SEHSONXBLE INNS TO H.
COEINS.

AS II is now aicerfaine that IN
fphe of all the lies, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
oalumnies aud abufe of the iacobins,
the Hon. CHRISTOPHER Conc will
be our Governor, and the Hon DA-
vID Conn our Lieutenant Governor,
and that there is llkewifc federal
majority elected for the Senate, it
feems the only rstource which the
jacobins now have, ID to endeavour
to procure majority in the rioufe
Of Representatives.. To aiIift then.
in the attainment of this dciired OBJ
Jet, we lhall give them little very
candid and djfntrs?ei advice, how
they ought to proceed together
with fome very uleful hints, which
when the fcalon of lying commences,
they will do well to remember Not
that we fappofe, thar after all their
cxerlions, they will be able to gain
majority for we are convinced of
the contrary. But as i, is indifpenfa-
bly, necefary, if they with to preferve
in MaHachufetts even the ihadow OF
their faction, that they ihould tell as
many lies and make as many falfc re-
prcfentations as poi1ible and as i;
mutt colt them fomc time and trou-
bic to manufacture a fufficient num-
Der of thefe ingenious iietions for the
occaion, we fhall here gratuitouny
prefent them with few, piping hot
from the jacobinic crucible, of which,
If they are not more ftupid than we
think they are, they will avail them
felves of Immediately, and circulate
them through every fiction of the
State.
And frfly, we would advile them
rs foon as may be, to get on: hand
bill, addrcfied to the Quakers, Inform
ing them that the late predictions
refpeeting the fix dollar rax" have
been fulfilled, and that iince Mr..
Gore has been elected Governor,
he. aaiited by federal Senate, has
actually pait law, that the Quakers
Gall pay tax of fix dollars, or be
obliged to bear arms 1t Is true, this
lie will not on examination, appear
quite 70 fpecious as fome others they
might tell, as every one knows there
can be no law enacted unieis it re-
ceives the fanaion Of both Branches
of the L.egiflature. But this objec-
ton may be efedually done away,
by roundly aiIer,ing, that fincc the
federaliits have gained majority,
they have difregarded the Conltru-
ton altogether, and sroisly violated
thar efential part Of it which makes
the fan6tion Of each Houfe prere-
quite 10 every law.--lf after all,
the lie will not go down according
TO their withes, they can at any time
procure copies of the Bottom Chron
iclc, aud Parton Bentley's RICHTER,
and give them as evidence of the
fact.
AS a farther flimulus to exertion,
we would advife them BY all means
to irighten their readers as much as
po.Iible with bugbears about the hav-
oc and devaGation Of 1var, totell then
that the federaliits are in favour OF
war.mralures, and that their fouls
delipht is bloodnled and carnage.
perbaas il would not be amifs to tell
then, that Mr.. Gore ba5 already de-
eiareR qvar and bat railsd an army Of
Gfg fb2ntuld men far The pnrPeE Of
earring If on. Such lie, TO be fure
would look rather too barefaced for
circulation bat what matters that,
ifrhey can procure votes by it
Another thing, which we would
have them impress upon the minds
of their readers is, that the federaliits
with for a Operation Of The States, ard
4sG5'ation Of the Union. This is the
more necenAry a, this time, as there
are many well meaning men OF the
democratic party, who begin to diff,
cover tia, it is altogether lie; and
they ought therefore to proceed with
renewed yigor, and fwear by the bon
or Of jacobinifn that the tederaliits
.ofNew.England not only contemplate
iye rare aflualy commenced a reFr!h9r
