The Democrats invariably impute
the disasters which their own folly has
occasioned, to the opposition Of the
rederalists. The National Advocate
ascribes the unforeseen difficulties
which have occurred in eifecting the
conquest OF Canada, to the refusal of the
Governors of Massachu sets and Con.
nec,icut to drag the militia from their
homes, to assist in that patriotic
scheme. Tho Editor of the Chronicle
gravely tells us, that famine in the Dis.
lrict of Maine, is entirely attributable
to the obstinacy of our own Legislature,
who would no, borrow money, to build
TWO slyops ofwar, to lend Mr.. Madison,
to p'oteot the coasting trade-and a
wiseacre who scribbles in the Patriot,
assigns as a sufficient cause for The dc.
