perceive that' the crisis is pregnant
with the events on which the -future

cites the solicitudes of its friends and
encourages the hopes of its enemies.
limes of peace and tranquility are,
not the times to test the stability of a
government ; it must be enabled to
withstand the shock of war and na
tional calamity. This is the first
war in which our nation Has been se
riously engaged since the adoption of
our federal constitution, and unfortu
nately for us!, it is with a nation who
is the enemv of our independence, of
our freedom of cur government, and
of our prosperity ;and between whom
nd many of our citizens thereare
strong connections, and deep rooted
atachmentj " The crisis loudly calls
on every virtuous citizen to explode
foreign attachments, to stifle domestic,
dissentions dnd party .animosities, to
rally round the standard of his coun
try, and to give a firm support to the j
government It is no time to in-
du'ge personal animosities and pir

It m?y be proper, gentlemen, to
observe, that the foregoing observa

whose fault" it is If the star of peace
does not nse as soon as the People
wish it, tohvhom will they ascribe
the delay f They will trace it in
some degree to the enemy but in

uires cannot fail to buoy up the wish
es of our enemy for a dissolution of the
nion t ;
The mep who lead this desperate
faction are! on the eve of their fate, rf.
they dare to do what they dare to say.
Their words squint at resistance, re. j
bcllion and treason let theni but act
upon these principles, aodvthey will
hang between heaven and dearth as
traitors apd rebels;. It" is no longer
a question between the Republican &
Federal party ; between this sect, and
that ; but it is a question between go.
vernment and rebellion ; bttween the
Union and the Traitor. No man
can hesitate as tox the side he will
support. ( .V. .
Does the reader require proofs of
these, positions ? What will, he. say
to Harrison Gray Otis'slate resolution
about Martin Chittenden ? The foU

than one would have expected : ;-;
The late act ofthe national government
interuictmg the trade coastwise, between
dinerent parts of tbeame state, as well as
between the states resectively and with all
toreig-n nations, contains provisions, of such
a character as makes it worthy of an inquiry,
whether any measures can be property a
dopted by thia governmentj which would
be likely to induce Congress to repeal them,
or t? amend them in such a manner as to
render their constitutionality lejss qestiona
blc?" . , "
But the following, paragraph from
the Reply of the House of Represen
tatives of Massachusetts breathes a
more inflamed and rebellious lan
guage:
With these impressions, we areryder
a solemn conviction that the time has' arrive
ed. in which-it'ia-incumbent on the people
of this state, to decide whether iheze burdens
arenot too erievaus toe oorne and to pre
pare themselves, for the great duty of pro
tecting, by their own vigor, their unaliena-
nie ngnis, ana or securing tor taemseives at
