deserve fhe scorn and contempt OF every honest
man but We do not suppose it contained grea-

anti-w federalists to the American officers and
soldiers who achived victories by sea and
land, is warmly cherished still in their bosoms,
aud they evince it by pouring all the wrath once
levelled against Mr. Madison, now against the on
ly General to whom British army surrendered
during that war Parties are known by their
leaders-let us see whether the leaders of the
party who have stolen into power in the Disguise
of democrats, as Mr. Jefferson predicted they
might, are not some of the worst of tho old fed
eral party, without reference to their present
conduct which alone would be sufficient TO prove
their identity. Why they'
