THE BRITISH FACTION IT ISSUE !

We detest all Political societies." say ma
ny of the Federalists of this town, nor shall
I've sanction any such. Say yoa SO, gentle
men, and will ye not Join your seniors" in
the glorious work of efecting revolution in
our country, and in pulling down our Rcpub-
lican Constitution ?--But sviH any of the
small fry or the mechanicks, who ale depend
cnt on those seniors, for their support DARE
to act in opposition 20 the will Of their mas
ters ?---they dare aot.--rbcy are bought and
sold, as. .ynth price and instead Of eXercis-
ing that independence, which every mechan
ick ought to possess they will bascly barter "a
way their birth-right for the paltry plttance of
mess of pottage The federalists have been
called upon from some obscure quarter to
convene and form plan 40 perpetuate their
political principles, and will probably assume
the name of WAsHINeToN ! And will bcav-
en permit such base impiety Will not the
lightning of the Almighty blast the wretches
who can thus hypccrtlcaiIy invoke the great
Friend and Father of his country How will
the old tories and refugees who always have,
and do to this very day, hate the name of
Washington, appear in such Society yet
they MUST be admitted. How will those pam
pered wretches, appear, who have struggled
u
brick, which Washington was SO instrument
tai IN erecting yet they WILL appear, and
be foremost in the ranks of this heterogene
Gus mass.
We certainly do not object to the princi-
pie of establishing any Society," either NOR
al, religious, or political provided they are
not intended TO subvcvt the interests Of our
country, or annihilate our present invaluable
constitution. But when any set OF men, no
matter of what sect, shall adopt measures,
which have tendency to reduce Us under
monarchy {for such wc believe is the object
of the leading fedcralis,s, and ,ories) we
doubt not the plan will be spurned by every
honest American, whether Republican, or fed
eral. Nay, more--if it is the object of such
Societies, to meet and secretly foment insur-
rccton, the strong arm OF government, at
the bayonets point, must annihiliate them,
and crush their feeble efforts.

Heaven, that the purity OF the Republican
principles may never become so Car yi,iatea,

an advocate. Satan may as well become the

RHODE-ISLd.VD ELECTION.

The information we are able to obtain rel
ative to the election of his Excellency WILL
LIAM JONES is, that his Excelleucy was
chosen by illegal votes. Paupers on the
town, and by the town supported, were quail
fed TO vote. Men were made voters, who
could no, tell in what part of the Statenheir
land lay. Estates, by federal valuators, were
valued three times their amount and in A
ristocratick Providence, every villain that
could be bribed to receive life lease, were
obtained, qualified and voted His Excellen-
cy received mark of homage never before
conferred upon governor OF this State. He
received the vote of a negro IA vote unau-
thorized by the laws of this State. We are
taking measures TO collect some facts relative
to this extraordinary election an elt C ion any
man would blush to accept, except federal
ist. The town of Providence made one hun-
dred and thirty illegal voters, aud similar
proportion of voters were made throughout
the state. Notwithstanding these corrnp-
tions, and the distribution Of thousands OF dol
lars of his maesty's secret service money.
his majesty's supporters and friends obtained
the meagre majority of one hundred and sep
enty tzvo votes only and even this LEAN ma
iority was not obtained, ii is feared, without
fraud, threats, and corruption.
The fcderaIists in the choice of their off,
GERS, have affected great moderation, and left
a few, very few, lukc-warm Republicans in
Office. This condescension on their part, a.
rises not from principle ofjustce, bu, from
policy, and by hssitlve agreement made qvifh
the Hon. and 10. 1 he
sysmaticks Of the Republican party, to whose
vindctive malice we owe, IN some degree,
the federal triumph We envy them no, The
honour they have gained by seeding from
Republicanism. Time will bring forth al
things and time may develope some plots
and agreements that are now, apparently COW
cred with the veil Of secrecy.
A torrent of abuse has been poured upon
the Republicans for more than year past,
for electing improper men to Office I; but
what will the federaiists now say to some of
their iuGIcious selections Hereafter we shall
point them out by name, with their relative
demerits Till then let it rest it will not
lose much by few weeks repose.

STATE of Ireland.

In the Nsw- York Shamrock Of the 9th ult.
are number of extracts from Irish papers,
which throw consid cradle light on the inter-
nal state of that country. In several counties
there exist organized bands known by the
name of Shanevests, Caravasts and Jack
Carders they keep the government party
in continual alarm the Magistrates, when
unassis.ed by the military arm, are unable,
perhaps afraid to attack or resist them. Their
ostensible object is to acquire arms, which
the forci5ly take wherever found, even to a
rusty bayonet There exists doubt as to
the use they would make of these arms, if a
sufficient quantity were obtained they would
most certainly be converted into weah0ns 81
vengeance.-The execrable .Norbury, the ju-
djcial assassin of the immortal Emmett, has
been sent to preside at the special commits
sions for the trial of such of those persons
as have been apprchended

RETALIATION.

The. British prints on both sides OF the
Atlantick, have long insisted that the Orders
an Council were continued in retaliation of the
French DEGREES. Let us look at this asser-
uon with precision, connected with the pre-
sent STATE Of the question, and ascertain how
true or how false it is.
To rrtafafe is to return, by giving like for
ike. France, at this time, does not inter-
rupt American vessels going to the port of
Great Britain but Great Britain does inter
rupt American vessels going to the ports Of
France. This, then, is not returning ike for
like and. of course, is not justified by the
doctrine of retaliation. The proof Of the fact
with respect both to the British and the
French is within the knowledge of every bo-
dy for vessels arrive daily from Great Brit
ain without being moles,ed by French priva-
teers, whilst vessels bound TO France are cap
tured by British cruisers and carried into En-
glish ports for trial under the Orders in
Council.
But there has always been an absnrdity in
this doctrine Of retaliation as set up by Great
Britain. Retaliation, we have seen, means 10
return like for like. Yet the ike must be re-
turned to him who GAVE he like, and not to
him who did not give It. For example if
man gives me blow, and III consequence OF
that blow strike third person who did not
strike me, it is no retaliation. Thus it is
with Great Britain. France aimed a blow at
her commerce when, instead of returning
the blow on France, Great Britain strikes at
the United States |! This mode OF revenge is
similar to that Of a cowardly husband, who,
not being able to chastise his enemy out of
DOORS goes home and beats his innocent wife
