! Democracy is represented to us in a
Ilndicrously forlorn attitude. President
Jefferson, amidst The destruction of his
whole system of policy, his embargoes.
his non-importation, his non-exportation
land his. g'm-boats, is still the theme of
democratic panegyrick.-in the name of
iconNmon sense, why is not this precious
lpolicy adopted, il the authos merits SO
lmuch applause! Mono, our political OPP
lponents are teo canning, to be made the
Idupes of embargo again--they applaud,
land they abandon Mr.. Jefferson at the
same moment-they tell him that they
admire him as prosigy of statesman.
while they sweep away all his plans and
projects with the same alacritv as clean
Nv housewife destroys dirty cobweb
with her broom. So much for the re-
iverence which they pay to the sage of
Monticello. But letus do our democrats
fall justice; if they applaud and abandon
on the one hand, they are equally expert
in slandering what they adopt on the
other.-Read theirealumnies and those
unacquainted with their characters would
ibelieve that every federalist was sub
lject of King George that he was actual
lily bribed by British gold; that he was a
traitor and a tory. While their pens are

lravy, and with ccumerce. the tive car

sEipg their exquisite embargo and their
fIss7ln-hoats, they abandon Mr. Jeferson's
darling projects :nor would they hesitate
a single moment in charging the whole to
the account of the federal party. Thus.
