Monday next, the day ap
pointed by law for our genera'
cle&ions ; alfo to choole two

in the houfe of reprefentative;
0 f the United States
We are happy to inform our
rcadeis, that Mcfl. James [ones
and Benjamin Talliaferro, el
quires, are candidates.
The unlimited and well pla
ced confidence repofed in thole
two gentlemen, at fo critical a
period as November, 1798, by
every clafs of citizens, is doubt*
Ms fuperior to any encomium
on their virtue, patiiotifm, 01
abilities ; nor can we doubt that
the good citizens of this ft ate,
will manifefl a convincing proof
of their approbation, by re
cleftirg them cn the enfuing
occafion.
Republicans beware ! a cry
is railed again ft your ptelent ie
piHentafivc, col. Tallialcrro in
Congrefs—lt is believed to be
with an intent to run in lome
fpeculator. His colleague Vr.
Jones declared in this town that
his conduft deferved the appto
bation and applaufe of his coun
try, and Mr. Jones's fentiments
cannot be doubted.
Extraft of a letter Jr cm a gentleman
in Camden county , dated St. Ma

“ 1 have received Louifville
papers, they arc nuly pleafing

licanifm ft ill prevad.
" Capt Green in a very fhort
paflTage of feven days from Bol
ton, arrived on Thutfday lafl ;
there is a letter from a gentleman
in Boflon, to his friend in this
town, which fays, “ that the
politics! ftiip is on the otM
tack, and there is no doubt cf
Mr. Jeflhrfon's c!e£li* n " This
is truly pirating to thefew friends
of American liberty inthisplace.
where Britifh influence bad al
moft over run us."
Query —What was done with
the monies colitfted on the du
ties on (fills and liquors diflilled
hem the year 1792, in this ft ate ?
Horn an official ftatement it ap
pears that not one dollar was
paid into the treafury of the f Tni
fed States until the year 1798
as nothing p."id fellow citi
zens, or did it lay all that fp ce
in the fupervifors pockets; or
'vas it out at intereft at 10 per
Cent per month. Beware of
fupervifors and fupervifors de
puties, and the whole train of
office holders and office hunters.
Monday’s the day which decides
whether you (hall be freemen or
fiaves.

hut he that filches from me my good

riches him, and makes me p er in

felt the rfitfts of calumniating hack
biters when he wrote the above fen

am 9 the cjjljf'n of 7 emulation is
certainly the jnofi infamous of
wretches ; he cr a f es ammopttrs

if the daufe was to tjfeft me who

who may have purchafd Indian
goods. My Jr flow ci zens will fee.

you would more likely encounter one
