The violence Of the form has no appearance Of

of government ihali Be completely defroyed--
The doors Of congrcfs have been fi,u,, or ilcncc
adopted for argument to conceal from the people
a knowledge of the tranfactions of their mott
important concerns. The internal taxes, impo-
fed on Injuries, have been repealed, thar the
foulhern nabobs and wbiskey patriots may en-
JOY their pleaturcs without contributing to the
iupport of government while thoie, placed on
necedary articles of coniumption, have remain
ed. untouched, or been ipcreaicd, that the poor
may besomc more poor to fvell the depcnd-ne

quently repeated committee of prriecation,
called a committee of inveitigation, has been
appointed to make d report of pretended delin-

which has conhgned It 70 oblivion.
Great indeed NUT be thsr derravity, which
rcforts to the highet nationa. tribunal to ianc-
tioa landrr by an official ad, for the ruin of pri-
vate reputation. In vain have tie administrations
been required to point out the object TO which
large FUN Of money his been applied; no account
Of It has been obtained. The bank flock ofthe
q. States, bringing an intcre2 Of nearly 9 per
cent has been fold TO foreigners at an irnmenis
lois to difcharge debt, with an inicrea of only
per cent. The conlant depredations on bur
commerce, and the imprisonment of our fsamen
IN cold and dreary dungeons, have been behel6
with pathetic indifference.
Ths freedom of The prefs, the palladium Of
liberty, hes been invaded, By refuGng the accu-
fed permilisonto pivcshe truth in evidence in his
juiiincation. A man, formerly ,difgraced bv
Warrington for his Willingness TO lay the rights
of our country at the ieet Of direcfo.ial corrup-
ton, has been appointed miEifer to negociatc
on mof important national concern, and de-
mand rcdreis for the grestcf injury. The effect
OF this negotiation is the purchaic Of wilaer-
neis for fifteen millions Of dolllrs, which might
probably have been acquired much more cheap
ly. Over this territory has Mr.. Jeferfon been
conltltutca abtolute monarch, cloathed with =
patronage, which may ultimately be death TO
rational liberty. - Though he has violated rae
Contribution, it appears not to luit the views OF
his friends, until it can be 70 amended, as to
FIGURE his re election, and annihiatc federation.
I hofe emiasnt men, who have expofcd the by
poorly of the prefcnt government, and unTnaf-
ked their deigns, have been failed with what-
ever malice could fu2gee, or cunaing invent TO
blaR their reputation and deprive them of con-
6denoe- To complete this fcens of ignominys
the PRECEDENT himief has hired an abandoned
prohigate to caiumniate Warrington, and thofe
other great aud good characters, who with him
acquired national independence. He haftened
the return of Thomas Painc to this country, who
is not only an open revcr Of our political Savior,
but notorious blafphcmer of him by whole
death sone there is hope Of happiness beyond
The grave. Such conduct mutt dwell in the
memory Of poitcrity, and be eiteemed evidences
of want Of principle, for parallel to which
hiifory in vain may Be fearched.
Thefe are principal aas of an administrator
