which has been, the grand instrument OF
deception, time immemorial; while the
grand deceivers have been called, or have
assumed the names OF i" The Friends Of
the people," Caesar, when marching his
legions to Rome to seize the government,
proclaimed that he went for the purpose of
vindicating the liberties q the feeP!e, OPP
pressed as he cunningly asserted, by an
aristocratic faction. This was the very
language held out by you gentlemen, and
your party, when eliminating and de-.

friend of the people, SO is Mr.. Schnsidher.
Catalina would reform the abuses OF the
people, so will Mr.. Schneidher, Catalina
would do justice to the people, 80 will Mr..
Schneidher. Caesar talked Of vindicating
the liberties of the people /; but by getting
the name of the man of the people," be-

public, saying Mr.. M'Kean was the friend
Of the people, that if they elected him, they
should all have cause to be satisfied with
his conduct. A counter.address has been
published at Philadelphia, accusing the
same M'Kean of being the enemy OF the
people, aud they who sign it call hem
selveS&he FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE. Here
is the looking.glass Of democracy and
demagogues. This is the eternal round
Of their practices--ever deceiving though
Always detected, and in the very act
of detection, while the brand of fraud
is fostering fresh upon their foreheads,
planning and preparing fresh deceits
without so much as changing their forms,
affecting novelty, or attempting conceal
