FROM THE UNITED PATRIOT.

Notwithstanding the artful dissimulation and hypocritical cant of democracy, an attentive observer will meet with frequent instances of palpable inconsistency, in the execution of her unhallowed designs to subvert the principles of rational liberty, and deceive the credulous and unsuspecting.--The crooked path of Jacobinism, leads through devious windings, to a labyrinth, impervious to the rays of genuine liberty; and if pursued will end in sure political ruin. But we have a warning voice frequently afforded us by the conduct of this party to deter us from following the footsteps of those who, blindly, or with a spirit of incorrigible wickedness, would plunge their country, into all the horrors of democratic despotism. Surely men cannot act from honest motives, surely they cannot be guided by a genuine love for their country, nor prompted by disinterested views for the honor, interest and happiness of the people, who are obliged to twist into all the contortions of a reptile, and wind through all the changes of a subtle sophistry to accomplish their ruinous projects, and yet preserve their popularity; to deceive the people with professions of unalterable attachment to the government, at the very moment they are giving it its death wound. Surely these men are not entitled to the confidence of the people, who practice to-day what yesterday they condemned; who pursue measures infinitely more violent than those which they denounced in their political adversaries; who to-day deny the existence of a law, infringing on the liberty of the press, when their success in gaining the ascendency of power, depends on an abuse of this liberty; but who to-morrow, when their purposes are accomplished, contend for the existence of the same law, that they may prevent just apprehension, and thereby secure the permanency of that authority, which would fall before the force of all prevailing truth.--Who now boldly censure a law, as tyrannical and unjust, (though eminently calculated to secure the liberty and guard against the licentiousness of the press) and in the next moment advocate principles that have a direct and sure tendency to subvert this liberty,:and with that, every invaluable privilege of freemen. Surely the sincerity of those men must be suspected, who with a solemn mockery, can affect to cherish the memory, and admire the virtues of him, who was his country's boast, at the same time they applauded the "useful labors" of a profligate wretch, who was his bitterest enemy, and who exerted, with malignant rancour, every energy of his mind, to blast the fairest fame and revile the purest virtue.--Surely the moral and religious character of that man must be suspected, who elects for his bosom friend, the arch apostle of infidelity, and entertains with the cordial welcome of hospitality, the lowest wretch of profligacy. Surely the liberties of our country cannot be entrusted to faithful public servants, when foreign renegadoes, fugitives from justice, and unprincipled adventurers, are charged with the servile task of supporting the authority, and advocating those measures, which native citizens are not permitted to gainsay. Surely the views of that administration cannot be honorable in themselves, nor advantageous to the country which receives their direction. not from considerations of what is really best, but of what is best calculated to secure popular applause. A system of short sighted policy that will sacrifice the best interest of our country to the illaudable purpose of retaining a little longer, an ill-gotten power. Surely those men cannot be esteemed the friends, and supporters of our constitution, who at one bold stroke would prostrate the strongest pillar of its support, and fritter away by piece meals those systems that give strength and stability to the government--surely the wisdom and integrity of that party must be questioned, who are involved in palpable inconsistencies, and unpardonable contradictions; whose conduct in the management of public affairs, forms one continued tissue of incongruities. What can be our estimation of a man or any set of men, who one moment applaud the conduct of an administration, and eulogize it as a bright constellation, who had wisely conducted the government, and left it in the full tide of successful experiment, and in the next breath, censure it as having been 'devoted to the views'of a particular sect, and as shutting the doors of honor and confidence against one half of the citizens of our country : .as having designs, dangerous to the liberties of the republic, and favorable to the establishment of a monarchy. What must be our estimation of the man, by whom, in the flattering language of adulation, we are now called brethren of one family--all federalists, all republicans,--and in the next moment, prompted by a spirit of political intolerance, as despotic as wicked, we are persecuted for opinion sake. and the bread of honest and faithful servants is taken from their mouths and given to the worthless and profligate of a favored sect. Surely there must be "something rotten in Denmark," when power is gained by the licentiousness of the Press, and preserved by a suppression of its liberty.
