AS Col. DuaneS appointment IS now a
principal theme of federal ciamor, justice TO
him, to the governme mt and to the cause oil
tru n, requires IN t we should correct two
talsehoods, which are considered as very
material by an unprincped faction, and ill.,
dustrious y circulated accordingly.
1t IS said Col Duane, as editor of the Au-
rora, published iii that paper a certain pom
ted piece against Gen. Washington, at the
time OF hrs resignation.
Ii is fact which cannot be controverted,
that at the time whea the piece in question
w s publ shed, Dune was not the editor OF
the Aurora, nor indeed till Ions; time after
wards.
Ii IS fact that Col. Duane is a native Of
America; though he was descended of Eu-
ropesn parents, and spent his youth in Eu-
rope and Asia.
Who, on ref1ection, will believe that fac
ton who have recently supported for CO..
vernon OF this state, a man resident a great
portion of his life in England, are sincere in
pretending to object to Duane, because as
well as Gore, he came from England to A
merica?
Duane, though native of America, was
born British subject; so was Gore so
were all natives of America, who are SO
years old. So far there is no distinction.
v
promoters, and who the opposers OF mat re-
volution which dissolved that allegiance to
Britain in which our elder citizens were
born! No one will pretend that Col Du me
was any way connected with its opposers.
Can as much be said of Gore, and of sena.
tor Lloyd
Who believes that a persons being an En-
giishman is alone disqualification in the
eyes of federalists? Though some of them,
for want of proper enquiries, may believe
Col. Duane to be such; yet this is not their
real objection. The talents, the spirit and
the unwearled perseverance and vigilance
with which he has detected and exposed
their falsehoods and Inconsistencies, and
their ignorance; his triumph oyer their at
tempts to crush him; and his essential a
gency in the establishment and preserya ion
OF republiCanisn these they can never for
give-these const, tute the inexh .usuble fuel
of their malice--these are their real objec
tions To Col. -l1uane's appointments to POST
of honor--wh CHI honor he has deserved AS
richly as he has deserved the glory of their
eternal haired.
1t is curious proof of the disposition of
England to he at peace with us, that she ne
yer fats 10 throw open her arms to the dis
turoers OF our government, and the violaters
ot our laws !--Democrat

Five sail oil British men of war were lying
at Havana when capt.rr. sailed, besides
number of English privateers. The fri
gate La Franchise, and brig Fire Fly,
which had been at Havana, had sailed for
Jamaica, with dispatches.
The British Officers are treated with
the most marked and enthusiastic respect.
1t appears TO be the firm determination
OF Cuba to declare itself independent, in
the event of Bonaparte's success against
the present government of Spain.

they have rciraIned from expressing the

The rash proceeding of the town of Bos-

surprising TO our fellow citizens in the

when the vote was taken, a very large
number of citizens who did not vote 4, all

conclusive and Irresistible. They were
