In Kentucky we know wine is dear, but
a aaember of Congfefs ought to be above
the meanneis of making uie of the heeltaps
and rincings of bottles Of the foam of the
earth. We with that good neighbour to
tell that bright Legislator, that # fuch.
frasds had been committed they ought to
nave been punilhed /; that It was the duty
of the prefent adminiitratio TO bring them
TO light, not by the filake like procedure
OF calumnious inuendo, but by direct ac-
cuaation. If the charge is true, the pre-
frnt administration are guilty Of mifprihon
Oh fraud, of grofs wrong TO the public,
and indeed of high mifdemeaaor, in not
bringing the guilty to juaice. They
have been two years in office; iutely
time enough TO brig to jufice, OF at leait
to impeach all public delinqaents. II the
charge is not true, then the Kentucky
member is, by his own charge, thrown
over the railing into the pit, along with
the whole herd of jacobin falG6ers, who

il prevailed By the difciPlined fpirit,
the enterprizing, the hardy and incedant
-exeetions Of lis followers. To what is
democracy oppofed to thole real repub
iican principles Of Warrington, knowp by
the name of federalifm. If democracy is
1alfehood, and it is oppofed to federal'fin,
then feaeralifm mutt be a tyfem OF truth

of zeal and pains which has made falie-
hood triumphant, if honetIy employed in
ALTERNATING truth mutt necefarlly IN
resionable time raife up truth again on the
ruins of falfehood, or Federaliim on the
ruins of democracy Surely no cor

It's own fake, when ii leads to the cer-
tain dearuetion Of all their intereits and
enjoyrnents. Ii follows then of courie,
from the natural order of things, that de-
mocracy, which is not only political
wickednefs. but fort Of wickednefs yield
log no profit to the people whole liber-
lies and happinels 1t threatens, can not
long reiilt the weight of talents and cha
raeaer in the oppo6te fcale, if its expoiure
is only continued with vigorous indufry
and perseverance. There is indeed no al
tentative between this mode Of condact
and tame fubmi1ion. The democrats
will never be fatisded while the name of
federaliR exits I; and, unleis the federal
ifs will quietly fubmit to their own ex-
,iuaion, they mutt frain every nerve
to put down the great common nuiiance.
They are in the fitnation of man meet
Ing a highway .robber; they NUT give
up their all at once or refolye to fubdue.
Their enemies will allow OF no quiet me-
dunn, and no choice is left but that of
fervitude or empire. 1t isa vain and
very pernicious notion which lome peo-
pie entertain, that democracy is TO be ap-
peaied by half way connections, that any
moderation on our part lhort of paRive
obedience can ever glut its appetite. Such
people know nothing of the eaential cha
rae4er OF The fyGem they talk about, and
their idle imagination terves only to dead
en- the active patrotifm Of their neighbors.
Let US then never by words, by deeds or
IN thought countenance this notion
