From the Wilmington
Diary of ant of the federal oppdjrfron In
Congress,
Monday] Spent all yesterday in (ert
ous (reflection. Could not think of any
just ground for oppofitton—Mr. JefFcr
fon’s racalurcs all calculated for the good
of the country —a plague on such a prefi.
dent—never does any thing to find fault
with.—l wish the democrats had fixed on
any other man—how the devil they came
to make so wifi: and prudent a choice I
don't know.
Vail 11 o'clock, time to be in my place
—prayers are over—not fond of them—
heigh, ho—can’t think of any yet —well,
I'll go and oppose every thing—that will
Iwltppofitiers—no pretext for any other
♦land —meafurcs arc all right enough, to
Le lure—O ! what a damn’d thing to be
in a minority.
Tuesda y] Had a bad day yefterday—
loll a great deal of ground in public opi
nion—gallery all laughed at me when I
{poke—wont attempt to be witty any
more. Lord knows what is to become
ol us—minority daily growing lefs—
dropping off one by one—would not like
to be left alone— tea Jippcrs (hnuld not
make much noise about taxes, they them,
/elves impofyd—confound the journals, I
lay—very much afraid common folks will
je them—cutfe your ayes and nays, how
hate them-—our votes will do our cause
90 good---let us fee-—we voted a duty on
jLft of 20 cents per bulhd, (I'd give a
w ndfame bounty for a little “attic" to
sprinkle over that vote)—we voted an
dltional duty on bohea tea, Sec, O,
% hen my fpccch of yesterday, is contrail
fid wffli this conduft, the blockheads will
point their lingers at tat...mem. Not to
walk tlie (Ireets much when 1 firft return
home.—-A plague on the journals still
fay 1.
Wednesday] The Internal raxes will
be taken oxf in spite of ns—forty I oppo
sed it—did not lee so deary then-.-told a
great many {Tones/;/ the bargain. —said the
rich paid for thcin--.no body will believe
that.—that was going rather too far—
rich people do not drink our country li.
rjuors—l know the poor paid for the
ftampp—travelled sometimes a great way
<0 get them—my neighbour Giles com
plained to me bitterly once, how he had
to ride 20 miles one day to get a ten cent
slump, to give squire HoldfaSf a note for
twenty-five dollars, he borrowed of him
to pay for a cow ; foundered his horse on
the way, was in such a hurry to get the
money; spent one hundred cents, and loft
his day’s work in the bargain...! would
not have told this for any money— Excise;
Stamp aft ! Very ugly names—do ns
much harm— -Hamilton loved them—they
excited two infurreftions—Hamilton said
they would strengthen our party—- not so.
-— Mem —take twenty drops of laudanum
to-night, left they Ihould dillurb my rest.
Thursday] Nothing favorably turn
ed up yet —such a week as this has been
—near 500 federal officers are employed
in collecting the internal taxes, going out
■of pay... all those fine fellows now will
have to turn to, and make a living for
themselves, after having lived so long on the
public—oh ! the ingratitude of Repub.

cleft ions—l dclpifc the right of voting—
our friends of Delaware, in the House of
Reprcfentativcs, have justly resolved “ it
is not only a proper but a laudable fubjeft

truth is not to be spoken at all times,” and
I believe the feldomer we speak it the
better for us.—-I can think «f no plausible
Ifrory this morning—l feel the effefts of
the opiate I took last night too much-—so
heavy and dull—great mind not to go to
the house to day—-it wont do to flay at
home either—try if I cant dream of some
good fat tale to night.
Friday] Rested badly. Bayard’s speech
on the judiciary frightened me almost to
death—could dream of nothing butfwords
and guns, drums, trumpets, and bayonets
—wifli I had drank more wine before 1
went to bed ; rake no more opium ; gives
me the head ache next morning. Mem,
drink two bottles of wine this afternoon,
and llecp found. Bayard feared our fide
prodigioully—democrats laughed at his
threats—l with he’d recolleft how many
old women there are amongst us—w'on’t
take my feat to day—-afraid to hear the
word of his speech—the worst is to come
perhaps—l fee plainly it will do us no

If Saturday] Feel somewhat composed
I to-morrow will be a leisure day—wont
g° to church federalists make a mockery
of religion—people begin to know it—
afhamed to aCI the hypocrite 90 that Cub
jecV...religion a very good thing—has
nothing to do jviih politics, tho’ church
and ftafc.hi the song in Connecticut. Feds
do in that reCpett. Told
them To often. More real religion on the
other fide.% They make no fufs about it.
M ill iakqpnsy feat this morning. Feds
will think jp|ave deserted them. Not
right to llajr too long on board a finking
Ihip, Rats do not do so ; very wife ani
mals. People have deserted us. We tax
ed them 100 much, Dbnt care tho'. Made
money enough. Join the other fide for
the office I have in view. So would any
of my friends. No chance of a birth ihorr»
1/. Hold too, a little longer. Our folks
ad badly. Tell too many lies. Dont |
blame them much neither. Got nothing
dfe to tell. People dont believe them
when they speak the truth. Fedei&ifm
I fear is done. We must change our name,
and a new name will not serve us. Peo
ple not so ignorant a herd as we have sup
posed them. Feel my federaliAn oozing
out at my toes. Take care it does not
(et my (lockings on fire. Poor Dayton’s
burned up a tew nights ago. Never been
so hot as him. High time to change my
course.
Mem. To take the fvrft opportunity of
becoming an hor.ell man,
