Federal “ Love of Order !"-
TRENTON, MARCH 7. e
On Monday last a scene was witnessed in this
place, which, to the honor of our country, we be
lieve has been hitherto imparalelled.—lt was a&-
ed by men calling themselves " Friends of Order r'
Mr. Thomas Paine had arrived the Thursday be
fore at Bordenton. On the Monday following
accompanied by. Col. Joseph Kirkbridge, he came
on in a chaise to this place, intending here to take
a feat in the flage for New-York, where he was
going in haft to fee Mr. Monroe previous to his em
barkation for France. On their arrivalin Trenton
they drove directly to Gen. Bloomfield's where
they dined.—After dinner Col. Kirkbridge went
to the stage office of Capt. John Vootbies to en
' '^age 3 passage for his friend to New-York. Capt.
vootbies candidly told him, “ he'd dam'd if Tom
Paine should go in his flage !" and gave as bis
reason that Paine was an infidel or deist !—Col.
Kirkbridge next went to the stage office of Mr.
John Vandegrift, where he met with a like refu
fal, in similar language, for the fame reason. Mr.
Paine then concluded to go on to New. York in
his chaise ; and was accordingly just getting in,
with Col. Kirkbridge, who was going with him
to put him in the right road at the head of the
Town, when a large mob was perceived by the
'City Tavern, and a drum began playing the
rogue's march. Mr. Paine discovered not the least
emotion of fear or anger, but calmly observed
that such conduft had no tendency to hurt his
feelings or injure bis fame, but rather gratified the
one and contributed to the other. His friend and

An elderly Farmer called at this office the
other day to fubfsribe for a paper,—ln the
course conversation he declared himlelf no
party-man, but disliked the Federalists for
uniting with and supporting the Old Tories.
---It was observed to him that many of the
Old Tories were now good citizens, and
some of them had become friendly to our
government. —" This may be true, replied
he,---but I don't like to trust them—they
deserted us once at a trying hour ; and I
never knew a horse that baulk'd once, but
he would always yfy back when it came to a
tight pull !"---T.Amer.
THEREBY notify and earnestly
A -L requelt the Rateable inhabitants of said
town to exhibit to them just and true Invoi
ces of all their taxable property according to
law, the feleamen will meet every Thurs
day evening at the Town Hall in the Brick

them until the twenty third day of April next.

towards the croud, which separated fd as to let
them thro' but endeavored to frighten the horse
by beating of tte drum, swinging their hats, ano
hallooing. The horse betrayed a momentary ter
ror but immediately sprung forward, and carried
hit riders fafe through. Col. Kirkbridge accom
panied Mr. Paine to the head of the town, and re
turned.—Mr. Paine proceeded on to New-York,
where he has lince arrived,

A Federalist was lately enquiring of a
refpe&able old Gentlemen, which of the
parties he belonged to ? " I was, (repli
ed the old gentlemen,) a WHIG in the war
time, and I never wore a turn'd coat in my
life \"-ib.
Now there is a lure and easy way to avoid
this embarrassment $ that is, whenever you
perceive this skipping dance beginning,
only fland fill, and let the other party
pass. Bal.
A person who witnessed the late Riot in
Trenton on the departure of Mr. Paine,
observed, that tho' the Democrats were cal
led “ the Swinish Multitude," the Feds ac
ted like the greatej? Brutes !
One skips aside to give the other the
way ; and the other, as if both had received
an ele&rical (hock, skips in the fame direct
ion, so that they exaaly meet and nearly
strike their heads together. Half confufed
by his disaster, they leap together to the oth
er fide of the way, and again meet, cheek
by jowl. 1 have seen a gentleman and a
lady dance this figure, till, in the words of
Milton, " Confufion became worse confoun
ded."
