 cans, shall it continue to support those measures which have heretofore rendered us great and rich
 people? Shall they join the Jackson cry this state that all who opposed the Hero, are federalists
 Hartford Conventionsts, and tories or shall they honestly and independently support administration which they helped to elect, and which has yet sup
 ported measures which have ever been lavorte ones with them?
