Mr. Price, . ,
I read fomc time ago in your pajicr, a publication
taken (r«m the Dumfries Gazette, announcing ,
: of Charles Simms and Daniel iCarrol Bkent,
)N- as candidates at the approaching-election ,
ft>f an elector of a president and vicc-prefident
of the United States, for the diftriA -of Ptince {
, William, StaiFotd and Fairfax. The writer very
' properly'obfervei, that both those •gentlemen are (
highly refpcdtabltf, arid I belicrc nojuft exception (
ean be taken to the private charadier of euher. It
' re " may, therefore, be thought immaterial 011 whom _
"ant t ' )e choice of t"hediltrift mr.v fall. This, however,
' it far from being the cafe arid the public-gocd is t
ince
deeply mtereftedTn the event. d
•If there had heretofore been any 3nubt on the
:on, fubjeft, the proceedings of the last feflio'n of cob- (
grefs have demonftiatcd to all America and to all i
ne '" Europe, thfit there are two parties unfoitun^tel)'
existing tn the United States, totally oppoiire in ( |
their political opinions ; in a few words, they may ,
be defined to be the " Friends" -and the " Enemies" 2
; t p. of the govern men t uniler which \v« live with such J
:nce unequalled comfort andprofptiity. The friends of
• of the government are composed of those who origi-
nally supported the cohftitution, and of those who,
having in the beginning eppofed it, have, from ex- |
-in perienctng the happy effects of its operation, become
do- its advocates. Among the enemies of the govern-
,nf - meat, very few will be found who did wot oppose it
e at the time of its ratification. These thought the ~
aKy K ovirnmcnt 'wrong in its principles, and incapable
Live of promoting the welfare of the people; and, not-
To- with Handing the unexampled bkflings we have en
'd», joyed, and still enjoy, -under its admiuiftration, (the O
itc ' very reverse of all the woes they had predi<3ed} blind.
to the public felicity, they continue to interpefe all
(ted their power to check its operations, and fmftrate
rn- the means which have raised us from our degrada-
"tion and mifeiy, prefervei? <ur pewSe, encrtafed our
wealth and hippinefs at home, »nd rendered u* Br
lift. B reilt fd refpeftable ia the eyes of mankind. It
is between these two opinions that the eit zens of m
•be theTJnited States ainft chufe in elcdling iheir pre
' fident and vice-prefidest ; and by the ctoice of er
Mr. Simmi or Mr. Brent, will the diftrtftexprefs

vernmeat and of its meafuris. for never wire po

cn Brent; the former gentleman having been a urii
„ form a friend to the constitution, and its almini- ' n
{(ration, as the latter has bees decidedly oppafed ta w
both. Pc
~ If our fcllo-.v-crtixsnsj therefore, approve their 11!
government, if they approve the policy "whicn haii j e
