WHEN the democrats were

in the muority, they had one fteady tafk to perform. One rigid rule governed all their conduct. The watch-word was underflood throughout the ranks; and their whole chapter of inftructions confifted of but two words-oppofe government. To oppofe government, was the fum total of the duty of a democrat. It was immaterial in what country he was born--what were his talents, or what was his character. Whether he was imported from Europe in the last fhip-or whether he was deftitute of both virtue and talents, was a matter of no confequence. If he could and would oppofe government, he was received by the democratic band with open arms. On the file of federalifm, differ. ent materials were required. The federalifts, in forming, adopting, and carrying into effect, the conflitution of the United States, had performed one of the nobleft and most important acts that the world ever witneffed. They had, amidst every difficulty, and in defiance of a powerful and

In the federalifts we find the firm and zealous advocates of our conftitution-the fteady and refo. lute defenders of the principles and fyft. ems of Washington; and if it is the good fortune of the United States, to efcape the horrors of anarchy and diffolution, it must be effected by the virtue, the talents, the wifdom, and the united exertions of the federalifts.

greatest dunce could find fault with, and
condemn the workmanfhip: But arduous
and honorable was the ftruggle to defend,
it. This tafk devolved on the federalists;
and the future hiftorian will tell how faith-
ful they performed it. After the conflitu-
tion was adopted, and it was found that
open and direct oppofition could avail
nothing, the antifederal or democratic
party immediately turned their arms against
the government. Every meafure, how.
ever juft or neceffary, was violently op
pofed and condemned. Perfons totally
incapable of judging of the wifdom or
policy of any tranfaction, could neverthe-

ocratic party, from the higheit to the low-
eft, began to clamor against it. To op-

A PLOUGHMAN,
At his Def.

[Mr. BLAKE, editor of the National Aegis, a very high-toned democratic paper, published at Worcester, Mass. took the liberty, on the commences ment of the present European conflict, to express an opinion, that of the two nations, France had been the most blameable. Such an heterodox o pinion, was inmediately attacked by all the most violent democratic papers, from the Aurora dowa. wards, and Mr. BLAKE was "mauled" by every jacobin cudgel in the union. For a considerable time he contented himself with merely parying some of the heaviest blows of the democratic ed itors, without making any general allusions to the party. At length, however, he has been drivea to the necessity of defending himself from the attacks of the whole host of democracy. In the following publication, he discovers an Independence highly honorable and, we confess, that he has treated his old friends with a severity which we do not recollect to have seen equalled, Edit.

than the chalifement we have already re-

thinking and until this is furrendered, it
is impoflible for us to give our affent to o-

Wishing to be as brief as possible, we shall, at present, merely republish, for the satisfaction of the Barometer-correspondent, one or two short ex

tracts from an oration on the anniversary of cur national independence-an oration composed and spoken at a time when more than a million of lives, under every species of cruelty, had already been sacrificed by the French revolution-an oration, spoken by a very distinguished fle leader, by a demagogue who is now high in office, and who undoubt

He often read and confidered them, and
the plaufibility of the affertions and argu-

ADDRESS,

TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND, (CONTINUED)

SUCH being the grounds of the war, fuch the wifhes and defigns, fuch, the prepofterous and infolent pretentions of the enemy, it next behoves us to confider, what will be the confequence to ourfelves, what will be our wretched lot, if that enemy fhould fucceed in the invafion and fubjuga. tion of our country. Of what the French would in fuch a cafe, do here, we may form fome judgment, from what they have done in all thofe countries, where the re miflhefs of the government together with the pufillanimity of the people, have given them the predominance. There is no country, into which they have been able to enter, where their footfleps have not been marked with blood; where they have fpared either high or low, rich or poor, fex or age; where terror has not been their forerunner, and where defolation and mil ery have not marched in their rear. Inthe long and black catalogue of French cruelties towards the people of other countries, thofe of the Firft Conful, and of the gener als and foldiers immediately under his command, firft prefent themfelves to our attention. In 1796, Bonaparte, at the head of a numerous French army, invaded Italy, declaring to the people, that he came as their friend and their brother, to deliver them from taxes and flavery, and promif ing them fafety for their perfons, fecurity for their property, refpect for their laws, and reverence for their religion. They lif tened, they believed; they threw open their gates, they laid down their arms, they received the Gallic Serpent to their bol on, and fatal indeed were the effects of their credulity! His reverence for their religion he difplayed by giving up all their places of worship to indifcriminate plunder and by defiling them with every fpecies of facrilege; his refpect for their laws was evinced, not only by the abrogation of thofe laws, but by the arbitrary enforcement of an unconditional fubmiffion to the man. dates of himself and his generals; the fe curity which he promifed to their proper ty was exhibited in enormous contribu tions, in the feizure of all the public funds, as well as those of every charitable founda tion, not excepting fchools, hofpitals, or any other resource for the fupport of the poor, the aged, and the helplefs; and, as to the perfons of the unfortunate people, he provided for their falety by laying the whole country under the fevereft military execution, by giving up the towns and vil lages to fire and fword, and by expoling the inhabitants to be pillaged and murder

On his return from Italy, which he left in a state of beggary and irretrievable ruin, he prepared for the invafion of Egypt, a country which was at peace with France, and against the people, or the government of which, France had no cause of complaint; but the conqueft of this country was neceflary in order to open a road to the Indian poffeffion of Great-Britain.-In purfuit of this object, Bonaparte invaded Egypt, where he repeated his promifes to refpect religion, property, and perfons, and where, the more effectually to difguife his purposes, he iffued a proclamation, declaring himfelt and his army to be true Mahometans; and boafting of having made w upon the Chriftians, and destroyed their religion. One of his firft deeds after this act of apoftacy, was to maffacie almost all the inhabitants of the populous city of Alexandria. "The people," fays one of his generals, "betake themselves to their "PROPHET, and fill their mofques; but men and women, old and young, and ev. en babes at the breast, ALL are mafficred!" Some time after this fanguinary tranfaction, Bonaparte, having mace prifoners of three thoufand eight hundred Turks, in the fortrefs of Jaffa, and withing to relieve himfelf from the trouble and expenfe or guarding and fupporting them, ordered them to be marched to an open place, where part of his army fired on them with mufquetry and grape fhot, ftabbing and cutting to death the few who efcaped the fire, while he himfelf looked on, and rejoiced at the horrid fcene. Nor were his cruelties while in Egypt, confined to thofe whom he called his enemies; for finding his hofpitals at Jaffa crowded with fick foldiers, and defiring to difincumber himlelf of them, he ordered one of his phyficians to deftroy them by poifon. The phyfician refufed to obey; but an apothecary was found,termediate space, the merchant, the mann willing to perpetrate the deed; opium was mixed with the food; and thus, five hundred and eighty Frenchmen perished by the order of the general, under whofe flag they had fought; by the order of that very man, to whofe defpotic fway, the whole French nation now patiently fubmits! Let them fo fubmit, but let us not think of fuch fhameful, fuch degrading fubmiffion. Let us recollect, that this impious and ferocious invader was ftopped in his career of rapine and blood, by a mere handful of Britons; and was finally induced to desert his troops, and to flee from the land he had invaded, at the approach of that gallant British army, by which Egypt was delivered from the most odious and most deftru&tive of all its plagues.
