. POLITICAL RETROSPECT.
FOR THE YEAR 1801.
FIGHTING, bluflering, running fcamp'ririg,
Minitiers with senate tamp'ring ;
Frenchmen ardent, Dutchmen glum
Allies treacherous, Britons MUNU
Slaves for liberty contending ;
Graceless zealots faith defending ; +
Patriots, friends to truth and reason
Deem'd the advocates of treason.
Kings, the cause of kings declining,
With republicans combining;
Bishops men to war exciting ;
Popes wjtkproieftants uniting:
Honor, virtue, truth decaying ;;
Princes from their spouses faying ;
Statesmen big with airy vifiohs,
Taxes, loans, and requisitions.
Haughty arrogance rewarded';
Modest merits dl^egarded :
Honed z^l and wrfdom g-own
Oat of falhion and unknown.
Bribing, threat'niQg, flattering, jeering;
Rioting, electioneering.
Warm addresses, fair profeffions,
Coalitions and concessions.
Peace from Britain Bill retiring,
Public credit fart expiring j
Ruin o'er our heads Suspended,
Prudence curb'd, and war extended,
- ^arafc-d—«m=
TRUE AFRICAN WIT.
Old Cato, on his death-bed lying,
Worn out with.work, and almost dying,
With patience heard his friends propose
What bearers for him they had chose ;—
There's Cuff and C&far, Pomp and Platy ,
"Dey trill do berry well," quoth Cato,
And Bantam Philips—nowfoe t'odder,
We mull take Scipio, Bantam's brother,
<'l no like Scip," old Cato Cries,
"Scip rascal—tell about me lies,
" And get me whi'p'd,"— Ki, 'tis all one,
Sci, shall be bearer, Scip or none.
c< Mind (quotirCato), if dat cor,
“ Dat Scip, come bearer, I wont 'tir !"

WE have often heard of persons beirtg ready to
die for love, and Sometimes for joy and grief.
A man who carries on the blue dying bufmefs in
Stockbridge is ready & willing to dye for money.
AS old Gubbin Was fed by his son from the
tavern- one muon-light evening, he raised his
foot to rtep over the shadow of a sign poll.
What's^his Maid the old man—Nothing but a
sign, fa*id Jack. Si—sign—sign of wharf flam- #

Fine times, Jemmy ; I hear yty matter has
grown quite independent. To be fare he has;
and Iww can he help that ; for he has nothing to
depend upon. But 1 mean that he is rich, and lives
merely upon the interest of his money. He mere
ly lives, to be fore; and faith I believe it is on
the interefl of his money ; for the principal lias
been gone this long time, to my knowledge.
Black velvet always appears to have been a fa-l,
vorite with the ladies. It hasdately beenemploy-!
rd to compose a falhionable bonnet : formerly it
formed a very essential, and indispensable part oft

TO REPUBLICANS..
This work js designed to cliffemipate Truth a
mong the deceived and uliiiiturn:ed part of year
fellow citizens ; to wipe cff the mitts of delusion
from the eyes of those who are led astray by the
toes of the Rights of Man, and lay open to view
the designs, arts and intrigues of such characters,
and to amuse and edify those uhd have enlisted
under the banner's of Republicanism, as defenders
of the liberties of their country, agaiurt arbitrary
and unjust persecution. Having already received
very liberal encouragement, the Proprietors flat
ter :hemfeh'e's that the undertaking will prove,
fuccefsful, if patronized by yon, whole hands have
been often ourfhetcEed to support the foundation
of American freedom, againi tthe intrigues of a
powerful,ariftocracy,' who have endeavored by
, misrepresentation, unconstitutional and improper
. laws, large bodies of mercenary troops, &r. &c.
to Subvert the firft principles of your government,
and render the tonrtifution ufelefs,.in order that
one more confident with their wifcs, might be
, reared tip on its ruin 3. The eharaQers and con
ouQ of all ranks arc. degrees of Citizens, m ill e
ver ue refpecled, and nothing shall be admitted in
the pages of the Patriot?, which may introduce
eitherto pt<bric view, unkfs their pursuits evince a
dfpolition to sap the plan'orn)of Republicanism,
when, every meafcre will be taken to warniis
friends of the approaching danger, and all re
ilraint dispensed .with, in ofder that the foes of
; Columbia, may feel the hfli of a vh^ant and faith
ful Sentinels Advertisements will be excluded,
unless of real importance to the Republican inter
