gall, in noticing, amoL@ others, Tie .,l3 NJ
ters of our nei ghbourhood, is pleased +,
call them rich--and coupling them Nil #
others, to insinuate the fmlcsi calumnie Il
and lies--sucll Us hat they despise n,
honest I.ahourer, Us we'll as the Farmers IL
Of our country that they ape the man IN
ncrs of the European Nobility, &c. Im
the People judge in this case, and say |
whether their true friends are the accused \
or those acho nuke the accusation. They
have not forgotten the doctrine 50 recent,
promulgated in the ToWn-lIall, in vii II
nIinSton, by one of the would-be -rulers
over us, that he wanted ",ao interrupt;or
from any one aOho ear1,ed his daily Ircm
by has duly labour"U Has such ever been /
the doctrine of the MIillcrs now dragged I
into the Gazcttes They are in daily in, E
tercoursc with those who honestly earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow =
they give employ to more than one hun. !.
dred and fifty individuals, large pro. 4
portion of whom have families. Let in.
quiry be made of those who arc thus en-,
ployed, and we pledge our word, they
will answer, that the calumnies are Win l
out shadow of foundaiion The Nil
lers too, arc in daily intercourse with tne
yeomanry Of the country. Can the sour.
rilous conductor of the Gazette, find one
among all the Farmers thus connected
with those gentlemen, that will sustain the
character he attempts to give thcmr We
put him at open defiance, and unless he
succeeds. he must bear on his front, in
the estimation of every good citizen, the
brand OF ii base slanderer.
A rich CLERK must also come in for q
share Of abuse, for no other reason that
we can perceive, than his receivinga saa.
~ of 1900 dollars for hi, services This
too, is we'll; it will all tend to induce
inquiry: and if emoument in Office is to
be investigated, when the people come 70
inquire il Will not be confined to the
Clerks OF our Court--but they will IL
quire
4 Vho holds the office Of Coiiect0r!2
Uho has a general charge of Lieif
Houses and Light Bouts in our Bay:
I &c.
/ Who holds tie appointment of u. =
Senator, With compensation Of eisIt
dollars per day9
Who holds the Office OF District .7t{eg
neg of Delaware.
These inquiries viii probably lead To
The disclosure, that under thcs. several
appointments more hun TWO Hun
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS have
been received i'll tn lust twenty years -
exclusive, perhaps, Of he rich gieuargs
collected from the celebrated Haytian ea1
.4melia Island cases. Inquiry will show
srhere this GOLDEN HARVEST has centred.
But what shall we say of the vile and
wicked insinuation against large esiah-
, lishmemts, apparently solid''? Dare the
Editor, or the person who writes for him,
with all their cii'rontcry, speas. ont this
I vile insinuation in pluin terms? They
, dare not. And will the Farmers who re-
side around those large. establishments,
and arc deriving daily advantage from
tiem--Will thfg permit such calumnies
| against the gentlemen who conduct them
} with 50 much honor to themselves, and
benefit to the country? We look for bet
ter things, and hope it will open their eyes
i 90 the prostiiuted course pursuing by the
' i-eaders OF the Jac1son party. 1t must
be well remembered that three years ago
:, that infamous paper-thc Uelaaeare Ga-
i >.otto---was foremost in the cry against
!. JACKSON. The private interests of lis
managers rur now in an opposite direc~
ton. Their orders are given, and the
. slozannas to the General, show the most
!, scryile obedience to the mandates Of his
Y employers.
