t?We test week presented the denouncement of
Mr.Gallatin, we now present that of Mr. Brec
kenridge of Kentuckey, couched in terms, not the
most decorous to be sure, but not uncommon as
times go—" As they brew so they must bake" is an
honest but homely proverb, and applies with full
force to the inobocratic leaders in this country, Gab
latin commenced with broaching French principles
on the floor of Congress, and illustrated his theory
by an insurrection of the sovreign body# nobody was
like Gallatin, nobody so disinterested, so patriotic,
to zealous, so good. Now Gallatin is "an apostate''
and the promoter of insurrections." Gallatin
is DENOUNCED. John Breckenridge was first heard
of by introducing the motion to destroy the Judiciary
( System. Then rf°body Was like him, A '/great pate
riot" a wonderful man, he must be Vice President,
he w„ fie man of that day—now, nobody so infa
pods as John Breckenridge, a ''man 6f insatiable
ambition" a "canting hypocrite" a " malignant
fiend" "who will raise the standard of faction in the
government"—He is denounced. Now, how long are
the people of this country to be cajoled by such Pa
triots, France had them for a dozen years or more,
and after trying all their schemes was obliged at last
to dub a foreigner their Emperor and quietly sit
down under his despotic arm ! People of New^En.,

The "Patriot Senator "JOHN BRECKENRIDGE

Gazette, as an " apostate" from the cause of reftub

! The debates In the British Parliament continued
Sirited; ahd the parties nearly equally divided.—
r. Pitt, on entering on the duties of Prime Minis
ter, introduced a bill to give additional force to the
warlike attitude of tlie Kingdom:—The principal ob
ject was to augment the regular troops, thereby to
give the crown a -greater disposable force, and to
enable the Executive to engage in extensive offen
sive operations.—This plan was powerfully opposed,
not only by the old opposition, over which Mr, Fox
presides ; and from the new one led by Mr. Ad
dington, the late Prime Minister ; but was not sup
ported bv Mr. Pitt's former friends, I>ord Gren
vjlle, and Co.—Mr. Pitt, however, still carried
a majority of both houses with him and the division
in the House of Commons [June 18th] on the question
for engrossing the bill, was, for it 253, against it
223. Majority for Mr Pitt 42. Notwithstanding the
strength of the minority, Mr. Pitt With his usual
persistency was determined to carry the measure in
to execution :—But it was the opinion of well-infor
med people, in England, that he could not long sup
port himself against the powerful talents and num
oers opposed to him ; and that abroad-bottomed Ad
ministration must speedily be formed which willem
bace as large a proportion as passible bf the weight,
I talents and character of the public Men of all de
scription of politics.—Such an administration when
formed will be most likely to conclude an honorable
and permanent peace or give atigumented force to
the energies of war. LordGreenvile has assured
Mr. Pitt that unless such men us Mr; Fox, and
others of his partie, are admitted into the Ministry
be and his frehds could hot feel justified in taking
any part in it.

And CTi^mmate,anity, cotild prompt him ban,
thing ;" " as the ,upstart, the', mushroom of the day,
who because he has lost the domination for Vice-Pre
sident is for exciting discord and dissentien in every
part of the Union"—"The canting hypocrite," who
will incur all risque, run all hazards, and prostrate
the best interests of the United States in a scram
ble for an office"—" The malignant fiend, who to
promote his personal views, WILL RAISE THE
STANDARD OF FACTION IN THE GOVERNMENT."
.The Editor of the Kentucky Gazette,has also com
menced an inquiry into the conduct of this gentle
man.- " Mr, Breckenridge (says tie) may be inno
cent, I sincerely Wish he may—but the whole business
has an " awfulsquinting” —his conduct in eveiy part
'bears such analogy to that of Aron Burr's that there
is the strongest grounds to suspect him." "The re
putation of a man (he adds) should be handled with
the greatest caution—it should not Be touched but
upon important occasions, and a great presumption
of guilt. 1 should not have interfered but upon the
fullest conviction of Mr. Breckenridge's apostacy —
but under that conviction silence would be criminal."
Will you give them your strong and effectual
support, or will you by a cool and spiritless attend
ance at the Meeting, suffer men of entirely differ
ent characters to be chosen ;—it depends entirely
on yourselves. It is manifest.—There is nota man of
intelligence in the State, but believes it in your pow
er to elect these men : and you will do it, every one
niust move in his circle, and enlighten his unin
formed neighbours,—we shall act like men who
view the character of New-Hampshire at stake ;
and feeling a generous love for her fair fame, give
another triumph to the good old cause.

For the Oracle.
- Whether the Democrats of New^amp.
shire,have been more fortunate in formi± their Con
gressiorial Ticket for the^nsuing, than they were for
the last Election,must be left to events to determine.
It d> however desireable, if the Gentitfm on that
Ti^tet should "be chosen, that they tiity find it no
way inconvenient to repair to Washington, and that
they may not be under certain embarrassments,
which seriously affected particular Gentlemen, who
were candidates two years ago. 'Twere indeed a
pitv, if after all the trouble of getting chosen, a man
should find it less argeeable to him to go where laws
are ma de, than where they are av aided ; and ifCana
da should attract more strongly than Congress.—
It is not my intention to examine accurately the
characters on the Democratic Ticket, nor the claims
they have to seats in the National Legislature.
This subject, in any light in Which I can view it,
does not promise to be very copious. I do not think
Mr. Griswold himself could say much upon it. If
anv one asks, " who are they ?''—The satisfactory
answer is, one of them lives at Amherst, another at
Piermont, &c. Does he enquire for proof of
their Talents ?—Shame on his impoliteness, ! !!
When Judge Walker was Candidate for Gov
ernor, the convincing argument used in his fa
vor, was his central situation, and the standing
ing answer to every question concerning him, “ he
lives at Concord" —What is his ability ? He lives
at Concord—What are the tenor and tendency of
his politics? He lives at Concord—Has he liberal!-
ty^ magnanimity, and fitness far the Office ?—Un
doubtedly, he resides at Concord—The Judge's
house is not two hair's breadth from the precise
centre of the Staten-So I suppose if we were now to
inquire concerning the men in nomination whether
they are " honest, capable and faithful," we should
be told in reply, " look at Amherst, at Fitzwilliam,
at Gilnranton—cast your eye on the map, you will
find the Gentlemen's houses exactly in those five
points, from which five men ought to be chosen, to
represent the various interests of the State." But
possibly some voters may have so much unreasona
ble scrupulousness, and so mahy old fashioned pre
judices about them, as to inquire for the services
of the Candidates—their SERVICES ! I Look back
to the Spring Election, and behold those services!
They were, some or all of them Members of the
GkaNU Secret Committee—they formed a
part of the sub-legion under a “Grand Chairman."
This Honourable Chairman can no doubt satisfy
every rational man with respect to their services—
Come forward then, Hon. Sir, and tell us the
merits of these your friends— tell us how zealously
they labored to put Mr.Gilman out of the Chair,
and to put Mr. Langdon in it—how Colonels
and Justices became dexterous Electioneering
Squabblers, and how an Hon. Judge could shake
off the reverence of robes and put oh the speed of a
Post-boy, to circulate newspapers and attend cau
cusses—But be careful Sir to confine yourself to
the Ticket—Possibly you might like to do justice to
some others of the Electioneering Committee. Your
known partiality, for instance, towards Daniel
French, ahd Phillip M'Carrigain might very nat
urally lead you to record the achievements of
those modest and (as they call themselves) respect
table Gentlemen.* But another time may answer
for them—At present only say something, —and for
Heaven's sake, Sir, say all you can—in favor of
the Candidates on the Ticket.
Among other recommendations, it will undoubt
edly be said, that the Democratic list are great ad
miters of the National Constitution, and, if chosen,
will prove themselves ardent and powerful support
ers of it. Prominent among the Democratic candi
dates stands Judge Cogswell ; among the Fed
How different is the fate of the Federalists---the
great Hamilton when alive was every thing, am
tious, intriguing and dangerous, now when
death hits closed hie eloquent lifts in everlasting si
lence," none are more forward to do him justice
than the democrats.---So it is in our State. The
election of Messrs. Clagget and Hunt was op]>osed
by all the virulence & zeal of the party,—now when
they have retired, "they have displayed an "impar
tiality and magnimity" that does them honor. Oh !

&a! ^ «r. TgrtWtt Now Mr. Chairman of the
Crand Secret Committee of Election and Corres
pondent I will you not, in your official capacity, un
dert the to assure the Electors of New-Hampshire,
that Judge Cogswell was an early friend of the Na
tional Constitution, and that Mr. Tenney was its
early enemy ; that the forint' wrote and published
several papers in favor of adopting it, and that the
latter did the same against it ! ! ! —Dear Sib
pardon me ! I ought to have made this request to
Mr. Griswold, it would suit well with the hardi
hood and effrontery of his nature—But you are
not of his kind— J see the crimson in your face—
Political prejudices have not entirely seared the
conscience of an honest man. You feel the " sort of
your company." You see the inconsistency and mean
shirts to which they ard driven. Unless you are
misjudged, the connexion with them neither suits
you rft ride nor your conscience.
Let then the people of New-Hampshire know,
and let them carry it on their minds when they go
to town meeting, that soon after our National Con
stitution was formed, Mr. Tenney became its able
advocate, and in a series of sensible papers, with the
signature of Alfridus, recommended its adoption to
his fellow citizens ! kt them also know and remem
ber, that Judge Cogswell was strongly opposed to
it, and wrote several lumbers, in reply, to ^llfridus,
and with the view of persuading the people of New-
Hampshire to reject it ! I am not about to say that
the Judge was not honest in his opposition—l believe
he had objections not only to the form —but to the
principles of the Constitution !—These objections
are not removed—About two years ago (and proba
bly a hundred times before and since) he mentioned
that they pressed on his mind with as much force as
ever. The public mav attach as much consequence
to th# remarks as they see proper—of the truth
of them they mdy be assumed, and with me, they are
sufficient. At a time when, without obvious neces
sity, great changes are effected in the principles of
our Republican System, I cannot, as an individual,
reconcile it to a sense of duty to give my support
for a man, who would like to introduce other great
Changes in that system.
Whoever will sit down in the cool of the day, and
in the exercise of his sober reason inquire into the
causes of the unfortunate divisions in our country,
will find them,,on one hand, in that State Pride which
will never cease to encroach, and, on the other, in
that independent spirit, which is not disposed
to submit. The haughtiness of the great States
is rearing its crest against national interest—
Virginia, wherever she is, will govern—if she
cannot govern the Union, she will secede within
her own limits, and govern at home. At a late fes
tival in Richmond, the capital of that State, the fol
lowing Toast was drank—"may the magnitude
OF VIRGINIA BE THE BOAST OF THE SMALL
states" !—what does this mean ?—clearly it is a
proud, sovereign, contemptuous sneer—it is railing
at us, for our insignificance.*-It is saying to the
small States-—"you have nothing of your own to
boast of—boast then of our magnitude." It is
advising the slave to lick the chain that binds him.
It is inviting the little mouse to "boast" of the Mam
moth whose foot treads on him-—the small fish is to
sing peans to the shark that devours him. It is the
"magnitude of Virginia" swelled to excess by the
numbers of her blacks, that has driven a New-En
gland man from the Presidency, and New-England
maxims from the government—that has made the
Vice Presidency an article of sale, forever hereafter
to be struk off to the highest bidder—that is grind 4
ing the judiciary to powder,—suffering ottr navy to
rot in the mud—has given away fifteen millions for
'what we had no need of, and is appropriating other
millions for the protection of the purchase.—Have
we then cause to boast the "magnitude of Virginia,"
or will it be prudent to send men to Congress who
will give their votes to increase her influence ? But
perhaps the caution which is couched in this very
singular apd celebrated Toast may be salutary —if
we must be insignificant, it may be prudent -to do
homage, in season, to the powers above us. If th€
smaller States cannot support their rights,they may
as well not mention them—indignation boots us
nothing if we have not spirit and union enough a
mong us to seek redress. If we must be driven in*
to the pitfal of ruin, let us have the meekness to put
away resentment. Let us take the hint in season,
surrender our own consequence, and as our greatest
glory "boast the magnitude of Virginia."
