a confidence in your own strength, may be at
fatal, at the periods of election, as an adual
■indifference to tbe.obje&of pursuit.
We have addressed you, fellow-citizens,
upon the present occasion, rather as citizens
of the union, than as inhabitants of Pean
■ , fylvania ; but, it will be recpllevied, that
I the politics of the confederation, and the pol
itics of its individual members, have an in
fluence, which is mutually attractive and
■ assimilating. Aco operation of the republi-
I can members (and venture here to express a
solicitude for its continuance) communicated
that light to the union, which the union now
I ^ reflects back, upon the several dates. It is
■ chiefly, however, by the care of the individu.
al dates, that the sacred flame of republican
-11 , ism can be permanently preferred from dimi.
pution or decay ; and the public morals, poll
cy, and manners, should be affiduodly mould
ed to a performance of the duty ; since to en-
I joy, or retain, the glorious inheritance of the
revolution, posterity must emulate the valour
and the virtue, which enabled their fathers to
atchieve it. Among a free people, taught to
know, and to estimate, their own rights, the
elective franchife will be forever dear, and the
representative character forever honored. No
age can p^fs away without its heroes, and its
statesmen ; and a long line of patriots shall
■ Succeed to Jefferson & M’Kean, as they,
have done ro Was hiat gton & Franklin.
It only rem iirdr, fellow citizens, to close the
■ t?fk which has been grafted to us, by eac
■ , neftly recommending to youi a general attend
ance, and a cordial unanimity, on the day of
election. A steady choice of tried and approv
ed Republicans, to fill the departments of go
vermeut,muft effectually fruftrate the schemes
L of yonr enemies,and invigorate the confidence
of your-friends; but permit us, also to hope,
that your vote on the re-election of the pres
ent governor, the honored & beloved M’Kean,
will serve as a conspicuous teftimohial of pub
■ lie gratitude, for the virtue, wisdom and inde
pendence which he has uniformly difollyed in
the fetvice of his country. And if for tbefe
■ I important purposes, any further advice or as
fi^ance (howld be requifie, you may, at all
times, rely upon the promptitude and fidelity

, &fa, o^. 18. The defeat
of. Mr. Bayard in his eleaion is
I L not so much a matter of triumph
I ' to the Republicans, as that Mr.
■ Rod¥BY is chosen in his stead.
Mr. Bayard was in Congress the
last leflion, and in a minority on
■ 1 every question. It is well knovyn
111 that he was always troublesome,
I1 but always unfuccefsful. No
man contributed more to retard
the public business, by his te
■ft dious speeches, which generally
consisted of idle repetitions, and
arguments without evidence. It
°^ *" he made no con
^ rats to his opinions, either in
■ Congress or out of it.
From Mr. Rodney we have
a right to expert every thing
that is fair, manly and honora
ble. He is a gentleman in the
proper sense; of an amiable char-;
after in public life. He is an
enlightened Republican, the
nephew of C^sar Rodney, and
he inherits the virtues and patri
otism of his illustrious ancestor.
He also abandons alterative pro
■ session, is incapable of amend
ing to the fhuffiings, the tricks,
the manceverings and manage
ment of a well trained partisan.
>lt is well known that in Dela
ware there is no small portion of
the dregs and feces of the old tor,
party, whole prejudices and,ac
tivity against every thing that is
truly enlightened and republican
are invincible.--This fa&ion has.
, been unwearied in its exertions
on the late eteaion ; and have
contributed to diminish the ma
\jority that Mr. RoDney would
otherwise have had. They will
never forgive a man who profefl-
es to cherish those revolutionary
principles, which " made us as
we are ;" and to this circum
stance, in Delaware as in Phila
delphia, all the evils that had
nearly destroyed the liberty and
independence of this country, by
making it a fattelite of England
in its late contest with France,
must and will be imputed. Does[
it not make the blood of the Re-;
publicans boil, to find pardoned;
malefadors, rebels to their coun-|
try, traitors, who would havel
fold it to the British, having an §
unnatural influence in some plac-;
es even yet, while they wouldj
hunt from the face of the earth,
the countrymen of Starks and
Montgomery, merely for their;
republicanism ? For even an l
ii(h royalist is well received and
applauded by these malcontents.
It is not the country of the man
then that is disagreeable ; if he
came from tophet, and would on
ly vote with them, there would
be no complaint. It is his re
publicanism that makes the dif
ficulty—ls he whig or tor, ? that
is the question. If the former,
they would give him no foothold
on the earth—if the latter, they
hug him to their bosoms,
whether he were Turk, Jew, Ro
man Catholic, Absentee, Conspirator
'or “ Devildee," as old jemmy
Otis once said in town meeting.
The Republicans must Imile
with contempt then at the loss of
the eledion in Delaware being
alcribed to foreigners, in the Cen
tinel. of Saturday. Os all the e
le&ions in America, whenever
they have been decided against
republicanism, the tories have
been the make-weight. Letthe
English agents and factors ceafe'
to interfere ; let the former ene
mies of our revolution keep at
home, , and the Republicans
would not want a fingie friend,
who was not born in America,
to replace every thing on its true
ground. This is notorious to
every man that will think a mo
ment on the fubje& of our elections.

The forgery of letters addressed to
the President under the name of" Ni.

exposed. A person, high in office,
[Mr. Rutledge] is charged with the
freedom of borrowing *an unoffend

cause of party. If such men are
entitled Honorable, such tricks are
not so. ' Salem Register.
; We have seen a letter by which an

A letter was addressed to the Prefi
^dent, recommending certain persons
to office, in the name of a Republi
can member of Congress. A difeo
very of this base trick was seasonable,
and it is expected the villain will be
difeovered. Such are the measures
of. some men to get into office, who
profefs to despise the adminjftration.
