The recorder, or, Lady's and gentleman's miscellany. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1801-1802, 1802-06-23

Aignt apology to the fair part OF our readers
tor this omifiion. And we, on the Other hand,
have promifed to defend the iaid gentlemen,
their repeal OF the internal taxes. and their
a;iebdrgs of tbs nati5aa! de6t. We have
promiied to defend the election of governor
Giles, the expenses of the Berceau, the
traningra,ion of our ice4Prcfident, and the
Committee OF lnveitigation; in {hort, we
have pfomiied to defend every thing shat
wanted defence. We have pronliied, in par
tlGular, todefcnd the good old caule againh all
inch defenders as Samuel II. Smith, and the
Attorney general of the Union, James
Chcetham and Meriwcther Jones.
We are, finally, going TO defend the repub-
Leans in general agaihtf each other, for, if
they proceed to grunble and fnarl among
themielves, it is not inPofible that the feder-
ais may Trip them out again before they have
had even half time to feather their neRs.
ha fedcralS, theullelves, never would, nor
could have bscn turned out, if thew could have
agreed. Let US, then, fellow cisizcns, take
warning by their awful fate.
We had been defred 70 defend certain
great mans donation of the North Weitern
territory, from the Fate of Virginia, to the
federal government. But, when we think of
the Merchant ak when we hear that there
IS only four pence half penny in the public
rreafury Of Virginia; when we hear that lait
year, congrels fold eleven hundred and forty
tegcn thoufand dollars worth OF thcie lands,
we have protected that, in this initlnce, Mr..
A1adion muit defend himfcH 1t is but a
few weeks ago, hnce our iacretary OF fate fub-
tcribed treaty between the general govern

territory, bccaufe Virginia had fuffered them

after a great deal of haggling, have been OBI
