AS the Fede;aiism Of Connecticut has been
pronounced by the sage dottors WHO have felt OF
her pu,se TO bein decline, it is natural for her
votaurs 10 enquire among themselves the cause

IF federalism has been exposed - a similar
manner, analogy Will lead Us TO acrb: her decline
TO the same cause. To prove that such is the
faet, greatnumbef OF Instances might be adds

one is sufficient for the purpose. The governor
of this state being elected by federalists and hold
np the first ohiGe the fedcFaliss of this state can
besrow, must be considered as fully possessed of
their principles, their feelings and their views.
How imprulensly has he exposed all these to the
rude blasts of democracy, in his address TO our
legislature at the opening of the last session !!
On thar public occasion, he had the indiscreton,
the temerity, TO acknowledge his dependence on
the Cop OF HIS FATHERs, and his entire conf
dsncs In ali overriding providence He no sooner
casts his eyes on rhe s. numerous wars OF Eu

the melancholy reflections of humane mind, ex-
cited by the frequent disposition of nations to en-

conceal his ignorance OF futurity, that the ways
Of Providence are deep and unsearchab.e he
throws aside the coverings OF prudence, and dis

tending providence, thatit was part of the great
design ofhirn who educed good from seeming evil,
TO sender the misfortunes of distant nations SUBJ
seryent to the increase, wealth and power Of this
continent.
It IS NOT indeed Surprising that Governor Trnm
kgY, educated as he has been, in religion which
tells US g the hairs of our heads.are numbered -
should entertain sentiments like these. Is il not
surprising that as statesman he should perceive
that America, remaining neutral during the wars
OF Europe, has derived an advantage from them !;
