oppnfitioij, which has l'r-n u.-ee i.'va
riably adopted, it would f. c inootity
many a blush, and national cha cl.
many a poignant regret. But, in ac
cordance with ‘he ordinary laws of na
Hire, under which darkntfs fuccrtds to
light, it would feeni as if by i'ome blind
fatility the preftnt oppoli'ion were invo
luntarily, and against their cleared inte
rells, driven to a course of procedure
diredly the revtrfc of that exhibited by
their predectflLrs. linifcrminate op
poiition, uninterrupted ahufe, the ascrip
tion of impure motives, the charge of
infamous character, the denial of even
common fenie, are rung in ten thouiami
changes from the firtt of January to the
latl of December, Every thing is
wrong, ever, thing co rupt—becaufe
tve E'e nut involved in war with Eng
land, with France, w"h Spain, witii ail
the pirates of the Mediterranean, and
fctcaule our debts does not increase with
the rapidity of that of England ; be
cause a valt army to the wed does not
humble the arrogance of Spain, and a
itiil greater navy, riding in proud tri
umph the ocean, dt>es not with British
quixotifm, wantonly spend the blood ai.d
ticalorts of the country.
Some tew mcalures, it might have
been hoped, would have tfeaped this
wanton dc-Tiuneiatioti. The defence of
otir trade by warlike mcalures, is a ia
vori r dogma of tederalifm, and a fplcrt
ciid navy its idol. When this iffi.re it
indrument was difpatchcd to the Medi
terranean, we were told the meaturcs
was federal. With fomevvhat of i hil
difli vanity fc leva 1 ills put the feather in
their cap, and droned with the vain gin
ry itinfpired. They were permitted to
ei j;,y the triumph j for our readers well
know that the lepuhlicai.s of America,
have always doubted the policy of a
large naval force ultd for the purposes of
protecting trade. They Live tin light
that it has “ an awfui squinting towards
monarchy,” that it lends to aggran.
dtic the executive, to embroil a nation in
pctpe.ua! war, and to build up a vatt fun
ded debt, or cteste the pretext for heavy
taxes whole cofkftion may require the
aid of the bayonet- But our good friends
were, in this refpeft gralffieei. They
got their hobby, and they rode it as ;n v 11
hobbies arc ridden.
£u Well, a navui so- i e was sent to tbe
Mediterranean—misfortunes, the n.fult
cf ancient, betel! u? —tlie force was in
cveafed—New frigates were equipped—
and gun-boats added, which the si y An
glifl applauded as mm'els, and wise fe
tier alius laughed at cs baubles. Our
captive country men h ive been released
Aid restored to the bosom of their coun
try, peace has been made on honorable
terms—Good men rej.iice that the sword
is thealhed, and the high fpiiitea exult
in the new hurtls that adorn the valor
of our countrymen. We have got ail
vve wanted without (bedding the blood
of the innocent, without facrifieing (he
lives of our brave tars. VVe have pie
ferved our force unbroken, ready, if ne
cefTary, to chattife tlie 11 juil’ce of cur en
emies, (boil'd an indignant country bid
them. For this we have paid the paltry
sum of 6c,000 dollars, a (urn, which,
divided among the peepie of the United
States, does not exceed a cent a head.
We have liberated ti.e nation from an
annual tax cf near levcn hundred thou
sand dollars. We have eftabliflu-d with
tlie pirates a cliaradler for justice and eu
eigy. We have taught them that we
can and will command the one, if neccs
faiy, with the other.
But u fortunately we have not dethro
ned the reigning baftlaw, and placed the
pretender on the throne—ft)earns of
blood have not flowed in copious liba
tions to tbe grim king of terrors ; the
helplcfs and the innocent have not been
immolated to the fslfe glory of military
triumph ; the pacific genius of republi
can America, whole virtue is her only
true pride, lias not wantonly murdered
the innocent, or desolated and depopula
ted the fields of the unoffending, and
funk the miferablc fhvt* of a despot ltill
deeper iri misfortunes.
JS Had this sanguinary feene been un
folded by the triumph of our arms, and
murder, ccr.fLgration, and famine wreak
ed their deadly and indifcrin.iuate vein
gtarice on thou lands’ and tens of thou
lands, history might have lmmortaliled,
but would it have approved the adt i
Would nut its impartial award have
placed it to tbe account of unruly pas
lion, and regretted ti e abfcnce of that
magnanimity, which, always just and
moderate, accompi.flits its ends by means
the leafl deltruttive to the heppiuefa of
ethers.
Besides, was it certain that the vldlo
ry at Derne was the presage of triumph
at Tripoli ? And if it was, might not
ti.e lives of cur countrymen have been
loft ? And for this what triumph would
have atoned ?
But, placing all these cor.fiderations
af.de; allowing it, on y for argument
fake, as probable that Mr. Eaton would
have vanquiftted every mterpofii.g ohfla
cle, full it was proper in Mr. Lear to
(elite and impiove the auspicious mo
inert, and to make peace on honorable
terms. It was light in Mr. Eaton to
rest contented with the lauieL he had
aimured. fits giory is neither mean
ror weak. In ttu3 fortunate event he
shares the honor. To him belongs the
sweet lefLdUcu of having at y aided the
reftont on of tltr -e fun'red of hi,, ft!
low’ citizens to their country and to fr,c
delin, of tillin g p .die a p. Li mi ue.il.oi

The Senate have had under considera
tion (fays the Louitviile Gazette'of the
2 ill Nov.) a bill to eilablilli a State
Bunk, and have agreed to pottpone the
lame until the meeting of the next gene
ral afil-mbly.
It is Itated in the fame paper, that a
bill is reported in the Senate for the or
ganization of the counties of Wtlkinfon
and Baldwin, and that a joint committee
has been appointed to draft a memorial
and remonflrance to the general govern
ment relative to that traft ol country late
ly ceded by the United S ates to this
State, called Walton County, to reqnett
Ccngrefs to put us in qujkt pofftliion
thtreof.
The Sparla paper of the 23d nit. fays
we are informed a bill has palled the
Houle of Rcpiefeiitatives regulating the
manner in which the fractional parts of
tbe surveys in the counties of Baldwin,
Wiikinfon and YVjye, are to be d/fpofed
of ; the genera! principles ts the bill an ;
Tbe i.dc is to be by public auction, for
tin fuperintcndance ot which three com.
mi slitters am to Lc appointed—thefale is
to be at Milledgeville—the payments
are to be in four annual inltalmeiitc. It
was proposed, but rejefttd, to all tw the
State Troop bounties to be received in
payintr.t at tbe rate of 25 ccntß per acre.
’File elections of Secretary ot ft ate, Trea*
finer, Comptroller general and Surveyor
general, have not yet come on—it was
fuppefed that the office of Comptroller
would be abolifltcd. A double delegation
had attended flora Walton county, but
r.citbtr had been allowed a feat.
It is generally supposed that the bu
fuiefs before tlie house will keep the
l.t g<fl ture in ceflion till about the mid
dle of the prelLut month.

would comniar.d tne attention and re

their iantallieal articles of Bullion, which
only firve to vitiate our habits and intro

The fnpprefiiou ot a cargo of British
