Hunt out these self appointed conservators
Of the liberties Of the people. Expose their
arts and intrigues to the view Of their de-
luded followers. Scatter The light Of truth
through the mists of ignorance and mis-
representation in which they are endeavor-
ing to involve your neighbo.s. So shall the
cause Of liberty and order be crowned with
success, and your reward be glorious
