IN a late communication the public were
favored by a fellow citizen, with his tho'ts
upon the- momentous topic of Union at
the enfoing election, who took occasion to
press upon the attention of our fellow citi
zensof New-Hampshire, their favorite can
didate,
Col. John Langdon,
as it were the rallying point of Union in this
state. The very model! and sincere recom
mendation of that worthy republican can
only be judged of by refleQing whether he
does not amply merit the commendation and
apphufe bellowed upon him, and whether
we have not every reason and confidence,
but assurance ; that (whilst the other dates
in the Union are adopting those tneafutes of
conciliation, and coming down from the
lofty Reps of their aristocratic edifice,
" which the craft and devices of a tew
Quixotic Marquiffes had loudly and proudly
reared in their puffed up imaginations," to
meet the plain and sober, much injured A
merican people, resuming their rights in that
tranquility and peace the justice of their
cause will always affilt and enforce, in re
claigning loft rights) the citizens of New-
Hampshire will not fuffer themselves one
,ear or one hour longer to be alienated from
union, isolated among the Hates as the lafl,
or even be backward in the great and glori
ous opportunity now afforded, of averting
and placing the limple principles of our
constitution upon the never failing founda
tion of our freedom and independence —
" shal l the reptile monster, who in the bo
som of his country, at this very day, vilely
boasts that New-Hampshire was the last to
join against their unnatural mother, when
she was gorging herfelf upon her unprotea
ed children." Shall such a black traitor and
" his traitorous band, difeomfit our hopes, dis
concert our noble plans, and chain down
the hardy offspring of New-Hampfliire to
the infamous all-corrupted and corrupting,
blighted system of the junto—forbid it Hea
ven ! that we mull Hill drag on the length
ened chain of oppreflion and perfection to
which the Tons of liberty have lately been
Acre the violated principles of that cenftiw
lion by which yon have agreed to be govern
ed. It #$ yuir prerogative, and it is no less
your dufy to-enquirc into these things, and
to withhold jour future ruffrages from those
who h6e (ported with your confidence ; —
remeijißr that it is always 'dangerous to a
republican government to continue rhe fame
inen song in office ; flattered by repeated
appointments, that which at firft was re
ceived with gratitude as a favor from your
hands, is at length arrogantly claimed as a
right ; absorbed in their own ambitious
viffws, the interests of their constituents be
came a matter of secondary confidcration, &
, e always in danger when in competition
With their own. Our real enemies are not
numerous, but they are fubtil and persever
ing. h has been, and probably will con
tinue to be, their pra&ice to fend out their
emissaries among you, and you are in danger
of being deceived by them. Republicanism
in New-Harr,pflfre is not dead, but sleeps ;
let us rouse then from our flupidity before
it be too late, and (hew our fixed resolution
to preserve in purity the blessings of that in
dependence tor which our fathers and breth
ren fought and bled, and to hand them
down inviolate to succeeding generations.

subjugated !—Thefe tories in this state, as
is fairly laid, aim at your disunion, Let
any man run over the late debates in Con
gress, where the feds ihemfelves do not dis
guise, but exprtfs their apprehensions that
there are persons in the Eafern dates who
would be mos forward to disunite us ; at leaf!
so much may be collected from Mr. Bay
ard's speech—look at the debates again and
fee the old dale, worn-out inventions of ep
ithets and names, to mislead, to deceive and
to seize upon your understandings—A fed
eral member speaks of those people who
were firft called Jacobins ; then a little foft
er name, nearer the truth, a Democrat —and
then they call themjehes (observe, they call
themselves) Republicans—" an inlidious com
pliment is transferred to that noblest of titles
which will survive the wreck of empires ;"
and I sincerely believe that man born in A
merica to be a traitor, who is not a republi
can ; and that there is no difficulty to prove
him so, time has and will prove him so.
To such pitiful fhifts are these haughty gen
try now reduced ! they cannot elude the vi
gilance, precaution, the prudence and pat
riotism of a solid republican ; his principles
ire the elements ot the conftitution,to guide
us and support us like the elements that fur
ruuTd and afford us sustenance. How point
edly, how pertinently does the Republican
ter y in the fame debate, You called your-
JeKes Federalists , that is, you never were
federalifis in the conflirtnional sense of the
word ; you are diforganizers and difauiters.
You then were called arifo:rats, and what
are they but diforganizers and difuniters—
let the hiftory of France and the present o
penuig feene in England confirm it—but
you are now not only called, but known to
be rark Royalists—of which there are a
precious set in the state of New-Hampshire
—thanks to an over-ruling Providence they
IdEn fall—but, mark the insidiousness of
these tories—-firft they call you, that are re
ally republicans, Jacobins, that is as they
mean, cut-throats, pioneers of (edition, op
pofers of good government, and lead you to
believe every republican brings with him a
Frenchman in his hand to cut your throats
arid violate your wives and daughters—then
as Mr. Van Nefs, neatly and satirically
fays, “ they call themfclves Federalifls" —
" triends to the constitution” and the Union.
'A specious and fair founding title for an A
merican, and does the real federalift honor,
out not the tory in heart. Now let me elk,
Since Mr. Jefferfon's administration, if we
have had one throat cut ; or heard of a Sin
gle Frenchman other than as a friend to you
and your country r or, if from one end
of the Union to the other, every Amer
ican would not rife to repel and effectu
ally repel the aggreflion of a Frenchman as
soon as an Englishman ; except the Tories,
who would be very glad to introduce the
English, or what is worse, English money,
to corrupt you to fell your dearest birthright.
However, federalist or jacobin, the inven
tions of the authors and pursuers of the sys
tem of terror like their parent terror, are
now no more ; their corrupt patronage, the
judiciary tools gone the fame way, nine mil
lions of people in England have twelve judges
for (one may justly fay) near half amil
lion of causes—tire " slaves" of the U
nited States of America have no less than
thirty eight new additional judges with an
additional tax of 130,000 dollars, for about
700 or 800 causes, demonstrated to be just
as useless as so many old women. How
changed from 1775 and 1776 !—Think for
yourselves, not hipeificially, but rationally,
not with a fa&ioi), nor the abettors of a
faction, but like an independent Republican
—Judge Walker has resigned in favor of
the present candidate ; they are both good
men, as he remains, it remains to fee what
patriotism will do ; when exerted in faVor
of that firm patriot
Col. JOHN LANGDON,
to secure his election, and So far Secure us
the blessings of the republic.

til the firft day of Jure next ; but that all taxes
