YOU have been repeatedly I'D by
the leading democrats that the federal
lists are unfriendly TO your elective
rights, and that they are in favor Of a
system which would make Offices re-
tainable for life; but the very men who
tell you this, know that greater false
hood was never uttered by the father OF
lies. The fattis, the party that oppose
the federalists make these representa-
lions to answer as a cloak to cover their
real designs which Is, to get all pow
er into their hands and then cheat you
out of your rights and liberties, and
when it is too late to repent, you viii
have to bear with their unfeeling inso.

laid his plans to arrive at absolute power
with greater prospect of success

country have theirs. 1t now remain;

After great pains to collect the
voice OF the hcohie from all parts Of the

heard the Hon. Richard Cuts, since
his return from Washington to Pep.
peterborough, in fpeaKing Of new
election to Congress, observed that If
a man conducted well power ought to
be intrusted to him during his life.
He also observed in speaking of the said
election that he meant to make it his
business to elecdoneer for himself, and
that he had nothing else to do until his
return to Washington He also infor-
med me in August last, that he was GO

federal votes than Daniel Cleaves, the

On Mr.. Cuts return from Wafer

him that it was his right to be chosen
and that he dehed any person or persons

The latest letters received from Gen. Will

oath. He states that he was about moving the
army to the banks of the Sabine; and that
when there, he intended to propose to the
Spanish governor, that the American forces
should retire to Natchitoches, and the Spanish
forces to Nacosdoches The former place is
about 60 miles on this side, and the latter a.
bout eighty miles on the other side of the Sa-

son that this proposition would be acceded to.
In case it should not, he was not in the least
