That men ambitious of public life should have bee

OF our race, generally act honest feelings of
their hearts when such contests come up as the
present. and this honeshexpression of the promp
lungs OF true patriotism, goes for to give tho lie TO
that libel on Republics, that their citizens are
ungrateful.
