Some remarks in the last Argus

many we'll disposed, credulous people,
who are not fully apprized Of the demo
cratic mode Of attack, to be admitted
by the Federalists, and therefore true
His Editorship has proved himself
somewhat of political druggist in
the compound he has made of truth
and falshood.
1t is in the first place true, that on
Monday was the election Of Reprysen-
tatives--on Saturday evening a Federal
Caucus was held, and the friends Of
Washington, adams, and Strong,
were invited to attend--It. Is al
so true that many democrats were pre-
sent and strange as it may appear,
that they did for once conduct with de-
cency on public occasion--altho' their
intrusion evinced that modesty cOmpC-
sed no part Of their nature.
AS usual at all regular meetings for
business, the Federalists, at their eau
Gus, first proceeded to choose chair
man or moderator-This stepjt seems
excitcs Argus animadvertion, because,
no call was made for "centra- minded" "
L was deemed unnecessary. Who,
can It be presumed, were contra-min-
ded ?-Doubrless every democrat IN
the house, and none had any business
there.-Why did not some Of the dis
satisfied crew, after having intcrloPed'
object 10 the choice AZ The time ] an
swer in their own language they dar-
ed not" Had the house been polled,
they were conscious it would have ex-
hlblted their weakness which waa SUI
ticiently apparent from trial on the
| day Of election. But we are told, they
attended with disposition to defend
republican principles from insult, and
meet any on the ground Of democratic
argument-(meaning, | presume, their
usual argument, misrepresentation and
f: abuse How bold this is to declare
what they zrclaG have done. 1t is well
we are apprized OF their motives after
the election Is past. Whenever any
thing is advanced, which is worthy OF
serious argument, the Federalists are
I ready candidly to meet it-Rut vhen
a cause has no better support than the
democratic feculence, which appeared
on Monday morning in the form Of
Little -frgRs," it must be considered
| weak, and its support contemplate.
Notwithstanding the Little Argus
prophecy, the event of the election OF
Representatives, has proved as usHai,
honsurable to the town, and triumph
of good Principles.

CAUCUS.-No. +.

The propriety of holding cauchfes
previous to the election of public Of
ficers by the people, as it has been
for long time praaifed, cannot now
be called in queftion. 1t is juitised
by a confederation of the inexpedien-
cy of difcuaing the merits or demerits
of candidates at a town meeting.-
