"Federalism," Unmasked.
Let those who still adhere to the federalists, and think their objects honorable, read the following paragraph from a London paper.
"From our correspondents in America, we learn that there are a large portion of the citizens of the United States who would willingly put themselves again under the protection of the British crown: the federalists as they call themselves, openly avow their predilections for the British system of politics: the rabble multitude it is expected will attain to power for a time, but the friends of England are rich in resources."
