■...■.1 ..000*—
From the ( Pet srjbnrg) Repub
lican.
The federal party affe&ed to
be surprised at the manly and
digr. fied departmet of the rc
puolicans in the legislature of
Massachusetts, in the recent con
ceited eledtion for governor of
that state. It is the peculiar
property of base and corrupt
minds to fufpedt the purity and
inregnty of every other benign
lociety. We need not travel
very far back m the hiitory of
of our own times, to difeover a
clue to this wonder and amaze
ment manifefted in the federal
tribe. Adting on principles the
molt ungenerous and tinhuman
ly, in 1 300 we behtld this party
with a zeal and perfeveiance,
which would have rtfiedled cre
dit on a good cause, obstinately
fupporcing Mr. Burr as a pre
ftdent of the LJniied States, in
opposition to that unequivocal
expreftion of public will, which
pronounced Thomas Jefferfon,
to be tbs man of the people. In
this ever memorable triumph
of truth and realon, over the m
fiduous wiles &; diabulical mach
inations of fadlion, was laid the
foundation of chat suspicion and
distrust, which have ft nee char
aderifed the federalifts.—Guilty
of a breach of every rule tend
ing to support political honesty,
we have iincc seen these men
invariably fufpedling the purity
of th? intentions of their oppo-
nents ar.d endeavoiii.g thwart
every measure recommended for
the public good.
And- whence has originated
this suspicion, a-: criminal as it is
ill beral ? in vain we solicit, in
ain we brg them to assign rca
fons for their conduct. l o
what then are we to attribute
t .cir prrverfen; F ? Can we for
arnomentlupp .fr iheir objt£l
•s the public happwefs and pros
perity ?We cannot. — The max
im lad and wn 11 the preceding
paragraph, affords the only de
tin a>n of tneir conduct, of
which it is tuScepnble.
Federal opposition to the will
ot the people, has been evinced
on a m re recent occafi >n, at
tended wiih circurnffances the
m"ft odious and debafmg. We
allude to their conduct in the le
g Ilature of M ffichul’ctrs, when,
m order to luve a lieutenant
governor of their own kidney
they disfrai.chifed bIXIY-
T vVO towns, which huo given
-t pubfican majorities, thusafor
ing another evidence of their
pp fition to the public will,
and their total dif/egard of the
nleans by wmch they accom
rddhcd iheir ends.
Let us now enquire how
the republicans acTed, in their
various relations with the federal
party. Under the present ad
ministration, we behold hun
dreds of federal IE enibving the
1 ruics of office, while they are
active in traducing the very
men, to whom they are partly
; i-ieb ed for their daily bread
Federal Its have even been ap
pointed to office by Mr ieffer
lon, because he conceived them
capable ofdifchaiging the duties
attached to their appointment,
and at the fame time faithful to
the constitution.
To extend the fubjcfl a little
luther, mark the republicans
in the preient leg flacure of
Massachusetts.—What a farire
on federal uprigbtnefs! Well
may the faction be confounded
at this display of magnanimity.
Vv hen it was afeertained that
Mr. Strong was the people’s
choice, the republicans, taking
advantage of their vail maj-ritv,
disfranchifed no to vns, robbed
the people of no votes, ro secure
the eledion of their favciitc
candidate ; but with a unanimity,
which will re ft-<ff immortal hon
or on thr cause, proclaimed Ca
leb Strong governor of the state
of Massachusetts. Federlifts,
re fiefl: on these things—hum
blc yourselves in fackdoth and
allies —andfin no more.
