and the want of restricting that commerce, from running to extreme and ruin, is the lost state of man. The minority, disobedient to the majority, converts man himself into merchandize, as well as cattle and goods, nothing else does commerce consist in, whether on land or water, than that of traffic, being barter and exchange of commodities and privileges between man and woman, man and man, and men and men, for the sake of profit and affluence to self; that of buying and selling, or exchanging of such things or concerns, as are susceptible of property, privileges and choice; drawing lines between all the things of God's earth, possibly to become the object of convenience and necessity, and lust and pride; as craved, by the design and disease of the sordid mind; and where is the avaricious aristocrat unrestrained by government, but what would get all the world, and be God himself as civil kings try to ? was not God to interfere, and down with their kingdoms by holy war, or other wrath, where is the aristocrat but the more he gets, the more he wants? how is this avarice to be checked, but by a restraining government? the minority, obedient to the majority, for that moment, that rebellion is successful the damnable king is on the throne. Every civil king is a whoremongering speculator, and a rebel, seated on the palace of wrong, whose glory is falsehood, and rules by aristocracy, because he had rebellious fools and proselytes, enough to forsake their God, and put the devil up, which, if all these dupes had remained obedient unto the will of the majority; which their society as a nation had first made; as the maxims of the great Washington direct, that the very existence of government, presupposes every citizen to obey, no king, would endanger nor this war exist. But oh! the serpent misconstrued the constitution. What are constitutions, but the outlines of guide, a dead letter having nothing to do with the living spirit of government, unless understood in the particular system of right. If it deviates from justice it must be altered by the free and voluntary will of the majority, and the people should unitedly act as tho right. All constitutions, may have two faces; one construed by the serpent to entice a cunning minority, disdain the spirit in which it means to exist. The true

to

meaning of a constitution, founded on justice and equity, as Washington's influence formed ours, had no other meaning, than that all the people of Columbia, collectively agreed ro protect each individual man; in keeping for his enjoyment, such property and privileges, as he shall invent, make, earn or buy, according to the regulations of the will of the majority, that the avaricious aristocrats, who are the social few, of course always the cunning minority, should be restrained by the will of the majority; and the majority being always democrats, and hundreds of times more numerous than aristocrats, was there no dupes-can enforce obedience and that is the very principle of government. All be obedient unto the will of the majority of all the union whole, and there will be no aristocrats upon the globe, and commerce restricted by the force of the farmer, who are a hundred fold majority to the mercantile few; and this makes the farmer, the sole author of that which he governs, and the rattling rebellion of the commercial speculator gets but his part, and every human system in na-ture, is but a constituent part of the great whole, making man, by the state of his being, but a part; he is prone to be a partial creature unto misery, therefore against himself individually, he ought to act collectively; and he is a true patriot and christian.

But frail.

man, being but a part, filled with the wants of being the whole, becomes a vile receptacle of the devil, attaches himself to those other parts the first and greatest to charm.

The many different professions in the pursuits of sivil life, besides those really necessary in the millennium, are pernicious, and of such fatal tendency, that the iron yoke always hangs quite round the heels of new born innocence. To support liberty, maintain equality, as near as possible, is to mark out their bounds and fence out their oppression, keep free from taxation that of labour, and of all honest pursuits of domestic life, not pernicious to liberty; keep out of the yoke of taxation, the only executors of all things, the only products of all food and raiment, equal and sacred to all, enforce obedience to all forbidden civilians; who shall attempt to eat but their part, that is who shall attempt to be rebela

to the blessings derived from toils of innocence; bless ings so highly prized, has ever led the avaricious civilian by the fore top, in the worship of robbery, in other words foreign commerce; pretending to be the greatest of all christians, for the purpose of greater deceptions for the speculation.

All that speculation, within the bounds of obedience, to the will of the majority, is that domestic commerce necessary to all, whose actors are patriots; but speculation, beyond the bounds of government, is the foreign commerce of rebellion, and all those who are the actors of that rebellion, are the foreign rebels of all iniquity,

The most prominent actors of foreign speculation, are found among those professional characters, pretending and in fact would be, the most charitable blessings of society, were they to act within the bounds of their profession, that is, within the intended business of their respective office, but are they not scarce who do not overleap their bounds of right? Those who go beyond the bounds of mortal power assigned to them, and no others, are the cause of all war. All countries they have destroyed. How much good the republicans have done, because aristocrats have first done bad. These build up and then pull down, on their exertions, all kings are elevated and all republics restored; and all is done by these professional characters, these brilliant actors of glory, these terrible actors of ruin. Why should priests and lawyers, make the bible and code of laws they use, more than merchants and physicians, make their goods and medicines ? since all men are not of these professions, least others may become their oppressed slaves. But if all men, were lawyers, priests, physicians, &c. and all make their own laws and medicines, all would go free from the yoke. There are always two sorts of these professional characters, in every country, the one acting collectively in favor of themselves and against the farmer and mechanic, and reducing them to slavery, and the other kind act collectively, against their present interest individually, and for their country's, farmers and mechanics future liberty.

Much good, as well as much injury, professional characters do every country; and which injury is in the same proportion, as their action is beyond the bounds of honest power, or of the professional power assigned to them; and which good of these professional characters, is also in the same proportion, as their influence is greater to act against those, who over-reach their professional bounds, than that of the uninformed farmer or mechanic; if we have good, we have bad. Against these professional characters, inserted in society, for the additional blessings of God, within the bounds assigned them, I shall say nothing; but against ye awful publicans, who trespass on the rights of man; much I shall say. Aristocrats you are, for over your heads, who overleap your pretended professions, who are traitors to that pretence, rises the cloud of iniquity. God sent you here to do good, but your hearts are foul with avarice; of course dishonest, for your hearts are filled with lust and pride. You edit lies, and preach hypocrisy.

Pretended great men, are of that nature, that according to their advantages over the public, that they will do bad if dishonest, and can have a chance, to act at full length of their chain. But those who happen to have an honest heart, and fit for true philosophers, do all the good they can, and get their property, by acting for their country; but those who are devils, the more they get the advantage of God's world, the more they want; and if they dont get the whole of it, and thus be civil kings or Gods themselves. The Almighty can remain on his throne.

But what would have become of America, had all the merchants, priests and lawyers, been traitorous tories at the revolution? to a few lawyers and priests, I do not mean the tories, and to almost all the merchants, we indebted for the fabric of our independence. But, now in thirty years of prosperity, fast growing Columbia has made so many thousands and thousands of doctors, merchants, priests and lawyers, that all cannot get office, salaries, fishes, and a golden heaven for life, go all lengths, all the lengths of rebellion, to destroy the fine fabric. The very name of America, was given this new found world by a merchant; that glorious name

Washington, stands recorded golden letters on the tablet of every country, by the combined mercantile world, against the fast anchored isle of commerce. Every spark of liberty, ever enjoyed, became reinstated by the contending wars of the powerful. Farmers be thankful to those who would cut your throat; where would have been our revolution, were it not for the Holland, French, Spanish and American merchants and lawyers, powerful men of all these countries, aided the glorious cause of Washington; a Fox, a Pitt, a Burke and Barre, stood forward for us; but now the combined navy, once superior to the whore of iniquity, and once our aid, is shut from the ocean. Where now is the Columbian merchant, lawyer and priest? Where now is the fine fabric of America ? Where now, are the rights of the Columbian farmers, who toil for all that is dear? yet these noble characters, whose hearts are honest, have not all deserted us; but remain like a Washington, and hang with all their wealth and wisdom, to the farmer's cause; and what now, would become of the farmers, were it not for the republican lawyer, the domestic trader, and Columbian editor, these true actors, though scarce, are filled with Columbian Patriotism, the domestic actors of their country's cause. But now, how many to one, of these professors of the blessings of God, are against us; for the blessings of the devil and fighting the cause of the whore, acting for lust and pride, all in the foreign commerce of the serpent; all want to be kings, since they got rich and proud by the Columbian farmer. Dreadful foreigners, oh vile wretches, trying to be royal Almighty, on the throne of calamity; on the calamity of that common country, which built you up, to office lovers of rebellion, crawl on the throne, and continue the calamity; that calamity shall always be continued, and you be nobles; wont the people groan when the wicked rule, and those are the wicked, who are the lovers of kings, will oppose their government, because all cannot be president; and these are the devils, who so much love office, as to first invite the serpent, by division into war, and then continue the calamity of debt, blood and ruin, all lengths, but what the foreign aristocrats will have
