It would be matter of cordial CO11g'1'}:1i2l1latiO119 if we could mingle with these emotions, the proud re—» eo1_1ection that, while our freedom and SO'VC1"€l_g‘I1ty" have yet been opreservecl, the lessential principles ot our I11depeondence had, in no instance, been forgrottexag , A ‘The; return tlfiis anniversary calls for a recur1*ence to these principleys; anql naturally conducts “ us to the enquiry, how far we have followed. in the footsteps, and how far We have Wa11dered from the laiidnlarlzs, of our political fathe1f's, Such is the task I have as.- signed to myself, in yielding to your request, and contributing my humble aid to the purposes of this joyous celebration, The few moments of tlCiSt__n‘€ I have been able to Acleivote to this task, amid the p1‘<-:r:‘.- sure of nuinerous other avocations, will present an om vious, and, I trust, an ample a.polo_.g"y, for the i1npe1*ii:<:.t. mainner of its executioii.

Even when girding our loins for another bloody sacrifice, is it not sacrilegep to approach the altar, upon which we have once ofl”e1fedAt1pall our resentments, in search of the torch of discord, that We may enkindle again the angry passions, that Were once so happily and so cor» dially extingttished ?

By a portion of the citizens of our metropolis, the very field of blood has been select- ed, as the scene of their annual rejtoicings, and all those who would not ima1‘eh under their banners to l the heights of Btimter, to fight over, in in1ag“i11ation,rthe. battle which a lapse of thirty-seven years has almost obliterated from our calendar, have been traduced as royalists, reviled as tories, and stigmatized as enemies to their country! i r In this protracted and unchristian remembrance of wrongs, which ought long since to have “been forgot. ten, We have palpablyt violated the pledge in our dec- laration of independence, by which We solemnly an- nounced to the world, that “ we would lioldthc people f“y of Great.-Britain, as we hold the rest of mankind, if‘: enemies in war-----in peace, friends.” A j ii , iiBytfosteri11g, as coincidentwitli an illiberal jealousy of ENGLAND, a spirit of blind, undiscri111inating' and overweening partiality for FRANCE, We have wandered yet farther from the primary objects of our Iwnarrlir» DENCE.

In abliud and seririle devotioii to France, I have traced the “' root “ of bitterness,” from which sprang the tree of our po-» litical evil ; and, in abjuring her visionary and ides; tructive theories, it was easy to shake off the sliaclazles of a Wild democracy, which has poisoned the peace, and jeopardized the best interests of our country. H For whatever may savour of egotisrn in this per» sonal vinclication, I throw myself upon your indul- gence, and ask you to return with me to subjects of atmore interesting nature. A A Ihave spoken of an illiberal jealousy of l.Ti11glar"iri,, and aniundue attachnient to France, as a departures from the essential priulciplesi of our independence, by which we ‘‘r assumed a separate and equal station “‘ ‘th 't’ l’ he "Ml ”’ T ‘it —~ rnong e 11.1 ions or t I.~..- eani. o Liese cause» mar also be prilnciioallv asc3:il:red, the interruption oil’ a tour prssperitr» the distress We hm ¢11du1‘sd»?h¢ degradation We have sufihred, the recent calam 1ty,, which, even on this accustomed ]L1l)ll€€, has shrouded our country in isackcloth, with every‘ impending evll, the esztenti of which no human foresight can fathorn. Shall I be required to furnish proof that the 13011-- cyi of ourrnlers hasbeen guided by these mpotives?-—---— Yolir patience would be exhausted, by arninnte anal- ysis of this efividence ; but willpermit me, I trust, to touch briefly on the more prominent topics. 4 The symptoms of this prejudice and this partiality, coeval tvith the adoption of our federal constitution, were displayed in the earliest deliberations of our in... tional councils. Our political PaZinzmzs,who now stands at the helm of state," who has conducted us to thep1‘ese11tiinost perilous crisis, and who is designat- ed to guide the Nation through the storms and tem- pests that are now lowering around us, was the first to propose a line of demarcation between our former en-— emies and our former allies, in the management or our foreign relations. His project of discriminating duties, by which a decided preference was to be given, at our own expence, to a comrnercial intercourse with France,’ was founded upon an open and avowed par»-, tiality for that nation, and a dispositionto retaliate for the injuries we had formerly received frorn Britain.---- This proposal unfolded the germ of political con- tention ; and the ardor with which it was advocated" by the partisans of France, indicated a propensity aw mong those; who havesince controuled the adminis- tration of our government, to surrender our character 213 alliI1Cl€P€11dCcntnation,and to embark with her in i any future cont-est in which she might be engaged.----~ It was strenuously urged that France had strong claims on the gratitude of the American people ; and that a proper sense of the obligations she had imposed on us, dieznanded a "A cormnercial arrangement which might tend to divert our trade from its accustomed chan- nels; and, as far as possible, confine its benefits to her, Q, “to, the exclusionof Great Britain. This project was warmly supported, not only in the “National Legisla- ture, but by the man who was then atthe head of our foreign departrnent; who soon afterwards became the head of a faction, erected a French standard on Amer-5 ican. ground, and artfully seduced a, majority of the people, to receive his bounty and enlist under his ban»- uers. The friend and disciple of Jlfiraéeazz and Com, dorcezf, he had just received his diploma from the school of French philosophy, andhad become a zeal- ous propaganclist, for this then unilluminated section of the globe. A Our American husbandmen had 9‘ sow» “ ed good seed in their field, but an enemy came and i‘ sowed tares among the wheat.” The soil Was, unforas. tunately, founcl too Well adapted to the growth of the poisonous exotics, which he had carefully transplanted fron_u the. botanic garden of Paris ; and although, thanks to a merciful God 2 they have not, here, as there, been Watered with the most precious blood or our country, yet they have taken deep root, have pro»? duced, in regular succession, a plentiful crop lof ca»-A lamities, and are, perhaps, only to be erztirpatpecl, by the toilsia11d,st1fi'erings ofages I A , A spirit of honest impartiality, which then prepou-T derated in the councils of the 11ation,idefeated‘ this pro- ject for vvidenincr the breach with Er1gia11tl,i and pro—- moting a more intiriiate union with France.
