By the antifederal prints, any endeavours to countenance a supreme law of the land, in favor of peace and prosperity, is an attempt to bully Congress—while indecent remonstrances, in opposition to all law, are denominated the glorious spirit of 1776.
It is said in the Aurora of this morning, that "all who do not sign the petition in this city in favor of the treaty, must be considered as opposed to it." Mr. Bache must then admit, that all who have not signed the petitions against the treaty are in favor of it: it is a bad rule which will not work both ways.
Mr. Goodhue, in his speech yesterday, asserted that the treaty with Great-Britain contained concessions in favour of the United States which he had never made to any other country—advantages which she had not conferred even on her own citizens, and for which the United States had not given up one iota.
