GOVERNMf H r has made by man
for man ; and is as much the workman
fli-p of his hands r.s be is o 1 those of
h Creator. Both the wisdom and the
caprice of individuals, have planned
by different formt, ad the cnaraffer
and locality of nations require diffirent j
f- stems : But government of fonre fo'-t,
•always lias been and dill must continue
to be formed, in tli communities whe
ther civilized or savage. Without go
vernment there can be no law—without
law there can be no order, and, without |
order tire tilings that ate wouid, forth
with, cease to be—lt ia the ruling cha- ‘
r.f Ituoy.
IMe forms <*? government have b-cu,!

cienc and modern ijllory furnifh us with |
all examples from tie confufuin of 2 pure (

j plan mote pra&icafec than the one, and !
|h(s dangeroua that the other—it has sc- j
i know (edged the apjellation of reprefnt-
I .-idvc democracy. Tiie model in its very
! Tie nee embraces tie right cf fuffrag-,
and seems to be thtj happy medium be
t ween the licentioustift of unbridled paf
f.un cn the one hand, and the tyranny of
cocdenfcd power o| the other—ln na
ture there cannot bj: a more sublime dis
play of the good nets of Providence, and
the dignity of man,(than that of a whole
people peaceably afembiing, and by an
unsolicited and unrtflrained excercife of
elective Francbife, vwV/(W that •ifJorn
and integrity ilia'll ei:?d lat/sfor the mor
al and political government of themfeWet
and their posterity—These are the high
priviledges—thefe the peculiar preroga
..its of tnan. Flow thankful fhculd we
then be, without making invidious corn
parif.ins, for this manifcll pre-eminence
which we hold over til the other nations
of the earth !
With all these bleSlngs then it would
seem ve ( could be happy ; but, as an e
legnut, though untutored Scotch poet
truly fays, m.2n wut lam to mourn ”
The feelings of the incdell and the good,
ace ever the fpon of the forward and
aspiring. In cur days, as truth, in ail
former days, the third for wealth, honors
and power, has laid prodrate much of
I that delicacy of mental texture, and fit*-
vity of social iiitercourfe, which attaches
Jt'tZn to won, and won to his God.
At no time, perhaps, are the turbulent
pafSor.s set more adoat, than on (and
immediately preceding the day of eic&ion
and ai no time Ihould they be kept more
1 at rest—By this it is not meant toinlinu
j ate that cool indifference and fluggif'h a
; p?.:by as to the event, should usurp the
; place and take the lead of r.dfive vigi
■ ience and lively exertion. It is ucceffary
iaa well as prudent, to be continually on
j the watch, left difguiled waives might
1 creep into the political fileephold. A
! ftendy adherer.ee to principle ihould sl-
I ways charadlenfe a true republican ; and
in umca like these, when tr.ere is, among
us at halt, an apparently dead calm, he
should be usually on the alert, left an
unexpected storm might overtake him
and blsft his hopes forever—The inten
tion of the rema k was to Ihew that so
ber judgment and found uiftretbn fliould
guide our private cLdce ot public men ;
and that now efpeeialiy, when there is
among republicans in this city such har
•iso -- to p'iuciplff, but ditror l as to ;
me all private IT -5 and diflikra an. 1 , j
f’nuld be facrifired at the aitar of pub

of delegates, todiviil irfelf of all person
al bias, persona! prejudice, local attach
ment, and in fiiort, whatever might have
a tendency to divide or diflrack the re
publican litcred.
It in believed that all the gentlemen
now in nomination are honefl and upright
men—fume cf them pofl'tffed of that bril- j
iiancy ’of talent which does credit to 1
themfclvtr., and, when properly directed, ‘
raull do service to the (late. But that ,

j there would be a propriety in delegating
J fpecir.l men for special p.urpoics : for a

in enacting laws excluiively for the bene

The mind cf a v.-ell quail lie I legifist or

V/e congratulate our fellow cit Tens,
on the lingular end curious fads, th t
{or or.ee all paraei in the United States ,
j are agreed on one very important point, :
j the language of ind-H’- 1 "”" 11 againtl;
; O.cat Britain, a:.d determined rtfiftanee ;
10 any encroachoreat on our neutral;
j rights Different parties may be governed
iin this iuftarce by different views and
’ motives, but for once this language is
! uniform. The federalifts, in perfect
! confidenty with all their principles and
[ measures, both in and cut of adminillra
! ticn, are ftili the friends and firm sup
! portors of the rights of commerce, and
readily and willing to lend all their aid
to its support and protection, by what
ever power i: it aflailcd. The democrats
appear to hold at preftnt the fame lan
guage, not we hope from an antieat and
inveterate habit of abusing the British
government, but from a regard to the
honor and iecurity oi tr.e country and
that general inte>-eft, in which they are
themselves large partakers. There ap
pears then in this case no poflihle realon
why our government cannot hold a lan
cuage bold, many, and deceive. ‘I his
is a mod favorable opportunity, lor
them to retrieve their differing rtpitta
tiou from the cha _ ge or wvakneis and
pufillsnimity, under whiclr it has long
labored. Their ir.tercd then as individ
uals, and their duty a* magidrates, con
cur in pointing out the fame course of
I condutl. In the prosecution of raealures
moderate and judicious, but at the tame
time (inn arid Ueciiive, the federalida will
as we mod cofidently believe, support
them from principle- In meafuree cal
culated to oppose the encroachments,
and obtain rcdrels for the injuries offered
u by Great Britain, we presume the
democrats will support them from habit
and rooted prejudices againd every thing j
British.
REMARKS OV THE AKOVE.
Had the tenor of this article been con
fident with it felt, or with a correcl
knowledge of the powc xi 2 r.d authorities
veiled by the government in its fuachon-
aries, we fliould have been ready to
accord with our applause ot the Boilon
G::rette in the fentimenti of reprobation
and in the manly fpitit of refilbincs.
But when through ignorance or difre
gatd of the inlfitutiou of the gove: nment 1
that paper undertakes firft to censure for
‘a fuppoftd omission of duty, and for
which there is not the fmalicff founda
tion or esufe of reproach ; when it builds
a charge of pufiflanimity upon its own
bafeiefs and bale affumpttons, then we
can neither gir-j tny credit for the unu
sual expreflion of releritaunt againfl
Britain, nor believe that iulincefity aad
iincerity can be io cloUly united.
The Boston Gazette ouglit to have
‘known, or rather it is reprther.lible to be j
ignorant that congress alone is competent j
to the adoption of “ meafurrs ” oi acyl
kind, beyond the complaint and retnon-;
ilrance. to assert, that’
repreh ntation’ the *moft manly and d;g-
Pli .1, ! ave been already mace to ti e

tion and aggravation of wrongs and mj t
[jes we undertake to cflcrt that the ex

manner, wit’: regret both to Spai.t and
Great Britain, ns will obtain the applame
of the public of every party—unless the/
I creatures ol the Spanifb mwifler and Bf it'Jb
! mini, tier ; from these rninions the execu-
tive'will obtain a reluctant or extorted
credit. _ , .
As to antiphaties agairul Great B jitain
it is not mucit matter of fnrprit* ’that
‘ht-y should exiit in a teiul ican bosom ;
