CONSISTENCY.
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1812-05-21
From the Trenton Federulist.
REASONS

Vhy those zoho haze suj1ftorted the Democratic
Leaders should suilaort them no longer.
When the democratic Leaders invited the
people TO turn the Federalists out of office, 5,
put themselves Id, they urged that the Fede.
r.llsts were men more disposed than them
ewes to arbitrary government, to the levying
i 7ares, to Har, to tie raising Of standing ar
Mrs, and to the payment OF high salaries and
.vageS to public men. They insisted that the
afialrs of the nation could be well conducted
for much smaller sum than the Federalists
expended, that there was no need of armies,
nor ofany internal. or direct taxes. That if a
proper and wise policy Was observed, foreig
nations would, or could be made to respect us,
and let US alone, These determinations and i'm
pr0yements they promised to make. The
people, or a majority OF them, took the demo.
cratic leaders ut their word, turned out the old
Washington politicians, and put the new men,
the retormers, into power. 1t was something
strange, to be sure, to look for hlain, econon,i-
cat, moderate men, from the southern states,
where they are so generally bred up in extra
VACANT habits, high notions, horse-racing,
cock-6ghtng, card-playing and the like-but
they Promised so tar, that really, many believ-
ed them III right good earnest, and so indeed,
or aN lille, they acted, after they got into pow
en- But what no7v is the state of things!
If was e1mavagance in the Federalists to
take six dollars day for Congress wages, can
it be enonomy in the democratic leaders to
take the same sum, and HIGH they already be-
gin to talk about raising
fit was ertruUagance IN the Federallets to
allow the public officers from 3 to 5000 dollars
year, can it be economy in the democrats to
allow the highest sums to some OF these Off
GERS, and in several instances to have raised
them higher than they were before!
Fit '4as wrong in Federalists to levy direct
tax of tsys millions, can it be right in the de-
niocrats to levy one of three millions
fit was wrong in the Federalists to levy
single duty Oh imported articles, can it be right
for democrats to levy eonblc duties on all such
articles.
What man, therefore, who disIiked--who
opposed the Federalists for the aforesaid rea-
sons and causes, can now uphold the demo-
Gratis, who are doing the same things over a.
gain, and great deal worse! Certainly no
one who acts from principle. To be sure if a
man will give up his own judgment, and de-
termine to stuck to a set of men, because he

We know that Doctor Logan has lately been
employed and probably is yet, in getting sub
scribers in the County of Philadelphia to a
petition to Congress against war: and when
our informant, who has handed us a copy OF
this petition, was in Philadelpha, the Doctor
had presented tito two hundred and fifty house
keepers (and he takes none others) without
any regard to party; and out OF this number
there were two or three dissenters only!
When it is considered that Doctor Logan
has been a decided friend of The last and pre-
sent administrations, and that where this peti-
lion circulated was the most democratic part
of the whole state, we are inclined to believe
the rumor in our paper Of yesterday is fact,
and that Mr.. Madison is beginning to think it
best to back cat as decently as possible.
