It has been the policy of the democrats II

tural interests. This has been the burthen II
of their song morning, noon and night, and II
they succeeded in making proselytes to II
that opinion in ouw days of unexampled
prosperity, or in other words, during the I
administration of Wasnincton, when
our commerce seemed to extend itself with I
the ocean. The democrats, at length dp- I
ceived the people by their arts, machine- I

I from the of the federalists, and we

farmer, if he can ever forget the result of II
that experiment ? In their attempt to I
ruin commerce by a perpetual embargo, I
agriculture suffered'like wise; the surplus I
I produce of the soil was doomed to rot in
I barns, and the people at length found, by I
I dear bought wisdom, the truth of what the I
I federalists had always told them, that the I
I interests jf commerce were the interests of I
I agriculture also. The question remains to
I be decided at the ensuing election whether I
the people will once more repose their
confidence on those who brought them tp
I the brink of ruin. The farmers, to a man,
I are interested in the support of the follow
ing Prox Every accession of strength gain
ed by the democrats will be employed in a
recurrence to those old measures, under I
which the farmer has so severely suffered.'

Suppose Robert Smith* late a pettifog
ging Attorney, stock-jobber and shaver t
of Baltimore, now Secretary of State,
should authorise the publication in the Na
tional Intelligencer of a paragraph, stating
private letter*' from Mr. Pinkney, detail
ing the particulars of a long conference
with Lord Wellesley, in which conference
Lord Wellesley “ did not attempt to vin
dicate Mr. Jackoon on the contrary, he
admitted that he was ip the wrtftg, that he
must' return, and a successor would be
sent out to the United States.®
that the said Secretary had received “ a
Suppose too, that after the receipt of the
said private letter, Mr. Smith called on a
particular acquaintance of Mr. Jackson in
Washington, to inquire whether he knew
of Mr. Jackson’s contradicting the state
ment of his conduct being disapproved by
his government.
Suppose Mr, Secretary Smith informed
the said acquaintance, that in the confer
ence between Wellesley and Pinkney, the
former stopped the latter when he began
to talk of Mr. Jackson's conduct, saying,
“ I desire you will say nothing- upon that
subject, as it belongs to his Majesty only
to judge of Itand also upon the topick of
the Orders, in Council, that Lord Welles
ley would not bear Mr. Pinkney, saying,
that he “ had uot time to consider the sub
ject, but Would bring to if an unbiassed
mind.”
Suppose the said acquaintance to have
observed, here, to Mr. Smith, “1 see in this
neither approbation nor disapprobation of
Mr. Jackson’s conduct,” and that Mr
Smith replied, •• true, but we conclude he
is disapproved* because he is to be recall
ed."
Suppose, also, that the statement in the
Intelligencer, has no other foundation than
Mr. Smith’s conclusion falsely drawn Iron,
a stttement impliedly admitted as a con
tradictioti, and that the conclusion drawn
from the .aforesaid "private letter" is
contradicted by the publick despatch.
Suppose, further, that while for elec
tioneering purposes, it is given out at
Washington, that Mr. Jackson's conduct is
disapproved by his government, the firm
of General Samuel Smith to have written
to their correspondents in New-York, m
forming to the contrary; what will the
people tkink of the veracity and honour of
, an administration which for the purpose
of iiflucncing important elections to the
eastward, turns out of the straight path
of its official duties, and gives currency
to misrepresentations and falsehoods for thr
base and detestable purpose of deceiving
the people I Kncwv then, people of Mary
tand, that we have the beet authority for
stating that what we have mentioned as a
I supposition, is /ecl, smd that the private
tetter of Mr. Finkney to Secretary Smith,
warrants no ouch assertions as have been
set forth in the National Intelligencer; on
the contrary, that Lord Wellesley would
I not permit Mr Pinkney to prefer a com
plaint against Mr. Jackson’s conduct.
We challenge the cunning Attorney, ano
principal political juggler in the adminis
I tration, to publish entire and without mu-
I illation the whole of his private letter front
Mr. Pinkney, an.t we pledge ourselves it
will appear, that Lord Wellesley has nut
| censured Mr. Jackson, and if aught dero
gatory to him has been said, it bus beep
hypothetically and upouahe ex-parte state
ment of our government and minister.
Will any man of sense believe that if
Mr. Pinkney had the very important and
interesting information to gooHnunicate to
his government of the disapprobation of
Mr. Jackson’s conduct, it would be con
tained only in a private letter to Secretary
Smith and not in his official despatches i
And if such intelligence h contained in the
poblick despatch, why has it not been com-
I municated to Congress by the President ?
I la it credible that Mr. Madison would re
sist the temptation to disclose ouch flatter-
I fog advices, if it. could be done officially
| and truly t We consider the statement in
the National Intelligencer, which is now
I travelling the rounds in the eastern States,
I as one of (fie meat barefaced and insolent
attempts to impose upon the people, that
I has been witnessed. Its parallel is to be
found only in the false and artfol Mtooua-
I elation of the 'rupture v. ith Mr. Jackson,
which first appeared in the government
p. per. t It paMhere assorted, (and aa ap
peal was made to the nation to rally round
that Mr * Ihcksm And
groooly insulted our government, and
given the Re to the Secretary yf State. It
was tried by mean and law artifices to
raise an emwheteing clamour against
England, and to excite a war feeling. And
bow dih it ail turn out in evidence I The
first insult was given by Secretary Smith.
The good faith of England was assailed,
and Mr. Jackson in a dignified and spirited
manner repelled the insulting allusion to
perfidy. .
Mr. Jackson was himself told, in so
many words, that he had made “ irrele
vant and improper allusions.” His reply
was provokingly moderate. The whole
nation was set a gadding to find the " m
sult," the President affecting to find it in
one part of the correspondence, Congress
in another, and the ministerial prints in a
third. This, preceded by the perfidious
arrangement with Mr. Erskine, and va
rious other attempts to mislead and im
pose upon the publick, must awaken the
jealous fears and suspicions of the people,
and destroy all confidence in their treach
erous and hypocritical rulers. With what
face can these self-interested demagogues,
whose veracity and good faith have been
committed, whose impostures have become
proverbial, whose plighted honour binds
them to support the pretensions of ** Our
Ring JVapoleon"— with what face can
these detected hypocrites and 1 impostors
call upon the people to believe, that Secre
tary Smith has received a private letter
from Mr. Pinkney, authorising Che belief,
that the British Ministry have taken part
with our Secretary, and condemned th*
conduct of their own Minister, Who so well
understood the honour and interests of his
country, and so ably and couragrnusl.’
maintained them ? We say again, let
private letter of a publick nature be pt v
duced, and we pledge ourselves, from the
information we have received, that it wih
turn out to be another base attempt, of a
piece with varioas others, to gull the pub
lick.
With respect to New-York, and thr
New-England states, we have too high an
opinion of their honesty and good sense, to
suppose they can any longer be deceived
by such trumpery and ministerial juggling.
If the eyes of these enlightened, virtuous
.nd patriotick people are not now opened
•o the deceit and frauds of administration,
if their jealousies are. not up, their fears
Awakened, and their nerves strung for
action, the Federalists of the south have
tittle hope for salvation. Whenever New-
England shall desert the standard of Fed
eralism, and fall a prey to the seductive
snake-tike wiles of southern democracy,
the country is irretrievably ruined. Our
lips will be sealed—it will be folly to con
sider ourselves in any other light than that

vince of the tyrant, ” Our King Papo
