‘Mr. (7r<?y—Sir, a trifiing
•£J'or having appeared in
jsjur paper op the 16th in/l
V * ‘relative to the desertion
• which took place from the

gainst Sackett’s Harbor, iri —
4 duces tnc to believe you
have, no corredt account of
that business. It is there
fore to be presumed that
the following will find *
place in your next.
“ Only one of the men
thatdeferted from the New
foundland Fcncibles was an
American born, it is rather
a Angular circ«mflance that
he should have been the on
ly one that was in the regi
ment. The other was a na
tive of the Bland of Jeriey.
I think it would be well if
your plan wa* adopted, and
e fc ry American discharged
. from the f&rvicc. A ferjeant
of the 1 ooth regiment and
foui Tailors abftnted them
felvcs fame time that
the Newloandlandir did.
But the, former it is laid,
never deferird. They fell
aftcep and were found the
next day by the Americans
in the arms of Morpheus.
A very long nap they mutt

[From the Political Examiner.]
Were a ft ranger to judge
from the editorial articles of
the federal papers, of the
situation of this country, he
would think that all the
measures of the general go
vernment were deviled ex- 1
pre.fsly to injure and opprcls >
the federalifts. He would
fuppolc that the bur-;
then of the war fell alike on
the (boulders of democrats ■
and federalifts, or • rather
that the republicans had to
bear by Ur the greater por
tion of it. Such misrepre
sentation have bee* circula
ted about the actions and
motives of government, that
many ignorant, yet well dif
poied yerlons, have been
duped into the belief that 1
our rulers were under the
immediate control ot Sona
parte, and that our country
w.i* on the brink of being
1 verifier.f to his ambition.
Fcderdlifn?, which created,
is interested in continuing
luch dekisiont; it is by
blinding the undedhnding's
ol the people that it prof
per# : the new ipapers, whole
columns aie proftit-uted to a
prottittiled c«ute, refute ro
gwe Cdte people light, i»e
c.Udte by us aid and tricks
mk a '*d deceptions would be-
come palpable It themselves
despised.
How senseless and tinge
ncrous is the present ©ppo
fition to government! Can
our ruleis have mterefts,
that we thould throw every
pefiible impediment in tht
way of their rncafurcs ? Hasj
not every public adt of go-j
• jvernmeni been dictated by
the drifted impartiality and
the purest iultice, both as
relates to our domedic and
foreign concern;: ? Has any
disposition been (hewn to
I succumb or facrilficc more
,J to the one than to the othei
j power ? And yet, what do
1 the federal papers daily tell
! us? That uniefs a regenc- |
! ration in our public coun
cils takes place, and that
: tkeir friends are put into of.
fice, our country will be
loft. And luppofing their
friends in power, what courle
, could be adopted that w#uld
sooner extricate us from our
j piefent difficulties, than the
; one pursued by oar present
! rulers ? The federalifts are
for peace —peace is their con
ftanc theme—but they have
forgotten it. their zeal to in
form us in what mannei
peace is to be obtained.
Would they negotiate? We
ibaye nejocia’cft. Would
! they lend mini tier after min-
Jfttr anu implore for justice ?
This vve have done aifo.
j Would they fight for then
[rights? Nj j this they re
fused to do. In what way
then, would they proceed,
I since they have condemned
every step taken by a demo
cratic administration ? They
would fall on their kees,
j 9
and ask pardon of his mi
jefty—his /acred majesty, for
having offier.ded—and pray
that he would once more
extend over them his guar
dian ca r e.
People of Maryland, the
! infimiations against the gen
eral government are faile,
‘and made with thedefign of
'railing ambitious and un
principled men to power
| Moderate federalifts, you
1 who have not yet iufticient
-Ily lucked in the poison or
faction, to be infeniible to
: truth and honor, examine '
well the characters and nic
j tentions of your /elf-created
leaders —and when you find
tlioie moll vociferous for a
change of men and measures
and crying in every corner
for peace, peace t ask of your
neighbor— are theje men can
didates fir ojfice ? And if
they are, you mull be dull
of comprehension, indeed,
1 if you find not a clue, to all
j their dill ails faction. Believe
j uie, these men make peace
; the hobby-horse on which
they expect to ride into
power.
