Kv - ery thing, ^hiL\i belongs to Federal- ism, c a^idered as a party distinction, parukts of duplicity. Its very name is an imposture. Its principles are not those which it avows. p W not tend to prove this by the best evi- dence, of which the subject will admit. The Great Searcher of Hearts alone can know it conclusively. In every human investigation, ive are, ofcotir.se, liable to error. It is an inckletic of our nature. Every man, who re-collects any thing of the political his!o;y,i,f our countf, re Hi embers the iinprc-t 'ku!- ed popularity of the vioifcs of- iVmrt roRCrjPINK (Wj!- CCBBtn) ;- mong the Federalists.
