DO it not forgotten, voted with this same Mr.
Pickering ia Senate of the u. States lin opposi-
ton 10 Mr.. Adams) against the prominent mea-
sures OF the Jefferson administration, is well cal
cuiated to rouse the honest indignation of every
high-minded honorable republican.
Let the infatuated men of Richmond reflect
on the conduct of the party they now have add
United to their fraterna embrace towards pre-
eminent character at present in retirement,
whom they basely deceived, while they professed
the highest friendship for him-a man who will
ever be revercd by the virtuous Of all parties,
Tor his conspicuous services i'm the cabinet dur
ing the revolution, and entitled forever to our
gratitude. for having employed his latter years
IN exposing those cuip,ifs who, while they pre-
tended to vcnerate him, were undermining the
| liberties Of their country; and who at this day,
encouraged by their Richmond aities, are piais-
ing to exuitation the man Timothy, who has so
| recently endeavOred to stigmatIze tue democrat
| &c party, and to blast the fame of Jcffeison as
well as Adams.
| We can assure Mr.. Richie, that his new re.
criits in Boston arc nothing more or less than
| Old tories in masquerade. The people know them
well and begin TO see distinctly through the
DIV c Of their conductors, the Richmond Juntc
who they now openly accuse of making use OF
the icveu Federalism to raise up corrupt mass
OF faction, formed by a,nalgamating the ultra
lfeterasts with the of!als drummed out of tie
Republican ranks. The federal cohort so long
deserted, having now been filled up by the M
s:rument of the ultras of all parties in the anci-
ent dominion, the term fe,ieraiists. which had
| nearly become extinct, will again be in
vogne-and were il possible for the coalition to
succeed in their plots, pure Iepublicanisrn
would, ere long, as formerly, be denounced-a

of Mr.. Crawford's federal addresses Of 1893 i'm
his pocket, as passport to Executive favor, in
lnsteiy be more respected than an old WING with
out these emblems of fraternity.
The friends of MIR. Adams, the pure rcpubli-
cans, cannot court this unholy alliance of fac,i-
on-nor can they, for moment, forget the ORR
gin and progress oft predominant character
which was IN the beginning, is now, and will be
Constitution without end, anti-rcpubican or fed
eral. This they boldly avowed when in the ze-
NTH of their power-and it was then like that
Greek who took the name of Cvnic (dog) from
| i's resemblance to one OF the canine species,
that they chose for themselves the gene71clc
name IF Fedeyufists, which in its true etymoIo-
logy and entire Specification means i'll lav ored,
filthy. ana infamous. more significant term

Essex and Richmond dcmagngues, or that con-
veys more perfect idea of their want of princi-
We in their first opposition TO one of the most
profound and distinguished statesmen this or any
| other country ever produced.
The Essex Junto, composed of old tories and
monarchists, brought for years, as the Rich
| nond Junto are now bringing by Joining issue
with them, disgrace and ruin on their native
state. Far be it from us to thuIS, or even hint,
that the freebolders of Virginia have deserted
their ancient principies-we know that when
Massachusetts, after discovering the Essex
Junto, and returning to the great republican ia
| nily, offered them the right hand of fellowship,
'hcy were willing to receive if, and embrace The.
larng son of their sister state, but the demon of
federalism transported her torch OF dscord to the
capital Of the ancient dominion, and there light
\ cd mp the taper of Mr.. Richie, which has be-
| wIl,!ered many an honest man and caused disu
n'n in the republican, ranils.-'Thus divide and
conquer. This beading maxim of the Old tories
and federalists has at last succeeded in raising

word t3&7t signfy ing filthy &c. From the adjective
