TO THE GOOD WOMEN OF KENTUCKE.
DEAR SISTERS,
On certainly have shewn that in our pieces which... if this was the first instance of serious attention to political concerns...
As to industry, the men will certainly succeed... It is our study and delight, as though to be, to clothe our families...
I cannot regret my removal from a country where I might have in large measure... I am very unfortunate in having, unfortunately...
riches. Here, my friends, we are taught that what is useful... I am very unfortunate in having, unfortunately...

Mr. BRADFORD.
It is with some reluctance, I request you to insert the following... I am very unfortunate in having, unfortunately...
late period, infested the public prints with inflammatory... I am very unfortunate in having, unfortunately...
NOVICIATUS.
In Party Contests, Public Good sacrificed to Private Views.
THE spirit of party is a spirit of envy; and whether politics or religion, philosophical opinions or family feuds, have called it into existence...

If a real unfeigned zeal for the welfare of their country, operating upon different principles, warmed the loins of public men; if a genuine spirit of patriotism animated every one whose abilities or situation in life had raised him to the legislative dignity; their conduct would have but one object, which would be the public good; and though there would, among them, be a frequent difference in opinions, yet neither their art nor their malevolence would be employed in the suppression of them. The victorious party would not be inclined with success, nor would those who failed, receive from the victorious party with disappointment, and growing forth revenge. But as this is far from the vision of a fanciful mind, than a true and faithful representation of any thing which does, or will exist, we must suffer it, though perhaps reluctantly to pass over, and come to less pleasing realities for assistance in our reasoning upon the subject.
If then the spirit of party be a spirit of violence, it does not require any great sagacity to determine, that reason and the cool suggestions of deliberative wisdom can have little connection with it. Passion and prejudice will be its prevailing ingredients, and that they will ever lead it to good, will depend upon accident, and is rather the object of our wishes, than of any rational expectation. It might, however, be reasonably imagined, that violence applied to violence would soon find an end, but, like the wandering tribes of Arabia, when driven away by superior power, it has only changed all the objects of its local hatred, and still continues to exist, and is in search of another object, where it may recur to its usual measures. Power may, for a time, and in particular cases, be a check to the flames, by being possessed by the first party of power, and by being possessed by the second party with more than equal force. Here then the utility, and even necessity, of a moderate power, appears with irresistible evidence; nor only to prevent public dissensions from continuing their mischief, but to avail itself of them in such manner as to practice good. When the contending parties become wearied with contention, when the same subjects have been considered, and the same arguments presented even to satiety, when, with alternate victories, they longasp for repose, and this with sometimes happens, a favorable opportunity presents itself for men of moderation to enforce some necessary measure, and to effectuate, if possible, some general, comprehensive plan for the service of their country.
The man of party is a man of violence, and sees every thing through a medium tinged with prejudice. The man of moderation is a man of reason, and deliberates before he determines to act. The measures of the former, arising from force of passion, are hasty, inconsiderate, and frequently injurious to the cause he means to serve; while those of the latter, being the result of a wise and calm survey of what he is about to do, in all its connections and consequences, are decisive and effectual. The one acts upon the narrow ground of present exertion, or rests his power on the weak basis of partial association; while the other listens not to any call, nor turns his attention to any man or set of men whatever, but deliberates without prejudice, and determines from his own mature judgment. The man of party is ever on the wing, always hurried and easily inflamed, seizing at every opportunity to declare his opinions, and using every means to enforce them; while the man of moderation is never inattentive to his duty, though he is not always in the actual exercise of it: he never stops forth to action, but when the occasion demands his services; at such a season, with an independent spirit and a calm dignity, he comes forward, secure of an ardent and commanding influence.
