Demagogues make liberty the pretext of revolution and when government is prostrated, they destroy. ed the freedom they pretended to pursue.

TACITUS.

THIS is a true defcription of men of felfish and unprincipled minds, who affume every mark of hypocrify, which may gain admittance to power and honer. They bellow and prate of the people and their rights, and in the folemn mockery of patriotifm pursue their fchemes of ambition. People of honeft minds are deluded by the ardor of their profeffions, and from their own integrity fall victims to deceit and knavery.

In the change of our adminiftration, and the elevation of our Southern ariftocracy we had of this truth a fad exemplifi. cation. In the commencement of the federal government they began to declare their jealoufy. They were prying, fcrutinizing and critical on all its measures. They talked much and forever of their zeal, boafted of their paft exertions, and lavished promifes like lords. A cool and calm people in New-England, who fpeak as they think and act as they feel, were ready to give full faith to this fair difplay of patriotifm. We had not learnt that republics like ours were to be fcenes of base ambition, nor had we learnt from experi. ence the pride of thofe who pretended to be democrats. We did not know all the arts of afpiring, or how much the heat of the

They remer beredthat they had ever enjoyed
the confidence, and had refolved nobly to
defend the hard earned fame of Washing-
ton. But the bold adventurers, who had
no character to lofe, but every thing to gain,
trufted to acquire credit from obftinacy in
falfhood and repetition of abufe.-How ma-
ny liftened to the tale, who now weep
for
their deception! how many forgot the vir
tues and labours of our belt patriots, when
they were forever excited to fufpicion.--
Of all this evil Virginia was the hot-bed.
There were projected and ripened schemes
to injure and to feduce; there were circu-
lated the falfhoods of a party, who had not
fo much confidence in their own virtues as
to expect honor from their exercise.
They began the infamous work, and dif-
perfed their organs every where.-The ef-
tect was aftonishing-we were made to be-
lieve every thing, and the exaggerations of
our own fears hurried us to madnefs.

hands of demagogues, who made the

Since they have acquired power, in what inftance have they exhibited to you the influence of one Republican principle. Their firft a&t, and that on which they moft relied for glory and reputation, was the repeal of the excife-We have been fo ftartled at the found of this word, that few have felt or thought coolly on the fubject. It was a duty which affected the poor and the virtuous not at all; the people of fmall fortunes but little. No: it was your degraded and debafed tiplers, and the luxurious lordlings who chiefly paid it. But to the whisky drinkers of the South, it was the price, the promised price of their fupport. To the Southern aristocrat it was a relief. His wheels could roll unincumbered by too much financial regulations, and his loaf fugar would be fweeter

they are commanded as a mob, and when
their tyrants have gained their points, they
M
leave them in general to their burdens.
Many of our citizens and rulers thought
this measure politic. There is fomething
charming in the repeal of a tax. But we
fhould not be deceived by the found of a
thing. Its defects are to decide its char-
acter. And let me afk whether this repeal
eafed any man's burdens? No; the
rich who have any principle of patriotifm
and add generofity to wealth, could not
feel it they had no fuch grovelling mean-
nefs as to complain. This repeal, there.
fore, without relieving them, tended to
continue the burdens of our national debt,
It left the poor and induftrious man to
fupport the honor and credit of his coun
try, by paying taxes on his few and hard
earned comforts. The Nabob rolled on
in unavailing pomp, while the labourer
was left the pack horfe in the train. When
the South freed herself from the petty
burdens the bore, the carefully threw the
load on the defpiled clowns the thought
better fit to bear them. The revenue is
paid and collected in the North. Impos
therefore may double till the burden is in
tolerable. We may be taxed till we fink,
for we are as patient and laborious as a
thill horfe. Could we labour without
contempt, it might be borne; but the cup
of wormwood must be mixed with gall.
Yet a fingle accident muft increase the e-
vil. Thefe men, who took taxes off
themselves because they were fo econom-
ical and humble, they wanted no money;
thefe men, who boafted of their millions
in their coffers, loft not a ship, and are
crying out for duties, and beg and bor
row. To obtain money, the Northern
States are again called upon. We muft
bear every weight. The continuance of
the excife which was confined chiefly to
our Nabobs, would have placed three mil
lions in our own treasury. But this was not
economical, and the prudence of the nation
is to be exhibited in exhaufting us.

Is there in all this any national spirit, which confiders the good of the whole dependent on the happiness and profper

ity of the parts? Or is it proof of a felfifh and partial fpirit, looking to its immediate interest at the expence of the facrifice of the reft? Is there any thing in this of the fpirit of true republicanism, which incorporates man with fociety and renders. him fenfible only of general concerns and impreffions? Is it confiftent with that honorable equality which prevails in friendfhip, and is as ready to fhare evil as to communicate good? No, it is on the contrary full proof that the magiftrate is a demagogue, and that having power, he is refolved to employ it for his own comfort. It is full proof that no scheme of general utility is now in contemplation, but a mere regard to the dignity and eafe of Vir. ginia, and the other ftates whom she would bribe into her measures before the fubjugates them to her power. New-England is the only obftacle to her progrefs. We mft unite for fafety, or we may prophefy our fate. Ranked by Virginia as a fit people for hewers of wood and drawers of wa ter, we fhall foon find the driver at our back, and our native land become a plantation, with her hardy fons for flaves. A regard to our country makes us obey her laws, but when our rulers forget juftice, it is our duty boldly to canvals their conduct and affert our rights. Deceived for once, we truft no more.

Editor's Closet.

The Bee has paid the citizens of Columbia County a very handfome compli ment. He fays, "a great portion of them, from their ignorance of the English language, cannot diftinguifh one ticket from another written in that tongue." The deteft able calumniator further fays, "This obfervation particularly applies to the inhabitants of the towns on the manor of Livingston." Every person who is not as great a dunce as Charles Holt, will know to how much credit this affertion is entitled. We have noticed it for the purpose of mentioning one of the many tricks of the prefent adminiftration :-The town of Livingston was formerly pretty large, and gave a refpectable federal majority. Our democratic rulers, therefore,

contrived a plan to divide the town-in hopes thereby to excite jealousy and rivatfhip, and thus gain a part of the whole. For this purpose the town was carved into three parts, and named Livington, Gallatin and Granger.-But this measure had an effect directly contrary from what was intended; and the projectors of the scheme were ferved precifely like the old woman who broke her looking-glafs to pieces, becaufe fhe did not appear to good advantage in it. Inftead of feeing one face in the glafs, fhe found them multiplied to an hundred.

The democratic taction in Pennsylvania, is crumbling to atoms. The house is divided against itfelf, and cannot stand. Capt. Straddlepole, the Irish Dictator and Jubilee maker, has taken command of the rabble, and has iffued his proclamation, denouncing Gov. M-Kean and his adherents as third party men. The fame work of destruction is going on there, that has been fo dexterously purfued by Captain Daggerman & Co. in this flute; and there is but little doubt that Gov. M Kean will meet the fate of Col. Burr. Their popularity with the democratic party, has been equal—they must therefore, expect to encounter equal hatred and malice, from the fame giddy fa&tion. At the late teftival, in Philadelphia, the Republican Greens, commanded by Capt. Straddlepole, toafted Gov. Clinton, but FORGOT to toaft Gov. M-Kean. The Tammany Society toafled

66

William Duane-the man who flood forward the champion of our rights at the rifk of his life ;" but allo FORGOT to toast Gov. M Kean.-The friends of the old Governor have taken up the business with confiderable fpirit. His enemies retort with vulgarity and infolence. The Dictator has ordered Ward Meetings in Philadelphia; and thus the bufinefs refts for the present.

Capt. Holt fays, the federalifts are fo prejudiced again ft Mr. Jefferfon, that they will admit no benefit to accrue under his adminiftration. "Were the earth to prɔduce twice her usual bounties this feafon," he thinks the federalifts would not thank Mr. Jefferfon for it!

A fimple African, the other day declared his belief that the star which was feen

on the 12th of May, appeared on account of the Louifiana feftival. Capt. Holt, we obferve, has adopted the fame opinion. He fays the planet Venus appeared a fhort diftance from the new moon, as diftin&tly as the moon herself, &c.

So it would have done At the same season, if your mother's cat Had kitten'd, tho' Louis'ana bad ne'er been bought. And yet Holt afcribes the "uncommon appearance" to the progrefs of democracy.

DUANE'S JUBILEE,

(OLD STYLE.)

On Monday fe'nnight, the people of colour celebrated the glorious acquifition of Louisiana (old ftyle) vulgarly called Pinkster. We have not been informed in what manner the day was ushered in, nor do we know how it was ushered out. We heard nothing about the feftival, nor who was placedat the head of the table; and we wait for capt. Stargazer to give us the toasts, and to tell us whether they were drank,

intermingled with fongs and great guns." But there were many proceffions; and we hear that wind-mill-hill was formed; and that there were falutes at noon (of night)-and that not only one Venus, but hundreds of them appeared to fmile on the progrefs of democracy.

There is not a more canting, hypocritical fcribbler, in the whole band of democratic editors, than Stanley Grifwold, late a preacher of the gofpel is Connecticut, now a dabbler in politics in New-Hampfhire. In one of his late papers, we obferve the following fentence :

"Are you uneafy because the prefs is "free and speech is free, and you may fpeak, write, print, and believe what you please ?"

The following toaft was drank at Danbury, on the 12th inft. We select it as the best we have feen, amongst all that were given on that day :

ning a third of ale, beer, and two-

ble to go to three casks, and turn three
ks for a pint of liquor. To avoid this
