could betal US as an evil mat WontC
bring disgrace upon our Nationals an
evil that would steep US as deep IN
shame as it would in gore-stIll if the
Federalists are determined TO pursue
that course-if they wiH bring disgrace
On the country-if they will stop at no-
Thing less, we say for one, come on, for
4'we have as many friends as enemies,
ald though the democracy will not be
the first to draw, neither will they be
the frs! 10 sheathe the sword. We have
yet such an opinion of the Democratic
party, as 10 believe that when compel
led to defence of their rights, They will
rise TO man, and stand by their arms
with all that spirit-with all that
htrength-with all that Patriotism, and
owe of country which has ever marked
hem--and wage war against an inter.
nal enemy, rs fercely, and as resolue-
ly as did those Patriots Of Bunker Hill,
tnd Lexington, against British oppres-

it come-Iet them come one and all.

hun, he for one, was willing to resort to
The rihgts that nature gave him. He
said this to Virginia audience, and
that Virginia audience answered him
with shouts ofappIause
The Richmond Enquirer says in ad-
dltlon to the above sentiment Of moral
treason, he said much to excite hatred
between parties, He exclaimed, 'hate
ihem,' curse them,' deSpise them, rush
upon them. If they wound you, mind
ituo,; but push Gil, turn aside their bay
onets, and crush them 10 the earth
Hoar what Ex Governor TnmbIo Of

One Of my friends told me, Immediately
