On the last Tuesday of (his month, you
will be called upon to give your votes for
'Representatives to the twelfth Congrea* nf
the United States, and for Representatives
to the General Assembly of this State, fi.
selecting qharacters/o fol these important
stations, your attention will unddnbtedly be
directed to those, <pn whose ,wisdom And
fidelity you can re)y. With a view to this
important end, your candid is re
quested to a perusal of the following obser
vations: We are often too much biassed
by attachment* to particular leader* of
party, and too much influenced by the *e
coxnmendations and nomioatioos of parti
cplar.political cjub*. These are often com
posed qf men who pre continually fluctu
ating, a* the 7/q/fe of gaining *n office or
Ithe fear pflosing ,it prompts them. What

or called by the latter, they have di*tir>
guished themselves as Tammany and Re

(hi* laqt, a few remark* are submitted for
tlje publiok to decide. The constitution of
thelJnitedState*ever ha*been and is now
known and denominated to be purely and
absolutely Federal Republican. Wash*

with him in the revolution, who arc sow
denominated Zatfrs, were under hi* admin
ration called Federal FefiubEcane, and
the present ruling party wer* thin stiled

The writer of the following stanzas was im
portuned by a friend, some time since, to sup
ply the deficiencies of the “ Ode ou the Pas
sions.** It was Replied, that “ such an under
taking would resemble the attempt of a jour
neyman carpenter t* finish a statue of Prax
iteles.* The request, however, being renew
ed, was so far eifeutual aa tq elicit this frag

any thing to Collin’s jOQe, but a. an bubble,
foetant effort, to Jmiteto fo* character of that
celebrated prodqction.
Baft old yon monetroas shape appearl
The Gorgon head, the Danaides* heart;
Their stings the curling serpents rear,
While e’en Ambition owns a fear,
And Hope and Joy depart.
•Twas Envy dat'd the bower invade,
And round with cuprous eye survey’d,
To where the Lesbian lyre was laid,
juried beneath itf .myrtle shade.
That lyre, whose strains so sweet, so strong.
To f sppho’s touch alone belong.
That lyre, whose tones .so strong, so sweet,

et this weird wretch presum’d to strive
The Zynci »pirit to revive!.
And emulate those sounds, that stole
O’er poor Alcaeus’ subject soul!
Bemorse approach’d—his wasted frame,
Feebly, on trembling knees he bore:
Alike in sorrow and in shame,
Timoleon’s form he wore.
(What time, from Corinth forc’d to roam,
He wander’d far from friends and home)
With gory hand he struck the lyre— '
The lyre, indignant at the wrong,
Scorn'd to pour the soothing song j
And harshly groan’d each dotted wire, •
Now first by murd’rous band profan’d,
How first by human blood distain’d.
Back sprang the wretch i and call’d
To end the strange and *' solcmp” j4fi
While still within its banquet plies
The gnawing worm, ,th#t never ,die,,’
—jThe next that caiqc—
With sinewy arm of fight,
And ardent, eagle sight,
Ambition was his name.
Amid the band,
With lawless hand,
He dar’d aspire
To seize ftita’d Mem ’on’s mystick lyre,
And struck those haHbwM Chords of fire,
Long sacred’ to the Sufi I
But when the impious deed was done.

To sudden majesty dilate i
I saw him stretch h» giant farm
In shadowy length Athwart the *ky»

those heroes uf the revolution who were •
check to their licentiousness, and under A
Mgecious and alluring name of Republicans,
they crept into power; and under that
name they practice deceptions of the nioar
depraved nature. Retaining (he nature and ,
sentiment* of democrat*,- they now cloak"
their act bh inti a, designing and destructive
schemes under the name of Republican*,
and would fain represent themselves a* the
“disciples of Washington.*' But ft will
be recollected tlut Washington was no
democrat— and that between leptildfcan*
ism and democracy there is a metei uU dif
ference. The former creed* Was adopted
and pursued by Washington, Hamil
ton, and ail those patriots who fought for
the independence of our country, and who
fcMablished our glorious, constitutiuQ. * .To
adopt the language of an elegant writer id
the Federal Republican—" Let any judi
cious and impartial man seriously qouipard
this political doctrine with that adojrtt dby
the democratick party. He will find the
former conspicuous for correct principled
of government, calculated to promote the
happiness of the people at home and their
dignityand importance abroad; the latter*
notorious for a wavering, ambiguous policy,
sacrificing the interests of the people at
the shrine of popularity. The jacobins of
France, headed by their Condorcet*, theft
iWaroXa, and their Kobfffiierret, flour
ished in one hand declarations of liberty
uml equality, and with the other, directed
the infuriated energies of a Parisian mob,
.and the axe of the executioner. The em
pire of reason was to be established by the
empire of the sword ; and the instrument
of reform was to be preceded by the sabres
of the san* culottes and gends d'urmeries.
The j.vcobins of this country, when they
came into power, took charge of a govern
ment, though new, yet firmly established
through the correct principle* of their
predecessors. But thi* constitution of things
would not suit their temperament. They
must introduce the despotism of mobs, of
disorganising club*, and unconstitutional
edicts, whil* at th* same time they hypo*
critically accuse the federal republican* of
wishing to establish monarchy and aristo
cracy on the neck* of the people. What, I
ask, would ba pur situation, w*re it not for
<bese very men who have been so unmer
cifully traduced f Enjoying all the tweet*
of anarchy, so mercifully secured try the
provisions of the old confederation; or re
alising the political chimeras of our nk:
turalised patriots, fresh from the schools .
of French and Irish republicks. Our re
pgblick was established by the federal re
publicans: It will be annihilated by thede
mocrstick jacobin*, unless the great mass 1
of the nation is awakened to a sense of the
danger. The present i* a period truly aw
ful. A tremendous despotism, erected on
the ruin* of throne*, republicks and altars,
menace* destruction to every vestige of
liberty and independence."
Fxllow-Citizens,
Ido not wish you to think that I mean
to include the great body of the people
among the jacobinicfc faction, though It Is
to be lamented that eo many have been
deceived, and it 1* to be .feared that the
“ letharglckdeath-like slumber,"into which
many of our honest and unsuspecting yeo
manry bare been lulled, «< will, if per
hevered in, proye fatpl to their liberties. ”
Tb«ee pre the descriptions of men who, un
d,er the name of republicans, nqw rule this
nation; now govern this State. It is im
material by what name they ar* called—
They pre the same who admire Bonaparte,
and are delighted with hi* victories. They
are the l *ame, who some time since, were
excerpting and abusing each oilier in tfie
most virulent language, but who are now
bound together by (he flespotick bund of '
Tammanial infajuatipu. It wjll be remcm •
bered that hi* Excellency the Governour
WfM denounced by some of those wbo now
pretend to be hi* friends. It will be re
membered that a certain person, who now
tnitt as a Justice of the J»eace and a No
tary Publlpk, and whose Tammanial badge
,1* a tomahawk, is the very man who asked
a respectable federalist, if he intended to
” vote for !♦••• >•••••, who (he said)
had been seen daggering from (he
door of R. P.’s !"
The present situation of the State warns
you, not to be prejudiced by name*; it call*
upon you to subdutfthe spirit of .faction and
party seal, and exhorts you to entrust tjie
management of your affairs to man of Hv
lent* and address. Jf you dp this, y<u,4rtU
