MY lar obfervasions on the Lit
lie Argus" noticed the inconiiltency
of tholc who conftitute the democra-
tic party.-Whcn w Arlington and
Adams conducted the affairs OF the
nation, they elamoured againit high
ialaries, high taxes, great expences,
&c. No fooner was JSferfon in the
chair, than the great officers of gov
ernment mutt have, in time of peace
and plenty, higher falaries than was
before given in a time of war, when
the prices Of the ncceharies Of life
were-much higher. Some taxes, 70
iprsrsate POPULARITY, were abolifhed,
Whit unnecefary exp ences were in
Cured 70 a very large amount.


However important, and necthary
for the honor and fafcty ofthe nation,
that money lhouid be raifed and ex-
pended during the administration Of
Wafhingtsn and Adams, every thing
that concerned the public finances
was reprobated by the democrats :
and economy, eronemy, was their dar-
ding theme and how has it been'at-
tendcd to fince Thoufands and tens
of thouiands of dollars yes, millions
of dollars are waited, and the nation
involved in dett which the prefent
generation will foon feel, and future
generations loaded with. Is this
economy no matter whether it is
or not-the word has anfwered the
purpofe Of the democrats.


Federal officers are removed, and
the friends Of Jcfferfon have obtain
ed their places and all is right. IF
they ihould even purfue the plans of
Warrington aud Adams, il would
now, in the opinion of their fupport-
ers, be all right. But it would take
volume to relate all the inconiiften-
cies of theie feIf filled republicans
There is not word in the American
language (that does not convey an
idea of vice. that can be better ap-
piled to their character than iNcoN-
slsTENcY.


The I" Little Argus" concludes
with pathetic addrefs TO the citizens
Of his feet, in the following words


seRepublicaus, by general attendance

town, fuccefsful in its wife exertions,
i, is not 70 now, in the election Of
members to compofe its legiilatiye
department Of government.


What the effect will be, the clofe
of the prelent political year will in
fome degree, diicover ;-already we
hear of the tyranRy of the democratic
faction in the Legiflature-blef1ed
fruits Of the "harmonizing" plan
which has been lately a favorite topic
in tbs antifeGeral papers ! The next
Eews will probably be, that thefe
good democrats, shefe dear friends
Of the people, have worked out Gov
ernor Strong, who has been chofen
by the people, and placed in the
chair of government one who was
not chofen, becaufe he harmonizes
with the wife administration Of JEFF
