You we'll remember. fellow citizens,
that on the execution, abroad, OF British
malefac,or, guilty of piracy and murder,
the republican party, as it is called, endea-
vored to arouse the indignation Of all Anue-s
RIGA against the president, Tor having, as
he was bound by solemn treaty, surren-
dered this mslefactor to justice but IN the
whole course of the depredations commit
ted on our trade by Algiers, and, alter
wards, by France, did you ever hear this
parry raise its voice ia behalf ct thu en-
/ terprising, the brave, bur unfortunate A.
merican sailor, who dragged the ignomlri>
Gus yoke of slavery on the burning coast
Iof Africa, or pined in the }oa,hseme dcr-
geens Of France.
| So true is is, fcllow.citizens, that what
! eyey M easure the administrations of Wash.
| ingt6n and Adams recommended Or adopt
| ed, for our security or honor, it was sure
to meet with opposition from these exclu-
sive patriots.
+ Not satisfied, however, with ai$rebre-
senting their measures, venal Authors and
| presses were hired and maintained, to as
perse and vilify tasjr CHARACTERS. The
atrocious charge Of pecula,ion was uttered
against the last adns inistrasion, by wretch,
who, as occasional Printer to the present &C.
/ vernment, is now IN the annual receipt OF
thousands of your dollars. This charge
was echoed thro' all the ranks of democra-
cy, although, after it had served the pur-
| pose for which it was fabricated, the ve.y
men whon IT had contributed to raise to
power and splendor, were obliged to pro-
aounce it felse. Nor can we omitto call
to your recollection the discourage ment al
forded by some of the very meu who now
preside over us to the infamous author Of
pamphlet, called IS The pRospEeT Be-
FORE U.s." most detestable libel on the
fair faaas Of Washington.
| Thus, fellow. citizens, the Antl-Fetleral-
lists, Jacobins, Democrats, Republicans,

err. And, setting aside the means by
which they rose into distinction, no Hen
ever entered upon rhe administration OF a
fgovernment, under more suspicious cir
cumstances. The administrations Of Wash
! ington and Adams labored under the dis
advantages Of setting nezu ,geusrnment in
motion. A Feasra} Republican governme9st
over SO vast a territory as the u. States,
! holding IN union SO many local and Earring
Interests on so broad a principle Of repre-.

lsout examrle, either in ancient or modern
! history. This experiment, fellow-cinsens,
SO interesting 70 the world, as well as to
| ourselves, had been crowned with success;
aud success the more satisfactory, as the
