The democrats pray, that Bonaparte


The democrats pray, that Bonaparte
may have the same supremacy on the
seas that he has on the land when
that is the case, they add, we shall be
freed from the shackles which now en-
barrass our commercial specuiaiions.
PRAY, what Kind of freedom has Bona
parte yielded to the continental powers
OF Europe Ask Switzerland, Austria,
Prussia. Holland, Denmark, Sweden,

Great Britain. We have disputes
enough of our own to settle with that
nation, without taking sides with every
