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 voked the vengeance of heaven on ‘ e j 1 diicn ppcu tn: ■■■ x *•**.. 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, fence it is f uppbrted by the unanj^ipj^j ■ cty, thet‘.'•fore, widle they haded with pleaiure Me arrival of those French 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 ----er.ee was overlooked and tY.e national prejudices gave vay ‘.vh .ii the rights if hospitality vJ*fe tuft'-c cxrrrifed to-’ war a- -w® #*■ IDC > U, v( e -tC'n T C. of govern j fnent ’ very rnstteriui-iy ..mreient iron® lours the ,n party did not xt • fort to fcanoa’ousand rowuraiv I; } *e and vulgar auufe in order to bnv jat .hz misfortunes of thole unhvppy i fugitives rnort painful, but they ff&uF ed our the oil of coafolation into their afili£led bosoms —they were even pieaf cd to fee the marked fiffendibip wuh which they were treated by the iedc v alifls. 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.

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.
