Some of the toushern papers contein a

to have been made on Britilh fhlp by
lieutenant Ssefett in the Unised States
loop Of war Enterprize, in which III Is
related) iixty of the Engliih fhip's crew
were killed. The aory is falie in every
particular bus the following Britih
merchantman being met off the Barbary
coat by the Eaterprize, refuied to hoiit

threw flot acrofs her, and Till pefhiting
in not lhessing colors, a fhos was thrown
in fuch way as to indicate determine

This is democratic cant. The crimes OF

we are TO believe aAertions, there is con-
PIRACY 70 ovesturn the government by te-
dItion and civil war. Look al the mo

does.not concern & the honor inierea OF The
country.i Who are to be fafagers in tie
event OF war The Federaits, tie men
Of property. Bur the people OF Ken
tucky and Tennei1ee are not Fe deraliits.
Yet thew are the men who have mani
felt difpoGtion TO do for themlelves what
the government would not do for them.

Mr.. Randolph's Gmpatby for their
