For only the Name of Liberty is contended for by the Multitude, are the Minifters of Licentioufnefs; and by the Nobles, who are the Is of Slavery. Their Views are to fhake off Cbedience to the Laws Subordination. MACHIAVEL. ics and patriotifm are fubjects fo ch in fafhion at prefent, that not to ven fome little attention to them may ght an argument of ftupidity It is forth while to reafon about the forit is manufactured at the houfe of ablican: But, patriotifin being a moe, we will obtrude a few remarks on aordinary principle. he fake of regularity, we will begin ving, that, as every action and eure of a man has its caufe, we should eavour to find out the motive of the in agitation, and from thence ftamp ate on it. The great motive, the patriotism, when moft fincere and is enthuliafm, and an ardent thirft ry. That is a view adverty cannot mus. In proportion as the patriot is and warm in his complexion, his rs are hearty and genuine; and, as obferved, that the warmer affecthe foul are cooled by the influence edge, of confequence, as the world ually refined upon nature, (though ovation does not deferve the name ment,) patriotism, among other eager has gradually declined in its inAn indifference is frequently the nce of extenfive reflection, and the effort and action. Self-love, with a on lefs meritorious than a defire of owned, has fo far fupplanted it, as permit us to confider any man as till we have proved him, like gold, teft furnace of fuffering advertity. patriot is one who will lofe a real an imaginary one. Glory is his purfuit of that he will refign up selt bleflings in the estimation of fouls, and fee, in conicious inteCCCXX, VOL. XLVI. grity and honour, all the happiness earth can promife. He will regard his country as his nearest relation, and renounce all other confanguinity when put in competition with it. Patriotifm, under all these disadvantages, has no great allurements to a worldly mind. It is at belt but a lottery, and fuch an one as very few amongst us will venture to stake their fortunes in. Whoever imbarks in fuch undertakings, though confcious of his own integrity and refolution, has a fickle Judge of his character in the body of the nation; fome of whom, influenced by private confiderations of intereft, or perfonal diflike, and others, through blindness and ignorance, will not always reward and punish according to the directions of virtue and juftice. When fuch beings as patriots are really found, they are to be efteemed the choiceft gifts of Hea ven, and cherished with unusual care. In cafes and questions of this fort, if we would fearch out a complete character, experience of the individual in queftion will alone inform us; and experience must be the refult of time, which is the only touchftone of perfeverance, that primary ingredient of patriotifm. Circumftanced as we are, we must content ourfelves with the conviction of fools, who, as the Roman historian obferves, are taught only by the event, when no other information can be had, how much foever the pride of our judgments will fuffer thereby; and we must believe no more, and no longer, than we read proofs of profeffions in the actions of our patriot. By the faune principles of reafoning, if the people are wife, the profeffing friend of his country muft patiently wait a while before he can receive his laurels, to crown his endeavours after its good, from a full confidence in his integrity.
