considerable honor. To shew what little re-
gard the Press entertains for Truth, we Sc.
lect one sentence. Speaking of Mr. Randolph
he says: " The man whose whole study is
to traduce and abuse his country, could NO
reasonably be expected to hold more re-
| spectful opinion of our navigating, than he
does ofourplanting s manufacturing citizens
This sentence, properly amended, would read
thus: g The man whose whole study is to ex'
pose the folly & wickedness of a ruling party
cannot be expected to entertain more re-
| spectful opinion of fortune-hunting gang Of
desperate foreigners, by whose Vaccinations
our country has been brought to the verge Of
ruin" Yes OUR country, we repeat; not
England, France or Ireland, but the good old
United States Of America. This is our coun-
try, and to no other can we ever feel an equal
attachment: Nor could all the brides and pa
tronage and honors in the power of any go
vernment on earth to bestow, ever eradicate
that love which We cherish for our nGtive
soil the example of a number of refugees to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
In making these remarks, we are not IN
dertaking defence of Messrs. Minor and
Randolph. 1t is totally unnecessary in the
present case and if it were, those gentlemen
are much more capable of their own justhca-
ton. But our object is to expose the unprin-
cipled manner In which foreign emigrants de-
nounce native Americans, merely for express
sing their opinions. We have already intreated
our readers to be prepared for internal discord
should war be decidred-a discora fomented
by factious foreigners. The symptoms of it
are manifest. In Philadelphia, they have al
ready begun to search for British spies cir
cumstance deserving only of contempt, were
II not that under this specious pretcxt the
name of a Federalist may become as danger
Gus to its possessor in this country, as that
of Royalist was in France during the dark and
bloody sway of the fcrocious Robespierre.

CHRONICLES OF JAMES THE SON OF THOMAS
/. And there rose from the dust, even from
The isle of Corsica, man who made himself
ruler over Gaul this man neither feared God
nor eschewed evib but drove furiously owe,
the necks of all nations yea, his driving was
like the driving of Jehu.
9. This mighty captain-of war wrote letters
to James, the governor of the Columbians, in
this wise, Greeting BE it known unto thee,
o James, nv spirit is troubled, even unto
death.
5. What is all my power to me, SO long as
| there is one in the gate, who hath power also,
and who boweth not down to the glory Of my
! majesty whose tall ships, like the cedars OF
Lebanon for multitude, draw up in array "a
gainst me, on my own borders
4. Now therefore, as know thou lowest and
fearest me, as did thy father Thomas, thou
must Join with me to destroy this people from
the face of the earth, that their name be nc
more known among nations.
$. Thou must neither receive at their hand
the goodly ornaments of tapestry & fine linen,
nor the motion devices of brass or copper, OF
| iron or steel neither must thou send them
| the fir tree, nor the oak, the fine -four, MOI
the corn, nor in any-wise must thou deal with
them, lest my wrath wax hot with thee, ant
though be scourged with the sword.
6. And the letters pleased James and his
privy councillors, for they loved the king o
