FEDFRAL PATRIOr1snr

When the papers from our Comn,issoncrs
atGhcnt we're first published, 4 i, W of she lead
ing Fe6erolists who possessed warn and sai,-
guiSe hearts, Spontaneously, mo as i would
seem Without reflection, declared in favor or
their own country aiul her cause. The Inor.,
cautious stood aloof not Caring T., co,asnif
themselves, as they had done ~ twc l.three
Instances before, Ivy speaking rhe ho-,cst I'M
biasSed dictates of their FEELINGS. But alas
few short weekG passed, and the SOW re-
-mned to her waiiow aud the dog to his vo-
mt. They soon became the advocates Of Rri-
tish outrage and insult, & the cpposers of thejr
own government even on the very points Oh
which they had committed themselves but a
few weeks before.
II was indeed predicted BIZ mary who for
some time past had noticed the Nvavward
course of federal policy, that their honest A.
mericsn feelings would net be Of loi,s duration
and SOFT has happened 1t i. now distinct
iy understood that the Government is to re-
ceNe no federal support. They have had
the Keynote SCI them by some, master, ard
their tone and tune IS entirely changed. " Tie
Government must lie opposed, the cause OF our
country is rcthns. We want offices, and
nlrst have them" This has become the bur-
den OF federal songs and cborusses. Give
us, say they, Mr.. King for Secretary Of State,
and we T,ll then support our country ard her
cause" Gracious God what are We to think
of these people, and their continual boast of
exclusive Talents, Wealth and Patriotism p
Inc Union may be severed, large portion
OF our country ceded TO the enemy, our very
existence as an independent nation may be
threatened. &c they stand unmoved-or fthey
do move. it is in favor ofsthe enemy but
give to one ot their Leaders an office, make
Mr.. King but Secretary e State, and YOU
have their aid. There II the price of their
boosted Wealth, Patriotism and Talents.
Ye exclusive men of Wealth, Talents and
Patriotism, reflect little the People must
have some better evidences Of your honesty
than this offer to barter for office, before
they will trust you again. You must recoliect,
that, 7ve she. heohie, know very well, what it
is to have federal Rulers. ne have tryed
you, and z1c know you. I.
