What eastern horror, aristocratical vanity, watching none but self the wrong to love in power, the true principles of government involved in nonsense, incomprehensible complexities, ambiguous phraseology, continuing by tradition what corrupted mothers had done, an undiscoverable chimera, an eternal mystery of darkness, to the fools it makes a ruinous garb of dark corruption, an impassable stumbling block of crime and sin involved in unfathomable ignorance overwhelming dust and ashes for the civil pomp of false greatness only of a few rogues, an aristocratical hell, the whole of it a proud mass of sin and folly, awful inconsistency! imposing upon the rights of man, by law really lies only altered or amended for worse, again and again altered for worse, and no end to be found but war, for no rule aristocrary goes by, it only rolls forward with increasing iniquity from the folly with which it begun to burst by its own entangled extremes of darkness kept up but for robbery and entirely upon its incomprehensible torrent of tottering confusion and war.

Full of rivalship, caprice and foul precepts, irritating the adult instead of teaching youth in the way it should go; forming ignorance into tools, and iron into swords, bewildering lost man already in the mud, far deeper in the mire than the author of wrong comprehends. Little rogues looking up to greater, they to great some body, mighty some body greater yet, leaving none to think for themselves, and the truth never to be found in all the highest ranks of aristocracy; the head devil himself knows nothing, the whole posse amounts but to a rotten mass of blasphemy and folly, under yokes of greater pressure than the links of their own chain can bear, binding all together the whole society a dependant mass of miseries, blind leading the blind, and no way to get out, the knot never to untie that fools can unfetter till providential light bursts the gloom by holy war, no easier than the helpless habit of the left hand can immediately become powerful like the right, or the habit of tobacco chewing or rum drinking be omitted. Thus goes ahead inconsiderate aristocrat, wanting all the world, can keep none of it; snug in the foul channel of hereditary demagogues, and kings of shame all dying off as their

time comes, leaving their monopolized gulph of robbery a hell to the ruin of future; till bursting from its swelling extreme by holy war.

All human usurpations like those of earthly eruptions, are at last overcome by divine nature. The devil provided with all the partial means of man, by the flattering temptations of man, to make property of each other, gradually rises even a thousand years to overcome his opponent, at last all his false royal works, with his much assisted human flesh and treasure, bursts before the wrath of divine vengeance. The long train of human strife; of the few to rise royal masters over the rest; like rising levity from the earth to the formation of clouds, then bursting from the swelling extremes, after the campaign of celestial commotion, comes the sweet calm; human extreme by war and division burst and brings a calm of union, and the people become harmonized in peace, for their yokes are off; but which endures only till the sly aristocrats, pettyfoggers or demagogues of folly, contrary to divine equality have so far readvanced in their unseen political robbery, as to emanate to division and war their new stock of wrong got property and power, of overgrown greedy imbecility, shall burst forth in a new campaign of war. Thus goes the aristocratical world of wrong from generation to generation; aristocracy upon aristocracy; millions of lies enacted and re-enacted for laws, altered amended and renewed for the end of liars, rebellious nonsense perpetually to devolve on posterity; that a new set of fope can wallow in confusion, as hogs in the mire, haughty nobles heaping up a false worded cloud of darkness, a covering to truth and delusive to ignorance, from the first breathing of black aristocracy a darkness of dreadful wrong: while the simple right way was ever latent, involved in the midst of it like insects in the webs of spiders; money wickedly horded up in wrong hands forms the entangled chains of aristocracy; the devil's net in which to fetter innocent souls from the enjoyment of liberty; power of lies and money already ravaged within the troubling claws of aristocracy, like the drowning man catching at every straw, endeavours to hold its own by more lies and more money, till the greatest pow

er of truth and conquering vengeance, rushing from a uniting people, excited to action by the yoke of oppression, in the common cause of all their liberties; shall burst the gloom of aristocracy by holy war.

Did the man of divine wisdom, ever teach the true principles of government in parliament unless imprisoned as Lord Bacon was in England, who paid a fine of four hundred thousand livres, because he was surrounded by devouring devils. Did the republicans ever rise on the throne of equity, from a people of hampered ignorance, but by a revolution or dissention, from the aristocratical cities of bondage, to the forest of wilds, for commencing society anew, and yet the aristocrat close to his heels.

To the great Columbus, the great Washington, all the world are indebted.

Conquered ignorance beckons from the millennium door, no deluge nor the sword of Alexander, carries the beam of reformation, than perforates for its entrance.

When civilians survey from Alpha, the whole ground of government; the partial politician drops into shameful insignificance.

When tillers trace out their inherent rights of government, from the first man and governor, moralists are astonished, angry with themselves, to behold from the light mediated for the divine equality of all, their millions of civil enemies thickly surrounding in forbidden dominion. With what vengeance, all hands repel their invading rebels, and reinstate their long lost rights, to the liberty of governing themselves equally.

The first moralist Adam, was 'moral king and governor of so much tillable dominion only-as conformed with moral power; he was instated from the same dust of which he had a moral right of the undoubted government of God; to govern certain land and tenables, whence himself became the lawful possessor and user, whereon to have sufficient dominion, for crowning the necessary wants of monarchical self and family.

Except our Saviour our illustrious Washington, like the proud and ambitious leader of every age, Adam by knuckling to this world's black pride the vain curiosities of the inconsiderate mind, that self was all,

and all but self nothing; ambitious Adam great in his own conceit, did not observe that his selfish greatness was proportionably small; as he conceited greater than God, he on deliberation was involved in shame, found when awakened from his rebellious trance to the sense of his duty, that he had fallen from his high throne of moral greatness, whereon his maker placed him; to the low civility of the partial few, instating the civil law of disobedience to the rest of posterity; mounting high on the proud throne of rebellion all the civil kings of the globe; all following the examples of a guilty father, as does America her rebellious mother; gathering down the broad road of iniquity, the dark sins of beginning pride, like the rolling snow ball, to burst from the swelling extreme of evil as kingdoms rise and fall; to continue the civil kings rebellious dominions, kingdom's fields filled with the black sin of haughty ignorance; till through the spark of light and liberty, beaming forth from the redeeming mediation of our assigned king of heaven, to unite the world in defiance of all the kings of earth; finally to restore from the light of wisdom, those moral rights lost with Adam still to exist in divine obedience, with that posterity which seeks and finds them.

Adam, while truly moral, in the uprightness of his maker; shall I say superior to a Washington, wanted no divinity, but when met, he lost his moral character, and acted from the partial impulse of civil liberty.Hence the necessity of a mediator, to act, not only between the first parts gone astray; but to interpose reconciliation between all parts of the lost human family; that union and wisdom, in humble obedience, shall return with the never failing sweets of a beautiful millennium.

Nothing else than the humiliation of the few; that is, a removal of that black pride of aristocrats, grown out of vain ambition to supersede their neighbours, in the dark things of the devil; that is, things not their own; can restore us to our equal inherent rights.

Where can we find the purity of man, than begin where God begun to make him? To live among the proud sarcasms of rebellious nonsense, our Saviour

Bould not nor could any uncalumniated who stooped to assist the weak-where then, has the honest wise a shelter, but in that divine science, hinted at by the persevering bravery of our victorious king of heaven; who feared not the face of all haughty clay, but died on the cross of rebels, rather than yield the point of salvation, to the proud civilian of eternal hell.

Adam, and the aristocrats of all the nations of his posterity; have by vain pride and ambition, fell over. the bounds of right, trespassing on that not their own, to ignominious shame and misery; and all from the dictates of present appearing interest and inconsiderate wants, always transient and curious to ambitious fools; the enly interest by which the short lived aristocrat, is forever actuated; the end of whose days are never known, in regard to the cause of his action. It is the aristocrat only who loves priority and hates posterity, for the sake of self; thus brings the same blame and misery of his mother, with interest directly over the heads of his own generation and which vain practice that made aristo-cratical fathers proud and powerful, in the dark extremity of cold civility, engenders with the languid heart of the civil regent, perpetually to wrap up in the same pomposity and folly, of him who once had that idle pride of insignificance, till the swelling extreme of human imbecility, shall burst from the gloom of the blackest of all inconsistent nonsense.

To provide for the equal rights of all posterity, and disdain the evil practices of black priority; as did our heavenly Saviour, free from war and trouble, would always be the present.

But to do as our mother had done; great and pompous royal master, would be my loyal self; is forever the study of the aristocrat. To look over the ancient scenes of sin and misery, for guide to go forward; is to borrow trouble; to go forward by experience is to shun that iniquity close to our heels.

All men are actuated by interst proximate or ever so remote, but future interest is the only real interest of man; the influence of our Saviour upon posterity is great; he had no other interest than futurity, though seemingly imperceptible, every man has in his divinity
