feminated rib; while the straight but narrow path blinded with the many narrow and crowded dejected victims of ruin; to the straight wisdom of the few Noahs, Abrams, Columbuses, Franklins and Washingtons of light, shining uncomprehended. Is it a

wonder that the commercial cities grown out of the already deluded, have ever kept up the sea breeze of expanding and retracting darkness over grateful countries of surrounding suburbs; prostrating the great bulk of farmers and mechanics, under their invisible influence as toads under the harrow; while the farmer's government of righteous equality, had ever aimed at the real rock of all order, though ravaged beneath the leather soals of backsliding deceivers.

Was there ever a republic whose minority was far. mers ? never; but infant tillers as first born by nature free, are nature's pure uncontaminated majority, until deluded astray by the serpent of minor power; why, because the powerful few aristocratical charming noddles of cunning, (not the still fewer and wise) derange the new born infant many, with ensnaring easy learnt Jessons of darkness, before old enough to learn righteous wisdom.

Was there ever a republic whose minority had not the majority of aristocrats? never; because their majority are the first to rebel and the last to reform.

Reformation has her only encouragement from the interest of agriculture. When the eyes of farmers open to the dawn of republican light, and liberated from the yoke of ignorant oppression, at once they cry and crawl for independence; it is them that unfurl the banners of equal justice to all their soil and cities; yet cities are the last to obey, and the first to wrap themselves in the very flames of the enemy, while it is the interest of the farmer to protect his surrounding seaboard; obedient thereto, prosperous and safe is seafaring freedom, beheld by the eyes of paradise, bordering with Jerusalems of candor.

Commerce can no otherwise have regulation than by the wide opened eyes and government of at least the bare majority. Order is a stranger to the will of a

third or of two thirds of any constitutionally tyed compact. Because, firstly, a third of the delegated members of a body politic being the constitutional will, the other party of two thirds being the great whole, has the stronger arm not only of manual power, but of the powers and voice of great nature, to crush the repugnant rebels, who in form had the best of a bad bargain. Secondly, were two thirds of the delegated members of a body politic or nation, to be required for its constitutional will, the will would only be the will of wilful men, and not of nature's law, of course repugnant to right; and reformation be impossible.

It is the sinful will of a minority that enacts, annuls and breaks every human law; the will of the bare majority is directed by a necessity which extreme minor wrong creates. To regulate minor powers of wrong might require only a little higher power of right, and a very little higher in this burning lake of corruption. If no minor wrong existed no law would be enacted. The thief stole then law said not steal no more, and beware that thieves do not steal in a bare legislative majority and enact the lies of thieves. The righteous want no human law, they themselves are the divine law of their regulation. That of enacting just laws is but the will of major right, put into action for the restraint of minor wrong. The farmer's embargo is never wanted, if the mischief of the merchant never enacts it. The devil, though a great self-destroyer in the old world, in the new he was only a small one, before he cut his own throat, enacted the embargo, not only to keep out of congress, but annulled it to crawl into war, and while in the midst of the flames, because he could not be. come the bare majority in minor power, wanted to alter the constitution so as a minority might ravage the farmer, by two thirds being required to save them by an embargo. Besides all men being particularly selfish, it might be impossible to delegate a legislative body, whose two thirds taken from a mass of corruption might be generally incorruptible. Indeed have not a bare majority of all eastern parliaments been partial speculators, and will not these very two thirds be the

few principal aristocratical speculators of tyrant foreign commerce, as their smiling faces and charming croakings, are more inviting than the industrious, unless the farmer's bare majority, whose labor produces all commodities had the power to embargo their forgetful fury, Then beware that in this state of corruption, that our congress when thus tied shall acquire even a bare majority, much more a majority so vast; be watchful of the liberty of less; and elect even a bare majority if you can; ye lovers of liberty, in these days of disunion. In these awful days of danger our salvation night at a degenerating point that might happen, depend on the constitutional will of only a third of the legislative members, to restrain by an einbargo, or cut asunder by the sword the growing dangers of wrong commerce, then be prepared for an embargo, and it is not to be so. Have not nearly two thirds of our congresses forgot their country for themselves; observe then how jeopardized would be our liberties in ruin.

Let not our constitution be so curtailed, that our agricultural will should so rarely act in congress, as that the great two thirds both out and in congress shall be silent slaves to a powerful few, whose rebellion out of congress is so dreadful disorderly, that ten thousand congresses of their own make could never govern them.

The one extreme from the bare majority in the regulation of commerce, is as wrong as the other, because both renders the power to a hereditary few; a repub lic has no other will than a balance of its bare majority, to poise at the pleasure of the people's elective franchise, to act with freedom, returning free from entangling commerce, for which is the only entangler; that only devil of the earth.

This day how terrible is the aristocratical sea breeze influence over the agricultural interest of a great agricultural country, hardly a bare majority in congress can be gained for the farmer's will in the regulation of which commercial influence; how much more dangerous their liberties would be, was their will sunk into that insignificant silence and mercantile servitude,

as required by some opinions, who propose that the farmers shall have all of two thirds of the congressional members, before they shall say by an embargo obey God ye aristocratical deceiver. Would not our country be ruined, before the farmers would open their eyes wide enough to elect such an overwhelming majority as those opinions require, before an embargo shall prevent the merchant from selling our country to the common enemy of man. Not to be understood that because in political opinion I differ with any gentlemen, that I censure them as enemies; opinions as have held forth that the constitution of the United States was imperfect and required amendments was perfectly correct, and that those articles which certain gentlemen proposed, whether or not, that they was the result of candid opinion, is not for me to judge, but by fair rea soning; from freedom of opinion and the power to refute, as nature and the rights of humanity grants it, was my constitutional liberty to condemn them.

ADDRESS TO ALL PARTIES.

IT was a spectator, FELLOW-CITIZENS, retired from the world's late tremendous convulsions, that had attentively contemplated on the movements of the stupendous machine, from the internal clock-work of which, much research deduced the preceding result; notwithstanding my many errors, the object of the arduous undertaking was to secure the happiness of all your lives, to prolong that invaluable liberty so dearly loved. The OLIVE BRANCH having appeared to the Ark, I interpose the preceding Constitution as the Arrarat of its eternal rest and FREEDOM; where else is our permanent felicity, discover sacred truth and learn; where must we unite or bury our liberties, other appellations than the COLUMBIAN ARK invites it not; then why divide with official foes affection so near; neither party paints the path, that unshackles the chains of original sin. The farewell legacy of the FATHER of our former UNION, digested our duty to LOVE; HE recorded the sacred truth, that general defence is our only salvation; the unity of general government our only freedom, but the tender bud has never swallowed it; he is entombed in Mount-Vernon who told this sacred principle; against this most brilliant of all LIGHT we have rebelled. States against the union of states Columbia knows nothing of; an obeyed majority of united whole, is God's only absolute government; he knows no minor authorities, they are beneath his divine freedom. Of the two ways, one is always to hell; there is but one HEAVEN, one TRUTH, one GOVERNMENT; it is ABOVE, to which rebels are below.

Common sense of common rights is momentous, it astonishes rebellious wrong; truth comprehended, rebels must obey; those who join first enjoy first; the many will conquer; the righteous few will repulse a whole world of divided wrong; rebels can never dare
