thrown out or insinuatcd against the fed
eralis,s, and the Presidential candidate,
Mr.. Clinton, for whom he was an ad
vOCate. Some of the most ignorant
and unprincipled Of the democrats
threatened Mr.. Jarrett with Tar and
feathers, This reused him, and he said
every thing to those wretches that
man indignant At such baseness oughtto
have done, until one of the party said
he would assist in the tar and featherinr,
and IL ought to be done Upon which
Mr.. Jarrett struck him, and gave him
kick, which settled that bushes. for
some time Cthis happened in the house }
The defeated party went out 10 the
booths amongst the rabbIe His friends
rallied and cried out" democrat,
