■ wur -cierjtls might again get
the ascendancy ; if by loans, the
debt it would create would as
surely bring the nation under a
despot : c government, as a mill,
stone round a man’s neck, would
sink him under water. If we had
a navy, Britain would not let us
be at peace with her upon these
terms ; we must lose all the most
profitable part of our trade ; our
revenue would be eat up by the
wars we should be engaged in,
and our prosperity would be as
certainly sacrificed by our con,
nection with Britain, as the wel,
fare of a young man would he the
victim of an intimacy with an
abandoned prostitute. If we
should quarrel with Great Bri
tain, our squadrons would soon,
by being captured, serve only to
augment her fleets; our own
guns would be continually turned
upon us, and we should spend
our money, means, and men, to
build, equip, and man vessels
for the navy of our sovereign
George 111. This, by exhausting
rebel America, and aggrandizing
our lawful mistress Britain,would
soon work the fulfilment of our
wishes, either by restoring us to
the government from which we
revolted, giving us a branch to
govern us of the royal tree from
which we were lopped off, or
at worst establishing a king from
among ourselves. Build but a
navy, and things will aril work to
gether for our good j and de
mocracy will soon, as John
Adams justly observed, become
as odious as witchcraft.
1 hate Jefferson — because
he is hostile to a standing
army in time *f peace. An ar
my is the most powerful weapon
you can put into the hands of a
ruler. Adams knew this, and
had Gen. Hamilton’s army been
large enough, America might
ere this have boasted a king like
unto the nations of the earth
but with the skeleton which was
raised, he could frighten refrac
tory persons, and punish s editi
ons but could do no
thing effective. Had he com
manded an army like Bona
parte’s, we might before now
have been blest with a govern
ments as energetic and dignified
as the emperor of France admin
isters : But even were we, by in
trgue, falsehood and fraud, to get
a royalists at the head of govern
ment, he could not mannage the
militia, foolishly infatuated as
they are with the ideas of liberty
and independence. Our militia
may protect the country—-no
one will dispute this—but to give
energy and dignity to govern
ment, we tr ust have a stand'ng
army ; and this we never can
have, while Jefferson has any
sway in our councils.
/ hate Jefferson —because he
is opposed to wan Peace en
riches the common people, and
renders them proud and saucy.
War by impoverishing the peo
ple, makes them huinbie and sub
missive. If we have war, we
must have money ; and for this,
must tax or borrow; must bur
then the people, or run them in
debt. If war, too, we must have
a great number ofofficesjto fill
these, our young nobility would
be brought forward. JVe mnst
have an energetic government,
and what government is so ener
getic as monarchy i War begets
corruption—and amid corrupti
on, republicanism would soon
wither like Jonah’s goard. War
would demand a standing army,
and when that army was once on
loot, we might not have a Wash
ington at its head to disband it as
soon as peace was restored.
War would require a navy,
which our pride would prevent us
Irom dismantling, and with
which we might from alliances,
provoke hosullities, and under
take whatever our ambition
might prompt us to.
in short, I hat* Jefferson, for
what he has always ueen, now
is, and is likely iorever to re
main, a determined enemy of all
arbitrary governments and mea”
sure*, and a decided friend of re
publicanism, buch are the rea
sons fur tile hatred of Jefferson,
oi one whs is proud to call him
self an OLD TOBY.
