to introduce the slavsh anu corrupt doctrines OF
the British court but TO Gail upoa the same l,eo-
pie 10 conllae in democratic administrator, is
strictly consistent with repubiicaaisn.
Without aly proof But the inference deduced
from certain measures, the people were made to be-
Ievc that the federaliss were in favour Of king,
and were rejected from olice Their successors a.
dept the same measures upon much more exten-
siye scale, aud lll rrtaip thei: character repub
iicans. Their obect,oas 5 federal measures were,
that they tended 10 ueresso the power and inilu-
ence OF The administrator IS involve the nation IN
warss to saddle the seopit sith burthensome and
oppressive a ses which ould be expended among
a aost OF r. Of every description, who in return
wocid become the supple tools Of their employers,
and thus progressively Iessenlng the hnpo OF
the people, and increasing the weight of rulers in
troduce monarchy FOR fear Of these consequences
the iedefaists were rejected from power yet these
very consequences have been brought Upon the ma
ton, by the present ruling party, aud danger is
apprehended.
1t the democrats have neither passed an
alien nor sediton law. But they have elected
the obJeci for winch those laws We're passed, by
other means. Intimidation instead of laws, and
mobs instead of Juries, were resorted to BY them.
] Matthew Lyon was imprisoned under the sedition
! Jaw, and Lingan was put TO death under the new
1rundian code OF democracy. Hu.aan nature is
\ slwas and every where the same. Place men in
| power, and they will look about them how to secure
aud extend that power. Free inluily is always OBJ
noxlous 10 rulers. When rec ironl bad Intention
they are conscious offalIibility, and would gladly
proven aay exposition OF their errors. Admit that
this object Of the edltioil law ii will be ia
congress against opposition, the countenance shown
to mobs and the uruidian doctrine OF moral trea-
son, were nothing but her aeans to effect the
same oolecL
The fcdoralists treat the people as frccmen, ca

democrats treat them a. peeyish, freiiul children
who must be palted, and coaxed, and palavered

but riot aad III auo.ne. We have seen them mann
tain, that presenting three or four guns al person
not known to be an officer, was treason by lesying
} war. Hence we have heard them maintain, al one
time, ihat the right OF The people to resist oppression
was sacred principle Of freedom anu at another
not to lend his money to government, was species
[ Of treason that merited halter. hence we have
heard them express the deepest concern at the ty-
ranny of the British government impressing their
: own seamen and, in a short time after, we have
heard them uaintain that every citizen Of this free
country was Liable to be made soldier against his
will. Men who SO often shift and vary their ground,
arr nevertheless consistent with themselves. This
very inconsistency constitutes their system.
The evils which the democrats affected to appre-
! hendfrom the federaIists, they have thenselve.
brought upon the country; war, taxes, and an en-,
ormous public debt, with their appendages OF cor
, ruptlon, oppression, and fraud. j he good they
promised to perform, still rests in promise. They
have adjusted question of national law nor have
they obtained any concessions or advantages from
any foreign nation by treaty. The loss they have
occasoned the country, is positive aud certain. Ii
they have secured to it any advantages, except the
purchase of Louisiana, must confess know not
what they are. Yet they are as dogmatical and
overbearng If they still sailing on the tide
Of successful experiment. The federalists have
steadily pointed out to them, that their ieas,lres
would lead to destruction Of our commerce, an
Improbable war, and runous taxes. These "croak-
ings of discomfort" as they we're called, have been
fatally verified and the federasts are hated worse
than ever. Ofwhst use is expcli ice, unless we
profit by it?
