Saturday Evening, Fel
It seems to be sea: ccly requisite any further
to notice the tory spirited ebullitions, of men
who are so notoriously known to be our ene
my’s hirelings us are Colman and Hanson,
Colman, it must be admitted, often displays a
strength of intellect, the prostitution of which
it is not possible fora good. American to te
rrain from lamenting. But some men of mind
were tories in the revolution, and we must not
wonder at the same faEts re-occurrenco now.
Hanson, however, mefie contemptible in mind
than he is even despicable in appearance, evin
ces only the torified daemon, without any show
ei ability that awakens even pity for its misap
plication. That polluted vehicle of British
slander, Q he l'cdetal Republican so called !)
over which tbs mcagie hireling presides, has
abounded, of late, with the most abusive fe*
marks against this state** movements, though
sanctioncdjby all the formalities of' law. If we
have evinced a spirit of irritation in this exor.

point beyond which the spirit oi man ought
not tovfotbcar. There is an expanded,senti
ment of love lor country, which is united with
a minor attachment ter the peculiar place of
man’s nativity. Though we call this peculiar
passion at.rr.inor attachment, we are assured
that it pertains to every heatrt in which the be
nevolent and fairest sympathies of our nature
play. Ready to^ perform^ bumble but faithful
citizen’s portion for A/nerica, I join with this
readiness a jealousy for the character of Geor
gia. United by compact, the interests of these
states cannot be separate. It is against those,
though, and only those, who treasonably at
tempt to inculca e the idea of such seperste in
terests having existence that we write. This
jealousy for the character of Georgia operates
hostilely on men alone, then, who would, by
dividing, weaken and destroy America. With
a love for America in her federated capacity, it
is, consequently, altogether compatible.
Hanson’s remarks (if they bore any indict-
tions whatever of a good heart or enlightened
mind we would know them, not to be h e) are
only observed here that men’s minds should
become prepared for an event, which always
places the poigniard of a son against the bosom
nfa fa'her, and the dagger of a father against
the bo3om of a son. Never listen to that poll-,
lician who would lull you into security when
there is the remotest appearance of danger.
On the safety of the state depend the lives oi
thousands, and as human lite is precious so
should treasonable menace be duly attended to.
You arc told they threat merely to drive you
into a system cf conduct which they desire to
see realized, but that, even if you persevere in
your old measures they will never attempt
to execute their threats. The man who is ca
pable even of threatening to commit treason is, of
course, a vagrant aud scoundrel ; for if he
would net execute what be threats, then he is a
liar, and if he would execute them, then he is
ripe to be a traitor. But remember that ail
troi’ors and villains a r c not cowards. We do
not doubt pur power to put down treason, let it
rise even with a temerity surpassing valor; but
to make that powet V operation at once effica
cious, it must be held ready for insianeous ex
ertion. Read—
-‘‘A foul and faal blot was affixed ta our char

cubje&s of Spain,” On ibis fatahood no single
comment is nccessay. But read on—“ It has,
however, been found essierAo pass then to exe
cute tbe law.” As the Uw never was passed,
only such a wit as Hanson can wonder at' its
eoc-exeeutiop. But here, reader, note trull—
the Blacksmith too. This mode of speaking of
our officers is the true old tory style. Who
has not read or beard this anecdote " An
American captain, soon after the revolution, at
tended • play at Drury Lane, in which an event
of that glorious war was dramatized. The
American officers were represented one as a
taylor, another as a shoemaker, and so forth.—
The American, seetdg his countrymen thus
treated, exclaimed as be left the theatre, “if you
even proved American officer* to be" the eontemp
title beings you effect to consider them, even
then, (you grinning ideots) you would be laugh
ing at proving yourselves still more contemptible,
lor being so easily flogged by them.”

Why, should we wonder that these Boston
'printers, who send so many pfyeis to Canada,
areansious for the preservation to England of
the allegiance inalienable of all her subjects ?
They act from motives of gratitude and bu

and humanity to F.nglisb subjects. Feeling

in the British service, they would not have ifi<se

are: natural bo n subjects themselves without
any exception r unless their said fathers wetc

Tea verily, reader, this is English law as giv
en gravely by Judge Blackstone. He lays
down a tule in explicit terms, and declares, that’
it operates without any exception: Still he in
stonily cites cases of express exception. Yet
fie. is not more inconsistent than the British ate
themself es in; their practice and theory. Lis-
to the ‘language of Britain as recorded by
b same judge.
"Children of aliens, , born in England, are na
tural botn subjects”^/'. ' v
That is—American aliens are naturalised in
England, and then, having children there, those
children are natural born subjects : Yet British
aliens, naturalized in America, and having chil-:
dren here, are not to expect those children to be
naturalborn subjects. This is claiming as a right
what she refuses us t and if it be a right in her,
her tefusal of it to us must be an insufferable
wrong. The child of her subject, she pretends
owes her ah inalienable allegiance: yet she;
alienates every;American citizen’s child, born
in her territories. There can be no American
feeling in that contemptible spirit, that would
yield to England as national right, what he would
not insist on for his own country.

Mr. King stated the difficult nature of this
