FELLOW.CITIZENS,

/ The above. named respectable gen

RACES as electors OF President and Vice.
President of the United Statcs--you
are required if you love Peace, Libwty
and independence, to come forward to
the Polls, aud vote Tor these gentlemcD,
who. if elected, will vote for
JAMES MADISON,
as President, and
ELBRIDGE GERRY,
as Vice President Of the United States
Men, whose Patriotism, Integrity and
Honesty have been proved, and whose
character, the blackest shafts OF ealumny
have never assaiIed.
Let no Republican Citizen alb
sent himself from town-meeting under
the miserable pretext, that it will be t,se-
less to oppose, what is falsely called the
majority-let every man take his stard,
act independently and .fi-eely, and the fed
eral faction will shrink abashed from the
contest. The power, we assert, is in
the hands OF the Wing Republicans Of
Rhode Island; if they will but come
forward and exercise it, the triumph Of
Patriotism and The cause OF our country,
will be certain. ~
Let every man DO his duty!
