A M!SmCAN PATIIIOT. AAVAVJAiII. JUNE 4, 1312. Theheis no ?i"t more contemptible -unworthy, nor any more frequently bjrtetiscd in this free country than a c„;.!ful daecpiinu of a we!! ir.teationed nennle, for the personal aggrandise ment of a few ir.t. rested and ambitious ilein&gogues. The prosperity of the neur'e and the good efthe country are Dst sight of, when interfering with the pi'o'crt s which are to promote the ag craadizeaisat of a faction. If Histo ry and eqpcrieree utd not unfold the true unvarnished character of those, who,under the hypo.VEical garb of be iDg the only friends of a credulous po pulace-are in reality tlieir worst en emies, a very slight.observation of their ciovementa would defect them. Such characters, generally, either in par f.uit of, or bottling offices, beer.me the bumble parasites of an unprincipled partizan,and net only approve hi ■ acts, however ruinous or absurd, sanction his •■---thus, however false, adhere to H- rd- ‘ rrddo schemes, however ex ploded, but dangle upon his look, smile ;;f las nod. and are at all times watch ing fhr ir oppertr.f’l'.y to administer to his capricious pedate the fulsome ho ney of fawning sycophantic flattery.— It i- scarcely uercsr.ary to confirm the preceding remarks, to refer to the piti ful servility of the msjoiily j-j Con gress daring the present disgusting ses sion, ard tc the abject resolutions, so fashionabls of late, c amending every thing, censuring noiking. which a fac tion whose character :Ira.ll shortly bo delineated, have the audacity to cal! the voice of the people. Falsehood becomes a laudable innocence, is basely echoed, and is made the unueviating staadard of faith when announced Iv a facticr.s leader. The inconsistency of Mr. Madi son, Lis Congressional parasites, and contemptible minions thro’ the Uniea, was never more apparent than at (.lie pr-ent crisis ; which completely ex ,pres their unprincipled folly: For have with an unexampled prastitutisr. o? their legislative iude pendvri'.-e, Free themselves the mere nnpvvfs of the President, hud because tier .ri isate \v;jli ]ii:n, adhere to wild projects the moat foolish, sanc tioned subserviency to foreign despot ism the most degrading, and with the most astonishing infatuation have rcit feiv.tcd falsehoods the most unblushing, —and still terdee.* to show their sla vish devotion tilt is will, have assem bled in Caucus, and when the nation is disgusted with and sick of the man. u sarped the authority of recommending him again as a candid .te for the sa ::r eiitee which be lias <ii.graced. The whole state of our foreign relations grows out of Mr. Madison's proclama tion aanafineir.g an unqualified false boo 1, and on this r.ntttsd the national legislature have not hesitated to plunge ?; ,■ country into disi<. ss by sacrificing c.tree and interdicting the intro dcetir.a of Am.':. so:: property from a braßfl, but are abaut deliberating v. he -'■’"■vsbsb s . . the humblevas. s\b f Napoleon, ’ey ob* wing hi- inun date .of denlar.b.g w;.r against England. After ..;.i iafain:ius =vion of seven ljwafhs, hostilities l ave i:ct yet been . <seclarod, aithoa&h threatened all that time—and ta save the siakir “ (-harac icr of those rua'a, jeopardised by their own lolly, who have gone too far to retread, and afraid to e.<!v .nee, the tb .magogaes in the sea-port towns are anxiaas to prop them by servile resolu tion*, expressive not of the sense of the pecpl-, but of a most motley group. H is rather surprising that the raeu who twelve years since crept into office by raising a clamor again .t Hurf.vt T*xf,, should now advocate Dearly double that amount—and that -dicr reducing the people to absolute distress by tyrannically trampling up *n flieir commercial rights—but the iioaerate & necessary faxes of Adams, “sre for the protection of eonjmerce A rtsentiug the piratical aggressions of *rat.ee. while those of the present day ■*’ fer the support of Mapoleon's sys- tem a:;:! the grat.tlration is.•.ci.m;- animosity rgainst Britain.

The people have the remedy in their awn hands—let them apply it. Let them denounce the folly and corruption of a faction which has already reduced them to want, indelibly stained the honor of America, and degraded the nation to the lowest point of humilia tion—are about dragging them into the field, like miserable conscripts, not to tight for their country, but maintain the power of a few despotic dema gogues—and then to complete their servitude, ta rob them of their hard earnings under the form of taxes, alter drying up tiie sources of revenue, by plundering the merchants of their hon orable and lucrative commerce. Shall such a system of measures be approv ed, when those who have money will net intrust it to their own government, and when all N. England arises in the majesty of her strength, and says she will no longer be imposed upon ? For the American Pair':;. St. M -it's, 26th May, 1312. .V/'r.vov.'. Kdilur AN extract of x tetter appeared in Ac Republican Savannah Evening Ledger, of the 14tU May—the writer acknowledges himself to have ban one of the leaders of the Bri gands that invaded Florida—and in hopes of exculpating himself and party, to the world, from their despicable proceedings, he dares to stritualize the inhabitants of 1 .-rnandina, Hy celling them smrglers, &c.

You shall hear further front A FRIEND TO .'si IFF. In the Democratic Press of is( week, two members of l.'ongn---; are honored with a plentiful shower oi‘a huse : ‘i lieso are, Messrs. Milnor and Randolph. As tiie Editor of that pa per has received iionorahle merles of distinetipn from twonty-Mtie,,different universities, wc !te i •*( he - bout as well rkillra in the true Bil lingsgate stile as any man on this con tinent. It is astonishing how power ful that stile is, when used by way of argument. A e-sion has more effect than the ablest essay, in proof of this, we will just observe, that the. /temoeralic Press calls Mr. dolph -'Jut. What a rhetorical flourish! The inuendoes of .Tunitishidc their diminished heads, at the sight of this splendid, beautiful, overwhelming metaphor! If Howard were present, we would inquire of him at which of the prison's in Europe this term is most current: that not being the case, however, we will venture to aflirni that it is used by the most far.lt ion&hle amongst thevers ‘ciited patriots in all the jails of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Newcastle upon T'vtte. On reflection we are inclined to think the epithet Jock is pretty fami - liar to t.!i'-:n ail. If any emotion can be excited-in an honest man’s Imsom by the calumny of such a writer, it must fie that of ex ultation. To be traduced by the same men who vilified the illustrious Wash ington, is in our opinion, no inconsider able honor. To shew what little re gard the Press entertains for truth, we select one sentence. Speaking of Mr. Randolph, lie says : “ The man whose whole study is to traduce and abuse his country, could not reasonably he ex pected to hold a more respectful opin ion of our navigating, than he does of our pk ntim; and manufacturing eiii yr-n!.” This sentence;properly amen ded, would read thus : 44 Tin- man whose whole study is to expose the folly and wickedness of a ruling party, cannot he expected to entertain a mnr ■ respectful opinion oi it fortune-] tinting gang o<‘desperate foreigners, hy whose machinations our country has been brought to the x urge of ruin. Yes ! OUR country, we. repeat: not Eng land, France or Ireland, but the good old United .Skates of America. This is our counts v. and to ‘no other can we ever feel all eiitml attachment: Aor could ui! the l ilies and patronage and honors in th . power of any government on earth tobe -low. ever eradicate that ioxe which we cherish for our native v.il ; the example th a i limber of refu to ti.e contrary notwithstanding. Inthese remarks, we are not under! ik a-’ , a defence of Messrs. Mlire r and Randolph, it is totally urtuects.-arv in the present ease; a:;:! if ,- . t.‘.<- 4 lie,-,,’ .i are much mere cable of their own justification.
