How long will the good people of
New-Kngland suffer themselves to be
'deceived by designing and ambitious
men ? How long will they lend their
<iid to promote the views oi a party,
who iiavc no regard for the true inter
ests of the nation or for the legitimate
principles of the Constitution ? it
would seem, that they must have had
time for reflect ion, and have been fur
nished with sufficient pi oofs ot want ol
patriotism and want oi integrity in the j
leaders of Democracy. It would seem,
1 that they must in future be more on
their guard, having so frequently oi
late detected the mistatemculv of our
i political jugglers, and known tne moral
! defects of tbeir official characters.
11 faithful to themselves, in their en
quiries and reflections, they cannot,
fail to pet ceive, that the fair promises,
of prosperity and happiness which were
! made by our pretended Republicans
have never been fulfilled, and that the
great interests of the country have been
somehow totally neglected. They
cannot but observe the following im
portant facts, viz.—1'hat thz federalists
were the friends of the constitution, and
that under the influence of their policy
I and measures the country was raised
• to a high degree of prosperity, credit
and respect ; that our rights were pro
tected, peace preserved and commerce
extended —That, the men, who op
posed the federal constitution, who con
demned the policy of Washington and
the measures of his administration, have
tor the last nine years possessed the
power and directed the af/m* of the
nation—-That the views and conduct
of those men, as was expected, have
been totally different from those of the
Washington school—and that the con
sequences of lias change of policy, are
an exhausted treasury, embarrasments
! on commerce and a disrespect in al!
foreign natrons of the government and
, people of the United Stales.
We ask the people to reflect with
impartiality upon past and recent events
—upon the state of things from 1790
to iaoo ; and upon the situation of our
national concerns at preseni and for two
or three years past—and they will be
convinced of the truth of the foregoing
positions. We all know that the af
fairs of the country were in a disorder
ed and deplorable state, untill the, a
doption of the federal constitution a.id
the operation of the federal govern
ment. But we remember also that
this constitution was opposed by all the
\Jtffcrsons, the Gallatins, Ihe Gileses, the
Cliniom, I he,Germ*, the Varnums and
the IVulgerys of the country. By the
wise, the firm and the dignified conduct
of Washington mid his associates, we
know, public credit was established, the
interests of commerce cnerisned, and
the American name honored in the eyes
of Europe. We know toil, that this
wise and magnanimous policy of the
federal administration was censured and
opposed by the same men above men
tioned, who had attempted to prevent
the adoption of the constitution, be
cause Washington treated v.ith Eng
land, and thus provided tor the exten
sion and prosperity of commerce ; be
cause (tho* he wished well to the French
revolution in its first stages) he reiused
to join in a foreign war at the request
of trance, and checked the insolent
conduct of her Envoy who was wish
ing to destroy our peace and eventual
ly our independence, by making us rest
upon the power of France for protec
tion—because Washington did these
tilings, he was vihfied by those seit
styhrd republicans, who have since
gotten the power of the government
into their hands, and who never ceased
to attempt to unite the destinies or sl
merica with those ot the French Fm
pire, and to provoke the commercial na
tion of iEngland ;o opeu husulities.
And since 31 r. Jefferson and his party
came into po»er, we have seen, that a
course of policy has been pursued very
different iiuin that adopted by Hushing
ion and his associates Not only were
those in w hom H a*hingio:i hud confi
dence, dismissed from office ; but
measures were materially changed.
Our j\avy was neglected and disman
tled ; and when it Wds necessary to
have some show of na\al force to pro
tect our commerce, large sums of
money weie expended in lx Iding a
sort ol lilijiuUon fleet,wnich was nm hing
but a mockery U defence. French
threats we a* pocketed, French p_. fidy
overlooked, and French plunders cmiu->
red with philosoplffc inmlcrence. i he
rapacity and the insolence of the £fum~
is* court were su'.nphujl to, b^cau^s it
was feared the Fn.pvror cf Fiance
vvuuiu be offeiK.ed. Fy. tiffs great
■ djy of human lUUurt ” ocr vt siUs were
taken and burnt^ the tieaiy he hud
made* with u» violated; and decreet
were passed most hostile to the iightt
and interests of neutral nations. At°the
same time, it w„s t le policy of the Jef
Ursoniiua party, to keep op a constam
j fcueatictss with Greht D ...... to mag
nify at! the oners of fitr a gents,no re
fuse all accommodation with her gov,
ernmtnt, and il possible to provoke i •
to open hostilities. The effects of this
policy, as was long before predicted,
were a diminution of our comincrci.! i
I prosperity, a check to the ertterprisin,
spirit of Americai . and a total failure
of the raven ic, so m Ct« iat v to si

A NATIVE AMERICAN.
Mr- SHiBier,
fl observed in the last Argus, many
illiberal and uncharitable remarks upon
my letter ; remarks which I am sure
could come from no republican—lor
republicanism is something rational.—
The Jroth over the signalure of u rtJ
aham rtfiublicanwhs too weak, petu
lent and puerile to receive serious no
tice—as the niojt sure mean of con
signing the writing ami writer to obKv -
ion, I recommend a to the examination
of my republican brethren. tl Candor'*
observes that Messrs. Turner, Hub
bard, &c. were at the Gray Caucus,
and advocated the nomination of Will
iam Widgery —-Not being chosen a
delegate myself I was not there, of
course cannot determine with whatde
e of warmth they adfoc uted W idg
eiy.—One thing if Cfltdnty,
tint Major Foscrolt of this town, was
not tin i c. 1 did net say that Messrs*
Ftacraft) Hubbard, Of Turner, fell in
jured that they were not nominated't I
do MM think that they did, or (hit they
even thought of being candidates thfcm
i aches—but I do say they ought to be
nominated in preference to Widgery.
1 am happy to learn from Oxford coun
ty tfiat the true spirit of republicanism
I prevails ; and that a determination i*
formed by many, to support sojire c li
| er candidate than Widgery. I ear
nestly request them to agree on one of
| the three men before mentioned, and
fo give us timely notice that we may
support him—if we cannot elect him
at the first trial, we may prevent the
choice of Widgery or the federal can
didate, and at the second trial may suc
; ceed. It rejoices my heart that wo
1 have so many republicans, who have
resolved to take independent ground
against Widgery. Let this man’s
schemes be cut off—let his career b«
checked. .The republican party will
no longer be deceived.
