Itated that mr Hobby was “ furnilh-
j ing evidence in an extra fteet of mr
| Madifon’s watte of public money,

| this information, although it was
received from the molt refpe£table
fource, was incorrect; ihat the gen
tleman from whom we received it
was himfclf mifintormed. It af
fords us peculiar pleafure to correct
this mifiatement, becaufe we wifn
t» pafs nothing upon our readers but
what is fadtioned by the (trictelt ad
herence to redtitude ; and lealt of
all, would we do injultice to mr
Hobby, who is avowedly our polit
ical enemy.
While however, we make this
correction, we conceive it very im
material, as ii relates to the iadt, the
evidence alluded to, although not
furnilhed in an extra flieel, was
produced with great triumph in his
next paper. Does the eltablilhment

*' i word “ dif’afFe£ted” and for the dif- j
clofure of the defigns of the Britilh
miniltry, would have rather been
roufed, to a j aft relentment, for the
inlult offered them by England. The I
attachment cf a citizen of the United
Slates to our Government, (liould
not only he. pure but “ unfufpedled."
In what light can England confider
the federal party ?—As traitors to
their Country. And will honorable
men—thofe who boaft of being the j
followers of Wafliington, bear this'
foul ftigma in fiience ? when they
with fuch a lively fenfibility refent
the term “ difaffected” ufed in the
Prefident’s meffage, as applicable to
| thofe with whom Henry intrigued
i to overturn our Government.—
j Such “ fluttering” is indeed indica-
j tive of a wound, I would here invite
i reflection for a moment—If only
one honelt thought is indulged, the
refuit mult be a confirmation of the
fenteitce, univerfally pronounced a-
gainlt traitors :—Nay the federalills
ihemfjlves brand Henry wirh it—
not woithy of confidence—and
whole folemn alfeverations are not
to be believed—and wilt the federal
party, by their attachment to Eng
land j and by vindicating her in
the outrages which (he has heaped
on our Country, lubjecr themfeives
to the fame opprobrious epithets
which they belTow on Henry ? Even
Eng.and can have no confidence in
a traitor to his country—the corrupt
miniltry have no ulc lor fuch, only
that though we nuy differ about
ways and means, yet the grand ob
je£t will Hill be kept in view, and
cement that union which will enfure
fuccefs'to the efforts of our arms.
To fuch (and fuch there are) who
blindly attached to the Britifh fyf-
tem, prefer tfie humiliating depen.
dence of commercial tyranny, to the
inellimable privileges of freemen ;
let fuch beware, that while the
ftiuggle for independence was an
experiment ; while the fuccefs of
American arms was yet doubtful ;
while fome who had fwom allegi
ance to the King, confidered ihe
llruggle for independence an a£t of
rebellion ; that then, toryifm had
