counterfeit money, &nSqvisg i, to be coun-
ierteit. And that the honorable hyperion
court, being afured Of the fact by the
oath of twelve /" able, judiciops freehold.
ers," have charitably furniihed hin will,
letter OF recommendation to the keeper Of
Newsate, and procured him handfome'
eRabiihment in the nail maasfaH0y for
two years. IS,
To this information I beg leave to add
two or three particulars, which in jaaice
to the general and the public, ought to be
known and recorded:
Be it remembered, then, for the honor Of
the general and his party, that, he has been
for fvetal years paa, not onlya Iexier, but
a1eacher among the democfsss-ore of
the very s' ,hiet apoi'les" Of epob,icaB.
i'm. And that the 9vbok maG Of democra-
cy in the eaGern part Of the Country Of
New Haven, owes its ereatnn and brefr-
Uati.n to the jeiut labors Of biy/st and
Doa0, Slequ5elI.
Be it aLoremembeyed, that this feif-iame
general has been, for many years pat, an
object OF the mott violent perfscution, abufe
and lander, among tlIe snrmies Of the tes-
pie. To prove this wirhou, multiplying
facts, ! beg leave to make the following
ihort and fimple eatement. A few years
ago, A. C.$efq. of Guilford, a notorious
ariltocrat, publicly, and folennly and re-
peatedly declared, that general Fowler !:
was tbief! And in an action of lander,
brought by the general to vindicate his
character againit the feandaleus charge,
the faid A. C.. efq. with the mott provok-.
Jog aaurance, e.nts0sd in open court, that
he had made the charge, and adding iy<alt
to injury brovrdhtutsir ae!!
Let it alto be remembered, That this
general Fowler was the /sk representative
from the town of Guilford TO the famous
Wallingtord convention in March lat.
And now, be it ,xmemdsred, That citi-s
zen Rea6en Stsse of Litch6eid, one of the.
three boxerabie delegate, from that town
TO tl,e. aiorelaid Wallingford convention,
has within few weeks paf committed ap
| unlucky mifakr, called in our law srgtA
~. (Alas | all men sfe liable 10 mil.
| taRes y. But citizen Stone, not having
taae, iike general Fowler, for the
nail making buGnels, has fousht relief
| from his misfortune in the T" manual ex-'
ercife of heels ;" and has actually left
democracy in Connecticut to manage its
concerns without his aid. He has fct his
| face weaward. 1t is fuppofed, that the
| friends Of the PEOPLE have furni!hed him
with recommendations to the council of
appointment liz Ne,v- York, or to Govern.
| or M'Kean. Iffo the doors Of honor
md confidence will foon be BURT openso
receive him.
P. S. As is important, that the f'co-3
| pie ihould be Informed Of all occurrences,
intimately connected with the triumph OF

that all the republican printers in the y.

Fellow -Cirizens of

Brunfwick DlRrid,
TAKE this carly opportunity to in-
form you, that after Ex1een days clofe
and animated debate on the bill from the
Senate, to repeal the act that paaed latt
fefiion OF consreis for the better organi-'
cation of the courts of the United States,
about midnight the iaR night, the qaeI
tion was taken, when the bill pafled In
the comnittee of the whole, ayes SO,
noes al; and incline to think it will
finally pats the houfe by an equal majo-
rity. During the whole difcuilion, we
have done little or no other buiineis, ex-
eept to receive and refer petitions, me-
morals, Sc. But incline to think We
ihall now proceed in the other great bu-
6nefs Of the nation. ] have nothing more
to add, but have offered this to tasisty
your anxious expestation-the bill only
,ropofes to aboliih the courts, but leaves
the Judges in poaefiion of their Offices
and ialaries in doing which, We have
