fittency and want of principle
among the federal party in this coun
try, more than their condemning the
murmuring of the republicans against
the measures pursued under the reign
of John Adams—-What at that time
would have doomed a republican to
the dungeon, state prison, or a fine, is
now considered as a praise worthy a&
in a federalift ; we hear those men
who were sparing no pains, who would
defeend to the despicable meanness
of eve-dropping, in order to catch an
unguarded word from those who tho't
unfavorable to the then measures of
government, that they might have an
opportunity to complain, and by that
means gratify their perfecutingdifpo
fition. These men, to the shame and
disgrace of the party, are now among
the firft to calumniate and propagate
the most bare-faced libels, not only
against the measures of government,
but the President also. Ifthefe once
pretended lovers of order, would give
themselves one moment's reflexion,
'they would at once fee the ridiculous
inconsistency of-their condu&, and
cease from their wanton attacks on
'Hfca^iJiifi^
FROM THE AURORA.
WHY do the Tories admire the Brit
ifb government so much, and hate all
those that abominate its perpetuity of
and accumulation of oppressions ?
Is it because they have a king who
takes every hour from the people for
his own use or abufe,as much as would
maintain an American family a year?
Is it because he has 46,000 offices
of great emolument in his gift, for
which the labour of the poor at home,
or the plunder of nations abroad, mutt
pay? # ,
Is it because there is an eftablilhed
church, to the support of which, the
quaker, and the methodist, the pres
byterian, & the Jew m^ contribute ?
1 Is it because there are ten or twelve
4 preposterous diftin&ions of men from
the king, down through the Royal
Prince, duke, marquis, earL vifeount,
count, baronet, knight, right honora
ble gentleman, honorable gentleman,
and esquire—with all the trumpery of
knights of the garter, and knights of
the bath, and knights of the bloody
hand, and of the thistle, and of the;
Shamroque, and of Nova Scotia, be
sides the knights of Windsor—ls it
this odious and deceitful substitute
for solid merit and worth, that induc
es the tories of America to hate their
own government as deficient of all
the fe follies? )
Is it because no man, profeffing the
dßrines of Calvin, no Quaker, So.
cinian, or Roman Catholic, can be a
member of either house of parliament
—nor hold any office of honor, trust,
. Or emolument, under that govern
ment, that they prefer it to the Ame
:rican government ? ^^
Is it because their firft servant call,
ed a king—is impiously said to be in
^ capable of doingwrong, when all who
know the hiftory ofc that country,
know no ioftance of his doing right?

Is it because corruption and venal
ity is the support of monarchies?
Is it because near five millions of
Irish people wished to beireated up.
on better terms than brutes—the A.
merican tories hate the Irish ?
Is it because so many Irish felljn
the battles for American Independ
ence, that the tories hate their coun
trymen ?'
Is it because three millions of Ro
man Catholics in Ireland, had no
voice in the community—no rights
civil or political—for ages their na,
five language it was fediiion to speak
—and from education they were ia<
terdi&ed at home but by pallors,
whose faith was different from their
own—arid to go abroad for education
was to be outlawed—-Is it because the
Irish availed this fabric of oppreffiop,
the stupendous accumulation of the
blacked Slavery —this consecrationpf
national criminality and perpetuated
turpitude ? Is it because after near
seven hundred years of bondage and
persecution unsurpassed, perhaps nev
ver equalled, in the most savage na
tions, that haplefspeople pref rved a
sense of honor, a generosity of spirit, a
courage proverbial, a fincerify and
capacity for the mod magnanimous
actions —is it for these causes that the
them ! Or is it the mean malice of
cowardice that seeks to add to the fuf-».
ficiendy wounded feelings of men
who have failed to assert the cause of
liberty, of virtue, and of their native
country —that lavishes on the Irish
who have fought this asylum to which
the coogrefs of 1775 and 1776 invit
ed them, calumny withoutend ?
Iriihmen and their defeendants,
must possess little of the virtue of their
forefathers, if they cannot difeover in
their adversaries the enemies of vir
tue, of liberty, and of truth. The
wretches that would league with such
a fadion, foes alike to human rights
and humanity, are fit tools for villains
to work upon —they are such wretch
esas honest men must avoid. The
enmity of hereditary enemies, or of a
noble and generous adversary will
command fefpe&—but the little trai.
tor to himfelf, who leagues with the
Wretch that only ules him as an inftru.
ment, and despises him for his corir
defeention arid docility—that wretch
is fi: to be an abject of contempt?
The Tories in Delaware declare the
Chevalier Bayard loft his election by
the number of Irishmen allowed to
be citizens—=they made the fame
complaint in 1777-8— when the Irish
men, in the Pennsylvania and Dela
ware militia, preserved the tories of
Delaware from cutting the throats of
'the Whig§. X^^^°s^
The republicans have a droll song
in circulation in Delaware, it is a pa
rody of" who was it killed Cock Rob
bin"—but the words are "who was
it killed Goliah!'—meaning by Go
liah the repudiated agitator! ;.,.
Nothing more plainly demonstrates
the principles and form of govern,
ment most congenial to the Tories,
than their hatred of the 7,^. Thus
a man who refilled the Qppreffion of
LIBERTY and the CONSTITUTION.
THE
fe British in Ireland is called exa%

th called Samuel Adams, and Hen^
gfoLanrence, and George Walking,
wa, and John Hancock, in 1776 —
Ahey were all traitors, scape gallowses,
rebels to their king and country.
The Boston Centinel fays in allusion
to Bonaparte's calling his despotism
a republic—that " we call the fame
thing by different names"—Are we to
understand by this, that the constitu
tion proposed by the 66 Sow and litter
of Pigs"* publication, in which a Pre,
fident for life was to choose the sena
tors from each state, &c. was thofame
thing under a different name, that the
tories call Federalism ?
* Porcupine ridiculed the Republican
constitutions of America, & recommend
ed the British form of government—as
tht " best model of human perfections—'
The General and State governments of
thi U. States he compared to a "Sow

a « Swinish multitude —Republicanism

Porcupine was a British fubjeEt, hired

the fell who prate about " imported pa=
triots "! —O shame. -.
One of our young tories has given
up fe deralifin—he very plainly de#
glares that when such men as Mr. Bay
ard are turned out by the people, a
monarchy isdefirable—this appears to
be predicated upon'a kind of para
Toxical toast,
May ever, honest man turn out a rascal..-
;The citizens of Delaware have with
^reat consideration for the laborious
duties which Mr. Bayard has had to
Undergo, relieved him—and directed
that after the 4th of March next, he
be permitted to remain a.t home to

SOUNDIORYISM.

The annual eleOion for fta<e effi.
cers was held in Vermont on the 7th
ihft. The editor of the Windsor ga
ifote, in Rating the votes of that place
, to have been greatly in favor of the
democratic ticket, observes, "Jn pub
limbing this important ltranfa&ion, we
are led to a deep contempla ion on
the inlufficiency of truth and modera
tion, to predominate over delusion &
party zeal ; and the uncertainty of
all calculations, founded on the fop
pofed difeernment of " the people"
—whose choice of a magistrate is al
most alwa,s bad, except in cases of
imminent danger! In republics ap.
preaching so near! a complete De
mocracy, as that of oars, it mfually
happens that in a state of national
tranquilityohe wife are obliged to fob,
mit to be counfelled by fools, who
with vanity and presumption enough
give momentum to innate cunning and
intrigue, lead " the people," whi#
ther they please, while the honest, the
upright and the wife disdain to adopt
the “ neeffar, arts," and retreat wi;h
sorrow and difguil, from so difhDn<Tr
