Look. we entreat our intelligent and reflect
inc readers, to the tone and temper OF the lead
mo organs Of the late dominant, but now over
whelmed Federal Loco-toco party look at the
articles Of the Globe, the Richmond Enquirer,
and the last impudent circular Of that beggar for
eleemosynary support Amos Kendall What
do they show7 Not only that faction is to be
created which shall give an unprincipled and
iactious opposition TO the measures OF the COM
ing Administration, right or wrong, but that
corps Of mercenay scribbers is to be establish
ed, who will take care that the best measures of
those who are to come into power after the fourth
Of March, shall be misrepresented into faults
and those faults exhibited TO the public through
spectacles Of wonderfully magnifying power
Their hatred 10 General Harrison, and his
leading friends, is equal TO the detestation which
the celebrated Puteney manifested for his oppo-
nents in the Ministry, in letter to his friend
Switt--"I should be sorry they had The merit
ofdoing any thing right They will labor in
dustriously to produce the impression that those
who have so sienaly overcome them do nothing
right, and cannot do good to the country. For
this purpose Kendall and Blair, and Richie,
and their allies and subordinates, and echoes,
who have been so long engaged in the wretched
but ineffective druagery of pallating the mis-
deeds of the present doomed Administration
and assailing the characters Of true patriots and
honorable statesmen will continue to be banded
together. They will endeavor to load the sue
cessors of their present patrons, as was said by
Swift of the Vaccinations of the little low parti-
san scrlbblers of his own time-s'with as much
lntamy as the most inveterae malice and envy
can suggest or the most stupid ignorance and
credny IN their underlings can swallow"
we warn our friends at this early period that
one Of the most busy, industrious, perseverng,
vlgllant INSCRIPTIONS, and dishonest factions
mat ever rose in any age, or any country, is to be
organized and stimulated to its utmost power
against them by all the inducements which are
most powerfully persuasive upon such men as
n -

prospects OF those who have supported General
harrson-although neither eye nor ear may de-
'ec' symptom OF any approaching tempest Of
opPosl'loh--thoush the skies may be bright-yet
