you reply to me Why not then believe
me ~hcn tell you, that TO defend our Ii
ber;y, and secure our commercial rights,
we must unite our councils, and our
strength.
How unfortunate for our country that
the only accusations Of any importance
brought against the men selected to rule,
should relate solely to foreign affairs
Could we hut accuse men q mean the re-
puhllcans) Of any crime relating to home ai-
i-rs, SO as to procure their dismissal from
Office, foreign nations might suppose that.
IN a contest with them, sc should Sc united
but now, our accusations against these
men, go to justify foreign nations, wha,e.
yer may have been their conduct to us.
g 1t is not among the circumstances least
favorable to the Republican Admlnistra-
ton, that to find the ground Of an accusa-
ton against them, their enemies must seek
amidst the contentious that VIC have with
foreign nations. Could they bu, bring some
charge against them that was more suscep-
tb!e, OF proof. or more immediately under
the inspection and notice of the people, how
much sooner they would be heard.

WAS it for mal.admiDistra,ion in relation
to foreign affairs that the federalists were
deprived Of power? No:-for had their not
been weigh,y charges against them on other
grounds, nothing could have prevented
them ruling until this hour.

see II during the administration Of that man
VINO was particularly stiletl federal President,
mean John Adams, you can discover so ma
ny good things, unmiXed with evil, that YOU
desire return OF them. Certain am that,
however some leading eleralists may attempt
to brave the public sentiment. none Of them
wish return to the state of things that then
eSlstesi.-No ;-ifthey were ouly candid, they
would all Join with their aged President, (now
more wise by eXperience) and reprobate the
measures that himself and them did then pur-
sue.
: Where then the crime of arres.ng men
IN career which some Of themselves have con-
tossed led on to ruin ? And if no crime in stop.
ping them. surely it is no crime to prevent
them again commencing the same untoward
journey.
would ask every DELAWARE FRpERA-
LIST, what they can promise themselves, or
their country by return to federal measures.
Nothing, surely, worth the change. And,
what are the mighty crimes OF tie republicans.
that they are SO uniting 10 administer our
government? Alas their crimes are, tina, The
European governments do us wrong
