I" We believe their are in Virginia
few individuals who have long been deter
mined to fway the nation. The principles
Of federalifm were oppoftd to them. Ev-
cry unjuf mea(ure was taken to dearoy
thofe principles, by emitting againf the fed
eral administration, all the office -feekers, in
the union, who uted all unwarrantable ar
guments, and dilhonorable and difhonelt
means, 70 defroy it, They fucceeded.,-
One monument OF federal wifdom was
knocked away after another They began
to quarrel with one another for the loaveS
