institutions, which from his childhood
he has been taught to venerate and re-
spect and he looks toward with fear
and trembling to that hour when from
the sflirit Of resentment or ffurfy fury,
our very CouRTs OF JUSTICE will be-
come prophaned By the unkaltoz0ed
hands of Ignorance and Crime.-When
Lazv and Evidence shall be treated with
indifference or contempt, and the
cause be decided by the passions OF the,
Judge, or the open and shameless sub
version of moral frincitLe and common
sen. se.--Alas, my friends, Have we
not seen any thing like this in our land ?
judge ye---Let the citizens be treated
like men Of common understand
ing and common share Of honesty, and
principle-but let them not boused like
stocks and stones, or wheedled out of
their christian names by the deceivers
of the day and such foolish argu-
guments as they are capable of urg-
ing. They are begged and command
ed to unite in the majesty of their
strength, to remove Governor Strong,
from the chair of state, and to turn from
Office all who have enjoyed the good
opinion of such men as Washington and
Adams.-The charges against Cover
ner Strong, are ridiculous beyond de-
scripion-His enemies can accuse him
of no one crime during his whole life
his only depravity consists in his indie
fiendence ofnlind-his christian sleekneSs
his SIMPLICITY Of life and conduct, and
in devotion of thirty years to the SER
vice of his country in all It's various
commotions and dangers--they have
been compelled to go back thirty-fve
gears in search Of something to charge
against him they say he is tory, be-
cause to prevent the further effusion Of
blood he signed an address to General
Gage, tho eUer since his country have
priced him and called on him for his
services.-But my friends, Mr. JET
PERSON, AFTER THIS, ADDRESSED
KING GEORGE, HIMSELF-Yet
no man accuses him Of crime or folly in
SO dolng.-ln fact no greater compI-
ment could be paid to the virtue and the
spotlesS life of Governor Strong, than
this, that his enemies were compelled
to look far back into the last century, to
find wherewith to accuse him. Attend
then on this memorable day, and prove
your attachment TO your country and
your love for your families and friends,
by using every exertion to ensure the
Election of His Excellency CALEB
STRONG, ESQ. as your Governor

the good old ship Massachusetts, after

ence and bad conduct of the officers in
the JTara- Room, and the mudnous be-

hrmness and good conduct of heI old
commander, that the ship has not been

entirely lost yet, Notwithstanding this
and thousand other instances Of his
experience and steady management,
there is determination among num-

st0(eed him azvay in his hammock. Now
&ti1-mqteS, what think you Of such
Commander as this : one that never

unity Of the state, dear to you liz SO,
arouse-collect in the majesty Of your
strength, and oppose mighty barrier
to the foes, who are wishing to destroy
them. FederahSts Of Portland -
Can you bear the reproach, which your
supineness has suffered, that the me-
trepolis Of Name, once the head-quar-
tiers of good principles, has at length
become corrupt? The defenders OF
her glory have forsaken their posts
The besiegers who have been proving
in darkness, have seized the favorable
opportunity and by your negligence,
entrenched themselves in your Citadel
VIII you not convince the world, that
altho' for a moment you have neglect
ed your duty, you are conscious Of the
error, and are now determined to re
turn with fresh vigor to the post you
have deserted.
If energy was ever required, now IS
the time Now is the opportunity to
save yourselves and your country from
impending destruction. ... Think,
Federalists, what will be the situa ton
of this once happy State, should the
enemies of law, liberty and religion
remove your present wise, good and
independent chief magistrate from his
seat, and introduce to this honorable
Office, hitherto honorably filled, man,
which, to say the best, silence would
be the best trumpeter Of his praise -
What would then become Of your
rights ?-The sanctuaries, which has
hitherto preserved their peace, would
become polluted. :. You have but late
ly had an example, how little they are
regarded by that ignorance and profit
gacy, which would then profane the
temple of Justice
Think of the evils which will attend
a change, and such change, in the
first Office Of our government. Think
of the blessings which will surround
you, your affairs, your fresides-aIl
that is dear to you by having rulers
who place judgment to the line, and
righteousness to the plummet; who
despise the gain Of ottresSions, and
shake their hands from holding brides"
instead of those, whom ambition only
prompts to elevation who study not
what is right, but what will CRAFTY the
dreg8 of society who support them
Now is the time to manifest your love
for merit to show your attachment to
TRUE LIBRRIY-Let frmness, spirit
and unanimity lead you to the contest.
Unite heart and hand,
Like LEoNIDAs' band,
And swear to the Con Of the Ocean
and Land,
I" Thar ne'er shaH The Sons gfCoLuNH1A 5e

FEDEKALIsTs OF PORTLAND!

HE time has now come, which is to
determine, whether those proud honors
which have always distinguished the
most flourishing town in the District of
Maine, are to be humbled in the dust
or whether, like Sampson, unsuspicious
OF the dangers which surrounded YOU,
and too confident Of your powers, YOU
have been lulled into sleep, while your
enemies have been watching to deprive
you otyour strength. Their arts have
oeen successful. Already has your
bright fame which before 1907 shone
with such splentor, been furnished by
the unhailowed touch Of democracy. !.

IN the death Of the Rev. DR.. STILL
MAN, Of Boston, you have lost an able

He was man Of taste, Of learning
and accomplishments and all was
crowned with strict integrity, sound
morality, and every christian virtue
Let it be added that he was an UNsHAK-

you not pay more credit to the truth
and judgement of DR.. Stillman, than to
those who delight in abusing our ex-

GOVERNOR STRONG IS SUCH A MAN
AS HIS ENEMIES DECLARE HIM TO
BE, HOW COULD Dr.. STrLLmAN Es-

cio7vs as some others have done and
sill are trying to do.-Last year Ned
vas turned OFT, and an old soldier put
IN his place but when the ship was
bout sailing on her craze, the old fellow
declined his appointment, under an ap-
prehension Of suffering by sea-stckneas,
want Of nowl.dge in sedmanshHi, or
being too old to undertake an Office
that would require him to stand his
match. So the ship has gone the whole
cruize without a First-Li, ZtenGnt-and
| bt leive dad as she has been managed)
quite as well without him as with him.
To complete their folly the same gang'
that turn'd Ned out and put in the old
soldier, are ever as busy as flock OF
Shear-7raters in storm, trying to get
in a andRub5erby the name OF Lincoln,
one that don't know a fotnt Of the COM
fasS, and has such an impeachment IN
his speech, that before he could give
the word ready about, ten to one, but
the ship would be hard and fast ashore.
Not long since he opened his" clam-
shelf I'D a court-nlartial, and attempted
to inform the court, that he, as Judge
advocate, meant TO steer, through the

on tEvo t9int course : but he made such
BICYCLING piece Of werk Of it, as to
J convince every one, that he could not
Dor the comhaSs. And as to his cour-
age, the only proof he has ever given
of that, is his challenging all the chat-

the fathers of our independence,

wisely determined that the Liberty Of the

an opportunity of exposing the miscon-
duct Of those who are entrusted with the
execution Of the several officers Of gov
eminent, and assist to effect the discon-

Mr.. ADAMS,

WHILST noticing the queries in your
last Gazette Of g A private in the Infantry
Company in this town." and highly approx
ing the willingness which YOU evinced in
lending part of one of your columns TO mo
doubt what YOU concened) the injured Sol
der, was highly Disguised with the occa-
sion which gave rise to them. Being a
spe ctator Of the voluntary exercise to which
he almdes, and readily percciving the
Private's" motives in putting these queries
to be none other than to screen himself
from the imputations which he had incurred
by his unsoldier like conduct, regretted
extremely that his conauct had not been
made known to you--in which case l am
confident his queries would rever have
made their appearance in your paper.
Justice to the officers Of that company de-
mands full statement Of all the circum-
stances which occasioned this affrav but as
his misconduct II too indecorous to gain adj
mittance into public print, it win suffice to
say, out OF 10 or II spectators who were
present, there was not single one who
thought the least blame ought to be attach
ed to the officers.
To his other queries, no other answer ia
necessary, to unmask his designs, than to
discover to the public that instead Of being
Federalist, as he has imprudently insinuat.
ed, he has uniformly opposed the Federal
cause. One If the Spectators.
