Th'! numerous (hocking tales contained in rhe letters frojn Tre ]and, mnrh excite in every hu jnanbreaft, the ft ongeft detef- Ution for the Britifh barbarians who are inftrumental to fuch horrid cruelty. The black cata logue of dimes committed in that unfortunate country, ex hibits the fanguinary difpofition of defpotifm in true co ours. AVe live an age which of j s refinement and civilization, vet vice armed with power, in f:6h the mod poignant wounds on feeling and fenfibility, Mif crearvts in the wantonnefs of ty. rannv, fport with the forrows of a people weighed down to the earth with mifery and oppreffion. Wietched peafants are rendered more unfortunate by a remorfe lefs foldiers burning their cot tages, from wh ch their wives and children are happy to efcape almoft in a Hate of nature, Fa thers torn f»om their families by ruthlels villains and immured in the finders pefti ential hold, fight in vain over their unfortunate fate; but we have feen nothing • • f* I which violates fo much every principle of decorum and de cency, as the public whipping' of Mils D’s, in Cork. On that recital, wc felt an indignation in common with all who refpeft the weaker fex and who cannot but execrate the ivretches who could be guilty of fuch barbarity. Modefty is the principle charm of the fair, and is even honored by favages. What a dreadful punifhment mail it then be to a. female, to be expofed in public before a crowd of rude foldiers ? G:eat muil be the depravity of nvnd that cou d fentcnce any females to be whipped like cri minals, for a warUi expreffion of irritated feelings. Tor the Loui/villc Gazette . No. I.

W as it not becaufe that a very enormous, unwarrantable and giievous tax was levied upon our lands, houfes, and other■ property, that we objc&ed to the Britilh admimflration ? And was it not for the foregoing, and firnilar caufes, that thedeclaia-j tion of independence took place in 1776 ?

Or can the merito ious exertions of thofe brave men, who left ami able families and reipeftabie connexions who drenched the valleys, and crimfoned the fields with their blood, to obtain liberty and an equal government, be (pinned and fcolfcd at, by any, but a few nabobs, office hunters, and tciTce-boys of a would be monarch ? No man, who flood the heat and burthen of the war, or was direftly or incHeftlv inftrumen tal in procuring our freedom, or was a well-wifhei o f true reoub- 1 licanifrn, and has remained in h s fenfe« will corfent or ag r ee r o tor one fingle atom, of ou> pri vileges, liberties, or the right of fuffrage to be given np or relin quiffied, except he fhould have an intereft in expectancy from the n j w fyftern of anflocracy and oppreffion; and here he ought to aft with the utmofti precaution, for if it fhould fo turn out, that he did not (land; high upon the lift, or was not a; favorite on the diy of diftribu-j tion, he will find himfelf in a worle fituation, than if he h id rcm.iined an advocate for the lights of the people, and a re publican. No young man, who has I come into 1 fe, fince the pro mulgation and eftabliffirnent of an equal government, nor no foreigner who has become a citi zen among us, but who ought j to revere and adrniie thofe in-. cftimable bleffings, which are O 7 |de»ived from the free and full; j | ‘fountain of our republican go- 1 vernment.

It is therefore acknowledged that we are by our own virtues, a free peope, that the funda mental principles of our govern ment are founded in fieedom, and wc ought pofitively to de dare, that any law, resolution or oidinancc, made in contra vention of that fieedom, is a manifefl violation of our liber ties, and at all hazards our rights as a free peop'e, wc will main tain.
