fitiOn, rife triumphant on the ruins OF all
parties, and for the qualification Of his
ambition, refore us TO fate OF Tranquil
liry and calm but the tranquility and
calm of deep rooted and permanent def
potifm. Its calamitous Influence, even
now, is truely alarming, and calls with
an inpenious voice on every feeling patri
or 10 cooperate IA the application OF APP
propriate remedies for flch remedies let
us confalt the oracular opinions Of the de
parted fayioor of our country, ard through
their falutafy advice fave her again from
impeuiing ruin. They will tell us TO
promote the inarcttion of youth re-
medy the application Of which islo patri-
otically began and 70 forcibiy recommend

will tell US to correct and inform public
opinion, through every poaible fair nrdi-
uln not BY oppodng and combating
MISREPRESENTATION by INTERPRETATION
falfehood by falfshocd but by oppoing
truthio error; not speculative truth, but
the well etfablifhed and valuable refuIts of
fober experience. Tho the ccntef, thus
conducted, fhould Be long and tedious,
owing to the adyene circumstances under
which truth may have 10 contend, yet the
victory will be certain and decihye-thc
elective ffanchiie will be maintained inits
purity, and our country governed by viz
tue and talents.
Ia this glorious eonaiA between truth
and faliehood, the heroes worthy of COM

and dignided purpofes, when by aao'ding
a complete protection TO individuals in To-
cissy, it enables u!etul citizens to cultivate
and improve focal bleGings, and thereby
add TO the common flock, from which all
derive their true happiness. In what |

Thus, aiTociates and fellow citizens,
have hunbly attempted, in the difcharge
