of the proud temple of North American freedom. Already are the Scribblers un- der the regal governments of Europe, from the provincial chroniclers on our own bor- ders, to those of greater might at home ,dri- wing their quills at our expense. Even Mir. Atkinson, in the able political pamphlet which we are reviewing, cannot suppress the delight with which his bosom is thrilled in the anticipation that the time is not dis tant, with our black population, our slave ry and our hatred of England, we shall be blown into thousand factions, and sever ed into thousand parcels. And although we hope there can be no substantial grounds for these anticipations of our malicious foes, yet, is it creditable for us to allow them even the slightest foundation for their sneers Do we not, in fact, contribute materially to strengthen the cause of des- potism abroad, by the disreputable con- duct of our brawling demagogues at home

 When the turbulent Gov. Troup issues his combustible and rebellious bulletins to the public and when his militia Generals, in imitation of their fiery chief, order their scattered regiments to 'stand by their arms" in opposition to the constituted au- thorities of the nation, our transatlantic maligners have not the means of know ing but, that the redoubtable chieftain is actually as powerful, and as terrible, as he believes himself to be-. And when the Virginians toast the "dagger of Brutus,' and talk of civil war, blood, and dissolu- ton of the union, and threaten us with all the countless horrors of revolution, be- cause they cannot always have the making of President themselves, it is but natural that the enemies of our republic should believe them in earnest nor are we quite sure that many of them are not. It is to be feared there are men high in the ranks of the opposition, who, if no other means were left for the accomplishment of their ambitious designs, would not hesitate mo- ment to unsheath the sword, and light up the torch of that most dreadful of all calan,- ities, civil war.-N.
