FELLOW-CITIZENS,
We conJurc you TO perusc the above
extracts, taken from Henry's disclosure,
and ask yourselves these important questions
lis there British party in ,his ooun;ry ?
Who compose that party Wha, is the OBJ
ject of tha, party We need no, give the re-
ply. Your own good sense will suggest the
only replies that can be given to them. Pain
fu! indeed is our situation To expose them 10
the world, as it exhibits to all Europe as well
as 10 America, that our country is filled with
traitors, and tina, Tor the love of money and Of
power, oar liberties and our happiness is set
up q, publcA aucuon---the bidders at which
are the crowned ru.iians OF Europe.
AMERICANS,
Is there SINGLE liberty that man can
enjoy that you do not possess What then
VII, you gain by the Change ?--Nothing but
serviludc and opprcsson--Wh then will
you permit the leading iederalisls to inlatuatc
your minds with ariui delusions and betray
yon into seryi,ude, arming yourselves against
each other. Civil War is the inevitable con-
/, scquence--you will then behold your fields
raraged--your houses wrapped In hames---
your children slanghtered---your wives and
your daughters ravished--your iarest institu-
ton overturned, robbery and rillagc every
where enforced aud prac,iced, yourselves IN
serviiude and in slavery to that very British
sodery you once drove from your country
win disgrace. Turn then in time from those
evils that at this moment surround you, dis
| pise and detest those wretches who cooper
ate with Britain TO divide you as people, and
who exert themselves TO annihilatc you as
nation. Canyon forget those famous or rath-
| er infamous resolutions passed by lhc federal
assembly at EasI-GreenwiCh, cooperating
with the Massachusetts and Connecticut Leg
islativc resolutions in their opposition 10 the
General Government Are you prepared and
are you willing 10 trust your lives, your liber-
ties, your properties and your happiness 10
men, VINO more than once have prescribed
all that is dear and valuable To freemeu. Yes,
| fellow citizens, WiLiam Jones, Simeon Mar
| Tin, Nicholas Brozyn, James Rhodes, the four
| first persons composing The federal p.oX, arc
men who warmly supported and voted for those
| nelarous resolutions, tina, indirectly pledged
| the State 10 aid s support the States OF Mas.
| sachusetts and Connecticut TO resist the Laws
| of the General Government, (and for ought
| we know TO invite in British so!dlery) and
| 10 :" Gdoht a h!Gn for the mainienaaee Ct the

| Jones, your rresen, Governors has been charg-

| the reason is obvious, FENNEE is RcpuDIi-

| leading iedeialists were concerned in Craig's

lean patriots as any men in the Union, and
VINO would risk all, to save their county
and when that Gay shall come, they will c.

| are not divided people although We have
| many Arnods, yet we have millions of Paul

| alis;s asserts, that Government paid Henry
| $4,000 to discover Craig's plot. This VIC be-
icve is false. Ii is more probable, that the fed
era!lsts gave him double that amount TO con-
ceal their own names. But Henry has iden,i-
fled or named no iederalis;. No, the msgnan-
~inlity OF Madison blushed For his country's de-
pravity < would willingly conceal the names Of
the traitors--he wished not TO know them lest
it might cover this happy land in mourning
beside, what good could result by such an
exposare--no man can be convicted Of trea-
son by the testimony of one wiiness.--JcfFry
