ApcuS

Alta very great expence, the proprietor, has
lately procured entire new fonts Of TYPE for this
paper, and cncreasedthc size of it considerably.
It is believed that it now contains a quantity Of
matter nearly equal TO any paper printed in A
r,crioa. The price the same in the year
I793, whent commenced1 is 90 per cent lower
than the other papers of this city. Notwith-
standing this, however, and the encreased price
oftypcs, paper, &c. which cannot be obtained
but for cash, the subscription viii not be raised
to tKrctuai subscribers. But in justice to him.
self the printer gives this early notice to his pa
irons, that from and after the first day of the
year 1872, the paper will be charged at the
rate of FIVE DO LIARS per annum to all those
who do not pay their subscriptions in the course
OF the current year.-The opportunities by pri-
vate conyeyances continually occurring thro'
out the year from every part of the State to
Richmond particularly BY the Members of the
Legislature and the Sherihs and the facility
afforded by the mails which pass through every
neighbourhood AT least once 4 fortnight, will
leave those disposed to make remttances, no
excuse fornot doing so.--No subscription viii
hereafter be taken for less than six months,
nor will the paper be discontinued till all ar
rearages paid up.

Virginia, the parent and thc nurse of de-
mocraey, would act the same part again,
if the claims of her own son. Madison,
should happen to be warmly contested at
the next election, by another .N'e1c Yorker;
or indeed by any man out of the .dncient
Dominion, however good democrat he
might be.
5. A few years since, congress. our ex-
ecutive, and considerable part of the
country, were terror struck by daring
conspirator; insomuch that writ OF ia-
beas corpus was arbitrarily suspended and
officers Of the army and other agents OF
the president, arrested men, tore them
from their families, threw them into PR.
sons, Or transported them several hundred
miles for trial, in defiance Of law anu TO
the utter prostration Of the rights OF Tree
citizens. That daring CONSTIPATION had
not a single drop of federal blood In his
veins. He had been one OF the iirst, Of
the most active and efficient men in the
whole nation, in rearing the temple OF de-
mocracy. The name Of Aaron Burr de-
serves to be Inscribed in capitals on the
front Of that temple.
Now look on the other side. What in
surrection, what conspiracy, has ever been
made by fedel'alists3 None. They are
not the men for such work. They have
complained under political intolerance and
persecution.'' They have boldly remon-
strated. What Mr.. Giles, Mr.. Troup,
and other leading democrats. have done
lately. they (the federalists) did long ago.
From (irso to last, they have considered
many of the measuresof our administra-
ton as partial, weak, contemplate. and
ruinous to our country. But in no in
stance have they risen UP in armed oppo
silion to law.
