ANOTHER PLOT!
Last Friday stranger OF good address
and personal appearance, and about 2s
years of age. arrived at tavern in Ha
verl.iii, and stoned for gefresi2neEt. At
ter oonversing wish SEINE OF the inhabi-
tants, and exciting their curiosity, and
knowing that the Henry pIct WAS design
ed as powerful electioneering engine
for the democratic party, to which th's
inposter belongs, ne pretended that be
was Just from Quebec, ami had IN his
possession evidence of NEST horrlti treason
committed by men esteemed the most up
right and distinguished in the nation-and
that he had actually seen the treasonabE'
correspondence with British officers. As
the election l0r town officers in Uaye.hii
was TO be heid on Monday next. the iaeo-
bin demagogues caught at the bait, cares
sed the yagrant, took him to an o!tice
bove the bridge, and after much imror-
tunity persuaded the Llan to copy and
si..n certificate which one Of these dis
tusbcps Of the peace had prepared. All
this was done with the secresy that usual

master in that town.
So great WAS the ierment and excite

famous affair that rejecting nlon thought
il excellent to investigate and s!tt this
mountain OF falsehood; accordingly the
man was pursued to Salem, where he ar
rived late at night, and called himself
TIMOTHY Joy, and at this place also
said he was just from Quebec. In the
morning. as soon as it was ascertained
that he was in town, warrant was Oh
tanned, and he was aPprehended and eAa-
mined before John Prince, Esq. He de-
MED none of the facts. admitted his Suils.
and was ordered by the magistrate TO re-
cognize in the sum of five hundred dollars
for his appearance at the Supreme Judi
e;al Court. AS he was unable to obtain
bail, he is now committed to prison for
trial for his crime. An immense con
course Of people attended the examina-
ton, and all were Disguised and alarmed
at the unfolding Of the shameless and a
banIoned arts and devices resorted to by
our demagogues to excite the feelings OF
the public at every election. to destroy by
base calumuy the fairest characters, and
