Federalism stark naked!
"Every tree is known by its fruit."

We have never advanced a charge against the federal leaders, without some evidence to support it, and that most generally drawn from their own writings and language—

Sometimes they swagger most valiantly, and vent much venom, when allusion is made to their foreign attachments; but still pursue the same course of defamation against the American government, and justification or eulogy of that of Britain. Tim Pickering has been the bell-wether ever since he was indignantly kicked out of office by the people

Many extracts which we have given, from federal papers, to show their hostility to the principles of the revolution, and their determination to effect, if possible, a dissolution of the union, are still in the memory of our readers Here follows another, equally atrocious—and a more infamous libel on the immortal patriots of the revolution, never polluted an American press. Why do they call themselves "Disciples of Washington," and then denounce him and his associates in the council and in the field, as actuated by false patriotism? Were Warren, Mercer, Montgomery, and the long catalogue of illustrious heroes who sealed our independence with their blood, martyrs to false patriotism?

A clue is, however, thus afforded, to explain the apparent mystery, and palpable inconstancy, in the conduct of federal leaders.

With the name of Washington ever on their lips, they have constantly set at nought his counsels, by a conduct he most earnestly exhorted to avoid. But his "false patriotism" had gained for him such a complete empire in the heart of every true American, that it was impossible, by open and direct means. to subvert that system of government he so warmly approbated, and so successfully administered Hence the necessity of the stolen livery they have so long worn Hence their enmity to those who trod with him the path of glory, and shared with him the love and confidence of the American people.—And hence their denunciation of Langdon and Gerry. of Sullivan and Clinton: of Jefferson and Madison, and every one who cooperate with them in support of the republican administration of our government.

THE EXTRACT.
FROM THE BALANCE,
A highly federal paper in the State of New York.

"FALSE PATRIOTISM PRODUCED THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION— THE MAD CAPS WHO WERE MOST INSTRUMENTAL IN FOMENTING IT. CAME OFF SHABBY ENOUGH AT LAST. Some lost their lives—others their property—others their health and limbs, and are cripples and invalids to this day.— Had they wisely remained in their chimney corners. like myself and a few others that I could mention. they would have saved life, property and limbs : and would at this moment have found themselves in comfortable circumstances, instead of poverty, misery and rags.

But there are other links in the chain of circumstances tending to establish the fact, that some, at least, of those federalists proclaim their leaders, are the devoted partisans of England Not the least of these are the prompt republication in England of the virulent philippics of which our federal press are so abundantly productive.

It will be recollected that for some time past, "Wal's Review" (as it is called) of New-York, has been the standing toast. the subject of their highest eulogy—and puffing, and pushing, and puffing of all sorts and sizes, has been employed to force it into circulation. We have seen many extracts from it published in the federal newspapers, which clearly show that it was calculated for St. James market and though the patronage of the American people was sought, the interest of Britain was steadily pursued.

We are now informed that this "Review is regularly reprinted in London, By HIS MAJESTY'S PRINTERS, at six shillings sterling a number " It may be replied, that British Reviews are frequently reprinted in this country- therefore its publication there makes nothing against the purity of the principles of our American " Review"—So they are—but it is those of a literary or scientific nature, not the vilest receptacles of party politics; the common sewers of defamation against the government. Literature is a kind of common stock, in which all have an interest. whatever tends to advance it is a common benefaction.
