Before the Jacobins rose obe our mas
tiers, they not unfrequ salty endeavored TO.
soo,he cur apprehensions by assuring US
that the national government in It's frame
and in its essential policy and measures,
would be preserved, all the difference
would be that other men would 1.-THE pub
lie stations. These assurances no doubt,
helped to quiet the Federalis.ss and to,
iengthen the nap that their Incidence has
ever been so unwilling 10 disturb, for the
Tacobins have quaffed their zeal from the
distii house, while we drink OF Lethe:---
Their partizans however had far other and
more solid expectations than such as an,ns-'
ed and palsied our minds. They were
told that the government Of the United
States is too near the hated model of the
British monarchy to be endured, and must
se; altered; and thar we were IN che high
road TO tyranny and must not only stop
short but face about and march the other
way. An aristocratic Senate must be
brought down to the democratic floor; this
is already announced for the next session
of Congress- The Judiciary IS too inde.
pendent of the people, and therefore must
be made always to fear, and sometimes to
feel wha. Mr.. Randolph can do TO annoy
the judges, for Mr.. Randolph is the peo-
pie. The taxesrcached the whiskey men:
and taxes and law and government are obi
Gus shackles which they fed beyond seas
and beyond our mountains 70 escape or
throw off.
In all this, we see real an effective full
filment of the promises made to their party
and disappointment of all they made to
US aud when we look forward to that aw-
ful futurity whose black yapours are ga
thering heavy with tempest in our sky, we
see that the past is only the earnest & fore
taste of what is 70 coIne. We see that de
mocracy, wild and merciless as that tenn.
pest, is to loosen our old established liber
" from its 6xture in the ground and to
whirl ITS fragments into the air before we
can enjoy the long calm Of despotism which
invariably succeeds it. In thus state OF
things, the man who has much hePe Tor
the publicliberty must be the artliccr q
his own consolation. He can shut has eyes
or go down into the cellar as children do
when it lightens, and say what is there TO
oe afraid os.
lin these circumstances the Fedcralists,
remain tranquil and. bear whatsoever -
imposed, assthey do, surely the designing
Jacobins oughsto bear with them II they
do not without wincing bellows all that Is
taught; ifthey do not expect that as soon
as power has passed from Washington to
Jefferson, from. the, patriotism and wisdom
of the nation TO its vice; land ambition, we
are on, of danger from demagogues at rest
from the scofers oil. faction: If we do not
calculate upon escaping the fate OF all O.
,ther Republics who have suffered hrst one
faction to usurp their governments, and
then ariyalfaetion to contend In arms with.
the usurpers for the mastery, till lava and.
order aye4perished never to revive again,
till the will of the 2conqueror became the,
T only law and, his sword its interpreter. s's

err, you will say; but still I'VE believe it
all. we are as little troublesome to you

arr ogant Of masters could desire. from the
most abiect of,slaves; and ifyou can shew
that we err, that we mistake or magaify
our periis. may vwhiskey give you clio.

our condition. there would be comfort in
the delusiye hope thatit will mend itself :
