Life, Liberty and
Property.

“Citizens
choose your sides. You who are for French notions of government; for the
tempestuous sea of anarchy and misrule; for arming the poor against the rich;
for fraternizing with the foes of God and man; go to the left and support the
leaders, or the dupes, of the anti-federal junto. But you that are sober,
industrious, thriving, and happy, give your votes for those men who mean to
preserve the union of the states, the purity and vigor of our excellent
Constitution, the sacred majesty of the laws, and the holy ordinances of
religion.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
