It must afford all friends to the reign of the law and good government, the highest satisfaction to find the disposition of the people generally so favorable to their existence and determined in supporting them. The patriotic exertions of the Governor of Pennsylvania, are above all praise, and the Citizens of that state, as well as the other states from which the militia have been drafted, turned out with an alacrity hardly to be expected, when the service is considered. "The Insurgents we hope, will be induced either by fear, or a sense of error, to seek an accommodation-and thereby avert the horrors of domestic carnage-and a civil war. But they must be convinced from the readiness of the militia to march against them, that all attempts to overturn or innovate on the powers of a government based on the hearts of the people, will be impotent, as
" Tube behind tube eternal guards shall keep,
" Whilft in their wombs ten thousand thunders sleep,
To blast such miscreants."
