therefore the abfolute certainty

for the death, and veneration
forthememory of gen. Wafhing

Frederick of Pruffia, fo empha

epithet was due to him who
drew his Iword to avenge his
country’s wiongs, and who
fheathed ii to lecure her inde

to conquer in war, by his bra*

competent by his wifdom and
moderation to prefide in peace.

Tor the Loui/vill: Gazette,
Mr. Day,
OBSERVING in your M
paper that the Union Society,
are tomect the entiling Saturday,
I hope true patriotifm will ani
mate every member of that foci
ety—for never was there a more
feiious call for the exertion of
republicans—never was there a
more intereßing aera, in the
American hilloiy than the pre
rent ; for fhould the ariftocrats,
the Britifh agents, and old tories,
fucceed in re-eleBing the man
of their choice, the liberties of
this vafl empire it is to be fear
ed. will be fwallowcd up ; but
if the republicans unite, perfe
vere and fucceed in getting Mr.
fefferfon in the prefidential
ch air ; happy, thrice happy,
will it be for the liberty, prof
perity and happinels of Ame
rica. A Jefierfinite.
For the Loui/v'ile Gazette,
Oh, mod fortunate ! mofl
happy, and much to be envied
Louifville ! how fuperlatively
happy are thy fons—how fur
fupenor is their fituation, when
contrafled with the inhabitants
of Fez, 7 unis or Morocco,
The wifdom of thy rulers, their
innate goodnefs; thofe paragons
of virtue, have taken fo much
pains to prevent thy inhabitants
from tifldng their necks upon
unruly horfes—who have taken
fuch care of their immortal fouls
as to affume the chara£ler of
their ghoflly fathers, -nd prevent
them from following hedidlites
of their own bhnd realon—
have contrived fuch an ingenious
method to lighten the heavy
purles of thofe who have not
learned to behave polite and
tra&able, when in awful
prefencc. Impious wretches,
have I heard, that dared to mur
mur at the power of thofe vene
rable and immaculate rulers.
Monßers of ingratitude ! were
you to travel to Madrid, or
Lifbon, and ft e how nearly they

you would blulb obedience.
Happy town, not only art thou
blefied with holy inquifitors,
but with a learned triumvirate —

found erudition has taught them
to know that three men is one
