The jacobins have been making a
great bubbnb about their wonderful
fuccefs in the prcfent elections in
Vermont, but they will nni when
too late, that they have not only
been running their country, but cut
ting their own throats, and kindling
fire to roait themielves. Like a
pack of blind puppies they are play
ing on the very verge of precipice,
and fnap and fnarl, and make hor-
rible bowling if you point out their
danger or attempt to coax or drive
them into a fecure iituation. Com

to read some Of the violent papers of
our great towns, he would be led 20 sup
pose that we are the most licentious
and most prohigate people on the face
of the earth. That we are entirely
without government, and that peacca-
bic man can hardly live in safety in our
country. That the lives and property
of our citizens are continually exposed
to the depredations of an unprineipled
mob. which can in a moment be set in
motion by any scapc gsllows foreigner,
who may have the impudence to sethim-
self up as leader. This would Ger.
tainly be the conclusion which stranger
would draw from such papers as the
Wing, Aurora, Public Advertiser,
Chronicle of Boston, SC. sc. But lie
would be mistaken. There is not
more peaceable, and more happy peo-
pie on the face of the earth, than the
people Of America. The people as boz
dy, have nothing to do with the papers
above mentioned. And were the
stranger to travel through the country,
and enquire for the supporters Of those
papers, he would be surprised to find
that every man Of character and conse-
qucnce in the country despises them.
Even those who make use Of them to
answer their vile purposes are asha-
med of them and il is none but the
ignorant or infatuated that will acknowl-
edge their attachment to them. tits
indeed disgrace to the country that
such papers should be supported at all;
but it is some consolation to reflect that
no rative American Of knowledge and
understanding would wish to be known
as supporters Of such nuisances.
[Indtpendrnf Asn1isan. ]
The democratic editors, from one
end of the continent to the other, dis
cover the most extreme uneasiness at
every syllable of intelligence received
from Europe, that looks the least like
Bonaparte's being defeated. They di-
rcctly set to work to try and explain a.
way the thing, by telling the people
that is only British story, &c. How
is this to be accounted for unless we
suppose them so devoted to their master
Napoleon, that the very thought ofhis
being worsted carries with it something
of dismaying nature to them i---The
truth is, they are contending on the
same side with the mighty Corsican -
the material difference rests in their
respective situations, and Of course be-
gets different modes OF action. While
Bonaparte is contending in Germany
and Spain, with the bloody myrmidons
at his heels, for the total subversion Of
the liberties of Europe, his agents In
this country, (your Duanes, your r.
vines, your Everctts), are attempting
to sap the vital principles of our gov
ernment, in order TO pave the way for
the more easy and safe reception of his
Imperial Majesty, or some Of his faith |
ful generals, whom he, in the pleni- |
iuue OF his .ondcscension, shall please
to appoint Our king.-N. J. Zeiescete.
