attention of thoie interefed in the welfare of the

In two important aates, jacobins have been
chofen Governors and in Madachufetts and
Newhampfhire attempts have been, and are

chilly at the election which is fpeedily to take
place in this Gate. The privilege of free fluff
rageis great; but it will turn to our own def
truetion If not properly attended to. Citizens,

location for unanimity and don, than at
the prefent moment
