t '.s, we have rourttd them to our embraces.
Vc nave placed our own citizens at the foot
stool of clitns,- and suffered our young mm to
become dependent on their clemency. When
we talked of a non-intercourse with Enjand,
the federalists cxclamed that it - would lead
to war, but when a proposition was made to
annihilate our trade with France, these same
men acceded to the measure with the most
fervent complacency. That is, they were
anxior. to continue in connection with a na
tion, the balance of whose trade was six mil
Ihnt cgainst ut, and break off every inter
course with those whose balance was up
wards of -t:w millions in our favor. This
strange, unaccountable, prepowtt-rrus, dis
graceful temper and disposition, whicTj actu
ated the former administration was Iht

t pec tabic as llry do now with the bcllipeicnt
powcrn. Hoth 'tides now court them, where
us v.': have become the dupfi of each par
ty. France fetlN a recent merit because of our
firnver vindictive conduct towards her, and
England despises u for .our disgraceful
fusiU-.imi'y in crouching to their imposi

security and stability to our commerce, is al

apprehensions of Holland on the Northern
confederacy. Russia being the principal na

position of that country. It is founded on li

examination. If there nnncart a ttatm,iblt
ralists,' hfthc United States ? In what parti-'
eular has England gained an advantage over
l;u-.sia I Their trade is adihitted upon the
most extensive principles, as it relates to
the property of iu own subjects, nothing is
ieftto'chancein a court of law, nor depends
on vague authorities, promulgated by inter
ested judges. The treaty stands on a perma
nent basis jand the subjects of both countries
know how far to pursue their - conimce by,;
an inviolable guarantee, is to" the article' of.
condemnation.
The Anglo-Federalists, while exulting at
the adrahtages gained ly Britain over Rus
sia, absurdly eulogize the blessings, of our
treaty with l:nrland. It Russia is imposed
.011 whatihustj.be our situation ? Iftheime-
gociation has increased 'the power of Lng
kncl over the sea, what mysl be the. extent
of our surrender ? Nearly, every point which
is explicitly laid down in one, is omitted in the
other our contraband articles' are extended;
the lenn blockade is undefined; our trade is
exposed not only to a ship of war, but prha
tecrs ; and to complete the whole, even if the
capture is unjust, the .poor American s obli
ged to pay costs of suit. In short to compare
the Russian treaty with the American, will
giv; us the strongest abhorrence of this in
strument. ,
We have not only surrendered those ncu--tral
fights guaranteed to Russia, but re have
exposed ourselves to innumerable difficulties,
Hjtached to other articles in this compact.
.We-have restrained ourselves from laying a
ny further duties on their manufactures,
without countervailing ones on their part ; we
have subjected ourselves to heavy demands
for old debts, contracted by private mer
chants; we have placed English factors and
temporary1 residents on a footing with our
own merchants. They have a right not on
ly to reside, Lutto' purchase stores, houses
and shops." To remain without limita
