Dearborn, & his friends !

I have for some time considered the Kennebeck printer as a kind of weathercock; but I am happy to find in his last paper, the two following articles, tho I still doubt his sincerity :]

Augusta, November 17

In Winslow, a Correspondent informs, the votes were almost unanimously in favor of Gen. Dearborn for Federal Representative, he having 55 out of 59. By the 'infamous contrivance of a little nest of Jacobins, the meeting was set aside, and the electors have lost a most invaluable privilege. -Shame upon you, Jacobins!

So firmly fixed and so generally understood is the real Jacobin throughout the United States, that he who runs may read. To call a Federalist, Jacobin, is as absurd as to call white, black. It is therefore in vain for a ci devant typographer to endeavour to wipe away the mark of the beast by imposing on the public, in asserting that the Federalists of Winslow a little nest of Jacobins; and that they prevented a town meeting in Winslow.; and that Gen. Dearborn would have had all the votes.

The fact is, when the Federalists found the meeting was illegal, they determined not to carry forward their votes, nor would they take any active part whatever. The Jacobins were very assiduous in deceiving the respectable yeomanry by saying, Gen. Dearborn had altered his opinion, & that he was now for opposing the French.

It is to be lamented that there still remains in Winslow a little nest of real Jacobins, and they leave no stone unturned to deceive the good citizens of that town, by railing at the American government, and reviling a Washington and an Adams : But it may be relied on, that there is a large majority in Winslow who are determined against prostituting our own government to the will of France, notwithstanding the insinuations of this disciple of Talleyrand, and advocate of French Sedition Poles.
