THE conduct Of the democrats in
this county, affords rather singular
comment on the democratic eclama-
ton concerning the freedom Of election
and sovereignty Of the People. How
often have they denounced, even at
a town caucus and falsely charged the
Federahsts with holding an opinion
that the People are their own worst en-
emies, but the leaders Of democracy
are now practising this very doctrine
these dictators Of Bonaparte liberty
and equality, assemble from the several
towns in the county, at Gray, and there
in fact, close two Senators for the
approaching election, and vote unani-
mously f" to spare no pains" to procure
a confirmation of this choice on the
first Monday of April next, by those
who may be weak or slayish enough to
obey the mandates of these selfs6led
respectable REPUBLICAN Delegates -
Such conduct as this strikes at the very
@OOt of free government for, the mo-
ment any set of men set themselves up
to conToul the public voice there is an
end to ali our boosted privileges and
an aristocracy, more despotic and ty-
ranlcal IN its operation than that Of an
absolute monarchy, will shortly bury
our rights and liberties in one common
grave.

exists in this country two political par

vain to reason with ---Iet them a.
lone-they have sworn to worship their
idols--but to the honest democrats who
have been induced to vote against Mr.
STRONG from a belief that he was
untriendiy to the revolution, (fOr the
LIE has been so often told and repeated
with unblushing effrontcry that we are
not surprlzcd that many should be de-
Celved by it) we recommend an atten-

to the question where was, and what
was CALEB STRONG, in the " dark

may every friend to the amiable and
