To do this, lie ■ p St * lavc uncounted millions of ■° De / *his money must either Braised V taxes on the people, B f loans; if by taxes the ■ ’Die would soon turn out of ■!/’ those, who were heaping ■ V r oi, table burthens upon then), ■ 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.
