Jo the Eduor of the Aurora .
I mud give you another cir
cumOance in which you are
honored by the hatred of the
lovers of g *od order and regular
governmrnt. At a tavern in
Market-Hiect a few days ago, a
prrfon who calls himfe 1 f a major,
was blattering very loudly on
peace and moderation—-among
a variety of meek ejaculations
ae did not forget to curfe the
Vicc-Prefident, and Mr, Dallas,
and Mr. Gallatin, and the Edi
tor of the Aurora—he widied
rtiiy to have a guillotine
erected for the four, and very
honorably declared, that he
would give an hundred dollars
lo be your Executjpner; as you
have given me the name of the
Morristown Hero, I g!V e you
mine; and am ready to produce
several other refpeaable witnef. j

all things will end well. I well know

I dfimnd the candid alfen'ion of my
fePow-ci izens for two nafons : as ihelc
remarks arc written by one of
felves, a native American, one who is
proud ai d tenacious of his birthright ;
and from the importance and iulercftmg
nature of ;he lt is n«t necef
fary to mention to you, fir, that if :he
ea<!y growth of ambition and the fi ft
approa :hes of tyranny are not wa ched
and checked, it will be in vain lo op
pofc the ttrength of the r advanced
ma ur ty.
To form a clear and accurate view of
the prt&nr jurfturc in the iffairs of the
United States, let m enter into a cand d
and d fpf flUrate lamination. The firil
circrmrtance that ftr kes our attent on is
the want of union, and the violent pa ty
fpirit that prevails. This fpirit ia diltin
guiftrd by extraordinary rancour and
viru ence. It is not mere’y a
of opinion ; it ii not a falutarv, raiii a
tiag competition of talents ; but it is
d vio’ent, exterminating perfecu ion.
I his fpir>l has been too mush foft:rcd
and p ornotid by men of inducnce a d
lt is lime that it fuhfide ;
and give p’aceto a (pint of moderation.
From the former principle, the greateft
evils are to be apprel.endid I can
didly declare, lha: from it I finally
the total deftnrflton of our rights and
1 htrtivs Already have appear'd feme
effor'B to take advantage of our difuaron. ■
r l'be mini ns of r. yalty and defpotlfm ,
are either fo extremely weak or fo per
versely wicked, as never to diliioguifh
between the evi's arifing from the m f
lakes or excefs of a good principle, and
its 1 mited, legitimate opera ion The j
errors of parry, and the accidental ex—|
cedes of popular zeal, are by them ad
duced aa irrefragable arguments agai&ft
republican governments. ' i
j In this country onfortuna f e!y exift I
■ two parties. The one ia too much at
tached to French, and the other to Cri
tifh p litics. We ought to confine our
concern and our attachments to
our own country. Nature has ir.fulated i
us from the European continent ; and i
w fdom directs us lo keep ourfe ves free i
, from European cabals and litigations. !
At a lare town meeting in the fta:e of
Manachufetts, the chairman requefted
Ihofc prelent, who were friends to
Trance, to retire to one fide; and thofe
who wcee friends to Great-Britain, to
retire to the other. The whole mcet-j
ing divided to either fide, w.th the ex- j
ception of the chairman and a few old
meo - The chairman then fold them,
that there was nearly an equal number
for France and Greal-Britam : bui who
j were lo defend America ?—None but
few aged and infirm men. This is
j too true a picture of the prefcot hate
of partite.
j Standing armies have always Ucn
I thought by wife and moderate men, to j
, be dellru<ff ve to republican governments.
Notwithftanding the inconfertiblc truth
and importance cf this max m, it haa j
been thought proper to organ zc fuch
au army. Already hive we (en and
experienced i f s evils. Already have wc ;
fi-cn ittcmp'B made by the fu di ly to j

we are on the brn k of a war with the

der.ve no p r (lib's advantage; hut evil

we fhail probably experience me dangers

If wc examine the hirtory of different

n ver courted their friendfhip, but on
their decline and previous ro their final

with lomc politicians, that one of the
