When a man ora government is fupported by men of fenfe and virtue, and by the body of honed, good citizens, it is full proof of the purity of both.

The farmers and other good citizens would leave it to the guillotine of the Democratic Society.By this Day*s MaihNEW-YORK, February 10.Lad evening arrived here from Monte Chrifli (Ilifpaniola) Capt.
