The judicial departments vested in one
Supreme Court, and such superior and In
ferior courts as the legislature may sp-
point he State shall be divided into

II requires but glance at the democrat
lex papers of the day, 10 see the unremil-
ted eXertions that are made to rekindle the
fame Of civil Observation-Disclosures Eve
mean the baser sort') are more provoked
with the federalists than eve because the
conduct of the latter, at the present time,
gives the lie to the charge ofindiscriminate
opposition to the government. They are
mortified at the consistency of principle ex-
hibited by federalists who have uniformly
contended for I" trincihles, nor men, in re-
garding with complacency the present ad-
ministration, and in ceasing war against
the government when the government ceas
es to wage war against the principles of
Washington. No art is left untried 10 re-
enlist the passionsa and prejudice Of the
cabinet at Washington against men whose
only crime has been that Of unlorosly advo-
cating, through goood repor, ard through
evil report" that system Of measures which
1t is now admitted on all hands, is alone
consistent with the honour and interest of
the country. What effect their exertions
are 10 have, remains to be seem III the
administration imbibe the rancour Of some
OF their partizans, federalists must again
put themselves on their defence. Iut in
the mean tins, We trust the latter will nos
suffer themsejyes to be provoked to furnish
fuel Tor the fame which is attempted o
be reklndled.-Moes. Shy.
