OF an acquired RICH, Of depoGt at
New-Orirans, then oeuicd by France
(ior Spain was out of the quelfion
anil lately, with any body, and the
democrats are not willing to conf
der her any thing to this day, fuch
is their awe for, or their fubtervien-
cy to the palavering fans culottes)
the adminiltTation took it into their
heads to become fpecuIators in hu-
man beings and land jobbers, and a.
greed to pa the French fxteen mil
lions OF dollars for IouiGana France
being then debtor TO the United
STATES for about twice that FUN, plum
dered of the American commerce
p:evloufly to that time, fay thirty
million of dollars, executive of the
hxteeR million fhe received for the
Louiiianlans, and alto the French
and Ouch debts. Between that
;ims and the end of the embargo,
France hal plundered US of about
thirty million more /; and, as all this
did not caule the arming of a Jingle
figate, and as indeed, the admini(-
tra'ion were endeavouring to fcreen
the French, by calling this property
tritilh property, Bonaparte iaw no
neceAity 70 be fcruPulous any longer,
and boldly laid his hands on about
thirty million of dollars worth Of
property more at one grafp and
now the democrats are endeavouring
to periuade US, it's only borrowed,
TO be returned when we thail nave
engaged 10 carry on the war of the
continent againit its enemies the
Englifh, and this they would do, ma
ny of them, rather than reGit the
fraternity of nation enlavers and
men-defroyers.
Thefc plunderings added together
make jua ninty million Of dollars, to
fay nothing of the produce and chip
ping loft by the embargo. or Of our
failors imprifoned and fent home
beggars by the French and as the
war has lated but eighteen years Il
is juf fve mi4im of dollars each and
every year, the United States has
been made 70 contribute to ards
their own ruin and that of f rope,
and, itrange as il may fee to
aallt the democrats to keep in pow
er.
As the whole revenue of the u.
States did not, OH an annual aver
age, amount TO more than 10
millions, for every dollar the good
people of this country pay into their
own treaiury, they have paid for
eighteen years fuccelIlvely fifty cents,
into the treafury of france, and
this IS FIVE dollars a year each for
every farmer, mechanic and mer-
chant, capable of bearing arms in
the United otateS-a handiome poll

It lndccd during the lsh three or
four years, Bonaparte Gas bad more
Of our money than the administration,
the army and navy of our country,
with the intercit Of our public debt,
PAT together. Let them deny it who
can Yes, we have paid more tri-
butte towards the overthrow Of
France, of continental Europe, and
of ourtelves, than many OF the king
doms or republics, which have been
oycrrun by French folders, and rob-
BED of their lait eopper, as we'll as
their independence.
To this have we not uniformly
been MADE to fubmit by democracy
and is there the leatt probability
that. as long as this party prevails
in America, We fhaIl ceaic 10 be
tributary TO France
Let the people look 10 il 1t the G.
