It is with considerable regret, I see our public papers copying the language of the London Courier, and other organs 'o ministerial opinoins iq England, and calling the exertions of the people of Eu rope, as well as Great Britain, for their rights and their bread, sedition, conspira cy any thing, to deceive those who judge"! by names. Let us see what the .state of the question is in reality. x 4 When the potentates of Germany, Rus sia, &c. had tKe fear ofJNapoleon before their eyes, and whetKmeir crowns were codding on their heads iready to fall, the Emperor, the Kings, and the Electors of the various Cirdes, called upon the peo ple'atlargej not to defend the liberties they actually possessed, but those they meant to bestow upon them, in order to mike them worth fighting for. They promis?d them a free press, a represen tative government, and; other trifling things, of which the people have learned j of us. to be exceedingly fond. . Lured by these promises, the people, landwehr, j rose ; and, let the puners of Wellington and Blucher say what they will, it was the jteople of the north of Europe that put down Napoleon. Things, being now pretty well settled, the people at first modestly request, and, after repeated eva sions, demand the performance of these promises. But the fear of Napoleon js rTo longer before their eyes the eagle is chained to a rock in the sea he no long er threatens the! carrion crows that caw about"the rotten carcase of tyranny. As might be expected, theses potentates who, in this enlightened age, don't wait for a dispensation from the Pope, to break their promises, not only refuse to comply with their " sacreU words " but actually prose rcute certain Vprinters, and burn certain boks, which have the unparalleled impu dence treasonably to insist upon their keep ing their promises. The people, who served these shuffling Lord's anointed, Oonsider this prosecuting of printers and burning of books an aggravation of the case, and begin to talk about liberty and other "impious" things, as a certain great personage called them. Uport this, the potentates aforesaid raise an additional army to 6i protect" the country, as the Courier calls it, and saddle the people with the additional cost of maintaining it ; which is but just, since every ass ought to ;buy his own collar. Then they decree I that those foolish potentates who have I weakly complied with their promises and j jiven a representative government to their j people, shall take it ba&k again, as it is setting a bad example to their neighbors. Then they conjure up conspiracies against kings and religion, one and the same thing of course, and, under these and the like pretexts, deprive the white people of the little liberty even of drinking cofiee and sriloking tobacco. To conclude, those who have not a single black slave among them, set them all free, and prohibit the slave trade, having no use for any impor tations, because they possess slaves enough at home. Thus stands the case. The Courier, however, calls these people ft seditious," and their remonstrances " im piety." Let us see how stands the case with the people of England and their rulers. While the former had enough to eat, they contented themselves with petitioning for i reform in Parliament., They had some how or other found out, that they were much more arbitrarily governed under parliamentary corruption, than they ever were under the abuses of kingly preroga tive. In searching for the cause of .this phenomenon they discovered, or fancied they discovered it, in the inequality of representation, under the operation of which an old cobler returned two mem bers of Parliament, & a city, of 100,000 inhabitants, not one. It was naturally supposed, that these representatives of the cobler, being jn a great degree inde pendent of the will of the people at large, would be more apt to consult their own interests than those of the people, and sell their own vote in the house, after c, inarming l ccssiijt ui using lurtC upuu Uldi uuvaiuuj - i r beset the coun- and to prove that an important consti- to remain at the Imperial Palace of Tanlilt le necessitv of tiitional privilege could not be Violated; 15 days, to accustohi him to the rough basis of immemorial, usage.
