largest of any on the continent, te
be diftrib^ted, without pay, thro'
all the States east of the Hudson,
was evidence in itfelf, that the
projectors and supporters of a
press, to be conduced in a man
ner so contrary to all precedent,
and creating and accumulating
an expense incalculable to its
promoters, had some very uncom
mon object in view. Some wife
men, at the time,, supposed it a
plan of a combination of Federal
i/ls, of the description just men
tioned, who, difappoinred in the
late national election in the ex
pectation of ever bringing the
whole Union into their views, still
conceived, that if they could cre
ate a division, between the Nor
thern and Southern States, that
they cbtild carry their purposes,
with that portion whom they could
infatuate, and seduce into a repa
ration. But this supposition at
firft did not gain extensive credit,
from the idea that such a scheme
could emanate, only from the
freakifh brains of some weak
headed Desperadoes ; that men,
whose abilities, as political fefta
rifts, were fufficient to make them
dangerous, would be too con
scious of the impra&icability of
accomplishing the object, to at
tempt it. Yet, incredible as it
then appeared, it is now general
ly believed, that men, capable of
arranging such a system, and of
persevering in it, men of hopes,
as bold as the design, have engag
ed in this daring Conspiracy :
And the belief, while it has add
ed one more to the grades of hu
man villainy, has weakened the
doCtrine of general salvation—it
has unhinged even the charitable
faith of the Univirsaust I&QP
But the matter of the paper proves
even more, than the plan upon
which it was instituted, or manner
in,hich it is circulated. Who
' ever will take the trouble to ex
amine its files, will observe that
the main drift and tenor of its
best written publications, are to
excite the prejudices of New
England against the Southern
States. There is an unremitting
attention paid to this point, which
shews that the Editors have had
their inftruftions, that this is the
great object, to which their most
/serious labours are to be devote
ed. But, amid long columns in
favoi of Monarchical and Hierar
chical, and against Republican
Governments, to give the paper
an appearance of candour, and
correctness of reasoning, there
are sometimes solemn arguments
brought forward, with much whin
ing hypocrisy, to contest princi
ples that nobody advocates, and
to maintain propositions that no^
body disputes.

CT For Eleaioneeriog purposes, the To

an session of the General Court of this
State—This is a plauGble pretence ;
but it is lefe falfe, than plausible— it
is raffed up, at this time, to catch the
attention of the People, to induce
them to vote for Fetferaliftsas the only
men governed by the principles of E
conotny ;—The People are cautioned
not to be deceived ;— Economy is not
the rial cause, why those men voted
for but one session—The cause is a far
different one—They were aduated by
another motive —They were afraid of
the spread of Republicanism—These
federalifts, (whose principals are the
Old Tories) were afraid that the Peo
ple of Newbampfoire would too f,on
revert back to the firft principles of
th. Revolution — they were afraid that
themselves would too soon meet the
^ raerited tontempt of long insulted, in
engornt Freemen—They were jfraid
that the Citizens of Newhampihire,
ftilla&uated by the Love of Equal Li
berty, Law and Justice, which sau
aud them in 1776 to throw off the ty
ranny of Great Britain, would induce
them again to rejed their ancient en
emies—ln a word, the Federalists were
afraid, that if the Geneia! Court held
a second session this winter, the New
Bank would be incorporated — They
knew that Justice was for it ; they
knew that the Voice of the People of
Newhampfhire called loudly for it.—
This was the najon, the real cause, of
their voting for but one session, and the
fame fear of the rapid increase of Re
publican principles, induced them to
adjourn the session at Hopkinton, be
fore they had tranfa&ed the public bu
siness which called for legislative at
tention. The following extraas from
the Keene.paper, (thence copied into

THE General Court completed their fef
fion at Hopkinton on the 17th inst. It
may be matter of furprize to some, that
the short period of 12 days Ihosld afford
fufficient time for tranfaaing the public
business of the prefeot year ; but motives
of high importance induced our legisla
ture to curtail its usual time. While ma
ny of our filler Rates are falling a facri
fice to the delirium of the day, [Q/^ de.
lirium if Fuhralife,] and are losing the
strong hold of federalifm ; [wbicb is, J,-
iag interpreted, terjifa,] Newhampfhire,
proud of her inheritance, has hitherto
preferred her independence untarnished ;
but the occurrences of the prefeot year
have given the alarm [tbeguil, tad no ac
enfers) to the friends of good government
[#@g Monarch)] —At the eleaion of
Mr. Jefferfon, \tbe toriee «u;ill newer for
give bim] his parasites in this state affam
ed a bolder tone, & looked forward with
confidence to a complete triumph—to
secure this every effort was made atPortf
mouth, Dr. Goddard, by far the most
sensible man of the party, [Dr. G. is a
man of bigb merit, but tbt Keene writer is a
parafae] was eleaed Senator, and John
Langdon a Reprefentative— [,ebn Lang
dm bus filled the office of firft Magifratereitb
a faldry of but 500 dollars, mitb as mueb rep.
Matian as an, man ever did in N. H.]—at
the assembling of the General Court, up
wards offprty new members were found
to attend- ; thefe were assailed with so
much success, that many members fell a
facrifice — [that is, tbs,joined the Republi
cans, and voted for tbs New Bank] —ln the
trial for fpeakef, however, Mr. Langdon
was foiled ; but this wab of but small
consequence to them compared to other
obje&s—Their great desideratum is^he
Newhampihire Union Bank—This occa
sioned much debate, but whether Jaco
bin principles, or deception, prevailed
the most, we are not able to decide— a
majority in the house were in favor of it
—but the Senate NOBLY rejected it—
={tbe question was loft b, 2 Senators, nob,
overbalanced 25 Representatives, and decided
again, ,#,<# and tbe Cotfitutta, when a
Majority of more than 20 of tbe whole Legis
lature wore for it—fbis was federalism with
a vengeance—this was tbe noble retain]—
To procure the incorporation ,of this
bank, every art has been exhausted. The
Federal Plagiarism.
firft obje&oa to it is, that THE PRO
PRIETORS are ALL JACOBINS! !!
[lt is a FACT, that the proprietors of this
New Bank are Republicans ; and the princi
pals are tbe VERY men <wbo fought again.
Great Britain, and eftabhfad ear prefont
Republican form of Government— -tbeje are
tbe Men, tbe WHIGS of '76, whom an in
jignificant majority of 2 bas impedes,, de
cid<d,jbril not let mods,,(Silver and Gold !)
fa, stbe det,able refraining art ! while at
the fame time, tbe enemies of Liberty, tbe ver,
eld Tories; who oppofrd tbe Glorious Revolu
tion, tbtfe are not onl, granted tbs privilege of
loaning Bank Bills, without limitation, in
tbe,ate, bat, to crown tbe imptftion, tbt, are
permitted to issue p a „ r kg, payable only at
Philadelphia! Wilfjh^People countenance
such ingratitude, such abominable Injfyce,
b, a Re- Election of tbe anthers ? Surely not]
—/he next obje&ien is, that we are not
of commercial importance enough to re
quire two banks ; [O, madnejs of federal
ism ! It bae been repeatedly affirted, and ne
ver vet denied by tbe Tories, that mere than
half tbe Commerce and Navigation of oxr
Metropolis, is conduced and owned b, the pro
prietors a, tbe New Bank ; and ft is well
known, 4bat the, have keen, rfof/d difteunts
at tbe Old Bank, kecauje tbe, wen jacobins I
betaujo, in faa, tbe, were Whigs, a^d tbe
N. H. Bank was sender tbe guardiafoip of
inveterate Tories ! If, then, she minor part
of Commerce is of importance enough to require
tbe exclusive benefit of tbe N. IL Bank, cer
tainly th, m&jor part mu, need another bank
as much—What, then, Jball we think of our
" mo, excellent Governor," who APPROV
ED tbe diabolical; ancon,itutional Refrain
ing na, wbieb deprived a large portion of
bis fellow citizens of theirju, Rights ? was
bis intention pure, was bis mind ferine ; bad
be tbe good of all tn view ; or did bis honest
heart condemn tbe deed, when bis trembling
band placed bis approving signature to tbe
art, which will forever ftaiu tbe annals of
Newham,Jhire? Qb! that some Guardian
Angel bad drops a tear upon tbe name, and
blotted it from tbe art forever] —and a third
objedion is, that the Jacobins only with
ir to furnifh them with cash to perchafe
proselytes. [This isj«dging by tbe Federal
flandaed; ergo, it may vary a little from tbe
Truth !] But while the evils of the Ma
nhattan bank Rare us in the face, [this
bank was eftablifad for tbspurpo, cf water
ing tbe Ci, of Newyork ; as it furnifbes the
Republicans with lalh water, we are not
jurpriztd that our federal,; callit an evil,]
it is to be hoped we lhall avoid the re
dundancy of paper money which it would
produce. [Tbejefederal wiseacres are deep-
Jkilled in tbe fctence of redundancy ; the N.
H. Bank bas produced an unprecedented Re
dundincy—fee tbe hills on Philadelphia !]
Another grand objed with the jaco
bins was, to have our Senatorial D ibias
new modelled. [This is a Duty, pointed
out by tbe Confutation !] For which pur
pole they bro't forward a bill, in which,
under the specious pretence of having
property equally represented, the diftrias
were so formed as to give them a moral
certainty of a majority in the Senate.—
This passed in the house, but was non
concurred. Thus the better part of our
representatives,finding that the great aim
of the jacobins, in every instance, was to
assist their own cause, terminated tbe ses
sion with all possible speed; judging that
our present fit nation was preferable to
the danger of making new laws. Too
much praise cannot be given to a majo
rity of the Senate, who adhered firmly to
their duty, and foiled every attempt of
Democracy. [Shame 'on tbefurf, feder
al,;, who fled precipitately from their poss,
through fear of tbe Jacobin infaence .')
This Keene account of the last session
of the Honorable Court, does not reflea
much honor to the despairing " Sea"—
It winds up with a keen, at lie about Mr.
Langdon, ele sing with a pious ejacula
tion, " that Newhampihire may be the
last place under heaven that is revolution
ized !' ' CT Spurious Federalism will die
bard in Newbampfare • ,but die it mu, !It
is in tbe la,,age of a Galloping Confum,-
tion ; and mu, ,raggle bard to live out tbe
Ides of March.
