COLUMBIAN Cj^NTJNEL.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23.
The awaken d spirit of the nation
will hail with satisfaction the firm and
dignified step taken by our gov rnment
to support its dignity, as developed in
Ihe correspondence between Mr. bn.ith
and M“. Jatkson.
Mr. Jackson, the minister of Britain,
it v/dl be perceived, has treated our go
vernment with indignity and insult. At
a crisis like the present, we did hope
to see the Jindistinguishing of the
nation demand s me firm and vigorous
measures—How has our expectation
been realis'd ? Joined to the manifold
injuries America has received from
Britain, we have seen many of our own
titizens abandon the rights of their
country and advocate her c; use.— lhe
violence with which a few of the
i federal prints have teemed against the
administration, has bt-tn disgraceful in
the extreme. Their patriotism con
sists in degrading the country, and
tli vir lo\e of order and good govern- !
ttient is manifested bv an indisetinun
Ate opposition to all measures not pro
posed by themselves. Such Slav swe j
dare believe, would be glad to break
into servitude; Commit a burglary up
on tiie prison, and ftsunon their chains
•nd hand-cuffs—Sycii slaves would i
doubt) ss prefer a ww with France, or ‘
r to trade, by British licences, to such
ports, only , as the mother country may
be pleased to grant, “by and with the
tonseht of hit My city's fnivy Council"
—Such si v, s live in ■> 1 ml of liberty,
With uit the spirit that Would issert its
rights and digfti.y. Sba't s like these,
Would f.H before the stioke and surren
der up the freedom, the happiness, and
the ' indep' ndi nee of their country.
Such ere they whom liberty cannot
r>i~:e, nor ignominy appal—unwoithy
•f Sierra Leone, or If t mv-iVay. Had •
•such si ives as these their w »y, the fair ’
fabric of American freedom would soon
•rumble into ruins ; but fortunat, ly,
tliere is a snffi icnt number of magna
nimous. public-spirited, and enlighun
td federalists alive to the honor and tiie
happiness of their country ; who, in
periods of difficuhy, h o-moniz with
the republicans, (not the Jacobinic
*• MAN-woashlppKrs”) ready to assist '
the nation from Mi evi's that oppress
and menace h r. If this was not the
case, ive should se- li some other place
as a refuge from national disgrace
even were wc to join the ottek skin
kkhs of Katnsk ilrua.— W Would not,
however, th ;t our readers infer, wc like
better those (lor there be such in our !
country) who iv,.uid the shot-bow :
I «f Napoleon; and as willing slaves, r- ,
in his triumphs over free and hap
py notions. These we also det st.
That there he s o h men in our coun
try >s we have described, im dispassion
ate reflecting man can doubt—This is
the truth, as solemn r.s if pr >n -unced,
tihon our condition, from Luia or
Mount Sinai.

A Dujtl took place* yest-ncHy be

of the House of Representatives, in
consequence of a difference between
them during the late extra sessirn 1
of Congress, whilst the subject relative
to Miranda s men (who have since ef
fected their escape from their confine

Mr. Jackson received the second nail
