porary a Democratic Republican in Virginia j.
one who framed and sticks to a Constitution which
allows rich man to vote in every County where he
has property and don't allow poor man to vote a;
,ll-and insists that Counties tanning three eighth
the Free Population shall govern the whole State
Now Hampshire he allows all white men to vote,
ou'nsiss that Catholics snd poor men shall not be
a"ov.d to hold the more responsible Offices. In all
'"e sosth he advocates openly the absolute eternal

Wing is, in perfect consistency with this a foe OF
the sway of one man, and advocate of the rule OF

legitimate and iorcibe phrase in which no lc,tcr
