/" WE have fallen On ev:! times" was
tie ohiersa,ion of one who held the htt
rank 10 focie,y, and every day proves the
trHh oe the remark among ali thof. who
ih@se tssewn in their mite and publicly ex-
.s,ssled sf1E upnriou OH shs eaal.,,tst 1f our
executive; none has reacitssa* The sc.sts,a
line Of truth with more energy ard pro-
priety, than the writer of Americans,
Whole excellen, productions fri made
their appearance in tie South Carolina
State Gazette; my obiea, therefore, III
offering a few chlervs.ions for publication
in your paper, is TO endeavor 70 remove
a prejudice unhappiIv too Ere valene among
the editors of our federal prints, mean
the admiaion Of icarcely Il Jingle piece of
original matter, whic,, has been puhliiAed
in another paper this conduit l conceive
to be erroneous, it is hurtful to the csufe
of federalifm; becauie the productions of
the bef informed writer's arc confined to
lnalI circles, and very feldom reach far
Their than the confines of a particular
neighhourhocd.
How very different is the conduct Of
the DeMo-cratic editors, (it | may ufe
the term you will on peruial Of their
treafonable, deiitical, atheiitical and mo-
dern philolophic fleets, find thar no piece
which, in any degree, either as tending
to create the unruly pallions of the vulgar
and illiterste, to bias the Judgment of the
weak and credulous, or to excite the am
bilious views Of the vicious dcmagogue
and diaati6ed itinerant alien, but is re-
publifhed from New HamplAire to Geor-
rgia; it is by this conaant and inHexible
rule that their peiionous principles of dif-
organization arc lpread thro' theie ftates,
and the yirulencc of this potion can never
b. efaced, or even partially aopped; until
fderaliim, from one end of the continent
to the other, be firmly united-in vain
hall the friends of good order ulc their
endeavors, when their efforts aredis Joint
ed, and the phalanx of virtue ard integri-
ty continue difunited. -Theie auctions
will, therefore, naturally arile How are
their various efforts, and how ere the viz
tuous tolls cf the faithful hufbandman iii
the vineyard ofpolitical truth, to be uni,-
ed And, further, how are the icattered
champions in the cauie of religion and mo-
rality to be drawn together, ioe as eaettu-
ally to oppofe the daring outrsses OF a
dsaardly, ambu!cading toe' The reply is
not more eaily made, than the reteHary
means to be ufed, are to be acquired; the
very mode purified by our opponents, IS the
only easetual one, it is only 10 tie virtue
and patriotilm of the federal editors that
our hopes can be realized; ard this by re-
puoliihing every piece which tends to
Withdraw the inEduous max which may
cover the infamous deligns Of ruling ard
corrupt demagogucs who openly Proteis
one thing and daringly do another; Whole
fyren, facinating tongues fpeak peace, and
whole bale, mmauiy, cowardiy hearts,
break in upon the repole Of thote who ere
real patriots, virtuous officers, and honet
men; theie obfervations have been drawn
from me, after the peruial of many of the
mott reipeaable federal prints in the Uni
