They m';an to suppress all opposition to the measures of the administration; and they mean to put down the Cl^r- gv first, for reasons which will be exhibited hereafter, Wliere we are not allowed to think for ourselves, and express our opinions, there is no vestige of lib- erty left us. We may as well live under the admin- istration of the Grand ^eigni^r, or the tyrant of France, as under a government which, though called republican, does not admit to the citizen the ireedum of • -pinion and of... speech. I'he Clergy knew before this tiir. E, that civil gov- ernment was ordained of God, and that whosoever resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God^, They have'considered their duty in this respect. 1 hey believe it is their duty to obeyjhe laws, and to lead peaceable and quiet lives, in all godliness and honts- ty. Let the community judge (for the Clergy act in the view of the cr-mmunity) whether they d ^ not obey the laws of ihe land. Do tiuy not demean themselves as peaceable and quiet citizens?
