Shocking Dspraoity- people of other
, states will be able to judge, when they read
the following, what the federalists In Mary
land have had to encounter, in subverting the
democracy, which has lorded it uncontrolled
for ten wears past Fifteen hundred dollars
from the pockets of the office holders at An

ministration of the state government, shall

Men who actually boast of their dishonorable
and disgraccful design of purchasing the yo-

the democrats, to retain their ascendency in
the state and to fatten on the public revenue.
Here is evidence that the wealth of Baltimore,
and the rerquisites of Office, prung from the
poor man, are liberai4y given to bribe away
the Independence OF the Poor.
