AT the above date the King was alive,

The war tone which was excited in
England on the news of the affair of the

The federalists are charged with be-
ing enemies to the constitution, aad OPP
posing government, because they dis
approve Of the administration. This
IS an unfair conclusion, and sEews ig-
norance, or want of candor in those who
make it. There is an essential differ
encc between an opposition TO govern
ment, and merely oontending with
those who administer it. If the Ru-
lers are in fact breaking the political
compact, and pursuing measures hos
tile to the national interests, love of
country, and regard for its Institutions
and welfare, will induce the Patriot to
fo;sake such unfaithful administrators,
and cleuye to the constitution and laws.
10 oppose wicked and corrupt officer
is sacred duty of every virtuons citi-
zen. When the Palladium of our Ii.
berries and independence, the constitu-
ton, is wantonly assailed, and its pre-
cepts violated, those who openly APP
prove OF the traEsgression, or conniyc
al 1t IN silence, are partakers Of the
crime, and deserve severe apprehension.
1t is leading principle in our polili.
cal system, that no official character is
too exalted to be called to account for
his behavior, or too dignihed to be pun
ished for malpracGces. In our rcvo-
Iu,ionary war, an officer Of an inferior
grade, who commanded an advanced
guard near the lines, and to whom Ma
jor Andre was FIRST brought after he
was taken, with the evidence Of Arnold's
treason about him, was pointedly repro
we'd by General Washington for not
arresting that trailer, though at the
time he was Commander in Chief of
West Point and its dependencies.
The words of the General to the Off
Ger On that occasion are remarkable !:
can forgive your neglect Of duty in
NOT securing that cultrit for faunishmenf,
6us shall never Jorget IT," lfAmold,
with a supreme command, ought to
have been arrested by an under officer,
could it be said with justice, that such
officer, ii he had so done, had been
false to his country, and had betrayed
his trust /? Yes, verify, with as much
ploprlety as those are now said TO be its
enemies, who are alarmed at the adop-
tlon OF measures equally fatal in their
tendency as the traitorous projects of
Arnold. Let those whose criminal
conduct will Dot bear an examination
fear scrutiny. Let those who will
rise or fall with the men now al helm
reprobate him who dares speak the
truth, in these times of corruption, and
faithfully points out to his countrymen
the dangers TO which they ale exposed.
The upright Ruler, and honest States
man have nothing 10 fear from the clo-
sest investigation. Il is only Jefferson,
Madison, and their adheients that trem.

1t must appear to every man of re-

country are in very critical situation,
and that it has been brought on by the
errors OF a chief magistrate, who, while
he suffers himself to act under the
1rammeis of party, is unfit to direct
the destinies of the nation. The peo-
pie Of the Washington school think the
real interests of our country would be
best promoted by settlement of differ

in power is for adhering to France, not
outstanding her violation OF treaty, and
the outrageous plumbers and cruelties
