One Jingle circunaaaae lhould con
vince the people of thele itates OF the mi
quitous deigus, and unprincip!ed views
of the champions of democracy, and Of the
baie tools emitted in their ieryice. This
circumaance is, that they have laboured
to'produce the ruin OF the LAT adminifrati-
on andi Importers, by the vilea ilander,
and mott venomous falfehood, tina, they
have been over and over again detected
and expoled, aud thar, after Detection and
expolure, they have invariably avoided
the coulie of honeRy, have pitifully fneak-
ed away from an ingenious Acknowledges
meat OF error, or inpudensly continued in
the propagation of ca!unny. As wehaye
laid, before, this is the cuTfe which lights
upon knayer}, and the American people
ought to notice where it lights, that il
cannot, with any uniformity, ahume the
appearance of rettitude, and uprightneis.
Our observations receive illuaration from
a recurrence to the recent jacobin calunlny
OF Mr.. Rofs, and the wretcIed ovation
which has eniued upon its expofuse.-An
iniinuasion-a low, creeping artifce, con-
family ufed By the jacobin fcribblers, was
made, that Mr.. Rofs had received GOO
dollars, to be ufed in the advancement of
his election to the office of governor ofthis
commonwealth. The inGnuarion was pro-
we'd TO be as baie as its author the thing
hewn to be impoGible, and to have orr
ginated from wilful difpoition to lie and
calumniate. A miierable, ritiful and kra-
Win cquivocation enfues, the fri charge
is entirely forfaken, and the happy con-
clufion is arrived at, that Mr.. Rols is g
daring and unprincipled politiclan,' be,
cauie, forfooth, we have not faid that he
is not. Whether Mr.. Rois received the
500 dollars legally or not, we fhall leave
TO the government and the pub ic 10 de-
ode, upon bis own fatenent, and the de-
clarations of Judge Breckenridge, with
reipea to the propriety Of the meafure,
and the fidelity of It's execution. II is
enough for US to have Gaewn the people
how they are infulted by .rheie wretches
who wilfully lie, and vilely befpatter the
pureit characters in our community, and
when they are expoied, creepoF into their
native bogs Of faIiehood and corruption.

A Roman Emperor could inform the fe-

whole body Of the people, for he had al

Cromwell was content to be plain finn
