here declares that the poor man’s wifdom is

all things, yea even truth iifeff, with a preju
dice for or agaioft it according te the medium
! through which it is received. There cannot
a man be found fo totally loft to a lenfe of
rectitude as to fay unblulbiugly that vice is
more commendable thau virtue, yet few thee
are who would not rather be noticed by a

The following exrra&s are from aw j
Add rtfs of the Hon. Mr. Potter of :
Rhode Ifland, to hi! conftituems.
The difference of expenfe between a
federal and democratic adminiftration
fur the fame length of time is official
ly given. Ihe bold and energetic,
yet temperate language of this gen
t!eman m®ft be gratifying to every
friend of true rr pu b lie am fm. Mr. j
P. is re-elected to a feat in our na
tional legislature for the enfaing two
years.
** 1 a Ik you to reflet and examin
for yourfelves, before it is too ia»e.
Judge of men by their practice, and
not by their profeffions. Judge of
the economy of the adminiftration by
the In ms of money they have expen
ded am! the objects of expenditure.
There appears to me to be as great
a difference between the minority
and m*j >rity 9$ it refpects real and i
pralVtcai republicanifm, as th^re is
between a hypocrite and a citfiftain :
a hypocrite profcfles religion, and a
chntfian practices it. The majority
profYfs r-pubhuir.if'n and rhe minori
ty practice it. Initead of blaming
the minority for having the indepen
dence to oppofe roeafures which they
confider improper or ii juriops to the
nation, you ou^Kt coolly and candid
ly to examin into the motives and
reafons that influence their conduit;
and when you find that their oppo
sition to thofe mealures is well groun
ded, you ought to fupport them a -
gainft the clamor of the tervile friend*
of the adminiftration *, and tmlefs
this be done, there is no freedom of
elections—no fafery in a reprefenta
uve government.
*• When the majority is very large
they become regardlefs ot the intcr
elt and Kberty of the people. 1 hey
confiJer themfelves railed above the
power of their conftituents : and if
they can perfuade the people that the
minority, when theyoppoi'c meafure
which they confidcr weak «r wicked,
are oppolcrs of the government, your
conftitution has become a dead let
ter, and the dc£trin of paflive obedi
ence ami nonrefi(dance revived in its
fulieft extent.
“ With all our boaft of republi
canifm, we have had a directory com
pofed of members of congrefs, who
at yhe dole of a prefidential term have
in caucus Tre/ted the people whom
to elect pruidenf and viceprefident
and the people have obeyed their
mandates. And after the election
of the prefident, the lame directory
have claims on Kin:, in proportion to
their induftiy and influence in pro
curing his election.
** In order to give you a correct
view of the operations of the govern
ment, under the different sdminiltra
tions, I have taken from the report
of the fecretaryof the trealury of the
United grates, which I have in aij
pofTefTion, the amount of the annual
receipts and expenditures of ihcfev
