Harper. Jt is proper to inform thefe rea ders who are nut acquainted with the cinumflancts , that Harper, a number of Congrefs from the weft ern part of South-Carolina, was a few years ago a violent democrat— that he became a member of the De mocratic Society in South-Carolina, and in order to effeSl his eleSlion as member of Congrefs, he clad hin ftlf in the plaintjl habits , confifling of a pmt tailor’s jacket and overalls made out of common brown linen , and that in this dre/s, and under the pretended guard of republican ifm. he went forth upon eleSlioncer ■- ing fehemes. The Simplicity of his external appearance , his freienfions to re public ant fin, and ius vocifera tions in the pine bar rens of Carolina, invoking the Genius of liberty to accompany his (forts, had a rnojl powerful l fedl upon the honefl and un/ulpefling citizens of the dijlnfl of Ninety-Six. Harper was defi ed from a belief that he was attach ed to the republican interejls of the United States. His ccvfiUuentS have dfeovered their error, and given frong intimations that they could in Jutuie difpehfe with his fervices, and that at the next elec tion this fentiment would in all pr o bability be conftituticnally exprrfled , Such have been the cavfcs which have produced the lad word 0 J .. fpeech publifhed in Brown's Pfigf drlphta Gazette of the 20 th vh. an ,j in the papers in this city. In tf publication Harper takes a cur f or review of the adminifrative obf.ru lions of the federal government w * a defign to aid the re-eltßion 7f John Adams .
