The madness of these acobins sbews the
superior power of ambition TO orarice, even
in class OF persons who, as the Dutch n.er-
chant said, {" would scorch their sails by ,rad-

The people at large have little idea OF the
perfect degencracy Of The British jaeobins at
Boston. The following incident is SO COM
petely characteristic of IL tha, cannot refuse
10 insert it & respectable merchant Of Bal

he had leisure he would talk with them on

As observed on former occasion, there
is nothing in my nature thar has affinity moral
or social, with these jscobins, that lead the
people to ruin. consider them as sold to
ambition and The enemy irrcc lainlabIc, and
not worth the trouble If they could be reclaim

knaves, through the pride of political OPTION,
and mistaken idea OF sucking 10 their harty,
is honest : and no reasonable effort should be
left un,ricd 10 .undeceivo them and bring the IN
TO pause. This body is the Jederalsfs of

by all the various means OF faction, have gone
