paid greater interest for money lent
him than the God ofthe Christians
the man, pleased with the news, ask
ed where this God was TO be met
with The woman told him at such
church he had deputies that would
receive the sum they took the mo-
nev, and to the church they went,
where they saw some poor widows
sitting. The woman said, these are
the deputies 9th God of the Chris

and pay you interest the man, not
much pleased with his security, yet
over persuaded by his wife, let the
poor widows have it, who MOI know

sncrtion, the teitimony of fome of
the gyeatea men Tor greatef jacobins
at leaf in this town, or perhaps any
other town, may be produced to tub.
ftantiate the fsSt.
Impelled by motives of pure benev-
olsnce towards the jacobins, we have
thus early taken pains to give them
our opinion upon the courie they
ought to purdue. 1t will readily be
feen, that we have only pointed out
few of the great lies, which it will
be necedary for them to circulate.
BeGdes thele there are thoufands Of
Eth ores, which it is unneceflary to
enumerate, becaufc any jacobin can
make enough of them in quarter OF
an hsur 10 anfwer the purpofes of
the whole ps4f for a twelve month.
We cannot conclude without requei-
ting them to take the fubjeet into
ferrous confederation, and rene6 how
important it is that they ihouid en-
deavour by any means, foul or fair,
to fecure majority in the Houie OF
Representatives. Ii mutt indeed
have been very grievous tax upon
them TO have paid from their prioate
bwjcr for all the extra ne-ulpapers,
hmabM5 and printed letters, which
they have fen. to every quarter of the
State, during the lat year, and it
would entirely relieve them of this
inconvenient burden, if they could
procure anothe a.m7cyatic 7reainrer,
fuch as IbmtEn 7. Skinner, to rob
the people OF another $4,000 dollars
to pay for the printing of thefe cleo
pioneering pamphlets. But if after
all, their lies and INTERPRETATIONS
ihould be Of no avail, and the people
confulting their own beit intereits,
ihould elect a large majority of Rep
reicntatiyes of the true federal. Wafh-
ington principles, the democrats will
have the fatisfaction of rejecting
that fbey haze dane their duty that
they have told falshoods enough to
acquit themfeyes before the tribunal
of their cmfciences, and that no one
can accufe them Of having been back
