SATURDAY, AUcUsr TO-.

In our reviews of the conduct Of the
democrats, on the 4th Of July lait, We
have hitherto avoided commenting on the
way in which they handled the reyered
memory of H21e9ngtoa. The prints prof
tisnted to the party, fill echoing their
virtuous toalfs on shat day, we have judg-
cd ii high tine 10 devclope their mesnng
on thar location. When we recollett,
that thofe ientilncnts are not the rrfultof'
the inconvenience prepared at she feitive
board, when the ciTciing glafs might have
inaamed the brain-llut penned cody and
delibcratelya day or two before, we may
calculate upon their being tie real ienti-
ments of the company.
The memory of that great and good
man, was handled with con{ummate art J;
but the veil was ini}antly torn aide, and
difcovered the ST. Tammany fociety at
New York, either totally ignorant otthe
meaning OF their toal, or wiIfully infult
ing his names.
Did they mean to convey reipett, when
they compared Warrington TO Themiito.
cles? The file aud connection of the
whole fentencc would warrant luch an
idea from afuper6cias obferver but thole
who have only fmall fnattering Of hif
tory, will foon perceive glois infult
therein, upon the memory of the Father
of our Country.
Rober,fon, 10 his hifory Of Greece,
iays, that Themifocles was plebean by
birth, ambitious, and in feyeral infances
inltigated fedition in Athens. When op-
pofed by Articles, impatient of controul
from that rigid cenfor, he refoIved to free
his hands of him at once. For that pur-
poie he privately formed faction, who
procured lentence Of banifhment upon his
opponent.
90 the whole Theiaiaocles appears to
have bean the very character, which in
our days we call Democrat. He
could aatter and deceive the people, for
his aggrandizement; and by craft fup-
plant thoie who food betwixt him and
power. The dehgns Of the Dcmagogue
were, however, at length difcovered, and
he ia his turn was exiled.
What affinity the fons of St. Tammany
can find between Thcmiaocles and Wafh.
ington, we know ro.-but we find the
inluls little ihort of that thrown upon
Adams, Jay, and Chafe.

To THE FARMERS.

The ingenious Timothy Kirk, who is
we'll known for his Kill in mechanilm, has
lately contributed machine for tbralbing
Clover Seed, that tends very much to LEI
fon manual labour. The machine may be
feen in operation at Caleb Kinks farm a.
bout two miles from this Borough. Il
will readily occur to every intelligent
perion, that a damp atmofp here, will IN
create the difficulty of thralhing. With
this machine, however, Man, Boy
and a Horfe will thrafh ONE HUN
DRIED BUSHELS of Clover Seed IN a
month. The Horle's draughs will not
be greater, than is required for firing
s 1-is av1juasea by ,hofe
who have feen the operation, that it viii!
al leaf fave the labor of 6fteea hands PEI,
day, from the common practice of thrafh-
ing.
It is fuppoled that the machine will not
colt more than Twenty or Thirty DOL
lars, including the patent right. Hand
mills on the fame principle, will come
confderably lower.
Mr.. Kirk, who lives in this Borough,
we underfand, will give fuller defcrip-
sion of this valuable machine, TO any per-
