ofthe utmost moment to those who "a.

as opposetlo those Of John Adams.
Never siueei he days Of those two men,
have the two gEsat political parties met
ON THE OLE Battle FIELD
OFs96, and never; since their disas>
trous defeat on that field till now, have
the old Fedealists rallied with zeal %
warm, and determination so despsr.
ate. The hope that the too Gon6denk
democracy may not take their former
advantageous position, the knowledge
that many Of the old veterans, who on
that day dashed among their ranks, and
hung on their broken rear like the a.
vengipg angel are now no more; the still
remaiDining marks Of the former des~
truction, all combined TO inyigora,e their
collapsed muscles, stir up their fallen
courage, and add an insanity and reck-
lessness TO their desperation truly ap>
Palling. The living advocates of John
Adams, his alien and sedition laws, his
standing army, aided by the last war to
ries, are 6ocking like the locusts of
Egypt TO the standard Of Con. HArrlsons

Hartford Convention, James Wilson,
supporter Of the, members Of that conven
tion Of unreasonable conspira,ors,' are
imported into the state to arouse the

Haswell, and McDonough, who burnt
Jefferson and Madison 10 effigy, who
with badges, with bon6res
and ilIuminations, the reverses of our
gallant army; who drove with clubs, our
worn and wearied soldiers from the
common town pump; and would not al-
low them cup Of cold water; who vo-
ted in our Legislature not to return
hanks to Almighty God for the SUCCESS
Of our army, who, like John Davis, cheer
I'D in the public streets, when the enemy
