REMARKS.
In compliance with the request Of the
town Of Paris, we give publicity to the
foregoing. We are glad TO witness one
instance in the proceedings ofdemocrats
and advocates ofthe war, in which they
have refrained from that bitterness and
mslignity, expressed towards Ihe. friends
Of feace, which has marked the transac.
tons Of other democratic meetings hol-
den since the commencement Of hostili
ties. AS to the operation Of the laws,
however oppressive, let them so into
rigid operation. Whenever the case
shall exist, specified by the constitution,
for calling out the militia, let it be done,
if the law demands it. Iaae the farmer
from bis field and the mechanic from
his workshop, and march them to Can
ada or Nova Scotia-for Mr.. Madison,
with his southern phalanX, aided by
Varnnm, WIdgery and Carr, have de-
creed j.. If the double duties are re-
doubled, pay them. If land tax aud
stamp tax is imposed Till it takes The last
dollar from our pockets and the last COW
from the farmer, obey, sooner than re-
sort to the means of Baltimore mob.
But we trust that no threats, no resolves,
will deter the citizens of New England
from the use Of all constitutional and
lawful means TO obtain relief from the
distresses they are now severely suffer
ing under by reason Of the present war.
Ii the rulers Of the United States were
governed by the Inaxims Of Washington
as contained in his farewell address, and
the policy which characterized lis adj
ministralion, no one would sooner rank
himself On The side Of administration,
than the Editor of this paper. Ii this
were the case, instead of Witnessing TIE
present state Of things: such as ruin
ed commerce, an embarrassed agriCul
ture, universal distress and destruct
i've war, we should enjoy peace, lucra-
tive trade and good market for our
produce. This would be state of
things to which opposition would not
only be folly, but justly stigmatized as
a political crime.
Strange as it may seem, il IS no less
strange than true, that many OF the very
men who now advocate tie doctrine Of
hassiUe aoq,ae5cence in every measure
OF the administration, are those who
constantly and violently opposed the pol
icy Of Neutrality-suspicious. whom he
SO leelingly expressed himself IN his
address Jefferson and Madison COM
menced this opposition, and il has been
continued by them and their paEtizans
to this day.
BY Vashington's Proclamation Of
Neutrality the Country escaped Bri-
ush War and avoided an alliance with
the Revolutionary cut-throals OF France.
Yet so strong was the opposition 70
Washington policy, thar men, now in
the administration, appeared in open
rebellion 10 the whiskey insurrcctiOn
The prevalence Of party spirit is an
evil sincerely lanented by every good
man. But who first Commenced il !?
