People of New-Hampshire!
_Be on your guard! !
i
The Electioneering Campaign is just com
mencing ih Newhampfhtre —Federal men
begin to travel their pilgrimage from the
Morth and from the welt to the Metropolis,
like the Mahomedans to Mecca, to pay their
devotions at the Jbrine of Toryifm, arid take
their annual electioneering orders from the
leaders of the infuriate fe&. Several of
those birds of passage are now perrigrenating
to enlighten and inform the " fyinifh mul
titude," as the “ well-born" MOBILITY are
pleased to call THE PEOPLE ! Ygli
will hear thole tools of a party, those Ctta
tures of a desperate fa&ion, those tar-wigs
of federalism, spouting in our country tav
erns and at their fire sides against the consti
tuted authorities of their country, ag^inft
Republicanism, against thq Prefiderit and
those in lawful authority who are friendly
to his economical, wife, liberal, and mag
nanimous measures—measures which have
already reduced the public debt millions of
dollars, saved millions to the people, reliev
ed them from unnecessary taxes; and dif
graceful Stamp Acts, Excises, and. Sedition
Laws, and rid them of a numerous horde of
useless officers, who were preying on the vi
tals of the Republic. Such are the patriot
ic men and measures which these magpies
of federalifm chatter againft.moft vocifer
oully.- They assert with an impudence pe
* culiar to unbluihing Toryifm, that the pre
sent administration has run the c&ptry mil
lions into debt — have squandered the people's'
money —have fold the bank Shares below
•think it rcafonable, that a Hackman, whose
carriage is his only means of ttiaintainance,
Ihomd pay the fame on this article as the
man who keeps a pleasurable- carriage, and
has ^n income of 10,000 dollars to sup
port it ? 1
,' s ' n ^ u ' ar , that those who flile them
selves rederalifts ever pretend to be led by
by Gospel principles, and arc so devout
a ',. to incorporate religion with their
polnicy they claim an exclusive character
attachmens to the Chriflain system ; yet
there is no book extant, which so completely
counteracts their political tenets. Our Sa
viour seemed to seek occasion to reprobate
a:1 those who made a trade of their piety ;
his sermon on the Mount, and every remark
he made, were peculiarly levelled at those
bodies who exercised sovereignty over the
people from their pre-eminent fandity, or
pretended to render to Cajar more than others.
Is it not remarkable, that our Saviour Ihonld
cfpy a Widow with her mite, amidst the
crouds who surrounded the Treasury ; that
he should call his Disciples to him, and so
minutely (fate the quantity (he had given in
tpal he should overlook with indifference the
tirge firms paid by the rich, and felea a
poor woman as the object of his notice, who
was the least regarded by the money-holders
who accompanied her f He did not make
his observations indiferiminately to his audi
ence ; as he knew the prejudices of the peo
ple in favor of those who make great pro
feffions of their liberality towards religious
and civil inflitutiens ; but he called his Dis
ciples unto him, and privately gave them a
hint to beware of hypocrites, and infilled
into them, as radical principle, that the
poor or middling interest always paid their
lull proportion of the public taxes. This
'being a day to pay into the Treasury, and
having an opportunity to fee the process of
the bnfinefs, he took occasion to give this
le^ure to his Disciples ; but if he had seen
the group who probacy the next day went
to receive their demands, pollibly, he would
have been as .particular in designating some
individuals for the quantity they received, in
proportion to the sum they have paid, as he
in describing the widow and her small pit
tance.
To conclude, the foregoing remarks are
not intended to make an invidious distinc
tion between the rich and the poor. In so
ciety, the former are to be rkpeded, and
the latter regarded. A levelling principle is
not the object contemplated but that each
individual fliould feel his just weight in the
community The observation are made to
check the arrogance of a certain " sea,"
Who pretend to claim an exclusive priviledge
from their property ; who endeavor to de,
preciate those who are not pofleffed so large
ly of this world's goods as themselves ; who
claim all the religion, all the knowledge, all
the patribtifm of the country, and who des
pise the poor, for their mite towards the
Support of government. But our Saviour
has given them a good lesson, which the pre
sent administration is endeavouring to follow
and which we are persuaded will be appro
ved by Heaven. The Impost being ade
quate to all the purposes of government un
der the economical system adopted, the Mer
chant, Tradesman, Farmer, warworn Sol
dier, or the poor Widow, are not required
needlessly to pay even a Hide into the treasury.
.OLD-SOUTH.
, The Feds, are everlaftingiy vaunting of their
pollening all the talents of the, Rate. Yet their
party in the Assembly are every day guilty of
follies and inconfiflencies that a fcbobl-boy would
blufli to commit. Not long since, a petition was
preferred to tieHoufe frohi the republicans of this
place, containing a number of salutary but unpala
table truths, concerning the late election in Tren
ton, and the conduct of the Committee of Election
in regard to the petitions from Maidenhead. The
federlihs took fire at this impeachment of their
committee, and passed a vote of censure on the
petition. The very next day this vote, was revok
ed, and expunged from the Minutes! They in
ftrutted their Conunittee to report a Congress
flexion Law;on a general principle, and when so
reported, everyman of them ' voted against it !—

Peirce. In this work, the many evils atten
dant on quackery is strikingly pourtrayed,

But we mult tell them flatly, there is not
so much as a shadow oftruth in any of those
bug-bear reports : The bank (hares belong
ing to the United States have been fold by
the " Genevan Secretay," it is true; not at
par, but he fold them under the authority of
a law of the union, and at forty-five
per cent, above the nominal value—The
money of the people has been laid out ; but
not in paying useless officers for doing noth
ing, but to pay up previous contrasts, to di
minish the public debt, and defray the ne
ccffary expenses of a frugal administration. —
'I he public vellels hive some of them been
fold, but it was by order of a law which
was palled before the present administration
came into power —that the naval (lores are
felling at a third of their value ; or that
Thomas Paine is going to destroy the chrif
tian religion ; are, idle vagaries which every
ideot is left to the liberty of believing !
The Republicans mill remain vigilant, and
firm on the /Patch-Tower Their cauJe is

Hampshire. [Concord Rep.
Mr. Gallatin has been persecuted under the op
probrious name of a French renegado, and every
epithet that malice could invent. And now mal
ice begins to (mile, because it appears that he came
from the belt families of his ancient R epublic, and
that he was early inftrutted in all the wisdom
which belonged to the greatest men Europe could
ever afford. Why fliould men who make great
Pretentions to high birth, to nobility, and to liber

when they combine so honorable in theperfon who
