feet of the blows to which two parties would
be inevitably subject. And yet | am oPpos-
ed to going to either the savages or TO Eu-
ropean vocabularies for party names. The
Tories and Wings of Europe are both In
glish monarchists, and both were abandoned
with contempt at the declaration OF lndepen-
dence; yet,he late imported foreigners are
attempting to revive these monarchical
names! The origin of which must disgust
every true American.
The original tories were a set OF savag-
es who robbed in the country, in Ireland
while the wings, or wigs, were town pick
pockets, who frequently changed their wigs
for disguise, as they were running from
their pursuers in the streets of Dublin
Now what have the Americans to do with
either of these appellations, or with the
principles held bywhig and tory monarch
lists, who only differ on tria;ng point of re-
form, but are both monarchists.

correct statement of that revenue for

but may be estimated as will appear by the

which accrued during the first quarter of tnis
year did not much exceed one million of dol

the West Indies during the last six months
OF thlsyear; yet, considering that there will
be no arrivals from China and the East In
