Thirty more, of the same size, were cast but not

TIMOTHY PICKERING.


TIMOTHY PICKERING.
I" He was not born TO fatter or betray
Whit open arms can do
Behold him prompt to act but ne'er to
Will he descend
THIS worthy patriot and enlightcn-
ed statesman has commenced series
ofletters, addressed to ehc undcrstan-
dings, candor, and patriotism Of his fcl-
Tow citizens upon subjects intimately
connected with their most essential
political intercsts-From the integrity,
ability, and information of the man, 1t
is confidently anticipated that much
good will be produced by his writings.
True il is that the malevolent asper-
sions, the unparalleled ingratitude, of
designing and GRITTY democrats have
constantly been i'll operation to render
this most pure and disintercsted friend
ofhis country obnoxious, to his fellow
oiti1ens-And it is great source of
satisfaction TO his friends that " envy,
that green eyed monster, which makes
the meat it feeds on" should have been
able by the aid of SANDER and falsehood
no farther 10 accomplish its object, than
simply 70 destroy that " sOmethiHg,"
" nothing" popularity, among ignorant
& wicked men. What he holds incom-
parably dearer than the applause ofig.
norsnce and party spirit still remains
to him ; the honor Of his character is
inyiolate, ana the virtues of his heart
cannot be conquered by his enemies.
Though 1t be for the interest of parti-
zans 70 efface from their memory the
actions of his life, the memory of the
patriotic and good will be more reten-
uve--will imblbe his doctrines and
practice upon his precepts. He is a
rock of integrity against which the
waves OF democracy dash in vain ; a
mountain Of patriotism that cannot be
conyulsed by the storms Of party.
Already do demagogueS and wicked
hit" oCSiii W sTOan under the severity
OF his lash begin 10 evade the force of
his reasonings, by undetermined at
temps, 10 convert them into ridicule.-
1 ne whole fhGIGnr Of democratic edi-
tors are IN uproar from ssgsciou. Do
ND down to the Gst!e gentleman, tina,
conducts the /. Argus But these
things, will not be able to divert him
from pursuing a course of conduct,
which has for its object the salvation Of
his country from impending destruc-
ton. Nor will they be able to prevent
The eyesot the honest, & deluded part of
the American people, from being open
ed TO sense of their danger-Truths
Will be told, which will awaken and con-
vince the honest; confound and put TO
shame the political deceivers, who
have too long led the great mass of
the American people captive. The
philosopher of Carter's Mountain will
blush, If (" shame has not (as respects
htm) lost her blush," and the little ten
anf oftlfe Palace at Washington will
start and trelnble when they behold
the picture OF themselves in the accu.
rate mirror, which Col. Pickering will
present TO their vision.
