Letter vindicatory.

In the last tory breathing paper of Staun-
ton, the Editor CO nplains most bitterly that
n Federallsts o. Richmond and Manches-
ter, IN theirla;e meeting, eUinced an aban-
donnient IF hyincihie, 7cithout ASSIGNING
any Plausible hretert. We should like to
know in what this Abandonment consists /
what principle they have deserted, and IN
deed what principle they ever had? They
were for a long time remar kabIe for con-
s,stency, il that means a 81 cking tore her
like a, party of Rs. But they have for
long time forfeited even that character,
and many of them have become Wanderers
for any Cause, 10 matter how bad prov ded
II Is opposed to the present ..dmln StratIo =.
Say not that We are harsh, for out Of your
own mouths we will condemn you. Ii is
confessed by the Pinkney com nitree, in
their address in the same paper, wherein
they state that the FedcruhSfs Of Rich-
nao'id do no, aol,oca:c mfr. Monroe, because
they zish him 20 succeed, 6u thai his
name sh ND Be made use Ct 10 defeat
The eiec ion ofAis ohtionenf, Mr. Madison.
| But here follows the cream OF the Joke.
The Pinknev Federal committee OF StAun-
ton, with great deal OF pomp and ankle
ty, dispatched their address and electoral
ticket to be published in Mr. Davis'a pa
PER of the 18th of October. they no doubt
expected 70 have cut dash IN the prints.
And who can divine why they did not |!
I.aughabIe enough-their papers were seiz-
ed and suppressed by the Monroe Federal
Committee OF Richmond. A parry of men
! whom, they say, 7vere unknozun to them
thro' the 4ohofe frogreSs IF their proceed
ings. Thus persisted the hopes and glory
of this grand committee, by handful of
denounced apostates. 1t is suggested to
be doubtful, what course will be pursued
whether an action of detinue will be
bro't for these valuable documents, or whe-
Their The Pinkney committee will indict the
Monroe Federal committee for a wicked
and felonious seisure. 1t ought to be sug-
gested that Monroe's Doctors will be defen-
ded by known reporter and profound
Lawyer. Thus you perceive, gentlemen.
that law aud physic Cases and bousess are
against you.
