serable can't of The democrats, and is no.

Some attention is paid 10 this place to
improving the breed ofcasle. Ihave seen
advertised ga beautiful TWO year old Colt,
sixteen hands high. viii very good action,
and remarkably full Of bone" This Colt,
raised on fasm here, sprung from old
HECTOR, who is said to have g carried
a very heavy gentleman up to the head of
the feeiest pack offox hounds in Eogland. =
The same farmer adver,ises "high bred
Pigs, which be recommends as having a
. thin skin, aud little or no bone. Another
bespeaka nosice 10 "a, fine yearling Bull"
/ descended on one side from "a fiue i'm
ported bull" The place is indebted for
this Improvement to few English settlers,
and is must be Of essential service, as the
land is peculiarly adapted to grazing. /
koow not, however, whether it may not
be opposed by the democrats; and whether
they may noe see iu the stock coming from
England, which is under a monar ehicsl
government, a design to introduce mouar
chy here.
g. | am inclined TO believe that the de-.
nocratic leaders have entirely ruined their
influence of the people, at the late election
of governor. The vile means which
they take to ,delude the people are gradual.
ly coming to light, and will render them
unworthy of credit again. They are new
laying their schemes for the election Of
the next president of the u. S. They
have played complete farce in petitioning
Mr.. Jefferson to consent TO be candidate
.sgain, and then immediately decrying his
administration. The fed=ralists have been
uniform ia their disapproba,ion; but tho
wretched demagogues have no other prin
ciple of conduct than their own imaginary
in teres.."
