BOSTON, November 11.
Extract of a letter from a citizen of Pennsylvania, to his friend in Massachusetts.
"It will give pleasure to all friends to the peace and prosperity of our country to know that at the late election in Philadelphia, and in the state generally, good men were elected who are friends to the federal government, and true republicans."
"I do not feel apprehensive of danger from the evil designs of those who aim to deceive the people by their great but false professions of patriotism, for I think the revilers of our federal rulers now appear so much like the vile Jacobins in France, who have caused so much misery in that country—that our citizens view them as dangerous; this being the case, our good rulers will receive the firmest support of the people. The abusive and scandalous publications designed to injure the President, and many other patriots, whose eminent services are so well known to the people, will serve to strengthen the government and to increase the public abhorrence of such unprincipled men, whose only aim is to serve themselves."
"You will be convinced when Fauchet's letter shall be made public (if what we can learn about it is true) that its falling into the hands of our government is a circumstance that forms one of the brightest links in that chain of Providential interferences, to which the people of the United States are indebted for their existence, as a free, sovereign, independent Republic."
