Gazette Of The United States And Daily Evening Advertiser

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30

Says a Correspondent.

The self-created societies are accused of fomenting a spirit of jealousy and accusation against the constituted authorities.— They publish a manifesto to clear themselves from the charge, breathing the very spirit they are accused of fomenting. If any doubt had remained, their defence would have banished it. It is recommended to them to be quiet, to avoid all impertinent things in any defence of themselves, to let the public forget the licentiousness of their resolutions, and not to provoke the contempt and detestation in which their conspirators are held. Calm and prosperous times do not favor them. Let them lie in wait till trouble and confusion threaten our affairs. Then they will be brisk and active. Then they will ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm.

The United States and France are struggling with the self-created societies. If both countries should defend themselves from these vipers, Republican Liberty will stand the more secure for the conflict.

A Correspondent enquires whether there was one member of the Democratic Clubs in the army which quelled the insurrection in the Western Counties, who went in the ranks as a private?—Our correspondent has been assured from an authentic source, that they all had offices, such as paymasters, quarter masters-general, brigade majors, aids-de-camp, quarter masters, with their deputies—in short, that the whole staff of the Pennsylvania line, was composed of members of the democratic clubs, or their supporters.— This our Correspondent supposes, will explain the assertion in the Doctor's Address, signed Henry Kammerer, when he says— "The Democratic Society of Pennsylvania could have made a quorum in the field."

As the loaves and fishes were not thought of by the Democrats, their disinterested patriotism shall never be forgotten.

The country people have no clubs to carry points, and they universally detest them. They are very right in their views and conduct. For what do such cabals effect? Plainly this, by intrigue and management in the cities to lead the country people by the nose. The Clubs have every where originated in electioneering intrigues—or if there is any exception as to their origin, there is none as to their use. For all have been used for that end. Such institutions however poison the fountain head of a Republican Government and as long as they continue, our elections will be more and more turbulent and corrupt. Let Clubs be banished and freedom of suffrage restored.

The worst men have the worst means, against a government which for freedom in its theory & purity in its administration, is allowed to have no rival. Yet such men, modestly call themselves The Republicans, as if they were the only Republicans, and yet, they only, oppose the laws, and slander the magistrates. Such inconsistency, and such impudence may pass for Patriotism in the regions of ignorance & credulity—and it is in such benighted parts of the United States, that they have gained influence and credit with the people. In the most enlightened parts and with the most virtuous men, the national constitution and Government have never ceased to be respected and beloved, and never more than at this moment, when the clubs are publishing their ridiculous manifestoes.
