One from among thy oretben shall thou set
hng over thee : thou mayest not set a stranger
over thee, tv hi eh is not thy bather'*
i he sc words of Moses, which were a
roong some of the last spoken to the people
ot his charge, contain a divine direction to
professing Christians at this day. Doubt
laas Mnses in vision saw the time when the
tveople would not be possessed of sufficient
virtue among themselves to govern them
selves, but would need the authoritive con
trol ot Kings and other subordinate officers.
Hence, in the text, we find him giving them
directions of this kind, awl strictly charging
them not to resign their liberties into the
lands ot any of the nations round about
them. Here we may remark, that all the
precepts, commands, prohibitions and re
strictions oi Scripture once laid, continue in
force and are binding upon ail men, until
the same authority which first imposed such
command is pleased to revoke it in the same
public manner. The holy spirit by the
mouth ot Moses directs the children of Is
real, God’s visible church, to select for pub.
lie office such as professed to worship the
true God and none othtia. Hence we find
him say ing in the text “ thou mayest not
set s stranger over thee, 8tc.M The infer
ence now is easy. The body of professing
, Christians represent the children of Israel,
andpeople of no devout feelings, together
with such as never professed to have any,
represent the natrons round about them
therefore, if it was the duty of ancieot Israel
in obedience to the commands of Gnd to be
stow their dignities on their brethren only,
■ it is equally the duty of Christians at this
; day to scrutinize the religious belkfof their
Candidates for public office, and in no case
j whatever give their rotes for persons ot loose
morals, or heretical sentiments, fray, far
ther, it is believed that Ihe interest of Zion
is not likely to be advanced except all pub
lic men are men ot experimental piety.
It it probable that when the words of the
text were uttered reference was had to the
evils winch must of consequence be felt,
li the heathen nations round about Israel
had been possessed of the power they would
not only have subjugated the people, but
destroyed the public ordinances of religion*
and if possible exterminated the true knowl
euge ot God among them. Irreligious men
now have the same hatred to true religion
as those heathen had, and if possessed of
the means fee accomplishing their purposes
would persecute it wuh as much cruelly,
saving those barbarities which were cou
lined to those barbarous ages. Let sober
and considerate men think fur a moment
ou these dungs.. Let them for a while
heed the dictates of duty aiul conscience,
and it is presumed they will feel the force
of the foregoing remarks.

FACTS . . ,
For the consideration of all those Citizens
of Maine, witi*out distinction of par
ty, who love th< mselves and the coun
try, better than office-seekers, dema
gogues and woutd-be tyrants—who,
under the garb of “ letters of ihe peo
ple*' and pretended republicans, strive
to obtatn the management of the gov
ernment at the expense of national
prosperity. .
I think, there can be no better way of
putting the two parties of our country
to a fair trial, to discover which has the
good ot the nation at heart, and which
is best qualified to govern, than by com
paring their respective professions With
their respective practises.
Uonap.-.rte professed to be a republi
can as long 09 he could find one stupid
fellow to flatter by it. Fenon and Chris
tophe both profess republicanism.—[Jut
this ought not to lessen our love of re
publican government; but in fact ought
to increase it. Every rogue wishes to
be thought honest ; and every tyrant,
infidel, or philooo phial, in all past ages,
and the present, have made profession
of something whos>e excellence the
world had generally acknowledged,'
thereby to disguise his own native wick
edness.
flow did the present party in power
succeed m climbing over ttie backs of
the Washington and Adams udnunis
n ations into the scats of government ?
It Was by crying down those adminis
trations, aud pi utilising, on *fitir ruins,
to build up mountains of happiness arid
nutioual wealth. \ j
Hawr the promises of the democrats,
or the party now in office, which they !
made to induce the people to turn out
federal officers .and place them in their
stead, been performed i . 'T hey prom
ised many things which they knew they
could not prrform ; but have they pet
Ibt Mtd what they might, or what hon
est and able men wopid hate perform
ed !
f hey promised reduction in public
officers and in public salaries. .
Almost every important public of
fice has had its salary raised biuce Jef
ferson was advanced to the chair. ,
They promised ‘•j?ohucal toleration'’
ol opinion and more freedom ol the
press. .
1 housands ol officers have been »e
moved ior their being federalists, and
lor no other cautx ; and more s.uits
tor libels have been commenced under
Mr. J’s. administration, by. iMr, than
there were under both those that prece
ded him.
They promised to protect commerce,
and confessed in the onset that our flag
was respected in every sea.
1 hey have suffered our treaty with
England to expire without renewing it
or making a new one—Our treaty with
France live9 only in name : our sea
nun being thrown into her prisons for
violating mn the high seas, the provi
sions ol a decree which our government
calls a “ i\unictJtQt regulation,” a 44 local
law and no redress sought. Our
minister sets with folded arms at the
Court of St. Cloudy and hundreds of
his fcilow-cititens groaning in the pris
ona ut Arras and other places. Em
bargoes, nonintercourses, and M enforce
mg” acts arc passed to “compel foreign
powers to respect our rights.” The
federalists condemned these proceed
ings because they were futile and would
end in disgrace. Therefore the feder
alists wetp called lories.^But now their
prophecies have been verified : Bona
parte says he look and confiscated our
property because we passed a noninter
course ; and new we are disposed, see
ing lus resentment, to 4 tn-id back.our
steps/ If England had done and Said
the same, would our rulers have treat
ed her with the same friendly deport
ment \—T hey promised neutrality ;
does all this look like impartial neu
trality i
. '1 hey promised there should be no
standing armies or military prepara
tions in time of peace.
They have at two several times de
l tached a hundred thousand militia, and
| held them in readiness ; they have in
| creased the army establishment, and
j enforced a commercial law with the
bayonet. <
They promised to lessen our taxes,
They nave increased them, and nude
them twice more gieviousnow than ten
years ago, by impoverishing the coun
try.
They promised to diminish the na
tional debt.
They have paid some naiional debt,
but have added fifteen millions to ttu:
original sum, and that by the pmcuase
of ItOuiaiona, which is out a cuise to
the nation.
They promised to destroy the NHy
—this they have done, and showed
themselves so far in practise up to then
profession : but now at this late day,
when experience has cast a little llgat
into the e)es of the pcrjpk*, they begin
a new song, and tell you with as much
gravity and honesty as they prcaoucd
the contrary ten years ago, Uiui we mu*t
have a JSiuvy ! \et lull to do any thing
to the purpose. 1 Jisv have got a snail
of gun-Do..is along shore—useless ex
pensive tilings—eye-sores to every man
of sense, it this is pine republicanism*
Tis best to have no more 01 it. ,
But the butt oi their promises was
economy.
I he expenses rrt government during
Mr. J's. economical reign oi 8 ^ears,
exceeds those of the Washington and
Adams administration oi 12 years On
an average. il»c expenses oi Mr. JVj
economical rtign lor one year, exceeds
that of W's. and A s, adiniuuuauon
lor the same term, one fuunh.
They promised, in conjunction with
the republican emperor oi Trance, that
j toe ngois of neutrals should Oc cslub
j lished on solid basis, that lice ship*
saouid make free goods, aiul that me
\tomahuv:K should not oc buried bii cdt1
|tliis Was uccompiimeil. ,
What has been done ! By the illicit
conduct of those good republicans, and
by the imbecility and absurdity of our
rulers, and the preposterous and over*
reaching .strides of Bonaparte, tire ocean
has .become a mere scene of robbery,
and instead of free ship* making fr«o
goods, Bonaparte reads the text thus—.
“ f:ee ships make the ships and goods
free plunder 1” Contrast the situation
of our com-Yerce now with its situation
ten years ago, and then satisfy yourself
of the sincerity k honesty qf our ruler*.
'1 hty promised a full ttepsury at aft
times, and they have boasted that it was
fofl and running over Mr. JY last
me*sage informed us that there was in
the treasury mone money than the gov
ernment had use lor. *
Our treasury is uow empty, and al
ready several millions have been bor
rowed to defray the cunent expenses
of government i iiajw can the peoph*
suffer such management i Let us quit
such republican mock err, and bung1
honest consistent repuldjcans into of
fice, and 9ee if tktir practise will not bfe
more for the interest and honor and
safety of the country.
I beseech you to oast your eyes baefc
to the time when Mr. Jefferson and
I bis party .t ame into full power. Bring
to your mind the complaint* they con
tinually uttered against the federal ad-*
ministrations. . Recollect, their boast
ings and puffed professions. Turn the
pages slowly over to tive present day.
, View the whole ground at this hour, an
it is. Build no fiction ; make no bug
bear, and say how can it be ^ssible
that such men should still receive the
! support of •.majority of our citiztna,
1 while their weakness, their madness
and their wickedness are rising up in
our eyes wherever we turn ourselves,
j There is something rotten in every
important step they have taken. 1 his
is not conjecture ; it is fact. By their
fruits they are known Their abilities,
their honesty and their republicanism
have always been doubted by the besk
men in our country.; and now, sir,
please to give them the tes*. As to
their abilities they have said them
selves, for these lour years, that the
wisest of them knew not what to do —
Here is condemnation out of their own
mouths. They continually are split
ting, quarreling and fighting among
. themselves. As to their honestv, look
i at rite defalcations of their first men—.
they have taken heavy sums front a
pockets of the people, by disooncstiy
| rewarding scoundrels for supporting
them. Theyhave.all of'them political
i ly condemned themselves, oy promising
: that which they hever meant to fulfill,
and by staling things officially as facts,
which they kit-\v were not; Mr. J.
himself step’d ft am the presidency with
something very much like a lie in hi^
mouth. . As to their republicanism, if
proscribing every one who dares t<»
speak sentiments in opposition to the
' powers that be—if pronelyi.sm and fa
- vorilism, and building a ladder tor the
military to march over the civil author
ity—if aiding the universal domination
of Bonaparte ami closing iu with his
j • laical creeds, because *k he 1<jvc* the
Americana'*—if these are true traits of
republicanism, our rulers possess a suf
ficiency of it.
The tacts here stated, are known U»
every man of any observation ; the re
marki are rcvelent, clear, and such as
* the facts aulhoiize.In following mu
lover
j think, reader, he. pretty well convinced
i why 1 have detenumed not to vole tor
J men of the jiarty who now rule the na
! tion* They have been gnawing Upon
j the vitals ot the state already too long ;
and if they are not soon removed from

inevitably be compelled to wallow
