let them avow themfelves, and
fuffer their own private characters
tp "Undergo the fcrutiny of the
public eye, and great doubt exifts
whether they can acquit rKemfelves
wi.thr? that credit which Colonel
Taylor, for many years, has uni
formly fupported. The man ol
talents, who would lurk in arnbulh
to rtab ihe reputation of an upright
perfon, is to be detetted as the ma
levolent and unfeeling aflanin ; but
he who has neilkerahrits or repu
tation, can only be refcued from
obfeurity by attacking fbme peifon
in publip eftecm- Colonel Taylor
is a native, was a friend to the
Revolution, a friend to our Inde
pendence, and to this hour remains
a friend to his country No man
can upbraid liim for withholding
his due. He is refpefied by his
friends, and obedient to his God.
" There is one con fideration ari fing
from the attact made upon Colonel
Taylor, which demands the ferio'us
attention of. the Freemenof Ame
rica. It has long been the prac
tice of the B ritilh agents in this
country, . by .( the moil mean and

to blaft the fair reputation of thofe

pett to BntiQi capital, is fully
corroborated by an official report ol
Lord .Hawkefbury, Prefident of
the Board ot Trade and Plantations
in England; The Citizens Of the
United States ought to roufe them
felves fronrthe lethargy into Which
they have beehj;lulled by the par
tizans of Britain! Too- long have
the wellpnwted fchiemes oj Bri V
tilh traders buried the American
manu faclurer in btfeurity,. or co
vered, his 1 iftng. attempts with di f
trefs and rum. Too long have the
Britiih merchants drained our
Cam, deprelfed and monopolized our
export trade, and by carrving our
ftaple productions through London,
tngrofled the profits or the Euro
pean market. Too long have we
beheld-the tranfporfation of our
funded fecutities, upon, which we
rnufi in futurp4y he iutefceft in
England. V'jToo.r Tpbg' thavle v we
blindly approached that ; 'period
which threatens to place us in fub
jeftion to a foreign ari floe racy of
mercantile advanturers, who mull
inevitably, under the prefent fyf
tern of things, Ibon efUblifh them
lelves as Lords ol the Soil, and
reduce the'; independent Sons of
tmerica, to tne aDiect itate or
Tenants at Will. It is high time
for" the Citizens of the United
States tb hold in merited contempt
the libellers of Republicans and
Republicanifm, and to fl art from
that infolentdomination with which
they are threatened. They ought
to learn wifdom from their op
preifbrs. They ought to reflect,
that It is only by reftraining the
iflues of a nation, its prpfperity
can be fecured. Great-Britain
never could have ranked with the
Erft nations of Europe, if jfhc had
not uniformly prachled upoti the I
maxim, That nothing ought to if-l
fue from the country which does
not command at lea ft an equivolent
return. Whenever the order on
this practice becomes diflorttd, the
heavy burdens me fullains yiil rufh
upon hef wide fyilerh of commerce,
and her overftrctched fyftem of
government ; introduceban kr uptcy
into every departmentof the former,
and inevitably deflroy every fem
blance of the latter. This mart of
nations, owes her prpfperity ori
ginally to a very fimple experiment,
and fuch a one as we ought to
adopt. She difcouraged, and .in
fome inftances prohibited, jforeign
manufaclures, and encouraged ma-;
nu factories at home. Soonjieriti-
jecls became equally proficient with
tijeir neighbours ; and lobri would
the citizeris oi America, if properly
encouraged; eftablitli -imliritifaeX
tories- of the principal arttclei !f
co'nfumption, which wOu(d need
no auxiliary. Then would foreign'
nations ceafe their intrigues with
our official fervants; and never till
then will bur Independence be
complete, or our Liberty jfecure.
