is better to gain the Jriendjhip of

If the American people are
inot routed to a fenle of their
I danger by the late daring out
rages, which have been com
mitted upon (evcral republican
printers in the United States by
1 the immediate dependants or
expedants of government, the
great principles of liberty, for
which cur fathers in '76 dared
the furr of a Britifh tyrant, will
Toon, tons, be a matter of hi/ -
tory only. Of what have thefe
Fditcrs of Gazettes been guilty,
this to excite the fury of our
newly railed military corps ? The
anfwer is cate—They have had
the unpardonable audacity to
expole the mifehievous and
wicked polity of railing armies
of mercenary troops in time of
peace. It is therefore that the
condud of thefe felf flyled
friends of order, in thefe irflan

-1 prehenfiblc, fince it was not as
a punifhment for anyj perjonal or
private conct rn that ihele out
rages have been committed, Ivt

1 and inevitably attendant upon all
\juch eflablijhments . This fo effec
tually flnkes at the vital princi
ples of liberty—fo completely
annihilates every fhadow of a
right in the people to examine,
through the medium of the prefs,
1 the propriety, tendency, or even
1 the necelfity of any public mea
luve, that the people who can
tamely fuller fuch tranfadions
to pafs unheeded, are ripe for,
and would uniefiflingly receive,
oriental delpotilm or Britifh ty
ranny in their mofl hideous
forms, As we know the people
of America to entertain an ar
dent attachment to the liberties
cf 1 heir country, and polfcte a
Ipirir to defend and maintain
thofe liberties, wc feel no appre
henfion for the iflue. T hey, or
their legiflative reprefentatives
will find ard apply the proper
remedy for thefe dangerous and
alarming inroads upon their
wile and wholclcme conflituticnal
lights .
With the evils, however, ari
fing from the all ults and beat
ings which thofe printers who
arc devoted to the true principles
of the confutation have Utterly
fo frequently received, lome
good inufl refult, The eyes of
! the public cannot fail tvcntually
,of being opened to the dangeis
of a (landing army, and the
pUrpoles to which fuch a force
may be applied, Of the expcnce
of maintaining a military force
when no necellity for it exifls,
the people will have a Jtiling
proof .
[_BaLimore American,
It were well, if inftcad of the
bitternefs and contumely of par
