For this same Jacobin high flyer,

Is such a Satan of a liar,

from the eyes of the people the intermeddling of our rulers in the politics of the state, this new comer was appointed Printer of the Laws of the United States. But the office, it is understood, was erected for the man, and for the occasion; for the Laws were printed before in Portsmouth, and one Printer to a State is as much as has been heretofore deemed necessary, especially when we consider that Newhampshire is a small state.

"A needy tool for our great men,was, however,wanted, and must be provided for, and in such a way as to hide or seem to hide the business-for in truth, saving appearances was all that was regarded.

"Now we beg to know, how much is allowed to the Observatory for printing the Laws of the United States. Enough, we believe, to support a Jacobin press. If we are right in this conjecture, then the people's money is taken by the friends of reform and economy, and squandered on a worthless tool of office, a profligate minion, in reward for deceiving and inflaming the people of Newhampshire. We hope the accounts of the Department of State for publishing the Laws, will be scrutinized, and though the Federal members cannot hinder the work of corruption, they may be able publicly to expose it. Instead of the press being free to combat error, as a great man chooses to say, we make

Even when the truth would do as well:

no doubt the Jacobin press is supported by the people's money, to deceive them. It is a servile, base, wicked tool of a Jacobin faction. It is a bell that never ceased ringing for fire, when there was none; and now the Brissotines and Robespierrists are in power, and have set the country and constitution in a blaze, at the four corners, the bell is muffled.

"No sooner did this man come into Newhampshire, than he began to know more than any body else about the affairs of the state; and very busily spread jealousies and suspicions about the honesty and correctness of the State Treasurer's accounts. In this he followed the example of the Committee of Calumnies in Congress, who reported against WOOLCOTT, PICKERING and McHENRY, a number of charges, that even a Democratic majority in Congress did not dare to support. In like manner there was a Democratic majority in the Newhampshire legislature ; but they, more candid than the Nicholsons and Randolps, did examine the charges and found them false.

"The same Observatory man has stated in his paper, that the votes for Governor Gilman were a minority. In this he has been solidly confuted; still, however, a lie well stood to, he thinks, as good as the truth, and he stands to it. He stands to it, that Mr. Jefferson

is chaste-no poacher in Mr. Walker's family-is ä brave man-never hid from Tarlton-never shrunk from his post when the war grew hot-is a good christian-as good as Condorcet or Pain-and breaks out into the most outrageous exclamations against the Federal slanderers, who can dare to publish that such a Joseph for virtue, such a Joseph Surface for talking about it-such a Solomon in council-such a Sampson in combat-who so abhors to shed blood, and so delights to shed ink-such an Old Testament saint, as his Notes on Virginia attest, can be any thing less than an American Bonaparté, a Dieu donné--heaven sent to be our Consul for life, and our Emperor by inheritance —with remainder over to Mr. Eppes and his issue.

A good salary for printing the laws, requires, that tough stories by Col: Walker, or Callender, or any body else, should be resolutely brow beaten. A thou sand dollars a year will greatly assist a man to stand strong in his faith. This reverend Vicar of Bray will not believe, nor allow the people of Newhampshire to believe a word to the prejudice of his patron, as long as he holds his office.

"The post riders make their contracts with the PostMaster General, and it is easy to see that Jacobin zea. iots will be preferred. See then how completely the

press is made subject to the new administration; how the Observatory can be almost forced upon readers, and how the Museum can be obstructed. The French is not more subject to his Imperial Majesty, the Citizen Consul, than the Jacobin press to Mr. Jefferson.

"We are told that for weeks before the election in this state, the Federal papers did not circulate in some parts of the District of Maine. Every one can conjecture why it happened, though no one can precisely unravel the circumstances, and tell how.

"Is it the opinion of the Administration, that the people of Newhampshire are more easily deluded than those of Connecticut? This Observatory man was known in Connecticut, and there he had no influence. Was it necessary to send him away from home, to enable him to do mischief; or is Newhampshire thought to be stupid enough to give success to a baffled and disgraced Connecticut Jacobin? For our parts, we believe better things of the citizens of Newhampshire; and as the attempt to influence them is barefaced, and truly insulting to their independence, they will, we trust, evince at the next election, that they are as Federal as Connecticut."

ly, 1804. What made the thing the more ridiculous, and would have silenced him for ever, had he not been a Democrat, and ergo, a friend to the people, was, the circumstance of there being a number of respectable persons in the neighbourhood, who were witnesses to his falsehoods on that occasion.

This man, with matchless effrontery, has rapeatedly affirmed in his lying vehicle, in substance, that a purer and more spotless character than that of Mr. Jefferson never was enjoyed by any mere man; and even goes so far in his blasphemous impudence, as to compare this man, with "twenty Gods,or No God," with our Saviour!!!
