Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

I AM a countryman, and don't often see the Aurora or Universal Gazette, but happened to meet with one of them a few days past, in which I observed a protest of the minority against the patriotic address voted by the House of Representatives of this State to the President of the United States. This piece excited the attention of the people very much in my neighborhood ; some few thought it a pretty good thing, others approved of part, but the great majority of them considered it as false, scandalous and libellous, and have wondered that the authors of it have not been arraigned for sedition ; surely the moderation of government has been the only thing that screened their rascality from punishment. Perhaps it is right to let it pass quietly into oblivion where the author's, if I am rightly informed, are swiftly hastening-apropos, it is true there were eleven of the same minority in the House of Representatives base enough to vote for the acquittal of B. Brannon the Democratic judge, of Delaware county, although the charges exhibited against him by the Legislature of aiding to screen the man who robbed the Bank of Pennsylvania of so much treasure, were substantially true : this story is freely circulating in the country, and the people are looking for another protest; if they prepare one, tell them not to whine the President in it for not respecting men of their party, for he only said he should esteem such as were virtuous ; another protest on this business I fear will not appear on their part, but, let me tell you, the people talk very loud in a neighboring county about protesting at the next election against thieves, and all who take their parts.

TRIM.
