7 HE LAUNCH .
Y* morhiVig pVfdfely
jtio o'clock. was launched from
the upper fhin yard, the United
Ntates (bin PrcjUnt , rated 44
guns. The Hunch was conduft
cd by Mr. rheefmart, with great
•precaution, and in a manner
highly fatisfaftoTv to a large
c mcourfe of fpeTators who had
alemblcd on the occasion. Ne
ver before did we witnefs more
graccfuland magnificicntdefcen
tioninto Neptune’s clement than
the prefent; and we think it but
■juflice to Mr. Cbcefman, to fay*
flic is pronounced by thofe who
profefs to be judges, one ,of the
fmcfl (hips in point of elegance
in archite£lurc, that ever floated.
Agreeable to brigade orders,
the 6th regiment, under the
command of col. Morton—the
artillery, under the command
of major Curtenius, and feveral
other uniform companies, march
ed on the ground in front of the
lb ip, at 9 o*c ock, and imme
diately on her touching the wa
fer, federal falutes were fired
from the Umted States fhip
Portfmnuth, from the Afpacia,
Indiaman, and from the revenue
cutter Jay ; which were anfwcr
cd by the artillery from the
Ihord—after which the fevcral
imiform companies fired a fue
dc-joyc, and rmrehed off the
ground to the battery, where
they performed various military
evolutions wi(h arcuracy. and in
a foldier-like manner, which rc
flefts honour upon themfelves
as well as their officers. We
are happy to obferve that dur
ing tlie whole time the utmofi
harmony prevailed,and no acci
dents happened.
It is faid that the people of
ihc United States arc inclined
to a love of monarchy ; but by
\vhom is it faid ? by thofe very
men who in their official con
duft, ar the public fervants of
the people, arc defirous that this
fbould become the fa£l; by
thole men who have conllantly
voted for every mcafure mofl
clofely con netted with ariftocra
fy and monarchy; by thofe
very men who praife in an un
qualified manner the Britifb go
vernment, and declare it to he
the mofl Hupendous fabric of
human wifdom; by thofe men
who have advocated every mea
sure tending to cncreafe the pub
lic debt, who are friends to the
tfiabiifhment of a (landing ar
my, to a ufele r s and pernicious
navy, and who within a few
years pall have made every ef
fort to lay refhaims upon the
liberty of the prefs, to fetter its
mofl falutory operations and to
annihilate the pecuniary exifl
ence of the printers, and their
more immediate (upporters. It
is from this fource, with few ex
ceptions, that a hue and cry
inimical to republicanifm, has
iflued forth. It is time that the
citizens of every Hate fbould
look well to this matter. The
man who predltts an evil to the
(late will frequently be the firft
to accomplifti it, for fear that his
own pioduttion (hould be falft
ited and his own character dif •
graced. There is no truth more
ftrikingly vi'ibie, an a none
which oujjht to be more univer
fally impVefQve upon the Arno*
lican mind, than that wc are
back-Hidcts from the principles
and motives which guided us in
(he revolutionary war. But who
has accomplifhed this ? has it
been the refult of the aggregate
force of the public will, or did it
originate in the brain of (pecu
lating monarches ? The evil is
not yet fo far advanced, not yet
To uncurablc as not to be defer v
ing of the highcfl attention, th -
the (Irongcfl attachment of the
citizens of this country. It is
not the nation at large that has
offered upon the alter of ariflo
cracy its freedom and its happi
nefs. Defigning men have at
•empted it, and bad mcafurcs
have partially led to it; but, fel
low-citizens, it is your province,
it is the right which you poffefs,
it is a duty which you owe to
your country and to pofterify,
to arreft in its progrefs this
growing evil, and this muft be
done through the falutary chan
nel of rew elettions ; this is the
conflitutional mode of redrefs;
this is the anchor o F hope in
time of difficulty ; this will cf
fettually cme tile evil, and re
ftore again to America the love
of liberty, and to all political
laws a falutary tffett, deftruc
tivc to the poifon of monarchy
and the baneful influence of a
fpeculating arifiocracy,
