While contemplating this fybje&, upon this ex

In this date of things, gentlemen, remember

whom you cleft -as the Representatives of your

therefore, let me caption ynn against a body of

Stith characters you have,in the foegiflature, arid
. fitch men will be active in the choice of Electors.
Beware of th# designs, and mark with a pointed

will attempt tpimpofe on you the name of Adams,
while Pipd&tetffe their avowed object. Be care
ful that none of this Junto are afoong the electors,

Centtuel, which has publfthfal their names a few
months fin#. This party aTe endeavoring to de,

If they aeromplifh their plans, jt will be " a matter
