so disgraceful to our country, to the adminif-;
tration of pur prefect illustrious President—
^An admihiftration that labours to fubftttute
order for ronfofion, economy for lavish expen.
ditures, hndtbe mild reign of Princtyb, for the
intolerance ot Despotism." Since the com
mencement of this admihiftration, we have
seen an immense diminution of the public
burthens effected; by a reduction of public
expenditures, by the abolition of useless office#
and by the repe^Lpf #ll the internal taxes,— t
comprehending the stamp tax, &c. &c &c. —
In the deduction of national expenditures, the
present government have made an annual far
ing of upwards of one million arid one hun-
I dred thousand dollars—Notwithflanding the
Irepeallrepeal of the internal taxes, opr rulers by fob.
ftitutiog “ economy for taxation” have reduce
ied the current annual expenditures within the
; annual revenue, which leaves a yearly encrea.
ifog surplus to be appropriated to the payment
of the national debt—These appropriates tions
have fence the accession of Mr. Jefferfon, al
ready cancelled upwards of Eight Millions of
dollars of the public debt, and there is ndw
more than Four Millions in the national trei
fury, to be applied to that purpose.

there may be some exceptions —There may be
honest men misguided by the demons of par

I th e government that proteas them in it— —
} Thefe it is the duty of all good republicans to
jenlighten, not to abuse, and to bring them by
, mild and honest arguments to the support of f
ithe Federal Conflitution and good principles.
We all have one common inteteft—if the coug.

prominent features of the past and present
Federal admioiftrationa—ln the return of the
duties which, as citizens of the state, our an
nual eleaiom renew, the most important one
to be attended to is the eleaioA of a First Ma.

two candidates heW up to view—Of these two
these is no small difference in their moral or
political merit, and it makes nwfmali differ,

Their political sentiments relative to tbe re

I have been considering as well as other fub^
