NEWPORT:
WEDNESDAY. March IS. 1912

Our Republican readers, during the cleo
tioneering frenzy, must expect to have their
ears assalled by every species of fraud and
imposition that depraved federal hear, and
mind can invent. The federalists will repre-
sent in brilliant colours, the Bsitish admins
tration, as angels of unsuliied piety and b =
al humanity, and that nothing but the most
Impartial Justice animates their councils in
their negociatun with America. They will
declare tha, the SIX THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND Fifty SEVEN A
MEXICAN SEAMEN, impressed into their
service, is but an act of generous friendship,
preventing their starvation in America; or,
which is better, keep them on, of the State
Prisons. That cid crazy George the Sd is
an angel OF mercy, preserved by special
miracle from Heaven, to restrain the Tiger OF
the continent from universal dominion. That
the whole ocean is enveloped 10 an impene-
trablc cloud of smoak, owing 10 the confla-
grafton of American vessels by the French.
Every American falling into the hands OF
French armed ship, is roasted, if not literally
caten alive by the crew. That ,he Indians
on the Wabash were stimulated by Bonaparte
to murder American citizens, and that his
minions actually aided them in their attack
made upon Governor Harrison, IS their mus
kets were French fabric, and taeir powder
horns we'll filed with the very best double
battle French powder. That the president is
one Of the Legion of Honour of France, and
that all the officers Ut the Executive depart
mens are under the pay of the French En-
perour; and that soon one Of his "fious"
brothers is TO be made our monarch. These,
and ten thousand more bare-faced ia!sehoods
will be propagated by them. and sworn to if
necessary. Republicans remember the Ocean
nnaSsacre--the two millions Of dollars sent TO
Franec as tribute, sc. which, with many
more idle, groundiess iabricatons, have been
played off upon your creduii,y, with no other
purpose but TO insult and deceive you They
calculate upon your humanity and your patri-
o,ism, and by deceptive fraud, they mean TO
abuse your confidence, destroy your happi-
ness, your liberty, and every thing dear 70
frcemen. These miserable caitiifs in British
pay, must earn by their crimes, at the ex-
pense of the safety of the couRtry, their
promised reward. Guard then your ears from
their pollution, and despise and dctest the
wretches who seek your ruin and your de-
struction.

" A disclosure Of very extraordinary and
important nature relative to the views Of e..
Britain towards this country has been made
10 the President, through the Secretary Of

and an agent Of the said Gov. Craig,) of the
hostility of Great Britain 20 the LIBERTY,

authorized and appointed Mr.. Henry an agent

anticipate the most salutary effects from this
reunion of brethren Of the same political
family, by means Of which :bc whole force of
the Republican strength will be brought into
action-which must be fatal to the common
enemy. Indeed the fedcraIists in this quar-
ter say, that if the union Is permanent, their
case is desperate. Great pains will be taken
and much arti6ce used, TO weaken the conf
dencc in each other Of the individual charac-
ters composing the nomination. No caution
is necessary from me, TO satisfy your mind
against insinuations of this nature. Let us
convince our opponents, that discords among
brethren of one principle are written in dust,
and may be easily wiped ont, when the best
Interests of our beloved country are assailed
