The New York Journal, And Daily Patriotic Register

It is very laughable, says a correspondent, to consider the use and abuse of the word federal: The anti-republicans, and their tools, have very modestly applied it to themselves, to delude the ignorant (who are too apt to be led away by trifles) and thus add a new proof to the common observation, that the best things may be perverted to the worst purposes: They have the impudence to brand the advocates of liberty anti-federal.—In this, as well as in almost every other respect, they tread in the footsteps of the partizans of the British during the late war, who styled themselves friends of government; and the foes of tyranny, rebels. At the present period, news-papers, clubs, streets, &c. are entitled federal—and the keeper of a livery stable in Boston, has lately advertised in the news-papers, that he has taken a federal stable.
