Repa6i'cdn, in the army Of Wayne, before he
whom his slanderers uphold knew the meaning of
the term He will there see that the man whom
they now denominate federalist was a supporter
OF jefferson while holding important office under
the elder Adams. He will see him subsequently
appointed by the author Of the Destination indie
pendence to be the first Governor of that favour
tie western country" upon which that far-seeng
patriot relied 50 fOndv and affectionatey as the
counterpoise and barrier against the degeneracy of

eracy. There, too he will see, that while millions
passed through his hands as the agent Of the Gov
er'lment not dollar ever entered his purse. Com.
ing down TO the middle period Of his services, he
will sec that he wore TO the army the double com
missions of James Madison and Isaac Sheby--nnd
that ne received the marked appreciation of the gov
ernments of both. He will here too read the story
o. the cruel ntriEues, and the abandoned Injustice
OF q few men who were interested TO PROSTATE

as he progresses to the overthrow and discontinue
Of his oppressors and the triumphant yndication of
