FOR TIE h.NQUyRER
To he Democratic Voters of earico and Other Connis
FELLOW CirizESs Let me intrcat you not TO suffer
yourselves to be deceived by the shallow tricks of your
worst enemies bui to rash forward despite OF every
stace to the assertion of your rghtul authority now
more openly and dangerously assaed than it has been
at any prior period The Bill of Rights published by our
fathers IN l776 proclaimed these great and holy truths
THAT all power is vested in, and consequently derived
from the PEOPLE; that magistrates nr ihcr Trprsr,y
AND SERVANTS, and at ALI TIMES anenable to them -
