portion of community against anotner--to
prejudice the rich against the poor, and the

meanness and demagogism, and ought To be
frowned upon and reprobated by every patriot
The holiow-hearted cry, Democracy Democ-

fishing home manufactures, and in the plce
of all Articles of d lmeatic growth and industry.
