From the National Intelligencer, Remarks cccrf.cited by Mr. Adams Letters. It has been often laid, and as often denied, that there are"men in this country attached to monarchy. The charge has been pronoun ced the calumny of party, while those who made it have declared it to be the honefl con viftion cf their judgements, eftabliihed in psrt upon evidence which they were at liber ty to divulge, in part upon that which a fcntiir.ent cf honor forbade them to publish rh.e former they have Bated; while they have suppressed the litter. On this point public opinion has beer, grettly divided. It is, however, firmly be lieved that the change cf the lilt administra tion was in a great degree effected by the general sentiment that there vvere men in th government whose views vvere fubverfiveot republicanism, and that the me a fur es of the government vvere calculated to further thtf views. Si ill the exiffer.ee of such views anti this tendency cf measures, were denied ; and the‘friends ot the adminiflraticn avowed an unequivocal preference of the republican, over ail other lyitems of government. To account for such denial, it may be re collected that at that period, a pred.lection i for republicanism not only exißed here, bur ; was vigorcußy active abroad. French ardour for liberty had not then been fib iued by the bayonet ; and the republican fyflem Bill pro- Tifed to fix its roots in that country, and thence to ramify its branches over Europe. But the face of things has recently chang ed, and liberty has vanifiled from France. Dazzled by the military gfory of che ui'tirper, or fearing the over-whelming extent cf hi. power, the French nat:op have lubmitced every po lineal right to tr.e mercy of the lword. In short the republic is fubvemed an and mc n arc hyhasr etu r n ed. It has not- escaped observation that th’s mighty transformation has been effected without violence or contention; it has been diftindlly seen that a nation of irrefifiable power has abandoned all its love for liberty, or has funk into a Bate of apathy totally i,i -conßßent with its enjoyment or security. It has been inferred that what has been thus easily effecled in France may not be difficult of execution in this country. Hence the publication of tliefe letters. Hit her 1 9 they have courted the ohfcuritv cl a rigid concealment. Their contents have been virtually denied. Now they are ulher ed into day-light by those very men, who had previously maniffßed the ftrongefl folicitudc to conceal them. And not buffered silently to’ pals the Bream of observation, their appear ance is attended., with applause and admira tion. These letters can be publiflied but from two motivesj either to damn the politics cha rafter of Mr. Adams; or to f'urnifh a rallying point to the difa'fieftion to republi canism that exißs in the country. If .the former be the motive, then, indeed, the wri ter will have as much ground to condemn tht perfidy of his federal friends—for the publi cation is from that quarter —as the republi cans, the great body of the nition, will have reason to rejoice in the exhibition of a danger, which lofts more than half its terror by pub licity. The political character of Mr. Adams is a point ct no national concern. That cha racter has long been fixed. The lingular and capricious movements of a mind without principle can no more excite the dcrifion of a friend or the indignation cf a foe. An early grave has consigned chat charafter to a Bate ox harmleß impotence. Bur, though all apprehension from this source is gone, the nation is Bill intereHed in the principles contained in his letters; nor can it cede to be intereßed while it retains its freedom. Thele principles are irrefragably monarch El. The writer may repeat as often as he pleases u I am a friend to a republican go vernment — I prefer it to all others —if his principles are such as are inconfnlent with its exi Bence, if they are such as subvert it, then will theie artful observations be considered in no other lic-ht than as guilded pills intended to deceive the patient who iwaliows the poi bn. ’ . Let us now analife the letters. The firft letter commences with the follow ing expre(lions : “ What is this world about to become r Is'the miHcnium commencing ? Are the kingdoms of it about to be governed by rea (on ?’’— This, lb far, is the language of irony. Let it be recollefted, that this letter was writ ten in the year 1790, when the French revo lution had juß burß upon the world in all the eihdgcnce of its glory. The edifice or despotism had fallen without a groan . pnvdeclged orders had disappeared without refill a nee ; an opnreffive luperfticion was an nihilated. On thele sublime events a spirit of congratulation had gone through the whole civilized world. No quarter cf Europe but rejoiced in them ; and in America it was be lieved there was not a heart that did not feel rapture in them. We beheld anew republic riling with the calmness and dignity of truth on the ruins of a fyflem which had long been execrated by mankind. V\ r e hailed the splen did event as the guarantee of our own liber ties. The illufirious Walking ton mingled his accents with those of the American Con gress, in conveying to our gallant allies, the sympathy, the aifefticn, the admiration oi r he American people. Yes, at this period of univerfd jov and honed enthusiasm, the man, who had once Bood the pillar of liberty in this country, is found to have ch- rifhed fenciments hoßiic to it in other countries. <f Every riling will he pulled down—i'o mich ieems certain. Br.t wiiac will be built up ? An ’ there any principles cf political at chile tin • e i'” Stioug Sanguajie so n the lips o L him wlio having < - o-oprrated in pulling down in rhis ounuy one fvßrm, had also co-o}ierated in u.ldmg another ! Will he lav mere is no prifjcipie of political architecture in this fyl te.n —in the conßitution of the United ura es ? B liev’in.i this, as ic is probable he dots, will he d,re to fay so ? ‘The an fiver mud be, no -übere unless in a fyflem cf mo narchy. We have a people, but without a temg and nobles, we are nothing ! Liberty recording to him, con fids not in a nation’s doing what it wills, but. in its being prevent ed from doing what it would by the wills of a xi.ng and nobles. Dilhonorable fentimerit !
