They knew, who were faid TO be his
brothcrs-they knew the debt Of
fome thorfands of dollars he had
paid in BerkjBire--they had heard
furmifes Of his bargains on the ex-
change-and they underflood how
far his private funds wese adequate
TO all thefc enterprises. They had
heard too, that men Of fortune had
offered to pay the State, Eve thou-
land dollars annually for the treafurY,
zritbout a jfsLayy, with the fame priv
iIeges Mr.. SfiEney had sfumed. Bat
the ka9frs Of the democrats nilI con-
tinued him their candidate, and uGed
their influence, and gave their votes
10 fecure his reelection. Nothing
but the principle and-perfeverance Of
their opponents trfeued our revenue
from wider havoc.
The well diipofed and hcnef dem
ocrats who have followed the cum
ningly deyifed fables Of unpriDcipled
demagogues, are now called upon 70
coniider, If they have not been de-
ceiyed. They viii think if the pre-
tended love Of the people Of which
they hear and read 70 much, IS not
the mere hocus Pocus dialea Of po-
iirical jGgglers. BY fome legerde-
main their revenue has flown out Of
fght, and we fear whether they will
find any Trick to get it back. They
rnuf feel too thar the ruinous policy
Of the federal government, has "trip
ped them Of their ready cafa, while
a baleful policy at home, will opPrefs
them with unprecedented taxes,
which they have no means Of paying.
Surely they win feel thar this is E
Egyptian flayery, and they will refcuc
themfelves from bondage and diff
grace, BY reaoring ;heir confidence
to men, who led them or to fame
and fortune.

In the lat Chronicle it is aiTerted,
that the committee appointed to fet-
tie with the Treafurer, pajbe9 him
lnreat5na5b for az ipimea!ate aaJnf-
Drent, contrary to ancient critorn aud
ufage, and that this Treafurcr was
iuddenly called upon for the efima-
ted amount due from him, and his
health not permitting him to attend,
The committee reported hir: 10 the
Governor and Council as deficient.
1t is not true that Cen. Skinner
was intentionally Puf1ed for ali Inn
mediate at;uitment Of his accounts,
or was fuddenlY called upon for the
estimated amount of them.
The committee, understanding
from the officers Of the Treafury,
that the books probably could not be
ported up prior to the month Of Sep
tember, without further aiIiitanre in
the office, conteAted themfelves with
recommending, that the cloGpg the
books fhould be attended to, as fpee-
oily as the other avocaticns Of the Of
fee would permit, until the deGcien-
cy O. the late 1'reafurer was made
apparent TO them, VIXEN they conGd-
cred il as required of them, to re-
commend TO Mr.. DWIGHT, to en-
ploy an additional clerk in the Trea-
fury 10 poh Up the books, and to ar
certain the AMOUNT Of The defalcation.
1t is trn-, that the conlmitte did
repeatedly urge Gen. SEINNEy to
pay over TO kis fucce{For, nearIy TIE
arlstnt Of fbs hff.jfdc6 G balance due
from him to the Commonwealth. II
is true, they itstcd 70 hing thar from
information eived-fron the Trea-
furer, there was fcareely money en-
oueh in the Office 70 meet the current
experces of the Government thar
10 difcharge the intaIment of the
public debt which was payable on
the IL OF July, the Ireafurer would
have location for all the money be-
longing to the Comnonwealrh-tliat
if Cen. Skinner did not pay over the
amount retained by him, the Pre-
fi1rc7 would be under the neceaity
of borrowing it on account Of the
Sratc from the banks,* and tiatthe
committee were willing aud dearous
to aaiR Gen Skinner IN counting tie
bills, or in rtranfa6ting xn4 other
part of the buGnefs, which might fa-
cilitate the payment Of the bAlance.

Yet fuch is the unhappy prevalence
Of prejudice in the national council,
that while our Tutoring and defence

their negIs6E and the leafon Of ca

We have thus proclaimed TO the

cations and alarm, this will be the

mode of our revenge. And tbo they
may deny US the glory of acting with
national fpirit, they cannot deny Us
the Praile OF fufering with humility.
