We, the welled fopd everthy most faith
ful friends, mutt solemnly lament, O King,
there ever was inch * thing in the world
is a Democrats / Welament there ever was a
Hancock, ^A dams , Franklin, or a %
ington to traitorously Rep forward
thee our beloved king ;.and in deitration of
thyjuft power oyer this country. 'We lam^-
e„, moreover, from our fouls, that there
ever was a Jefferfon to draw up that most
detfoable inftru^t of writing called
"The Declarati^rf^dependence." We lam^
ent that thov°^ft not more loyal and duti
ful'fubiefyin America; in the time of need
to aid ^' and sup port, as did onr bretheren
the rf'ugees, thy most merciful, humane and
Qrtfian armies, in the extirpation of our
brothers, fathers, and mothers, who dared
to oppofethy lenient and jufl measures. We
lament there was national wisdom enough
found in thy united and ungrateful provin
ces, O king ! to fee and feel their own de
basement and humiliated condition under thy
blessed yoke. We lament, jointly, with our
fouls full offorrow, for the cuffed Mania for
equal liberty which made its appearance, and
raged on the 4th day of July, 1776. We
lament for the ill and untimely fate of thy tri
umphant armies under Lord Cornwallis and
his defeat and capture by the sons of democra
cy. We lament, we have never had it in
cur power since, by all our secret fehemes
and frat agents to bring us back under thy
fatherly protection and mild government
£< the most flupendous fabric of human inven
tion." We lament the absence- of our
dearly-beloved, and well chosen brothers and
companions in the cause of subjugation of
America to thee—Peter Porcupine, Joe
& Thomas, Dr. Romaine, and Billy Blount,
of daring memory. We lament above all,
most glorious sovereign, the success of the de
mocrats, in the year 1799, in Pennsylvania,
in the eledion of thy firm,fixed and eternal
enemy, Thomas M'K,n, governor. We
lament the eledion of Thomas Jefferfon, in
1800, the conf ant and feady friend the
people, a$ President of the United States.

Who are real Federal Republicans ?
THEanfwer to this is very obvious. All
who are friends to a Federal Republic.
But what is a Federal Republic ? A defini
tion of this was given in my last, and I pre
sume founded on good authority. The
question then occurs in another form, who
are friends to a Federal Republic ? The
friends and supporters (as they call them
selves) of the Washington and Adams
Administrations, arrogate to themselves this
title, and have been incautiously fuffered to
wear it ; under which deceptive garb they
have been enabled, for some years past, to
attach to their party, many real Federal Re
publicans, who had not afforded themselves
Efficient leisure to examine and determine
for themselves. The Convention who for-

med the Constitution of the U. States, in
their letter accompanying it to the President
of Congress, fay, “ It is obviously impradi
“ cable in the federal government of these Rates
" to secure all rights of independent fovere
" ignty to each, and yet provide for the in
“ tereft and fafety of all. It is at all times
“ difficult to draw with precision, the line
" between those rights which mus f be fur-'
“ rendered, and those which may be referv
“ ed." That it will meet the full and entire
approbation of every State is not, perhaps,
to be expeaed." Th- difficulty of draw
ing with precision the line of Separation be
tween the rights to be surrendered and those
to be reserved, was the cause of the oppoh
tion which was made to the adoption of this
Constitution ; the oppofers of it thought,
thatmore rightsof independent sovereignty in
theindividual ftates,were therein surrendered
to the General Government, than were ne
ce flary to provide for the interest and fafety
of all ; in addition to this, they thought some
articles in it so loosely and vaguely expressed
as to leave to those who might be the admin
istrators of it, too much licence of construc
tion, and therefore they wished for amend
ments. The strong advocates for the adop
tion of the constitution as originally offered
were not able by reason and argument to
answer the objections ; they resorted to in
trigue and artifice and catching the popular
cry and clamour of the moment, denomina
ted those who made any objeaion to it, Anti-
Federalifs. The Constitution was adopted,
and afterwards it was expedient to propose to
the Legislatures of the several States several
articles as amendments thereto, which have
been ratified, and are now part of the Con
stitution. All these amendments were un
der the Washington adminiflration.
Those who had opposed the adoption of the
Constitution, in its original form, now
became its firm supporters, and in order
order effectually to support it, it became ne
cessary to watch, as true Republicans, the
administrators of it, to guard it from de
ftruaion —for the promoters and violent
supporters of it in the original form, never
liked it, but it was the best, according to
[l DCL. 50 CTS. PER ANNUM.
their language, that the People would then
bear. There were at that time, the few, the
small party, the would-be Nobility, who
wished, as they termed it, a more efficient,
a more energetic government ; assimilated
more to that qf Great- Britain. They were
for adopting this then only as a substitute
for, or as a flepping done to, the one the,
wished. They expected, from from the
popularity of Feßeralifm, that the warm ad
vocates for the Constitution, would be elec
ted the administrators of it, and that then en
croaching by imperceptible drgrees on the
rights retained by the States, and by forced
conftruaions of the several parts of the Con
stitution too loosely expressed, to progress in
security, till at length they should attain the
object of their wishes. But they were
checked in their hopes, in some degree, by a
circumstance not to be avoided ; it was ne
cessary to have for the First Magistrate, a
man whose popularity and influence with
the People would give Strength to the Con
ftitption, and Washington was the man ;
but he was so much of a Republican that he
was a great retarder of their progress, and
it was with great difficulty he was induced
to accede to many of their plans.
Under the firft four years of his administ
ration they progressed slowly, although they
early introduced into our Statute-book exa&
copies of British laws and Statutes ; many of
them were objected to on the part of the
Republicans, and several of them became
fubjedsof newspaper animadvefion, particu
larly the funding system, so called, and this
for various reasons, as refpeaing its justice,
its equity and its policy ; but especially as
from its intricacy, it gave rife to (peculation
on the variety of the funds thus eftabliShed,
to the great detriment and even ruin of ma
ny unfufpeding, honest citizens ; and that
it met with opposition on these accounts,
ought not to have been unex peded by the
proposers of it, especially when followed by
duties and excises in rapid succession, exact
ly after the example of Great-Britaio, alter
their revolution of 1688, when we made
known to them the evil consequences of
such a system to them, and which was fore-
