We met a few days ago, a gentleman who is in the habit of using a sort of mixture to make his red hair black, whose appearance reminded us strongly of the present attempt of the Federalists at wearing the no-party cloak. He had forgotten the injunction to "apply frequently," and the result was that his whiskers were about two-thirds black and one-third red. So will it be with the Federalists. As soon as they get into power, we shall see how rapidly they will forget their no-party promises, and give full play to their natural and original inclinations!
