WALPOLE, (N. H.) Oct. 20

The lovers of good government in New-Hampshire, are pleased that the insurgents of Boston and Portsmouth are again at Peace. If we should credit the insinuations of some of the party papers of the union, the inevitable conclusion would be, that the whole system of our government is wrong, and that the most lawless innovation is right. But who are those who exclaim "to your tents, O Israel" and labour incessantly to pluck down, what the master builders, have erected? If from what is termed the democratic faction we deduct all the rope-makers, which Austin keeps in pay—the mercenary scribblers of Bache and Adams—bankrupt shop-keepers, who wish to navigate privateers against the naval interest of England—disappointed candidates or Congress—Debtors to Great Britain, who wish that war may foreclose the creditor—And lastly, desperadoes of all descriptions, Jews and Gentiles, "Cretes and Arabians," who have nothing to lose hope to gain by prostrating property and the laws; if we deduct this enumeration, a dreary nought remains. Had wit or wisdom been with our faction in the course of a controversy, eagerly started, and hotly urged some semblance of truth and reason, in their theories would appear But the declaimers against our system have not, like Milton's Devil, made the "worse appear the better cause:" They have substituted pertness for wit, and assertion for argument: Valerius scolds the President in pretty periods, such as the youngest collegians turn; and Ben Austin weaves a slimy net of the frailest materials, throws it into "the great deep" of Politics, and then wonders, that he should take nothing tho' he toiled all night.
