Mr.. Editor,
am inclined 10 believe that the word
- Federal" in that part Of the article upon
the the approaching election in Bri*ol Dis
trict, which speaks Of JAMES ARNOLD, must
have been used by mistake. for "Aristocrat"
or some term Of similar meaning, through
inattention or slip OF the pep. ttt
As that article now reads, II does uirnifest
injustice to . considerable portion Of the peo-
pIe of this District. II is but few years
since those who hore the appellation Of Fed
| cralists were n majority Of the District and
the candid Of their opponents. will. uuquest-
ionaby acknowledge that amoug themwas .
good proportion Of The friends Of their Coaln-
jfry snd Of equal rights. The reasons for par
ty differences having ceased to exist, thsy are
now ready TO join with a majority Of their
former opponents, under q different appalla-
ton, 10 promoting the common good, and in
opposition to an Aristocracy, whether ii be
clothed in Federal or Repu blican dress.
MIR. Arnold Is, uDquestionably, aristocrat-
ick. both 10 his principles and in his conduct
ind you would be entirely mistaken in be-
lleving that he has been, or will be, general
ly, supported by those who have been de-
nominated Federalists.
After the nominaticn Of the Hon. Hercules
Cushinan, when it was believed, that Mr..
Hodges, the Taunton candidate for Repre-.
sentative 10 Congress, would not be elected,
MIR. Arnold was nominated, solely with view
of promoting the local interests Of that place.
The person, who first suggested this nomi-
nation to few Of the Aristosrscy Of New
Bedford, 10 OF Taunton, is possessed of great
wealth, has possessed great influence, and has
possessed great influence, and has now the
reputation of consummate skill in political
management. The great object to be accom-
plisbed by the mda9ucre, is the reconcilcni7nt
of the powerful aristocracy Of New Bedford
to the present state Of the County. By offer-
ing 10 them participation 10 the honours Of
the whoIe County, which have, heretofore,
beea mostly engrossed by Taunton, il is ex-
pected to induce them TO relnqliish their de-
signs OF obtaining a division of the County,
AMI their cooperation ia preventing, that d.
vision. That, for the purpose Of effecting this
object, an attempt has been, and will again be
made, TO kipdle anew the animos " Of party
feelings, there is no manner OF doubt. But
the eIfsh and local object Of the principal
Managers is so obvious, the motives Of their
management, heretofore, has been 80 uniform
ly found, to be for the advancement of their
iainily connexions to Office. and sthcir own
particular interests /; and above all, the total
absence of all traits in The personal aud polit-
ical character Of M. Arnold, which would be
fitted to recommend him to the choice of the
people, is so notorious. that. but few of those
who bear the name Of federalist, will give
the votes for him. They will not give ccun
tenance 10 the slanderous imputation of cher
ishi.g aristoeratical prime Iples themselves. by
voting for man who gives constant evidence
in his conversation and conduct, that he does
cherishsuch principles but they will on the
fist Monday of March, cast their votes for the
by them believed, TO be the bes!
qualified, by his talents rnd legislative expe-
riencc, to promote the interests ofthe people,
withou. regard 10 denominations.
