Cd with sirulence, and whose distinguished
friends they had increasingly branded with the
most disgraceful epithets.
Under this view of the subject, IL was propo-
scd, that an UNTARNIsHED NAME, in which the
Federalists OF the State had long reposed un-
bounded confidence, and 10 which il is now un-
necessary particularly to refer, should ce announ-
ced, and marshal every true patriot to the polls
To others the cxpediencv ofthc measure appear
cd too doubtful for experiment. Federalists,
though stout in heart, and unflinching in princi-
pie, were thinned IN ranks. and overwhelmed

Ter his character 10 abuse, from both of the con-
tending parties, without the prospect of eqGiva-
lent advantages. Ii was demanding too great a
sacrifice of patriotism, TO call any worthy person
into the field, when defeat was morally certain.
And could his election be effected either BY the
people or the legislature, the sacrifice would be
no less, surrounded rs he must be BY those in
whose counsels he could have no reliance whose
principles must be diametrically opposed to his
own, and from whom be is to expect nothing but
opposition. Ii was also objected, that the neces-
sary arrangements would require more time than
was left at our disposal, and particularly as it
would now be quite out Of our power TO consult
the wishes and preference of our brethren in
other parts of the State. 1t would appear AFRO
CANT, and might prove unfortunate for our future
prospects. All however, united in this one SEN
timent--that it was the unequiyocai duty of ev-
cry one who bore the name Of Federaiist, un-
hcsitatngly to attend the polls, and exercise their
invaluable franchise. That their votes should
be thrown for such person rs hereafter they
would not blush to own, when Federalism should
agaIe stand erect in all the confidence of con-
scious rectitude when she should once more Be
called TO partae in the counsels Of the State and
lead back to the safe path of sound principle
and truth, the erring steps Of a dcluded and in
Jured people. And what counsel, we would ask,
could be offered more discreet and dignifed The
result of an election which coniers a little brief
authority for one short year, has nothing TO of
fer worthy the smallest sacrifice OF principle.
And could il for an instant be conceded that
Federaists have any thing to wish between the
two contendlng parties or their champions, one
moment of conscious integrity is worth an age OF
triumph, gained as it must be, by an amalgama-
ton with either.
