refpeft for the constitution and
denies the authority vested in
congress by that very constitu
tion ; it express a regret tpat the
Ipirit of party exists in the U, S.
and in the fame breath exhorts
the people of the N. W. T. to
rife in opposition to the govern
ment ana form an independency;
it pretends in one part that the
federal constitution is excellent
in another that the people of
North Weftern territory are no
more bound by the a&s of the
congfefs founded under it than
they are by those of Bonaparte ;
and that if they obeyed the prop
ositions of congress to form a
new state they will divest them
selves of their rights—in fine the
address is a tissue of inconsisten
cies, venerating and abusing the
constitution in t he fame sentence,
but this is perfectly conformable
to the real feritiments of the par
ty called federal, but fcw have
the hardihood to avow such doc
trines at the present moment,
many secretly applaud them, in
ha the party opposed to the\
present administration have ev
er been enemies of republicanism,
in all their acts we have seen the
fame hostility to the interests of
these states which we witness in
the address of St. Clair at pres
ent : the assertion of a senator
of the United States that " the
corfftitution had done its duty,
and ought and would be burn
ed at the point of the bayonet"
corresponds with the appeal of
St. Clair to the people of a part
of the United States territory to
commence a civil war, " We
have," fays he “ the means in
pur hands to bring congress to
reason, if we should be forced to
ule them; " and yet this is the
party that assumes to itfelf all
pretensions to love for the con
stitution, for peace, and order,
this is the party which accused
the republicans of fomenting the
weftern infurreaion, this is the
party Qat calls three fourths of
the people of these states jaco
rbins, diforganizers, enemies to
order, bee — Aurora.

60- Let the reader examine care
fully and candidly, the President's
Mffage in the firft page of this paper
—the federalifts are violent agaiaft it
—lead it— then let the Republicans
carefully impress their minds with the
communication under Boston head,
which immediately succeeds the mes.
.sage—it will furnish them with ample
weapons to nonplus the federalifts in
their groundiefs carpings against our
present Economical administration.
The Message informs us oftbe Peace and

How many millions of the public

Under whose mild reign did the ex.

year, exceed the revenue, by more
than FOUR MILLIONS of dollars,

how nffch money did they borrow of
their good friends at Eight per cent?
How many millions are stow in the
Treasury, betides difeharging Five
Millions of the Principal of the Pub

ions and a half! <
How many millions did the feder

ry—or in other words how many mill
ions did "The GenevanSecreta-
RY"fad in it ?—.The answer is, about
two millions—and that covered b,fede^
ral appropriation !!
The federalifts will not pretend 1
they ever attempted or ever wished to'
pa, any part of our public debt—for
the fame " Se&' that declared The
People " their own worfl enemies !"
maintained also that " a public debt is [
'a public bleffng!" And had the Prefi.j
] deocy been made hereditar,, with a|

Ithe federalifts called him) or" Sage

I Every prudent ©an conducts his

Posterity to pay—And will he with a
Government less economical ?
The "Mortal Canker."
A “ Mertal Canker” has been preying upon
the vitals of tory federalifm, eger since the
15th of Dec. at 12 o'clock !^ —It gnaw the
life firings of the Bayardites —the qvind, doc.
trine of “a Public D^bt a Public Bbfog," now i
begins to appear io iti native deformity. The;
People am fee that it is better to pay Eight!
Millions of debt, than to hire the money att
Eight per cent. The People must realize the j
difference.
The tories, are constantly on watch, to get ;

daily becoming more and more exalted in the
good opinion of the American People- —
the lift Menage has opened up to them a nra
source of complaint—add the bean, artillery
is ordered against him from Georgia to Maine
—Hamilton's paper begun theft which is
brifkiy kept up by every petty )qiubbsr of the
Sea, who can wield a printing press or play
the misanthrope's serpent-tongue. What is>
this mighty crim^ of the President, which has
drawn upon him all the thunderings of the/#.
citral Goliaths ?—it is indeed a serious charge
which will forever preclude him the favor of
these meDoftow! ——It is no less than an
aferiptfon of the unprecedented prosperity
vlhreh the People of this country enjoy to the
favor and blessing of tfe Supreme Being
the fedieralift, (as they aie falfely called) are
greatly Qaltd that he did not ascribe every
thing to the wWt ofthe late administration !
or the virtue of Mariah financier !
The federal payers fay that Gov.
St. Clair of the N. W. Territory is
removed, bepaufe he is a federal-re
publican/ but they should have given
in their papers his Excellency's ad.
dress to the convention for formings
constitution for that State, in order
that their patient readers might have
a full explanation of this federal re
publican patriotism. \ The modefl gov
ernor, after the most acrimonious re
proaches which a dotard, soured by
the prostration of his Jco, could pour
on our Republican Adminift ration,
absurdly exults, '' We have the means
in our hands to bring Congress to
reason, if we should be forced to ufe|
them." Weak pld man! Upon the
whole, his addrefris the most licen.

have ever seen from any public offi

"Lawyer Thompson, we are told, is
removed from the poftoffice in Salif-i
bury, “because he is a federal#repub.
lican,'"(lack-a-day !) and Moses East
man appointed, '' who lives on ano

this ''who lives on another road ?" is
it meant to misrepresent ? to impress
a belief that the Postmaster-General,
to turn out a federaliJl and get in a
republican, has turned the mail out of
itsc.)urfe ? if this was meant, a word
shall set this crooked federalifm strait
—ls Mr. Eastman is actually appoint
ed postmaster in Salisbury, it may be
an a&ual saving to the mail.carrier of
several miles travel in the town of Sa
lisbury, weekly, in the route from Ex
eter to Hanover—to carry this route
by Lawyer Thomson's office, the poll
had to make almost a crooked elbow,
but he may now keep in the shortest
road, and'the Haverhill mail still pass

The Legislature of Kentucky, on
the ift of Dec. voted, that the shut

j infraction of the Treaty wi h Spain,
land sent the following Memorial to
! the President and Congress :
] HAVING on a forme occasion, when we
;represented the obftruaions to the naviga
;tion of the river Miffiffi,pi, experienced the
attention and justice of the general govern,
ment, in providing by a treaty with the court
of Spain, not only for the free navigation of
that river, but for what, in opr remote fixa
tion from the ocean was abs dutely necessary
to the enjoyment of it, a place of deposit tor
our produce,—We deem it necessary barely
to state to you, that by an infraaion of that
treaty, we Are deprived of these advantages,'
in violation of the treaty between the United
States and the King of Spain,concluded at San
Lotepzo el Real, in Odober 179;. The in
tendant of the port of New Orleans has by a
proclamation of the 18th of October last, for
bidden American citizens to deposit their ei-
Ifeds and merchandizes in the said port, with- }
!out having assigned to the U. States antquiv. t
laient' eft^blifhment on another part of the
banks of the Miffiffi,pi.
We rely with confidence on your wisdom
and justice; and pledge onrfelves to Support,
afibe expend of our lives and fortunes, such
measures as the honor and iatereft of the U
