In your paper Of the 5th

pleasing railery is exhibited, for what
purpose cannot understand, unless the
writer wishes to divert public attention
from the principles exposed by 'lronsides'
in the toast OF the 4th Of July last, and
keep up an excitement till after The cleo.

no right out what Is vested, not like the

profess to govern by divine right. 10 our

power is derived from them. "Down with

that the constitutions Of the United States
and the State of Ohio are get sufficient au

Sec. SIh, of said article (ast clause)
speaking of the power Of Congress says,

very far, retrograde in Ohio, before the
real democracy will disgrace themselves
by resuming their natural powers, and ex

the power, are fully competent TO admin

which they have risen to such an unex-

happiness; they will sustain them; and
not permit demagogues under the name
Of Democrats to destroy that fine fabric
which was so dearly purchased with the
blood ofthousands of the Purest patriots
that ever fought and bled in the cause Of
freedom.
There are restless spirits in all commu
mites, who are with difficulty restrained
from excesses, 81 for these, the restraints
of law and order are as necessary as to
guard against flood, or fire. Let "Deno'
