From the Near- Hampshire GaSette, Of

"In the present state OF affairs, if in any,
we might expect the feds. to come forward
in support of our own government. But
the hope is fallacious-So firmly are they
attached to our most implacable and ancient
enemy, that in whatever manner we may
have to contend against her, in the same
manner must we be obliged to deal with
the leaders of that party-y .Oe are obliged
TO drauu the sucord, after all our sacrifices
to preserve peace, on those domestic traitors
mast its. frsfdnd most exemplary vengeance
fail. However abhorrent to humanity, to
cleanse frstthe inside Of fhe cup Wilt be
regular dictate OF sound policy"
The federal republican party, embracing
nearly all the talents, greatly more than its
proportionabie share ofwealth, responsibility,
native bravery, and patriotism, for the last
twelve years, has been excluded from all par
ticipation in the direction of our national af-
fairs This vast body offrm, enlightened and
patriotic citizens, actuated by the most pure,
disinterested and noble views, present to the
world the astonishing and glorious spectacle
of a party, constant and nndsmayed amidst
the most discouragng difficulties, VINO are re-
solved to save their country at every risk and
sacrifice. To their zeal, courage, and love
OF country, it is owing, that we have not sunk
into the condition of an abject dependency of
g the great Napoleon In the plain home
spun language of freemen, they have bluntly
told the dominant faction they will not sell
tI,,n 18th, II fro.t
look on and see the nation surrendered by
tools, pensioners and emissaries, into the
hands of an upstart adventurer-that they
will not, scithout a struggle, permit chains
to be rivetted upon themselves, and slavery
entailed upon their issue. The jacobins are
given distinctly to understand, that federalsts
will put at hazard all that is dear, before
they will permit their country to be given up
to the deadly embrace of France For this,
for their virtue and glorious self-deyotedness,
they are hated by the friends of France, they
are prosecuted by the democrats with a spirit
of malignity and hellish revenge, of the same
quality and origin as that of the revolutionary
jacobins Of France 1t is not to be denied,
that the democrats indulge feelings towards
federalists betrayihg more rancour and furious
resentment than is to be found against them
even among the French 1t is because they
are banked in their sinister contriyances,
their reasonable schemes are thwarted, and
they find themselves unable to afford that O.
pen and efficient aid to their idol, that they
are occasionally driven to desperation by dis
appointment, and threaten to dip their hands
into the blood of their own countrymen, who
frustrated their Vaccinations
But who and what is this mighty party,
that threatens to +" drazo the szoord' and
cause their first and most exemplary pen
geanee to fall upon Jederalistss To be thus
denounced and threatened with vengeance by
a pack of French hirelings, renegadoes and
pigeon-livered recreants, is more than human
patience can endure. The people, the real yeo-
many of the nation, whom infatuation at |
taches to this jacobin clan, form no part OF
the band of rufians and conspirators, who
talk of the sword, blood and vengeance. They
are the leaders of the deluded people, who
seek civil war, that the great Napoleon,
whose ends cannot otherwise be attained, may
step in and decide the contest. And who are I
these leaders that would thus intimidate fede-
ralists, whose glory it may yet be to have saw
ed the nation? A combination of despicable /

insultsd, robbed and abused by every petty /
