doubt whether Calender or Duane,
who were the principal writers in the Au-
rora at the time this jubilee was proclaim
ed, was the real author Of it for l had
heard fome years before almoit the fame
language and phrafes from the mouths of
Jeferfon's particular friends and Importers
who have been fenators and reprefenta-

From the foregoing we may conclude
that however honorable the term repubi-

under which we live, but blind dsvotion
to him and bis party to make any body,
and any creature, creole or monkey, as
good republican as himlelf. Does Jeffer-
ION believe there is great lalt mountain
in Louifana then whoever believes the
fame is go0d republican. Does JefIerfon
believe it is for the interea of the United
