our country Is indebted for the defeat OF
Mr.. Gerry's exerGons, and the ratification
Of that constitution 70 which we owe all our
national prosperity, and which when honest
" administered, secured Our national honor,
and our private and individual happiness as
citizens.
This Constitution Mr. Gerry would have
had the people of Massachusetts relect--and
for what-Iudge fellow-citizens for your
selves call 10 mind facts which / do not
wish TO mention, and which are not yet be-
yond the memory Of thousands now living,
and YOU will be compelled to acquiesce in
the assertion that Mr.. Gerry is opposed to
the first principle of our national compact
Since the times have been speaking OF,
has Mr. Gerry's political opinions Undergone
any change When the constitution was rat
flied, did Mr.. Gerry, like many others, con-
vinced BY the superior intelligence, and po-
litical knowledge of the friends Of the Con-
stitution, acknowledge that his opinions were
founded on wrong principles, and pledge
himself to support the constitution ratihed
By majority Of the people have heard it
asserted that Mr.. Gerry did this, but know
the assertion to be untrue, or at least kne w
that Mr. Gerry continued still to be opposed
to the constitutions nay more, 1T IS well
known by Mr.. Gerry's private friends that
his deep rooted hostility to the constitution,
has not abated. But to prove that bis OPP
position to the constitution existed after rs
ratification, let the following statement OF
votes, for few towns, in 1888, from official
documents be considered.

Governor Strong voted for the adoption of
the Constitution, so did Governor Hancock,
Sumner, and Gore who are all members of
the convention Mr.. Gerry has been set up
as the opposite candidate against them all.
Who are his advocates, look around you fell
low-citizens, and enquire if the leaders Of
Mr.. Gerry's party, and his warmest support
ers are not to be found among those who
have uniformly been at enmity with the
constitution-are not the same iparty who
were then called anti-federalists, and have
since falsely assumed the name Of republi-
cans, many of whom. and particularly the
leaders, pretend a hypocFitical devotion TO
the constitution, while they secretly bear to-
wards it the most bitter enmity.

FREEDOM OF ELECTION.


That there is party in the United States
who have hitherto filled themieIves republi
cans, now endeavoring 20 change the confti-
tuition, there can be no doubt. Look at the
Baltimore paper, warm in favor of Mr. Mad.
lion, openly advocating The doctrine of Pre-
hdent for life" But before this can be effec-
ted, the State Governments mutt be annihila-
ted. To prepare the way for this event, thele
governments mutt become democratic. Hence
che reaion of our great men at Warrington
being 70 anxious to iecure the Elections which
have, and are about to take place in the nor
the-n States.
Hence We fee the reafon Of their circua-
ting their faiIehoods IN every part of the
country fuch as, " the Britifh government
have condemned the conduct of, and recalled
MIR. Jackiou, and that his fucceflor is appoint
ed This isory has been fabricated for the
fole purpoie of impohng on the public, in
hopes to fecure the elections of fuch men as
would throw the defines of this country in
TO the hands of Bonaparte, aud wage wanton
and ruinous war with England. Thi. change
N our free Contribution, can eahly be effected
IN time of war, and there is little doubt, but
thar this is the object of the leading democrats
in the Gouthern aates in wifhing for war They
alto know IT will be no difficult thing TO find
par.izans for this meaiure among the leading
democrats Of the north The Freemen OF
Maiiachule.ts owe il to ihemlelves their coun-
try and poiterify, TO fpurn at every attempt
in the officers Of the General Government to
influence tie election of their fate officers.
It they once fubmit unwarrantable interfe-
rencc. they will foon become the mere regif-
tiers Of the wiihes and mandates of the " back
hairs" gentry of Mr.. Madifon's ciolet.
The stIerticns in the letters publiihed III the
democratic papers, purporting TO contain in
formation from our MniGDr Pnckney, are to-
tally falie, and eontrsdi0ed 5y accounts and
LcttSs from England, of the fame aud later
date. The letters are circulated throughout this
State, foely with the view to obtain votes IN
favor of the democratic Candidates on Mon
day next. In confirmation of the above, We
fubjoin the following Letter

ne has been called upon 10, Act, expended
from the public treasury. The celebrated
account for seprs, wine and swea.mea.s,
will not be forgotten, when this question is
answered - ~
How stands the account of patronage ~
Gen. Washington, in his nominations to of.
nee, was governed by sacred regard to the
constitution in his nomination, and by me-
rls, talents, and a regard for the public good
in the character Of candidates. Hence it has
happened, that SO few instances occurred, in
which the public received any injury, from
the officers appointed under his administra.
ton. But, when Mr.. Jsfersom mounted
the Republican throne, he commenced the
base work Of removing public officers, on
the score of poi teal principles and he
followed it with unreIrntlng vengeanee.-
Ills maxim was, that tn ths officer uvas the
agent o the President, instead OF being the
agent OF the natloc, and regardless of cha
-racter, he soon introduced his agents by
wholesale into the places Of wiser and bet
ter men. What has been the result The
public treasury has been plundrred of hum
dreds Of thousands ef dollars, which have
been squandered by, or gone to enrich his
agents. The cases of Edward Livingston,
Brown Of New Orleans, Clark of Massa.
chusrtls, ard many others may be named in
support of this remark.
Besides, the provisions of the constitution
on the subject of appointments to Office,
have been, by Mr.. Jsftrson completely
evaded, and the guard intcnded to be fixed
in the consent of the Senate, but a little
better than repealed. Scarcely an instance
among the multNtudes 1uh'ch haPpe1ed, ofa
removal from tile e6Fce By -Nr. JeHerscn,
occurred 1Vhilst the Senate zvus in session.
On these pants, zuha: hos the cauuiry
