Alexandria Advertiser And Commercial Intelligencer

Great is truth and it will prevail, we have been often told by the democrats; they will find it so, to their cost. Political error had not prevailed if federal men had exerted a fifth part of that influence to prevent, which was exerted by the democrats to increase its circulation.

Times are now in some degree changed. Men begin to see the gulph into which democracy is driving us, and bestir themselves to shun it: imminent as the danger is, 'tis not too late to avoid it. The press has been the cause of the evils with which we are surrounded: the press must repel these evils.

This instrument of disseminating truth and error, political purity and political corruption, is now about to become highly useful to federalism. Democracy dies, when the people at large have a full and fair hearing of both parties; but in the greater part of the country, one voice only has been heard, that of Jacobinism; the late increase of circulation given to republican papers begins to open the other eye, and men no longer look with the left eye alone: the consequence begins to be felt, and in the voice of the people will soon be strongly expressed.

The great change that has taken place in Massachusetts, and that is fast taking place throughout the U. States generally, must be attributed to the greater exertions made to disseminate political truth and facts. The republican papers of Boston, the Centinel, Palladium and Boston Gazette, have, during the past year, been uncommonly vigilant in discerning and industrious in disseminating a knowledge of the movements and principles of the present administration. The encouragement given the Palladium in particular, has had an efficient beneficial consequence.

We shall see the same effect of patronizing the New-York Evening Post, and of the industry and steady principles of the other federal papers in that city and state.

Federal men see the necessity of exertion, see the utility of the press, and the fatal consequences of crying peace when there is no peace. Jacobin lies must not go unanswered; Jacobin principles, not combated, may by the thoughtless, be on that account considered correct.
