Mr. HOLTs QRATION concluded.
If io the whole, wide, black Pic
ture of Britifh Wrongs, we were to
point to a trait of deeper black than
any other, it mud be the infamous
attempt of that government, thro’
iis Agent Henry, tc diisnember the
Union.
But wills difimembertnent of the
Union be efiv&ed ? Thu is a qu*f
ticn of thr ft ft conTquence; and
merits a lew moments of attention,
I twill be admitted thata dVfmeir.ber
teenr would be faen followed by a
fta-.e of things aimoft too painful to
be contemplated. Our fine coun
try w u!d became a theatre of bloo
dy civil w*.rs—it would be an arena
for the exhibition of the bloody con •
felts of European and American
Gladiators. Btr, that this difmcm
bermenc will not take place, is si
rs capable of demonftration.—

us tegether r*ujc firmly than many

arc always to be found in all coun

them. But fuch is the equality of
fortune am ng our citizens, fuch
tranquillity flowing from the pof

Ciift your eye over the territory of
Georgia. When Oglethorpe !and

twenty difF rent tribes of Savages,

government. This tendency of So
nciiesto union is net ft flaw aa to
efcape obfervatien—its progrefs is
eafiiy ad clearly percciycd. The
Post Oman iaforms ua that in his
days Ireland was occupied by
number of warlike ftates, and Scot
land by perhaps, an equal number.
About ten Centuries the little ter
ritory of England was governed by
Seven Kings—'Thofe kingdoms
were all united inoise under Egbert*
.Scotland was united to E ig.aed
bout one hundred years ag<; and in
our own days Ireland has been unit
ed io England.
France contained, aimed in our
own times, fix or feven different
governments, generally at war a

reign nations to come and help them
to deftroy each other—they, were all
united under the Great Henry the
