FROM THE MERCURY.
POLITICAL ADVICE.

Citizens of America ! Reverence yourselves, abominate the improper influence of every foreign intruder, of whatever nation soever ; discountenance above all things the Antifederal faction ; do your duty as good citizens ; obey the laws, and oblige others to obey them ; let the Federal Constitution be your rallying point ; confide in the abilities, patriotism and firmness of the MAN OF THE PEOPLE, and he will conduct you safely through all difficulties.

WASHINGTON appears to have been marked out by Heaven as the defender of Columbia; every effort of his has been crowned with success. Let us be thankful then, that he still continues at the head of our government, especially at a period, when the world is so convulsed, give him your cordial support; and when from day to day we ask our bread, let us pray to God for the long continuance of a life, so valuable and useful.
