evidence of their correctness in new party ma

informs us that Governor King and Council were

The cars from Providence were loaded with women

from the ambition and jealousy Of hun who owes all
that he is to the surages of those whose confluence
he has betrayed, yet enough has resulted from that
revolution TO show how greatly the unsuspecling
confidence of the people has been abused, and yet
how much remains TO be achieved, to restore our be-
loved Government to It's former purity and excellence.
Within few years past the march Of Federalism has
been truly alarming. Instead of representative De-
mocracy, our Government has been converted into an
elective monarchy. The Executive has swallowed up
every other Department, and Congress has become
but registry Office to record the edicts it promulgtes
To accomplish this usurpaon was the work OF Skin
and perseverance. The means which were available
for its execution the bestowal of oce-the re-
warding of partisan efforts, and moneyed patronage
of the Government. Faithful and efficient officers
have been sacrificed to the po.icy-and those who

of the Cabinet, subservent to the nod of the dictator
