Brother I^armers, ' " • T YOUR attention, has doubtlefs, been led to a publication, called '* The Rights of Man," and an Englifhman muft have a v/onderful propenfity to confound his friends and his foes, who does not difcover in that work a ftcady and deli- berate plan to fap and undermine the happinefs and profperity of Great Britain. It appears that Mr Paink has not only- been long actuated by, but that he formerly gloried in avow<. ing, an implacable animofity and rooted hatred to his coun- try ; and that not merely to its Government, but to. its interw en:s,its welfare, its national character, its national honour, itt commercial and naval greatnefs. In violation of his natural allegiance (being born a Britiflv fubjeft) he drained every nerve to encreafe the animofity fubfifting between the Mother- country and her Colonies, and to prevent any accommoditioA ft:om taking place. His pen was conftantJy employed during the American war in widening the breach which all good Eng- liftmien fmcerely deplored ; and in promoting that final fepa- f ation between England and America, which was then con* fidered as an event the moft fatal that could poffibly happen to the former country.. Since that period^ the unexpedted, the unexampled, the daily-increafmgv profperity of Great Bri'tatin, the harmony, the loyalty, and the happinefs of its in- habitants, furnifhed a difappointment too ffevere to be endured with any degree of compofuTe.T-^-^Thefe were fcenes which harrowed op the foul of the envious and malignant Ftend^ iirha, like Ms pr6g4niUP,\i&SLt\ih coui-fe to this Paradife of thd globe, eager to deftrov that felicity which it was Adt in his »atfli?e dthejr tb partaKe ©£ or efldure; ' Stft the ^ofod fenfi* of the Bl^liftiPfedple Is no Hiore.t^*» 4#ii*wiiyiar!f^^# ihaxi thoir vigour ii'^oba HTi(\m^^^t}^$mt t 4 J i -. \ I I ' They are not tft be pcrfuaded to part with the fubilancc for the fhadow.

They are not fo fhort-fighted ^s to believe, that in 1792 the man would coilnfel them to their good, who a few years he- fore was labouring at their deftrudion. And fenfible that hnder the friendly influence of their mofl excellent Conllitu- tion, and of the happiell pofllble form of Government, they not only enjoy the greateft degree of perfonal- freedom, as "well as of perfonal fecurity, that can exift in fociety, but have alCo.rifen, within thefhort fpace of eight years, from penury to aiHuence, and from deep' and accumulated dillrefs to great and unexampled profperity ; rejoiced alfo that the fruits of thefe great and manifold advantages have already begun to appear in an alleviation of their burthens, they are not to be induced to ftop the ciareer of their greatnefs, and to replunge into a ftate of confufion -and calamity, worfe even than that from which they have fo happily emerged. The fearful events which ire at prefent pafling in France, with a rapidity of mifchief that furpafies equally all that hiilo- jy has to offer, or fancy to conceive, aftbrd «i fpedac^' intereft- ing to every man who poflefles Property; and to none mora than to FARMERS. The quarrel now raging in that once jBourifhing kingdom, is not between liberty and tyranny or between proteding and oppreiHve fyftems of government ; it is, on the contrary, collc£ted to a fmgle point. — It is alone a <}ueftion of property It is a trial at arms, whether thofe who have nothing (hall not feize and poflfefs the property of thofe who have fomething* A dreadful queftion — a horrid ftrUggler— which can never end but in the equal and univerfal ruin of ALL. In which, he who gains by the lofs of his neighbour, gains but to lofe, in his turn, to fome fturdier robber, till riot and confufion render property bat the fignarl of invafion, and poverty the bed fhield againfl the attacks and- tyranny bf the mob* . >, The watch-word from , one end of France to the other, ii&; equality ; they join'Ubeiity with it, as mountebanks anntfic a favourite epithet to anoftrum, whofeonlyobjeftis the moRc^lt in the pockets of the credulous.

The word i» abfurd if it attaches not tp l-propcrty, for there can be no equality while one man is rich and another poor. - . '^u v-./.'^t There is inforniation which can be relied on, that the Far- mers \vhofe occupations are largffy on comparifon with the general fize of farms, are under, the moft abominable oppref- iion ; an arbitrary and defpotic mob obliges them to fell ihcif j)roduc\s at a fixed price ; fetting the price of all provifions tit the rates agreeable to their intereft ; and have, in innumer- able inilances, taken the corn brought to market at no price at all. To avoid this injuftice, the Farmers have abftained from appearing in the markets ; and fuch a conduct has been punifhed by fine, imprjfonment, and forfeiture ; and decrees have even been pafled for their expulfion, and dividing their farms among fuch as have chofen to feize them. In the levy- ing of taxes, the moft abominable tranfaftions have difgraced the kingdom ; while the proprietors of a few acres, who every Avhere form the majority of each municipality, efcape all tax- ation, they are vigilant in forcing every man of more con- fiderable property to pay to the laft farthing ; and as all taxes are aflfeffed and levied by parochial vote, at aflemblies, to which at'I refort, the men without property order every thing at will, and have various ways, much more effeftive, for the divifion of property, than the moft dired levelling principle could fuggeft. Let the Farmers of this kingdom, reprefent to themfelves 'a picture of what their fituation would be, if their labourers, their fervants, and the paupers whom they fupport by poor- rates, were all armed, and in pofleflion of the veftry, voting not only the money to be raifed by rates, but the divifion of it among themfelves ; decreeing what the price of all the Farmer's products fliould be ? what wages ihould be paid to fervants, and what pay to labourers. Under fuch a fyftem of government I beg to a{k, what fecUtity would remain for a fingle fhilling in the pockets of thofe who are at prefent in a ftate of cafe and competence ? And whether fuch a ftate of tyranny >wuld nor b* worfe than that of the moft determined. def|»otifrn at pifefchftti Europe. ■ Th^e fa\Sls are ftated as having taken placs in France > to fay •M PJW» fn^HM, ^IPQI C 6.

The queftion is anfwered in a few words : from the h. yes laws being fubmitted to the will, and the power being lodged felfo i in the hands of the mob ; — from whofe firie-fpun fpeculations ]iiave of the " Rights of Man** being carried into effect, on which C It i the late tranfa£lions in France are the bcft comment, and the fption moil fatisfaftory reply. ^fler I revere the manly fpirit and underftanding to be found in i-e/iea my countrymen of the loweft order. Their generous hearts, I truft, would abhor the idea of imbruing their hands in the blood of women ; — of cowardly butchering thofe un- fortunate men who had it not in their power to refift. The fyftem of daftardly aflafTmation, which was fuggefted by the Jacobins in France, would, I truft, meet with little encourage- ment in this country. But popular tyr?.nny is a catching phrenzy, and the mofl dreadful diforders muft enfue, where An or all the property of fociety is at the mercy of thofe who pof- ' ' fefs nothing. Attack and plunder will furely follow power in fuch hands. And I would live in Turkey rather than in Eng- land, if the wild and prepofiferous propofitionc founded on the " Rights of Man** were to become eifeftive in this king- dom. In other words, I have property ; and I do not chufe to live where the firft beggar I meet may, with the fabre in one . , hand, arid Rights of Man in the other, demand a fhare of that wiie oj which a good government tells me is my own, W^S^^^ That there were many refpeftabk men in this country 4duob wfetD wifhed Well t-e the conftitution of France, as edabiiOicd ed as in i 78^, is not tp be doubtedi, and th^fe perfons aflfert, with 'Iguilt twfpe^ to tike powler being jput In the hands of the people, fo ^igoi £w wo»Mwlft have gc^i;ie anid no farther J but they /orget that | Tl; by going fo far they have given the power from their own fSuch l»£nd^:Qn$ 'Hvfi theI»fel^'^s iiiad4 % outrage and diforder, |iot ^ an f immn HRVi^ ■P /, )e an oxag- lom, in the It has been , it may, in pie of fuch the power have fomc in France : from, the ing lodged )eculations , on which It, and the e found in generous heir hands T thofe un- ifift.

It is there afler ted, that no man can be aecufed, ifr'' krejied, or detained, except in^ cafes determined by the law, and ac-' ording to the forms whicty the law has prefcribed. Such is the ctter: what is the pratee? On complaints ffom Niort,' igainft fome countef-revolutionifts, feized by a mob, thirfting or their blood, but who wi{hed to have the flimfcy cloak oi\ iemblance of juftice, the^NATioNAL assembly decreed, " thaf ,11 the criminal tribunals of the kingdom fhould try, without: ippeal; all crimes committed a^ainft the revolution.
