The Vermont Patriot says. "a twaddler, if possible, is more dangerous to the liberties of our country, than a federalist. The latter is an open enemy, the former would stab you in the dark." The federal ticket in New-Hampshire, for Electors of President and Vice President is headed by a twaddler. But we apprehend no danger of his stabbing us in the dark. He is too "good-natured" to commit such an offence on our persons. He may possibly as formerly, attempt to stab the reputation of some of the principal supporters of the democratic party but in this, he will be unsuccessful, and his puny efforts will tend to sink him still lower in the public estimation.
