FIVE may Judge of the manner in which mower
will be exercised by the means by which il is sought
to be obtained, there is enough, truly, to alarm
fears, and to call forth all exeriOns. America
has ceased to be America; this country is no lon-
ger the country which we have been taught from
our cradles to love with the warmest attachment
If there be not virtue enough yet left among u.s. to
meet with stern rcbuke, and punish wi tn Just retri-
buiion, this unbounded license Of falsehood, this
ferOcy OF caumny, which threatens to plunge socie-
ty into violence, or carry it back TO barbarism.
Relying on good cause, let the friends Of the Ad-
mnstration breast this storm. Let them appeal TO
the good sense and the good feeling ofthe PEOPLE.
Let them labor TO dispcl prejudice, confuie error,
and misreprr and meet p.in false
hoods with plain denias. Let them exert the pow
ers OF truth and reason, to convince those around
them o the Importance Of the present crisis Events
are on the wing, which will leave consequences Of
Long du and strong hearing, for evil for good,
these Cnted States. If our own oppor tunIl,es
OF observation, upon men and things, have enabled
TO form any true judgment the success Of the op-
position candidate would be fraught with disastrous
consequences to the Cover aud to the country.
Convinced, for ourselves, deeply, that the great
question nearv concerns the public safety prosperi.
ty, and happiness; and resolved. tor ourselves, one
and all, to do our whole duty, exerting utmost
endcavors TO carry the cause To a nphant re-
suit, we now comment it earnestly to the faithful
guardianship of The real friends u civil liberty /; we
commend 1t to al who value good order and social
happiness; we commend it 10 whomsoever feels an
interest Tor himself or his children, ia the civil
institutions ot ms country we commend II, above
all, to the gracious protection of that Being, whose
favor has hitherto not deserted this nation, amidst
al the difficulties whici, have besct her path.
