Mr.. SHIRLEY,
The writers in your paper, have manfully
canvassed the characters of the two candl-
dates in the county of York, for the next
Congress, and explicitly stated the reasons,
why the election Of Mr. Leland should be
preferred to the reelection Of Mr.. Cuts. l
should not have wished you to make an in
sertion for me, had it not have been for the
vile and contemplate conduct Of some of the
leading democrats.
When the immunities, which are guaran-
teed to our citizens by the constitution, are
wantonly trampled under foot, BY these e
lectionecring demagogues, think it du-
ty, owe to myself and my country, to ex-
pose, in some degree, their wickedness.
"A good and honest, but poor citizen OF
the town of Parsonsfeld, in conversation
with one of his neighbors, relative to the
ensuing election, observed, he should like
to vote differently from what he had done
for some time past, as he was fully conyn-
ced that he had done wrong in voting for
such men as Mr., Cuts but he had been
threatened to be torn to pieces, and have
his property all taken from him, if he did
not vote agreeably to his former principes''
Democrats in Parsonsheld, who have
threatened this poor man, if he did not vote
consonant to your wishes, stop, for q mo-
ment, consider who you are, and what you
are doing.
Had those threats have been made by q
Virginian planter, should not have been at
all surprised, but when they are made BY
New nglandmen, the blood of the patriot
ic. sons of liberty is concealed at the sound
! hope the inhabitants Of Parsons6elt
will, on the first Monday Of November ne II
be mindful Of their duty.
Buckle on the helmet Of selfpreservation
remembering you are FREEMEN, and tina
the master of a cottage, is better than de
pendant in palace. Come forward, like
good and honest Americans, and give youl
votes for Mr.. Leland.

Electors Of Cum5eyland Disvict,
In April last, you regained that high char
acter you are so Justly entitled to III the SEN
ate of this commonwealth, by electing two
federal Senators. During only two years,
you were represented BY democrats. In this
period, your state treasury was defrauded
Of Sixty-Six Thousand Dollars, your part of
which you had earned by the sweat Of your
brow, and paid to your town collectors.
When your Senate was composed Of ma
jority of democrats, no correct inquiry was
allowed to be made, as to the use Of your
money. Defaulter Skinner still carried on
his work ofembezzlement but the moment
your Senate became federal, (Which was ow-
ing to your electing federalists) a stop was
put to this work Of iniquity. Thisis only one
Of the many benefits which you will gain BY
the election Of federal men. Persevere then.
and not suffer your glory TO be furnished.
Preserve and cherish the reputation Of your
district. Be wise fo- yourselves. Your indi-
vdual prosperity and happiness rest on the
question. Let every friend to lis own, and
his country's prosperity, resolve to use all
