IN the remarks on the Lonifiana business
which have tor h>me weeks pah filled part of
the Balance, the cloven foot of tin: writer is
c.fi y difeerned. One of the inarms of this
modern Judas is a pretended ragaid tor" the
cause of virtue and religion," and the educa
tion of child^n. Hence, like his predeceifor
in the Bible, when speaking of an, expence
of money contrary to his with and direction,
he is apt to remark, in his whining manner,
how manvfeboo/s the money mignt lavee ta
blilhed; and thus it is that we see the calcula
tion how many schools the cost of Louisiana
would support. We cannot be underflood to
speak difrefpeatully of schools, for rapubli
cans are their best friends ; but the hypocri
tical affectation of regard form tnem we
would expose. This moral,political and his
torical writer, seems exceedingly afraid ot
the people of New England carrying <
their wealth and influence to the MdiiUppi,
Hethinks it wrong for a man to leave the
Spot of his birth to get rich, when he might
stay at home in poverty. Indeed, he lays the
United States possess too much P r °P ert y
already, it is too widely diffufed, and thould
be collected and concentrated, similar to
what we fee in England ; our territory, is
too extensive,and should be cmumlcnbcd, &
a&s pass d to prevent expatriation, and then
things would go right. " The men of large
capitals" would then shew us the good old
fashions of mother Europe ; one Ihoemeker,
one taylor, one printer, t and that the printer
„f the Balance) should monopolize all the
business of the town and neighboring coun
try, and the others of the trades depend on
them for employments I he- the manufactu
ring " capatals would not be dilfipated'
amongst a dozen or twenty petty individuals
in a village, but remain in the hands of a
few gentlemen, to whom the fimplemen
should look for bread. The farmers, too, are
too rith, or at least rich enough ; for any
addition of landed territory " would tend to
impoverish and weaken them, particularly
the large and extensive farmers in New-
England, the refpedabU and numerous pro-

prietory of 20, 50, 100 or 200 acres. In
deed, these people should be prevented from
migrating from Connecticut to the weltern
parts ot this State. The waggons which
are continually puffing through Hudson on
this route should be flopped & font back , &
the farmer who has multiplied from one to
three or four families, must continue on the
old homestead till one half of them are obli
ged toenlilt forfoldiers and the other to en
ter the manufactories of some ot^the gentle
men with- "undilfipaied capitals.,
Next appears the cloven toot again, the
cloke of benevolence and humaniniy—themes
delightful to the honest heart, honorable to
the sincere mind, but disgraced by all falfe
and hollow pretensions. Our efl'ay ill here
exclaims against the idea of cultivating °u
iiiana with ilaves, and profefles a wonderful
attachment to the rights and enjoyments ot
our African brethren. We deleft flaycry,
and we abhor the practice of charging a
writer with hipocrify when he advocates
the principles of liberty and justice, unless
the insincerity of his profeffions is apparent.
And this we confider the case of the writer
tender ramark. He would deny to the white
Haves of Europe, though famishing in mil
cry at home, the privilege of emigrating to
this land of peace and plenty; he even opposes
the idea of the yeomanry ot New England,
cn their jugged and contracted farms, re
moving to the fertile and spacious fields ot
the weft; yet be can fympathife with Afri
cans enslaved only in the imagination, and
flart at the bare suggestion of the idea in a
Speculative author. Judge, then, of the fin
cerity of this Sympathy, and the soundness ot
these pretensions. Let him renounce what
he has advanced oh the fubjed of anmutit,g
foreigners into this country,and let him illow
the propriety of cur own citizens removing
to whatever part of the country may be belt
celculated to promote their interest and hap
pinefs ; let his philanthropy pay some atten
tion to his " fellow creatures in Europe and
at home, and then we may admit of the pu
rity of his regards for the baplefs African.
On the whole, we can fee little in these
essays but a resolute endeavour in the writer

On PARTY NAMES.
WHILE party spirit and politial divifiort
exist in any country it is natural that the
opposite parties should ehdevbr to cast odium
on each other by dishonorable and opprobi
ous titles. It has been the lot of this happy
country to embrace, within its limits, con
• tending parties, which have attempted to
render each other unpopular by difgaceful
appellations; Amidst these endeavors, thd
federlifts have attempted to reder the repub
licans reproachful by a name, which, in it
felf is honorable and by no means materially
differs from the word republican ; 1 mean
democrat. But from what cause this pros
ceeds, whether from the candor, or from
the ignorance of the party, 1 am unable/ to
declare ; but the one or the other mull be
very great ; if, it proceed from candor, why
do not their other actions and writings dis
play the fame candid disposition ? Bin I ant
of the opinion that it proceeds frora the lat
ter. ./
The wordt>£MOCRACY is derived from
the Greek language, i.e. from foemos, the
people ; and, Craton authority Hence it
is evident that it conveys the /fame idea as
Republic ; which is drived ftom two Latin
words viz. Ri% government ; and, Publican
public or i opulur ; ikiefoft Democracy*
lignifies: "The ^uthority ^f the people,"&
Republic, " Public or^ p.>|u!ar govern
ment;" Which ate very ULlar.
Democracy has Gibing to do with
" puling these men (ffie Nobles) into a hold
by themfelves,and feeingtwo watches iipori
them ; a superior ,4 them all je.a King)
on one fide, and the people on the other ;"
as J. Adams ex^feffes himfelf, in his let
ter to S. Adaml No ; very far from it ;
