IMPORTANT QUERIES:
Why did the federal members in Congress vote against the bill for non-importation from England?
Why do the merchants in Boston eulogise Mr. Randolph for opposing the measure they themselves petitioned for?
Why are the federal papers now as full of invective, satire and abuse against the measure, which the merchants petitioned for, as they have been on the delay of the same measure
Citizens, open your eyes, and behold the solution, in the federal wish to be again united to Great Britain.
Tis, to be sure amusing enough to read the panegyrics, which are bestowed by the federalists upon Mr. Randolph, and the censure which accompanies them against the administration.--what has been the incessant exclamation of federalism --"protect our commerce" --what is the ground taken by Mr. Randolph? "Let commerce protect itself," how then, have the federalists been converted to this extraordinary degree; are they serious or in jest?
