Abi ut • tree years ago general Mo
reau was exiled to this- country by the
French government for a conspiracy
agaiuft the government. On his ar
rival iri thi- cournry he was hailed by
the federal party as the illullrious
champion of liberty and the per fee ut
c.d vidim of tyranny. The federalitts
proclaimed his wrongs in the moll; pa
thetic. drains. Every where were their
arms opened to embrace the peifecu?-
ed Sc exiled patriot. Every where were
hi.s name and his virtues loaded with
: the mod rapturous apptaufe, and the
country was congratulated on its be
coming the sacred afTylum of oppred'-
ed humanity. On this occasion no
pains were (pared by the federal par
tv to enlist the passions of the people
of this country against the French go
vernment and the French nation. The
; banilhment of the hero of Hohenlcnden
i was pronounced as a tyrannic ad of
opprellion, and our pious federalifts in

cans received the exiled genera! with
equal cordiality, but with far different
motives. They knew that he had been
engaged in the glorious cause o( liber
ty. They knew that he pofFcffed ma
ny virtues. They knew that he w r as a
’ eput lican, and as such they welcomed
him to the land of liberty with un
feigned affection and friendlhip. Tfev
wifiled to render his exile as agreeable
as possible. Their frienrifilip for him
was the rcTult of a fond attachment to
republican principles —it was the spon
taneous tribute of republicans to a
“brother of the same principles” who
had fought and bled for thole princi
oles. They witnefled with grief the
imprafHcability of ellabliffiing a re
public in Francfe limilar to our own,
becaufc the habits and difpofuion ol
the French people w r ere not, perhaps,
(o well calculated for it as in this
cun ry, They knew that the pre
fern governrneriFtn France was etfa
blifhed by tnv: will of the and
A f that reason cotriiderrd it inviolate,

citizens whose ideas of repubHcanifm
were more expanded than those of the
generality of their countrymen and
more congenial to our. own* did not
think it proper to interfere with the af
fairs of the French government or ex
cite the pafiions of Americans against
it. They viewed general Moreau as
a republican who had come to reside
among them and to share with them
the bieflings they enjoyed, and they
welcomed him with the fame cordiality
as they do every other foreigner who
brings with him a similar attachment
to republican principles, but they did
not think it proper to wage war against
France because the government of
that country is different from our
own.
During the period of the French n
volution many French royalv&s emi
grated to this country and bro’t with
them their prejudices against republic
canifm. —These men were treated by
•the republicans Vith the tiviiity which
is due to unfortunate strangers who
seek a ppacable asylum nmonga gene
rous and virtuous people. Tho’their
political principles were different from
those eherifhed by a large ma jority -of
the American people, still i\ Ai dft'-r

How very different has been the
eohdudl of the federalifts towards those
unfortunate fugitives from Ireland who
have taken refuge in this land of liber
ty as the fanbtuary of rcpubiicanifm*
These unhappy exiles, adiuated by the
fame pure, virtuous and patriotic mo
tives which governed a Y\ alhington, a
I Franklin, wilhed to ffake
’ off the opp, chive yoke of British ty
ranny 3 but they were not, tike the A
rriericans, fuccefsful in the patriotic
undertaking. St?! 1 cherilhing those
principles of liberty for which they bad
m vain contended in meir own
try, 1 hey preferred a voluntary emigre
non to this country, where they could
enjoy liberty, ro remaining in their
i :m. iuiy<- i to i!w ri?•'.***•‘For) of ar
unfeeling ucipotifnj. Among thole
who emigrated was the unfortunate bur.
illultriorts Emmet. Encouraged to
‘■■ike ihis step by the friendly invitation
given 10 his countrymen by the firft
‘American Corigrcfsjand knowing that
the principles of our government were
congenial to those he entertained and
eherifhed, he bade an eternal adieu to
ius native home and haflened to those
regions where oppressed humanity, we
trust, will ever lind peace, fai'ety and
protection. From those republicans
who have remained faithful to the
principles of ’76 he received those
marks of friendlhip which charafferife
the generous advocates of freedom in
every febtirm of the globe. Far dif
ferent* however, has beefn the condutl
ol the federalifts towards this amiable
man. It was fufficient that poffef
ad virtue enough to oppo'e the tyran -
ny ‘>l a foreign government over hi*
enslaved countrymen, to render him
obnoxious to those federalifts who are
more friendly to the government, of
,d° ihkr film:
iiient to Mi Emmet and every other
man who has taken refuge to the Unit
ed States as the only country on earth
where they, could enjoy civil and reli
gious liberty. The federalifts,
the Bfitilh imniftry, have a mortal a
verhon to every thing that bears the
■eait. affinity to republicanifm* and one
of the principal articles of theif creed
is to destroy it wherever it rears its
head. Every thing mu ft be facrificed
to their hatred for France and their at
tachment to Grcat-Britain. T hus we
fee how “ iconfiftent and irrecon
cilable conduct has been tow
ards two persons who have emigrated
to this country under circumftancesa*
nearly bmilaf as possible. Mr. Mo
reau came to this country because he
could not eftabbfh a republic irs
