FOR THE KENTUCKY GxVzETTE
TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY
A PHENOMENON
Recently made h's appearance in
Frankfort the Skunk This (link

differs both in form and qualifica

fomewhat Orang-Outang) refembles the
alike offenfive to the fight and

renewal of his nefarious fchemes in
New-York where he firft arrived
caufed him to be hunted thence
He took flicker from the juft ven
geance of his injured purfuers in
Richmond Virginia from whence
in company with his omnipotent pro
tedlor who is it feems by birth a
Virginian (and left home for what
caufe God knows but we prefume
from the fpecimen he has afforded of
his condudl here not for praving)
with their all upon their backs Wa

fadlion hoftile to republicanifm who
feel themfelves faft finking into in
figniftcance ahd contempt like a
drowning mtn who catches at ftraws

they effedl a divilion of the repub

calumny and lies the public hatred
againft the officers of government
they might rise into notice Thank
God the ftratagem did not fiucc ted—
the people of Kentucky whom they
fuppoled to be a credulous illiterate
multitude who would ftyallow for
truths any falfehoods however ab

plans but being a daftardly wretch
he would not venture on the enter

them to remove to Kentucky until
they couid procure a foundation on
which to conftrucl a Spanifh Con
fpiracy or fome other aCcufation
equally falfe and chimerical and
implicate thofe characters in whom
the people of Kentucky have hither

even honored by their attention and
