Having pointed out in the preceding number, the sources from which all the evil and disgrace, the disquietude and the turbulence, the servility to foreign nations, and the asperity to our own, proceeds; its causes, and its purposes; we shall now descend to a more special and distinct application of the general principles. If we have anything to complain of for which we cannot obtain redress or restitution by negotiation from any foreign nation, we have means within ourselves that are precious, and the most effective for the ends for which civil society is instituted, that is the promotion of the happiness of the whole, or of a greater number. No man is so well able to know the blessings of freedom such as we enjoy as the farmer. The farmers, and those who acquire support from labor, compose seventeen twentieths of our population—the will of the majority being the sovereign power, that policy which secures the happiness of that majority, must prevail—every other interest must be but subordinate to the promotion and security of that happiness. But it is a fraction of the population, nay, a decimal part of that fraction, which is clamorous for war and extravagance, and which encourages foreign influence and vilification of our government; it is the minority attempting to usurp the power of the majority, and to sacrifice the 17 parts to perhaps a tenth of the remaining three parts—take it this way— The farming and industrious part, or 17-20ths is 5,100,000 The mercantile part, 3 20ths, 900,000 Total, 6,000,000 Of the 6,000, perhaps there is not more than a fiftieth, that is not as sincerely attached to the United States prosperity as the great majority; but it is the miserable fraction, of perhaps three or six thousand persons that disturb the nation and encourage the intrigues, and seek to provoke the hostility of foreign nations. The happiness of the nation then is its policy, not the wishes of a vicious fraction of the population. To us the choice between an internal war and a total cessation of intercourse with any nation, would not occupy a moment’s deliberation with any man of sense. Neither will the majority of the people who are the sovereigns of this country, ever consider upon a choice between the limitation of commerce and the preservation of peace and liberty and independence, if the question should arise. At this time, therefore, when the agents of a foreign nation are more virulent against our government in proportion to the despair excited by the failures that have befallen Europe; when, as if envious of our prosperity, angry that we have not shared the common fate of all these nations which conspired against the independence of another—when neither the frustration of corruption here nor humiliation in the other hemisphere has taught the infatuated adherents of England, even ordinary discretion—when the common observance of that gracious prudence, which renders even adversity and disappointment, entitled to commiseration—when no considerations can secure for our government or our policy, an exemption from the opprobrium of presses either directly hired or indirectly patronized and enriched for their hostility to our government and our political interests; when they affect to hold our terms of accommodation to our ministers in Europe, and are fomenting and upholding conspiracy in the bosom of our land; the yeomen of the country, who though they make no noise, yet make and give the law, when their voices are required; it is incumbent upon them—and the press to inform them, and to guard them against the insidious and against open assailants. Ao These papers are intended for this purpose. Pose to lay bare the roots of disaffection, and to designate the only policy—and the only rules of judgment which apply to our institutions and our national situation. This must not be left to the wayside—we have no differences nor complaints to make against any European nation, but Spain and Great Britain. The bribery of our citizens by Spain, has been demonstrated in Kentucky, in the persons of judges on the bench of justice and senators in the senate. Our territorial disputes, are in the hands of our government; and the intriguing incendiary Yrujo, who may be considered as the instrument of all the conspiracies against the United States for years past, has been banished from all intercourse with our government, and deservedly disgraced in the eyes of the world. No cubation with France we have no quarrel nor cause of complaint, unless such as is founded on the interruptions of a trade carried on illicitly to a revolted colony, in defiance of the law of nations and of our own laws. With England we have had disputes with little intermission from the peace of 1783: and although specific promises were held out to our ministers at London, in consequence of the non-importation law, we cannot conclude upon any certainty of a successful issue to the negotiation, unless the fate of the continent and the defeat of Bure’s conspiracy, by teaching England that she is vulnerable and that her intrigues are eternally baffled, induces her at length to a settlement with justice towards the only nation in the world which is not from necessity now in hostility against her. The Spanish intrigues have been over altered, and exploded—The Spanish calumniator is completely dubbed, he suspended his infamous labors. The British alone and their emissaries continue to assail our government—and from them alone is there any injury or danger to be apprehended. Did not the undeviating conduct of Britain for fifteen years, demonstrate her determination to destroy the happiness of the United States, the assertions of her second Cobbett, Cullen of New York, would be a convincing proof of it—we cannot lose sight of it,—That man has openly avowed, that had it not been for the battle of Austerlitz, Britain intended to have commenced hostility against this country—or rather in the mild language of British hypocrisy, “so bold and resolute in the alliance of Austria, Russia and Prussia, she was adopting towards the United States, principles unknown in the law of nations.”—Strip this paragraph from the canting of British pomposity, and the plain English is—Britain intended to commence war in disguise—and the pamphlet of that name was the manifesto of supendous piracy and tyranny. The battle of Austerlitz prevented the principles of that manifesto from being acted upon—but we will go back, and endeavor to state the matter in as clear a manner as practicable. We believe there is not an American who really thinks, leaving even the morality out of sight, that war would be advantageous to the United States, even with any nation. Peace is the interest of the farmer, and of the reasonable merchant also. The language of the Tories and British agents for fifteen years past, has been, go to war. Why do they say so? War, they know, would be embarrassing—it might lead to the ruin of our liberties—for that reason, they urge on war, even with any nation. Do the British take our ships—go to war with Britain. Do the French take our ships—go to war with France. Do the Spaniards obstruct our navigation—go to war with Spain. Go to war with the Barbary states. Go to war with the whole world. When you take our merchants individually, their advice is so various and comprehensive, that the United States would be at war with all the world if it were to be pursued—someone or the other has some fancied cause of aggression—someone or other would find it with the whole universe. But from what cause do a great portion of those complaints even against Britain for the capture of vessels on the high seas originate? Does it originate in the actual natural trade of the produce of the United States? No! Are vessels laden with flour, or pork, or corn, or beef seized? — No! Does Britain take vessels laden with cotton, or tobacco, or timber? — No! How many merchants are there whose cargoes to Europe consist of coffees, or sugars, or the productions of other nations, that escape safe, and whose papers are regular? Whose are those vessels which are chiefly taken? In perhaps six out of ten cases, those who carry false papers. Merchants, adventurers, who come here like birds of passage during the commercial heat of war—chiefly British, and French, and Scotch speculators—who bring no affection, leave behind no gratitude, and carry away wealth, for which they repay our country with reproaches and slander.
