of WASHING ION, tile fl st
oil Federaists, Law was passed by ecu
gress for the establishment of Naval Ar

ned the Fenitentiary of his state and telly-
cred tearlully a very comforting and SYM
pathetic speech 10 the convIcts suffering
under the coercion of cruel and unrelenting
justice, Gov. B Williams, of n. {. J heo
durus Bailey, now Postmaster at n. Y. ian
ofiice which he thinks much more sweet
and pleasant than going 10 sea and smell
ing vile bIlge water,) and host OF other
democrats, unknown to fame, who have
been swept away by the tide OF oblivion,
while OLD IRON-SlDESr rides in triumph
and in derlsion OF all their mad projects tor
fun boatc and Drv-docks
Americans you have now had the bene
fit of twenty years experience--say ",
who we're right in their predlctions--the
FederahSts or the JucobinS The old Fed
eral Heroes, Truxton and Talbot, Barry
and Preble, formed and disciplined our
present Navy, which rode out the tempest
OF democratic hatred Only few months
before the declaration OF war, and after that
measure was determined upon in the CAbi
net, our Democratic Congress after long de-
bate soiemnly decideIthat the Navy ought
no, TO be increased and patronized The
arguments Of Lloyd. Quincy,
md Cheeves, svaied nothing against the
croakings of Seybert, K. "a Johnson, and
D. X Williams, who decla ed that If they
should happen 10 behold all our F'gates on
fire, and if they could extingash the flames
by once splitting, they svontd not otaen their
ms. No indeed-they would have much
sooner spit in an honest mans face.
