The disgraced Secretary ^^d to have been the
prime adviser of bhe late measure of turning every
man out of office, who did not mould his opinions
to the fafhion of the day. While erecting the bed
of Procrustes in the cabinet of the President, little
did he think of, being so soon flretched ouithimfelf.
But such has beet? the fate of inflated projectors in
all ages. The inventor of the Guillotine, is num
bered among its firft victims—Tho' foreraoft in
driving from public employment, all those tried
and faithful fefivants of the people, who disdained
'to receive the lordly dictates of power, for the
standard of sentiment ; when it came to his own
turn, the Secretary displays a spirit, below the
dignity that ought ever to attach itfelf to the pof
fellion of so high an office. Advised by tlie Presi
dent to resign an appointment dependent on the
will of the executive, he endeavors to shield him
felf from his impending fate, with the paltry pre
tence, that the welfare of the country was flaked
on his continuance in office. Mirtaken man !
not to know that the general voice of all parties
had long demanded mis difmiffion.
But if not blinded by vanity and felf love, he
will soon difeover, that his official disgrace is class

Certain measures which have been recently a
dopted at the feat of government, have excited
such a spirit of bitterness between the Friends of
President Adams—and the vindicators of the late
Secretary, that there is hardly a member pt Con
gress of what has been called the federal party,
that has not with such violence espoused the cause
of the President or of Pickering, as to render them
inadequate to judge of public measures with that
coblnefe and candor, which the agents of the pub
lic ought at all times to exercife—lt has become,
for these reasons highly proper for the people in
order to do justice go themselves, at the approach
ing election of Senator and Representatives, to
make an entire new choice of fdeh men, as have
not been within the reach of these party quarrels.
Some of our members have been warm partisans
in this business, such surely are not the men at this
important crisis to be entrusted with business, in
which the honor and dignity of the President and
the peace of the country are in danger of being
facrificed to the resentment of an embittered par.
ty-.
Feono and Russel, in their usual jacobinical
style, threaten the United States with the horror,
of a CIVIL WAR, if Mr. Jefferfon should be elect
ed President by a legal and constitutional majori
ty of votes. This menace from the mouth-pieces
of the federojacobinico faction, mutt operate
more powerfully than volumes of argument to
convince the people at large how little that fac
tion value the constitution to which they have
long claimed an exclusive attachment. As long
a, by perverting nearly all those vehicles of infor
mation which ought ever to be devoted exclusive
ly to the sacred cause of truth, they could mislead
the people to co-operate in the deftru&ion
of their own liberties, and those of their posteri
ty, that faction affected to be the only support
ers of gear order and good government.
But now that the voige ofan injured country is
lifted up in judgement against them, and constitu
tional remedies are about to be applied to those
evils which the, have brought upon us, we hear
them openly renouncing their thread-bare doc
trines of passive obedience and non-refifance, and
boldly avowing their intention to oppose by force
of arms the will of the majority, legally and con
fQwonally expressed ! This is the spirit of mod
e^^to^ralifm —this is the spirit of disorganization.
Bj^nyk heaven the time is approaching when
we man have but little to fear from the workings
of this evil spirit—the returning peace of the coun
try declares for PEACE, LIBERTY and the CON
STITUTION—and the PEOPLE will frown into
ipfignificance the wretches who insult their virtue
and patriotism, by urging them on to a&s of law
less violence, anarchy apd confufion.
