the doctrine Of our representative, fer in

county OF Alexandra is 10 rale the mo-
ney, and the preii!ens-I had like 10
have iaid our representative himielf, is to
find peffons to expend i; for Us.
What a very pretty piece Of work DO
thofe itates exhibiI where the influence ct
democracy has mott completely prevailed.
No one can require a itronger proof of
the ignorance and wickedoeis q lho(e
feldutbed republicans who have. foiited
themielses into place-rhan the three
ifatcs of Maryland, Penn(ylvsnia and
New esfey, have eyjuced in their diff
ferent public bodies during their iclllons
of this winter. II New Jerfey the reo-
pie may be literally iaid to be without
any governmeer, at leaLe any known TO
the contribution ard laws. IN Penniyl
vania they will, ere long, be woyfe eff
than even in New Jerley; there The
Legislature have boldly unforIed tie Aaad
ard of reGitance 70, and ict at defiance
the authority Of The union. The copGi-
tuted authorities, from the preGdent
down, including three fourths Of both
houfes Of the lai congreis, ale charged
VITA an nfmtati0n, which they are de-
termined not to fanttion, but oppole.
The alien law Of the Iaf icilion is decIar-
ed by them to be violation Of the con-
Aitution and fubyertive OF the rights and
foveEeignty Of The aates; and law, as
extraordinary in It's nature IS it will be
pefnicioos in its consequences, has r.Ged
the Legislature Of thar fate. Its Object
IS tpp4guotsn" to the naturalization
law OF congress, and to give full citizen
lhip to foreigners, without lubjettipg
them to the oath Of allegiance and obe-
dicnce to the conNitu;ion of the Union.
Such are the fruits of democracy ia that
itate, and if the councils of our own
have nor been 70 bold in their menaces
againf} the general government, they
have been but little behind hand in heap
ing difgrace upon their contiituen,s and
difTegarding the integeis Of the fate.

grant in the fcale Of citizenihip on an
equality with the man OF worth; their
blow at the only court which orpafes
barrier to the fchemes of the preyar;cat-
iag and procraltinating debtor, and above
all, the feceGions in the f:nate and the
confufion and wrangling among the mem
bers of the executive branch all thew
that our fate is making rapid progrels on
The road to ruin, and ihould before TOO
