‘NEW YORK. April it. 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, LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, May 13, 180®.
