Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

I am happy in being enabled to assert, on information of the first authority, from various parts of the State, that the cause of order and good government daily gains proselytes—that the insidious calumnies against the character of Mr. Ross, have reverted upon their authors; and that the designs of those base men, who invented and circulated them, and who have sought, under the auspices of Mr. M'Kean, to excite the whole commonwealth to a state of ferment and madness, begin to be viewed every where in their proper and horrid light.

The revolutionary bubble having completely burst in France, and the folly of attempting to found a government under any name or form, upon the wild and extravagant principles inculcated by her miserable politicians, and their apes in this country, having become completely apparent, the task of Mr. M'Kean's advocates is now a desperate labor—and they no longer find a facility in persuading men to abandon the principles of a government under which they have at least enjoyed immunity from rapine and bloodshed, for those which in experiment have never failed to produce those scourges to mankind.

The election of Mr. Ross, may therefore be reasonably considered as assured: under such favoring auspices, Pennsylvania shall forthwith assume her proper rank in the Union, from which, the intrigues of wretches alien to her blood, have for ten long years debarred her. The diligent hand of the agriculturist shall again make rich—commerce, and with it enterprize, shall once more revive—her cities shall again smile with prosperity, and the busy hum of industry every where be heard. All hearts, replete with happiness and joy, shall then with ardent zeal cling to those principles whereby their happiness has been procured to them, and while they thus lay hold on everlasting life, shall banish from their minds the sorcerers who brewed the midnight spells which so long held in chains the best energies of their natures. Procul, o! procul, este profani!
