Awful ss nuiy appear, Vii, mjjeountry men, : sad picture whijeh our country at rtu exhibits. (While engaged in r with the greatrat maritime pow tr on earth, whose means of annoy lacc.ephouadeJ, and whose de-e-ur-a to subdue us is manifest difclethis foe isinfesuog our and daily making his incen-in;ursons--whosc every , step narked tvitn deflation, rapine and f polluting even the sanctuary of r ad ; xvc scd a LeisUtivc as. semblp , whose duty it is to nerve the public arm, and give strength and vi gor to its measures, coolly deliberat Jog upon their accursed plans of se vering the states, and withholding the aid from the general, government w hi h their duty, as a constituent part of the Union, strictly requires them to yield. We see them in open vio lat;on of their duty, and regardless of the welfare of their country, steadily pursuing a course of measures, tend ing directly to the subversion of or der ; and which, if not checked in their early stages, will ultimately o verthrow or present form of govern ment, and perhaps briug us to the degrading condition from which the revolution extricated us slaves to Britain. j With these facts before oar eyes, iisit not criminal, nit not madness in the extreme, longer to indulge in a state of security, and calmly await .t J r ! w r inc aesirucuon oi our uoerties r it ever there was a time that called for the united voice of virtue and patri. ctism, to array itielf against treason and rebellion, that time has arrived. Surdv then it behoves all, who are not willing to forego the blessings and privileges which, uuder a well admi nistered government, they have ibus far enjoyed, to be alert and vigilant. The people of New-England are par ticularly called upon to set their fa ces against a system of measures which, from trteir nature and tenden cy, may, and inevitably will, over throw the Constitution, and produce onfusion and anarchy. They are called upon as men- is freemen solemnly to protest against the prose cution of measures so openly repug nant to the dearest interests of their country ; and by their united voice to show these mad projectors that there is yet virtue and potriotism e oouch in the country to defend it. Things have rather a suspicious appearance, io the capital of our sister arate. The name of a Convention seems to have an "awful squinting9 towards French Influence We do not think that any body of men, not under the immediate iuflueace of France, would be guilty of calling by the name of Convention, a meeting of Delegates, for any purpose whate ver, not even one for organizing re bel ion. It is possible that the honor and advantage of having the New Eng land ptrliaments in one of our capi tals, may have been held out to our Connecticut Federalists as an induce ment to join hands with the Legisla ture of Massachusetts. . If our Le gislature takes the bait, they may comfort themselves with the recol lection, that they are not the first per sons on record into whom the De vil has entered after a tip has been given them. The arch Hebel Juds Iscariot, will probably occur to the recollection of most of our readers We little wonder at the selection of cur city by the " Boston Rebels, as the place proper for the first session of the Parliament of New-England. Montreal would have been much nearer the representative Of the 'Afe je'sty of England well as. a much more proper place for the 'delibera tions of the ' Boston tfcBcl"andhia Henryite coacutors'j'vyll.AirSV.

They ought 'to know what the agents ' of the state authorities are doinff, particularly in I Jiat part of our srite still occupied by t he enemy ; We have been fivbred by a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, with an extract of a let ter written to Governor Strong, by nerm Moses Adams, and now pre sent it to the public.

" As far as I have iad an opportuni ty to kn jw, the conduct of the enemy has been most, magnanimous . towards us, where ours has been honorable to wards them. But 1 do not pretend to know all their conduct. In conversation they profess a h;gb rej; rd for. Bo i ton, a desire of peace, and appear to ex pect that som thing will be dons fa vorable to both countries, by our Ge neral Court at their next session, and Heaven grant that they may not be uhjuucu. rc l ire our tcu iirr more than ewr. The thought of being separated fiom the government "f our lainers, is areaaiuu massacnusetts is great and powciful : she stands at the head cf he N.

Frwn the Baltimore Patriot. fIuLT FINDING. ; To find fault, is the easiest thing in nature. He can learnedly criti cise, who has no geniu to create. He can tumble down, who never had the presumption to think of erecting. Thus it is with an abandoned opposi tion iu this country. Nothing, exc- cu ed by the administration is right in their judgment ; yet, tither for want of judgment or disposition, thev; never think it worthwhile td suggest phns for experiment. They admit, that Great Britain must now be fought but of her absurd and preposterous pretensions ; yet evcrv pra.ticable pi in suggested by the administration for producing so desirable a result, is scouted at, either as not meeting their profound views, or because ex perimental unconstitutional I . . j If money, the sinew of war, is to be raised by taxation, the people are called upon to grumble oppresstoc! If taxes are not laid ; they immediately turn about and enquire why measures ae not taken to strengthen the credit of government by providing for the extinguishment of the interest on the public, debt ? Ii men are wanted, and the militia are called out for the de fence and protection of their homes ; they ask, why are not the ranks of ou: 'armies filled with regulars! If high bounties and great wages, the only in ducements for Americans to enter the regular army, are help they cry out again, Oh, what an impro vident, what a prodigal administra tionl?' and calculate the cost of the war with mathematical nicety, from one minute up to twenty. years; and even tell hoif manv wvggqns the spe cie would fill, and how many; horses it would uke to draw the sum expend ed for any given time t ; Every man in the habit of reading the opposition, prints, roust have no ticed these contradictions and strange inconsistencles-i-and jre ask; is the present a time for such: contemptible cavilling Ought not ittery eye, heart end hand in the nation, to be, directed to a single poict-he. mode best calculated to anhoy the foe ? He has tnreattned'ouri we knqw? where be is tenryt'jpda coramuntty of iteltng and union of def tion, in a coin moo 4cus, would soon convince that enemy, that he hadmis- taken thecharacter and strength of the American people. But union is too much to ask of the i opposition pitted against the admin istration, they are resolved to fight the bout Sot place and power, let the con-, sequences be ever so disastrous. -j The, too, talk of union but it is re- quired that the country unite with a faction, that the majority yuld obe dience to the minority- which never can be the case without a radical change in the form of our govern mentand does not this fact betray the point to which their wishes tend? Suppose,for their accommodation, Mr. Madison should resign hU office, and another Republican Cief Magistrate be elected, as would be the case at the present moment wod FDiitAL I M THROW ITS WEIGHT INTO THE national scale i Would the lea ders of opposition cease their clamor t Would they endeavor to- bind up the wcunds which nartv animosity ha J 11 ss. . .

No I they would do no such thing they have no heart but tor self. x heir pretfosions .are as preposterous as those set forth by the enemy, as sine qua nous of peace 1 he country has claima i o them and they pretend to have claims on their country but their pretensions are illegal and un founded and we are convinced, tha: the ooe and the other Will be disre gard d, and our country saved, and X)ur rights preserved, without yielding a point to our foreign enemy, or sa crificing any thing to an unreasonable and unnaturjlrjomestic faction.
