FeR THE sAZET1s,
Mn ADAMS,


AS recent proof Of the predomin-
ance Of French influence in our gov
eminent, witness the silence (if not APP
Probation) of the ruling party as to the
arbitrary, unjust and despotic DEGREES
and conduct Of Bonaharte towards this
country; whilst they censure in the
most incorporate manner the least de-
Walton on the part OF Britain.
But it may be said, the British were
our enemies, & the French our friends.
1t is true, the French formerly assisted
US and this gratified their own hatred
70 England. X Is also true, we wished
the French people success in their
struggles for liberty il 1890, and '93 !;
bur from the shresent French govern
ment. We have received no fayors-
from the fre4en FrtncA rulers, we can
justly expect no mercy Bonaharte is
the greatest Gespot ON the globe. His
DEGREES are ruinous 10 our commerce.
lbs military operations hostile TO liber-
~ TIE has Cnslayed all the free coun-
tries III Europe; and TO humble Great
Brilain, would destroy our trade and
our independence. And will the peo-
pie Of Anne ica submit to lis ambitious
views Must We quarrel with Eng
land, which is evidently DISPOSED TO
maintain peace with US, and able to do
US immense damage Must we do
this to please the tyrant Of France and
to further his views Of conquering the
English
.4metfcans-It is time TO awake from
our slumbers ! pcradyenture our liber.
ties arc wrestcd from us forever! Is
not freedom yet dear to us {? Have we
fought for Independence, TO become
the slaves Of foreign despot? No!
you will say 1: We will still be free.
The meaas. perhaps, are yet III our
power-we are allowed to choose our
Rulers Resolve, then, to place the
friends of peace and Of our country in
Office, and We may hope for better
times. A FEDERAL REPUBLICAN.

I" The sceptre of power has been
wrested from the grasp of usurPing
dominion. ca Virtue and patriotism
(b have reclaimed Massachusetts from
the paths of error, and the direction Of
these false guides, who pointed her
steps to danger and destruction, and
have accomplished her harmonious re-
union and cooperation with her sister
republic. (cJ Her independent yeo-
'manry remembered the price of their
liberties. They called to mind their
struggles for freedom, the perils and
hardships they encountered in vindica-
ton OF invaded right : And having o.
verCome the tyrant's power and tramp
led on his arrogant pretensions, they
disdained again to ubmit, like the war
Elephant, to the goad that stung them
before. az They asserted their cen
sututional privilege, and cast out from
the temple Of power, the peculators Of
public property, the innovators of pub
lie justice, the peryerters Of the pub
lie mind, and the enemies of liberty
and equal rights lei and devoted the
imposiorS and their artifice, the deceiv-
ers and their delusion, the conspirators
and their mischief, 10 universal abhor-
renee and detestation. LII Integrity
and talents Isl succeeded in the ad-
ministration of affairs of state.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
We congratulate you on the event.
We rejoice with you on the increased
prevalence of those principles which
are the elements Of our excellent con
s.rution, and the security of those
prominent advantages enjoyed BY the
citizens of the United States IN.
To the republican officers of cur
state government, executive and legis-
lative, for their ability, patriotic zeal
and faithfulness in the discharge of
their RESPECTIVE duties, honor, praise,
and gratitude are due. The county
committee have pleasure in expressing
their confidence in them, and their ap-
probation Of their Official conduCtIil !;
and In recommending to The strenuous
support of their fellow electors OF Cum
berland, the same candidates as first
magistrates for the commonw cath and
Senators for this district, which were
proposed and chosen by them for the
past year. Let not former success pre-
vent further exertion. Do hot lest in
active, In the confidence OF security,
lest the enemy find you sleeping at
your posts and prevail over you. Jeal-
ousy is the guardian OF republican lib
erty.
A dark cloud lowers in our pcetieal
hoY lion III. Ptradyenture il is but the
wind, from whose fury The wisdom OF
our rulers has preserved our sails [kl.
But If 1t be the lowering TEN pest Of
war, let il be remembered that AmeIi-
can genus discovered tie art TO direct
the lightning and disarm the tom u.
Reposing merited trust in tie rulers OF
the nation, we will be prepared for
whatever service the destInlt Of our
country may require. Be pleased to
receive assurances of our respectful
consideration.
