(Continued from our last.)
The federal fuction conscious of their wedk-»
ness and total inabiliiy 1o cope with Republi
cans in point of numbers, are resorting to and
exhausting all the arts of deception and re
sources of cm'mpsion.éo delude, and seduce
Republicans ‘from thef® stundard. The fed
eralists have no hope of victory but from the
aid of Republicans, and they have the foliy
to count upon that aid. Yes, Republicans,
" the federal faction, think you weak and cre
dulous ensugh to be made the dupes of their
- inyrigue end artifice. They boast of their
talents at deception ; and of the success they
have heretofore had in this infamous work.

*7' observation will enzble you to act wib
discretion =nd propriety. On one land you
are presented with the avowod frieuds of
Bruish Monarchy~—with the associataes of
your uncient and implacgble enemics ; en the
cther, with the unshaken friends of Ameri
tan Independentemthe veteran supporters
of your invaluable Ivilcges. On one side
vou behold those who defend the spoliaticns
of the English witly all the pathos of ¢logquence
~~=who vi:eicat’e the murder of our citizens—
who are willing to' tanzely submit to all the
insults of Great« Britain, md who warm!ly ad
vocate the detestable cause of her deccitful
and sanguinury legate ;-on the other those
who arckthc euncmics of despotism—=who have
übiformnly espoused the cause of Republican
?m-—wuo are anxious to preserve your Con
titulign «nd immunities, and who are desir
ous of sccing you disengaged from foreign
influence, ane injurious alliances.
OUn which of these will your chuice full ?
In wuich will you place your confidence—-in
wiich confide your own ahd country’s interes!?
Will your votes be givengdor these who are
the abettors of vour w inveterate focs—
who, 1n every instunce, justify the proceed
ings of those blood-thirsty sous of rapine,that
eist laid waste your fnirgt towns, desolated
your feetile fields; and, like incavnate devils,
drenched your pliins with the blood of inno

would have you condemn and descrt youy

“his disavowal of the imputed partiality, why ]
does he refuse it to the disavowal of govern

with them who compelled our government to
raise it.. The Minister of England insoited
our govetnment ;he tock the side ‘of that

the fact by ilseM decides mothing. They
may be large und yet economical, they may
be small and get extravagunrt. So. Myt Pot

anuually spent as a sort of test of their ros

concludes in what was spent, the meney ap

The Jefferson administration, paid towards
the publick debiubent double the amount paid
By the procecaing“udministrations, and this
goes to make up what the Jeflerson ad
