:, ,h;s conry by faithful and encr-
pe,io admistauon OF It.


To,be en- who assisted in forming
an a carryg into successful operation
nj 5 glsrus palladium Of our rights
and nYipeges have yielded willing
and che ful support; and happy would
!, hav.,cen for America ifan opposi-
tion their principles or measures had
ucveOeen organized. But unfortunate
10 r the peace of society and the pros
-rpv and honor Of the u nited States,a
tcxfac,ious and unprincipledcharacters
o.osed the federal constitution in its
,igin, and used every cxertion to pre-
vnt its being ratified BY the states.


The opposers of the constitution,
finding their attempts to crush it fruit
less, and the administration of 1t being
committed to its friends, the enemy as
sumed new ground--'to misrepresent
and traduce the principles and mea-
sures of the federalists, has been the
point to which all their malice, all their
cunning, has been directed-no mean,
however fhse or base, is omitted--the
vilest passions are appealed to, to aid
the fury Of the democratic party.


AS specimen of the fTaise 7yorthy
ererhons of the democrats in this town
] wish you, if consistent with your feel
ings, to publish in the next Gazette the
Hand Bill which was issued from the
Argus Office, on the day for the choisc
Of rcpresentatives-A more false and
infamous publication never disgraced a
free tress. If the democrats are bent
on pursuing such measures to propa-
gate their principles, it viii have a di-
rect tendency to distroy the peace and
harmony of the town and TO them
will rebound all the satisfaction ofbeing
the authors of such a state of happiness.
