But here we niurt flop—it is almoft facrilege to name this rcfpcc- table representative in the fame para graph with fuch wretched mifereants as the forememioned, who aie plot ting the dettnidion of the country. It is aflenibling in the fame pidure, the glimmering vapour from a pu trid vegetable with the beautiful, clear and tranfparent light of a Cum mer fun.] (Col Cetitinel) From the Bofton Patriot. “ Let yoslr moderation be known to all men ” Custom betrays all claims of men into extremes—it has a powerful in fluence on their tempers, words, and adions. For the truth of this we have no need of any other evidence than what will arife from an impar tial view of the hatred and jealflufics which fliew themfelvcs by indullri- oully concealing eacli other’s virtues; eirlier by paffmg them over in artful filence, or by exaggerating their fail ings, with a delign to cclipfe their good deeds. Among no dais of men does this evil more eminently fliew itfelf, than among Minifters ft Politicians. And while we rejoice, that many of thefe condud them- felves worthy of the ft at ions they till we htve much caufe of regret that of the human bread which areopp-j* fed to individual ahd national happ ; • 11 elk: This may be evinced by .1 ve ry fr.perficial acquaintance with the hiftory of part ages, and a common, but impartial obferver of the prefent time, will find fuflicicnt to give addi tional weight to the remark. If we draw a veil of charity over the bitter- ni L of the different denominations of profeffmg chriftians, and turn fair attention to the extreme oppofiriou of politicians, what (hall we con clude ?—Were we to judge frnn what we find in mod of our public papers, wc lhould lay, there is not fpark of patriotifm remaining in t!.a nation ; each party treats the oppe- -fite as though it were an avowed en emy of national liberty and inde- pendence, and aduated by theba- feft and molt unworthy motives, Onbothfides there are feme defign- ing and wicked men ; and otheru who have an unfhaken attaefitnenc to national virtue and freedom, lit fuch unfriendly contents we milti.kf? the point. Wc contend about par ty names, and approve or condemn men and meafures, not according to the principles of jullice and equity, lint according to the names which ■thofe bea--, who v/ete lire m iverit and fuppoiters of thofe meafu. es.—• Such party rage mull be deftrudiVc of good morals. It renders the heatc callous to all humane and chrilliait feelings. It not only deftrnvs all focial affedion, but that confidence alfo, which never can be given up, but at the expence of public and pi i- vate morals. Let it be carried to that height of which it is capable, and we may bid adieu to equity in j courts of juftice, to parental and lil- 1 ial affedion in families, and to ait that bears the name of excellence in j good lociety. For the truth of tin ; | let the blood of fhughtered million* witnefs, who have fallen vidims to its rclentlefs fury. What fhail be done ? Lot us put on that charity, which is the bond of perfection, by which we may hope and believe all poflible good of others, and learn with meeknefs and wifdom, to re prove and forgive their follies.— Thofe who are governed by the rage of party fpirit, may call this preach ing, and fneer at my advice ; and al fo iKi 11k I thculd tamely furrender my c.vil and religious liberty into the hand., of her enemies—but fuclr may perhaps fee, when it is too late, that the bitter zeal of party has done more toward the introduction and fupport of this evil, than evi-r after cm be retrieved, by the virtues of fee born Americans. The uncharitable rancour of par- tv fpirit, Itas nothing in it to prclervo the rights and liberties for which our fathers bled ; but, has a dired ten dency to fap their very foundation. We fee therefore, that tnoderatiem lhould be the motto of all, who are friends to their country. Who will fay, that this is not the voice of rra- fon ami of God ? Every precept and promife of the golpcl demands it. ’Bhe blood of departed heioes, as well as prefent and future felicity require it. Could our unborn chil dren fpeak would they not deprecate thofe evils which haffily approach us, by the hitternefs of party? WouM they not fay, lay afide your hatred, watch over each other with godly jeal- oufy -, and let f he violence c.f parry prejudice, give place to heavenly tempers, and brotherly affedion; Or could flic departed ghoft of an As fits be permitted to addrefs us, would lie not proclaim from the world of fpirit'., “ let your (religious and political i moderation be known to all men ?” A FRIEND. 0 j ■ „ a,, 1,1...101,1 m cf this act.) the lawful commcricoil others have ufed, and ftili ufe then the United States, againft the power I utmoli influence to promote part. puniofes, by inflaming thofe paliicn. continuing in force its decrees. *** 'i’he subscriber CNpediiig to be abfent from tiiis: Rate a lew months, has appoint ed Capt.
