"GILBERT & DEAN, Brokers. "EXCHANGE COFFEE HOUSE, Boston, April 12.”

The following advertisement appeared in the Boston Gazette, Aril 14, 1814:

"THE LOAN.

"Subscriptions will be received through the the agency of the subscriber till the 25th inst., inclusive.

"To avoid the inconvenience of personal appearance to subscribe, applications in writing will be received from any part of the state.

All the business shall be transacted, and certificates delivered to the subscribers, without expense.

"JESSE PUTNAM."

Upon which the Boston Gazette of the same date remarked as follows:

"How degraded must our Government be, even in their own eyes, when they resort to such tricks to obtain money, which a common Jew broker would be ashamed of! They must be well acquainted with the fabric of the men who are to loan them money, when they, offer, that if they will have the goodness to do it, their names shall not be exposed to the world! * * * Perhaps monied men may be bribed by the high interest that is offered, but if they withhold their aid, and so force the Government into a peace, will not their capital be better employed, if engaged in trade?

AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY.

We regret that we have not ample room for the statistics before us, all going to show that the Federals of Boston, not only combined to make a run on the banks of New York, Pennsylvania, and the Southern states, and draw out the specie from their vaults, with a view to create a panic, and destroy the value of their currency, but they actually engaged openly in the smuggling trade, bought and sold British stocks and bills openly in State street-hoarded the specie drawn from loyal banks and sent it off to England, via. Canada, to purchase contraband goods and bills. So bold had these traitors become in their treasonable and illicit conduct, that on the 16th of December, 1814, the following advertisement appeared in the Boston Daily Advertiser:

"BRITISH GOVERNMENT BILLS FOR SALE.

[blocks in formation]

"By CHA'S W. GREEN, No. 14, India Wharf." This illicit intercourse with the public enemy was strictly prohibited by Acts of Congress of 1781 and 1782.

These bills were constantly bought and sold in the Boston market. The Federalists kept up a line of communication with Quebec, to which place they exported specie, and from which place they brought back British bills, which they forwarded to England to purchase contraband goods with, and so universal was the sentiment of resistance to the General Government, in Massachusetts, and so little respect was there existing for the Union, that this illicit and treasonable intercourse was kept up with the public enemy, all through the war, and the sentiment adverse to it was too weak to risk complaint and exposure. The mement our government gunboats were out of Boston harbor, the Federalists would hoist their signal Blue Lights, and the British merchantmen that continually hovered about the Massachusetts coast, would come in, deliver their contraband cargo, receive specie and British bills in exchange, and return for another cargo. Says Mr. CAREY:

But in his reply to the Ohio and Albany committees, he is bound to say that Mr. V. had committed no crime, that he was arrested and banished because it was feard he might do something criminal! and Mr. LINCOLN lays down the general rule of "disloyalty," according to the reigning nomenclature, to be the use of a 'but," or "and" or "if" “The Administration, after a long perseveor "saying nothing," when one is standing by, rance in plans to baffle every effort of commerlistening to criticism on the conduct of gov-cial enterprise, had fatally succeeded in their ernmental affairs.

On all occasions, the Federalists, who were dissatisfied with our Government, sought to enlist sectional animosities. From a joint report to the two Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature, Feb. 18, 1814, we extract the following:

[blocks in formation]

APPEALING TO SECTIONAL JEALOUSIES.

This report sets up the propriety, justice and necessity of forcible resistance to the General Government, and then adds:

"The question is not a question of power or right, with this Legislature, but of time or expediency."

And the committee proceed:

"There exists in all parts of this Commonwealth, a fear, and in many, a settled belief, that the cause of foreign and domestic policy, pursued by the government of the United States for several years past, has its foundation in a deliberate intention to impair, if not to destroy that free spirit and exercise of commerce, which, aided by the habits, manners and institutions of our ancestors, and the blessings of Divine Providence, have been the prin

In concluding this part of our subject, we refer the reader to the following notable Federalists, who in various ways have had a hand in fulminating the foregoing treasonable extracts, with hundreds of others, "too numerous to mention": the Brookses, the Strongs, the Otises, and the Quincys, of Boston; the Clarksons, Rays, Ludlows, Remsons, Ogdens, Pearsalls, Lenoxes, Harrisons, Lawrences, McCormicks, Colemans, and Webbs, of New York; the Willings, Francises, Norrises, Biddles, Latimers, Filghmans, Waluses, Ralstones, and Lewises, of Philadelphia; and the Gilmans, the Olivers, the Stewarts, the Howards, the Smiths, the Briggses, the Grahams, and the Coopers, of Baltimore.

The Federals were in power in Congress during the Administration of Gen. WASHINGministration of the elder ADAMS. TON, and completely in power during the AdThen was

their time to put in motion their machinery for a "strong government." The occasion was ripe, says CAREY, and they passed an alien law, calculated, under pretext of military necessity, to eventually keep all foreign born people from participating in our Government affairs. They knew that the "foreign element" when one settled in this country, went with the Democratic party, hence the alien law, under a plausible pretext, to cruse out that element,

and to enable them to hold the reigns of Constitution of the United States, or to resist,

power. /

In the series of measures for their "strong government' was also the sedition law.

Having determined to force the Government into radical extremes, the Federals, knowing their conduct would be criticised, and through criticism and free discussion their purposes thwarted, they set about the means to prevent such discussion, and the following law was intended for that purpose.

THE SEDETION LAW.

And be it further enacted and deted under this act for writing or publishing any clared, That if any person shall be proseculibel as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the defendent upon the trial of the cause to give in evidence in his defense the truth of the matter contained in the publication charged as a libel, [this is milder than the action against shall try the cause, shall have a right to deterVALLANDIGHAM and others] and the jury, who mine the law and the fact, under the direction of the court, as in other cases.

"JULY 17, 1798."

"Sec. 1. Be it enacted, &c., If any persons shall unlawfully combine or conspire together with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the Government of the United States [then as now the Government was the party] which are, or shall be directed by the proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person from holding a place or of fice in or under the Government of the United States, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust, or duty, and if any person or persons with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt, shall have the proposed effect ar not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor and on conviction before any Court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment, during a term not less than six months nor exceeding five years, and further, at the discretion of the Court, may be holden to find sureties for his or their good behaviorment." in such sum and for such time as the said Court may direct.

"Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any person shall write, print, utter or publish, or shall cause or procure to be written, printed, uttered or published, or shall knowingly or willingly aid in writing, printing, uttering or publishing any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the Government (the party in power) of the United States, or either House of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said Government, or either House of the Congress, or the said President, or to bring them or either of them into contempt or disrepute [see Gen. Hascall's order for a copy from this] or to excite against them, or either, or any of them, the hatred of the good people of the United States, or to stir up sedition within the United States, or to excite any unlawful combination therein for opposing or resisting any law oion therein for opposing of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of any such law [this is much milder than the law of indemnity of 1862] or of the powers in him vested by the

OBJECTS OF THE SEDITION LAW. Thus, this law was to continue to the very day the then Federal Administration was to go out of power, and no longer, and if they should succeed in prolonging their power, it could be re-enacted. The reader will see from this its real object, which was to silence all opposition to the Federal Administration, while they proceeded to mould their "strong govern

WE, THE GOVERNMENT IN 1798.

Many other similar cases are recorded, but this will suffice. The Federals of that day, were great sticklers for "sustaining the Government.?" Everything the "Government" chose to propose or do, must be acquiesced in by the people without a murmur, as it is at the present day. They were in power then. We will give a few samples.

"I believe that some of the old French leaven remains against us, and that some vile and degenerate wretches, whom I shall call

These men should be watched.-[Balti-est advocate of confidence read the Alien and more Federal Gazette, July 5, 1798.

The following is pitched in the same key, ang runs in the same vein, of the demands of the ins to-day, and did we not assure the reader, was the preamble to a set of resolutions got up by the Federal majority of the New York Senate, and passed March 5, 1799, would be taken for granted as the "loyal" efferescence of some "Loyal League" of the present day:

"And whereas, Our peace, prosperity and happiness, eminently depend on the preservation of the Union, in order to which a reasonable confidence in the constituted authorities is indispensible, and

Whereas, Every measure calculated to weaken that confidence has a tendency to destroy the usefulness of our public functionaries,"

&c.

This was the Federal response to the murmurings of the people against the infamous Sedition and Alien laws.

And be it remembered, these same Federals just thirteen years afterward, joined in the crusade against MADISON's administration (as we have shown) without so much as pretending to a tangible excuse. They went below the hard pan of infamy to "excite jealousies," &c.

The clergymen of that day, of the leading orders, were mostly Federalists. Their sermons were full of devotion to "the Govern

The men of our choice have more respected the bare suspicions of the President than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of justification, the sacred force of truth, and the forms and substance of law and justice."

Then read the following, and see if it comes within the limits of JEFFERSON's ideas of fair

and candid discussion under a proper "jealousy" to guard and respect constitutional rights, and also let the reader determine in his heart whether the following extracts from Federal malcontents come within the just rule laid down by WEBSTER, as follows:

It does not trust the amiable weaknesses of human nature, and therefore will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits, though benevolence, good intent, and patriotic purposes come along with it,”

DAMN THE GOVERNMENT IN 1814.

This was when his party were in power, and talked of war. This same Reverend preached a sermond at Byfield, April 7, 1814, when his party was out of power, and the country was actually at war with another country, in which he said, p. 18:

"The Israelits became weary of yielding the fruit of their labor to pamper their splendid tyrants. They left their political Moses. They the rod of his miracles? separated. Where is our Moses? Where is Where is our Aaron?

In this connection we give the views of JEFFERSON on a fair and candid discussion of public affairs, written probably in answer to the claim of the New York Federals, and we give the credit to Jefferson, lest the "loyal" men may read the sentiment as pure "copperhead-rected the house." ism."

"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights. Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power.
