SELECTIONS. From the Trenton True American. Our Government is often abused for making bad appointments. Yet those who utter this abuse, know that it can not always be avoided. Recommenda tions are often obtained by men who are both unworthy of and unfit for office and how can any Government, unless it was omniscient, always know which of the Candidates is trust-worthy, and which is not Men of liberal minds would be as ready to make allowance for unavoidable mistakes, as to censure wilful misconduct. But liberality and the leading federalists seem to have shaken hands and parted. They are bent on pulling Republicans down, that they may get up themselves and they are by no means delicate about the means by which they accomplish their ends. The enemies of the Government cal culate on a change- in their favor from the imposition of taxes. We trust they will be disappointed. It cannot be that Americans would rather pay an im mense tribute to Britain than light taxes to their own Government. It cannot be that any Republican would sooner part with his principles than with a small portion of his property to support a just and unavoidable war—There may be one in five thousand base enough so to act, but we would hope not even that proportion. On the contrary we believe many federalists will be convinced that a vigorous war is the only way in which an honourable peace can be obtained and will contribute cheerfully all the means in their power to give energy to the Government in its struggle to main tain the rights and redress the wrongs of the nation. We know of several who have lately declared this to be their opinion and determination and we are deceived if the result of the election does not prove that the People are be coming more united and zealous in the support of their own Government, and in resistance to the usurpation, aggres sion. and injustice of the British^Go vernment. Some Peacemen” lately called on a respectable Farmer in a neighbouring county, and attempted to frighten him by telling him that his share of the new taxes would amount to above a hundred dollars. He replied, that he did not believe it would amount to any thing like that; but if it should, he would pay it cheerfully rather than desert his Governmeat and abandon his conntry men to be plundered, impressed and abused by the British.—Such ought to be the conduct and language of every American. The amount of taxes now laid upon this state to carry on the war, is very little larger than Federalists when in power laid on it when the country was at peace. The amount saved to the people by the Republicans repealing the taxes which Federalists formerly laid on, is gie.ter than all tnat the people would have to pay in taxes for the support of the present war should it last seven years. But instead of seven, it would not probably last more than one, if all parties would unite as they ought to in supporting the Government in carrying it on. Britain would soon be compelled to do us justice; and as soon as that took place, the restoration of free trade and a flourishing revenue would enable us to dispense with the taxes, and also, in a very short time, to pay off all the money which has been or may be bor rowed. The quickest way to get rid of the taxes, is to support the Govern ment in its endeavors to bring Great- Britain to just and honorable terms of peace. Those who clamour the most against taxes, are doing the most to keep them on. Every obstacle thrown in the way of carrying on the war effectually and successfully, tends to put off peace to a more distant day, and consequently to make taxes the longer necessary. There is no truth more certain than this. If a party ©f travellers were attacked by a band of robbers, which would be the most honorable, to submit without a struggle, or to resist while they were able Certainly the latter.—And if they agreed on the latter, which would be the best policy, for all to unite in resist ance of the highwaymen, or for a fiart to refuse to fight, and to discourage the rest as much as possible To unite, would unquestionably be the wisest. It js just as honorable ior the Americans to resist the British,as for the travellers to resist the robbers And it is just as foolish in the Peacemen” to withhold their aid from the war, as it would be for a part ol the travellers to refuse to assist m repulsing the highwaymen. In either case, Union and Vigor are the best policy. Federalists speak of making peaces as if it was an easy matter. But they do nqt believe what they say. 1 hey know better. They know that onr Govern ment is dispostd to peace, and tried all they could to preserve it before war was declared. They know that it has made several offers ol peace since the war cojnifiencid, on terms which no sensi ble and honest man can say were un- Tvasanable. They know, too, that Great- Britam, who dragged us into the war by hei injustice, outrages and insults, has rejected all the offers we hays made. And they must believe, that Great- Britaie will not make peace, until she is forced to it; because if she would she might have done it before. How knavish it is, then, to endeavor to per suade the people that our Government might make peace if they would, when they know it cannot—when they know that the British Government is solely io blame for occasioning and continuing the Wc T. The idea that peace can be restored by electing peacemen’ to the Legisla ture, is so absurd that no man of sense can entertain it for a moment. If every member was a peaceman,’ it could have no effect that way. The General Government has the authority and the means to carry on the war, and a vast majority of the people will support it in carrying it on until the freedom of our commerce and the security of our seamen is obtained. Electing peace men’ can have no other effect than to encourage the enemy in the belief that wc are a divided people, and can be conquered if he perseveres; and thus lengthen out the war, and increase the expense of blood and treasure. This will be the case, doubt it who may The British know how our elections go on almost as well as we do; and if they see us distracted among ourselves, and a large body in favor of submitting to their demands, does it not seem reason able that it will encourage them to con tinue the war On the contrary, if they should see seven millions of people all united like a band of brothers in op posing their unjust pretensions at the risk of life and property, is it not likely they would give up the contest I ap peal to common sense. Last fall, Federalists promised us peace in a few weeks if we would elect them to the Legislature. They were elected. Did they bring about peace Every one knows they did not. And they knew beforehand they could not, as well -.s they know it now But they wanted the government of the stat received 1 80 lashes each, oi 720 stripe and were then put in irons 3 months this was in April, 1812—without >emg even accused of the entne of being Kwo lishmen, at a time when it has been u blushingly asserted the practice hi been suspended.
