as above quoted. any language almoa is too
good for h,m. This however. is but tiflins
addition TO the accompliihmeass Of this federal
gentleman.
We admire the r,isnsninity of the sos-
ernment in not attending TO the numerous mif-
representations which arc daily uihered into be-
ing, coaicious of the reetitude of its motives il
relies on the good lenir of the people for cor.
rettion of the evil, bur when il 10 opeay accnf-
ed Of intolerance, OF turning out cdsraliits from
public Offices, and no fuch thing is done, an en-
quiry is made by every one, ought this not 20
be partially the cafe ! AT leaf ought not tho
majority have an equal participation of office
The query 10 necelafy, the anfwer is obvious
LET i, be well remembered that under the late
administration thorough federahR, MIR. Sit
greaves. declared government ought not TO en-
ploy man OF the oppofte party. and that fuch
was actually the caie--and can any one doubt
of the proPtiety OF giving al sqSai lhsre ofpub-
lie trua to the republicans as 20 the federaliAs.
Political intolerance, either az il reipees off,
cers, OF individuals out of Office. is od,ous and
detefabl.-a difference of political ienrimcnts
cannot make liberal minded men hottie 90 each
other it they believe they aet from pure motives
but we know feversl perfoas nov in Office

living in diitritts where there are about eight
rspubiicans TO one fedcralit. whom ir would

noxious characters be removed to gaiu the con-
hience Of republicans, while federa!iAs with TO
preven, 1t by aiting that the sdherean Of their
party are excluded, which il univerially known
to be falfc. ~
Another curious exprciIion Of Mr.. Rut-
ledge, in his address, is, that the late sdrninif-
tra,ion left a faH rsafay-we preirme he meant

We arenot iurpSiied at the connenda alton
Mr.. Rutledgc', sddrsh has received from the
federaliRs--one has faid that il is one Of the
mon complete papers publifhsd ih the country
--xe have already mentioned two of ito sTes-
tions, we add third TO complete the evidence

In Mr.. Rutledge's addreis we do not find
