pre(ent and deceive, in order 10 give it iucce.s.
The i,a opinion naturally produces iuatteation

While ii. tedcrats on the approach OF an impor'

their political adve,fAres ieize and emp OF every

Nov ,hi, is all right and proper. The people it
Lett to themfelves will vote wrong, repuol'caniim

Tor chef: chofea friends and iervants OF the people
to take the buiiGeis into their own hands, and then
there will be no dagger. Tue the contribution Is

Our friends in the county Of York have already
had ;her bufinefs done for them. Under the mak
of t,a, the true blue fons of liberty snd anz,chy
have held a caucus at kennebunk, and have app
pointed Senators for the year eniuing. IT'S true
one of them is not an inhabiant of the county. o,
of the Dillriea of Maine bu, then he may b., be
fore hi. choice is confirmed ny the people, or at
al before his ienatorial year expires; and fup
pofe he never hould be fhzl the enlightened cti
zens OF that county be deprived OF tie abilities OF
/" man who would do honor to any aiIenlbly on
ea,ih," merely becaufe he belongs to another part
Of the Commonwealth? IT'S true ALTO, thar one
of thefe Senator'S thus appointed, may by the laws
Of the land, be p,efnmed to be Without fufic'snt
property 70 qualify him for feat in the Senate
but Gill he may acquire enough before he is called
upon to take the oath and it ne hould, fhall
theie enlightened citizens resu.e to be reprelensed
by /ucb man, on fush paltry confederation
This Kennebunk caucus, which by the way. in
order to have had It's frierds about it, ought to
have been held ~ Saco has been kind enough to
recommend the Attorney. General as Governor. in
