in the County of Chittendon, in the state
of Vermont—and the following are pub-
lished in the constitution of the same, as
some of the grounds and reasons for its
institution—viz.
1st. The open declaration in favor of G.
Britain, not only our former but present bit-
ter enemy, and the undue influence, which it
is said, he has acquired as well in our legisla-
tive councils, as with some of the first officers
in our general Government.
2d. The unmerited abuse with which the
public papers have so often teemed against
the Minister of our only ally: a nation who
is gloriously, zealously, uniformly, and per-
severingly beyond example, wading through
oceans of blood, for the mere purpose of ob-
taining permission to establish a government
for herself, upon the same plain, simple and
immutable principles of truth, on which the
whole system of ours is founded.
3d. The almost total inattention (except
in the Executive) which has been paid to the
recovery of the posts agreed to be surrender-
ed by the treaty of 1783 on which surrender,
not only the peace and prosperity of the na-
tion in general, but even the very existence of
this country may in some measure depend.
4th. The doors of the Federal Senate be-
ing always shut, in contradiction, as we con-
ceive, to the true principles of liberty, as well
as to the repeated wishes of a number of the
states signified publicly by their respective
legislatures.
5th, The construction of the Federal
Judges on the suability of states; thereby
effectually extinguishing their sovereignty,
whilst the United States are placed under
no such restriction.
6th, The alarming circumstance of
eleven members of the Federal Senate hav-
ing voted in the negative on a motion for
laying before that body, the correspon-
dence between our Ambassador at the Re-
public of France; with the Minister of
that, nation, for foreign affairs, as well as
his correspondence with our Executive,
and which motion was carried by two only.

A Democratic Society has lately been formed in the County of Chittendon, in the state of Vermont—and the following are published in the constitution of the same, as some of the grounds and reasons for its institution—viz. 1st. The open declaration in favor of G. Britain, not only our former but present bitter enemy, and the undue influence, which it is said, he has acquired as well in our legislative councils, as with some of the first officers in our general Government. 2d. The unmerited abuse with which the public papers have so often teemed against the Minister of our only ally: a nation who is gloriously, zealously, uniformly, and perseveringly beyond example, wading through oceans of blood, for the mere purpose of obtaining permission to establish a government for herself, upon the same plain, simple and immutable principles of truth, on which the whole system of ours is founded. 3d. The almost total inattention (except in the Executive) which has been paid to the recovery of the posts agreed to be surrendered by the treaty of 1783 on which surrender, not only the peace and prosperity of the nation in general, but even the very existence of this country may in some measure depend. 4th. The doors of the Federal Senate being always shut, in contradiction, as we conceive, to the true principles of liberty, as well as to the repeated wishes of a number of the states signified publicly by their respective legislatures. 5th, The construction of the Federal Judges on the suability of states; thereby effectually extinguishing their sovereignty, whilst the United States are placed under no such restriction. 6th, The alarming circumstance of eleven members of the Federal Senate having voted in the negative on a motion for laying before that body, the correspondence between our Ambassador at the Republic of France; with the Minister of that, nation, for foreign affairs, as well as his correspondence with our Executive, and which motion was carried by two only.
