THE POLITICS OF rxK DISTRICT.


Of the love Of country and patriotism
which actuate the majority OF the clIiAens
oil Loudoun, p lnce William and Fairfax
there can be no doubt: question G'a!y then
arise from whence flows their opposition
(as exhibited through the mereul'n Ut our
representation in the Matt nal Leglslatwc)
to the spirited and energetic conduct OF the
executive in resisting foreign aggression,
and their exertion to steer Gear o! the tenn
pests that have desola;ed the arrest Por-
tons of the civiliZ,d world. Although we
possess such Immediate opportunities OF
obtain ng correct information respecting
the motives and views which actuate the
administration, by our proximity to e
seat OF government, yet
Wherever God erects an house Of pray'r
The De0irs sure 70 6uiid a Pdiucr there:
And the agents of opposition have been
found interchangeable i'll sowing the weeds OF
prejudice anu disuniOn in soil naturally
calculated to bring forth union and energy
in support of the rights and honor OF our
much injured country.
AT the same time the republicans and
friends OF government have actedesith
supinen SIS unworthy of their cause while
their opponents nave, tn ouSh ev'ry posi-
bic medium, been CirCulaIlng tales ABOUT
French influence, ana even roundly assert
ed the executive had paid two millions
10 Bonaparte as a bride instead OF taking
proper steps 10 counterfeit such vile false
hoods, wr have Eeneraliv Oh the the eve OF
an election sriZtd OH some local pecadliIo
of our adversaries which fails TO make that
impression on the pubic mind that CAN
Gid and careful examination would lntall-
bly, produce. Let such conduct cease let
us adopt the means which have produced
the effect in other quarters let our ,oppo-
sis:on be systematic and persevering, and no
doubt, we shall be successful and the pre-
sent honorable incumbent Of our seat the
National Councils will descend to rank
wsarc sensible he merits, that Of private
gentleman.
REMARKS.
The freeholders of the district or Lou
dun, Prince William and Fairfax have,
TO bs sure, great cause to thank this eeur-
tsous editor for making their district the
dtvirs 4aIacs.--ThePataec at Washington
is, of course, the house Of God How he
IS worshipped there, the inhabitants OF it
..s, know. What may be the effect OF such
as th.ynake, the unfortunate peo.'
~. Of hi. county and district, will too soon
unharDly feel. He could not. however, in
the whole range Of thought, have produced
a better reason Tor the adherence OF the
dIisuie, to their long and tried attachment TO
III. polite, of the immortal Washington
