to do For the The exertons Of The Acobin inieref
at the late election have parallel. Even before
their candidates were ncrneed and before il was
known that any oppoft;on was to be made, their
IL Aamatoty pamphlets, papers and circular letters
were in IRAN to be circulated into he moi remote
parts OF the State too late to be con,rsdiaed. OF
for their fallhoocs to be eipofed. Ksowing this
faa, no one can be furprifed at the Gate Of tie
votes. But the trick c. not take again, and we
srua the votes will Rand very diferent, in this
diit'id at leaf, at our future election, Hitherto
the people in this quarter, accultoned ably

FnR. II il not a faa that tie hip Jofeph left any
papers At the ofice. / was not in The fl { when
her letters were left, but was told the CAPT. would
