DESIGNING men, or In otkr
men who call
‘Federalists,” sometimes “Friends
ts peace, union and commerce” and
at ‘-her times, the “ Muhvarkt of
religion,” are inftdiouiiy inlinuating
that whenever ihe people aie cali.J
upon for the new federal taxes hey
will make a great node, anti ger
riaps icbel. To apply the te:in or
rebellion to the people of ihk coun
try, is to me not Lfs strange than
inexplicable. Vw ho arc they to
rebel a* .tinft ?—thcmlelves ? ‘1 hey
have no matter nor monarch at their
head, and ii they do rebel it mult
be againlt thcmlelves, the “ Suver
ci u People” lam one cf the

fulFr.iges of my fellow-citizens, and

ir.a.ici >LS person slander the gov
ernment at the expcnce of the peo
ple. .Anho’ a plain man, I have
r.or inattentive to the politics
of tnv country. I have noticed the
commotions of Europe ; I have fee n
ration*'! law trampled under foot;
2 have fecn a diredt attempt made
by Great-Britain, (the power with
v.hr rn v.c are now at war) to lap
our liberties, and reduce us to a
of vaflalage—and 1 have fecn
those fame men who endeavor to
sport with the feelings and charact
er cf the people by representing the
as oppnlfive and unjust, exert
their ingenuity in offering apologies
:or the violences committed oil our
lovereignty by G. Britain. It is
true wc may be hurried into lome
extravagance of exprefiion for lit■=•
r i.ment, by the falfe reprefenration
of wicked and designing men—bat
We arc lure to take time for confiJ
•: ition before wc aft, and bv that
means get relieved from the intox
icating poison poured down our
throats by knaves and quacks—
Kcalon again refumes its sway, and
v. h.xi-tne again lenfible of our
i viable situation as freemen. I
trull that there will always be found
\ tfi. ii.nt honesty and intelligence
among the people of the it- dates, to
guard them a ainft anarchy & cct.-
Jufion, tor whenever that period ar
rives, our liberty is gone forever—
and its doling day will be ovcrcaffc
