Domestic From tlie " Eiq.viBk.w CT THE LANGUAGE OF TREASON. We have seen with emotions of indig nation that we cannot express, the rrai tcous sentiments of the Editor of the Boston "wKcpertory" of the 26th June. Aye, the 'Editor of that paper is a traitor to the very cre : and it will nni KM ownfault, if he escapes the indignant jus tice of his country. Let him butdare to do what he dares to Jay, and the light ning of the nation must consume him It is not a Fries, ignorant of the very lan guage of the hs ; nor is it a law levy ing a tax on whisky but it is a man in the very heart of Massachusetts, versed in the language, "aware of his haiard," recommendipg" To Trje people of Mas sachusetts " to resist tbe laws of the U nion, to' rebel againstahe constituted au thorities in tneir most solemn appeal to the valour and virtde of the peoole ; and eventually, to dash in pieces the holv ark of the Union of our,, country i.If these overt, acts are attempted ; if thiirnan or any other dare to'nut th irMn!, ble enwrprize into execution, this go-1 the otiictrs tnereox ucwg coromiauuu by the' authority of the.U.

When he goes on to point out to the" ci tizens Df Massachusetts a remedy for all: (he vils, which Ins imagination has cre ated, It is then that the cloven footpeeps forth in all its deformity. " A'qucstion of solernu import (says he) is now toe decided by the people. Will you Second the faction who have pronounced you at war? will you submit to he the Slaves of Bonaparte?" Slaves of Bonaparte ! We swear, by the majesty of truth, that in all ronr communions with the republican par ty, the great as well as the simple, (and we have communed with thousands,) we i -j.l r .i t .nave never met wun one oi ;neni in the most distant manner -ever whisper ed that he would directly or indirectly be the slave of France Or (says John Park,) will you be mtn be.prosper ohs, be free t Choose your destiny There is now no evasion. You have no practicable middle course. You 'must bow to the yoke or brtak it in pieces 'You have before you tie disasters of war, or peaeey tranquility Sc prosperity. In thr months from this jortentous daf, you may be secure in the enjoyment of nap- piness and independence, or you mcy be struggling against a nation whom vou, cannot subdue, whom it would be your ruin to suldue. What then is to bo done ? r Anything cvry thing, not to ne involved in war. tVe'must have na pdt in it " (How can'Massachusctts avoid it without resisting the laws '?) " There is no necessity that we shOuld.--We have but to say the word, and we are'eempt from all'its calamities; lttrvengives us a glorious opportunity to 'resume our long violated rights?'4 (Take thenrout of trie hands of the U. and dissolve the Uni on.) " We have only to say wc cyten-; joywhatwasso long been denied us oyr freedom, ourcommerce, our prosperity,' our tranquility, and vrevhall enjoy them. .Let us be true to ourselves, and our path is bright and clear. We have phy sioal force on our side, so decidedly, that force will be unnecessary, and tranquili ty may be Tendered -secure. Let us have order, good civil government, en couragement to industry, security to pro perty. Let the People see that though forsaken, or rather cruelly persecuted by our nauonal government, we have a rock ot salvaflon, under -God, in the Ex ccuive add legislature of Massachetts If the Senate are abandoned, let 4 di-' rect appeal be made to the people, and) a COrresponuciiuc cjcctautiaiicu imu-uui. the State, to ensure concert, Jirmnesl & promptitude?' . Is there a man who can mistake these allusions ? That threats, re sistance, rebellion and civil war are to be the resources of the people ot Mas-" sachusetts ? And does this miscreant dare to wish tle blood of his fellow citizens to flow in civil war ? But that no doubt may cover his designs, he soon after tolls the people nqt to wait for the oaly constitutional means of changing measures, a change of min ; for say3 he, u the changes in politic attharacters, to which some so sanguinely look, as the mode of relief on which we ' ought to re ly, may not be so easily effected." No we will not believe that ther great body, or even any considerable propor tion of the People of Massachusetts,will countenance theke designs. The Fede ralists of that State are too much devoted to the ark of our union to abandon it on such grounds. But, if such an infatua tion should unfortunately seize on them if the shade of Washington should m vain frown on them, throhis farewell ad dress if all their lore "of order should be forgotten, the republic must be saved the energy of the government must be tested ; and the panic which repeal ed the Embargo, must not be permitted to extinguish the war. If there is any one principle more sa cred in a Republic than another, it is this that the low, must ruU; and the majority, constitutionally chosen, must make that law. The federalists, of the south, to whose political spirit snce the war we bow with respect, would be the very first, if necessary, to put down a traitorous opposition to that law.
