have not heard of any person being . detained in
our pnson contrary to hia wish. .
But although we cannot hope tbbring offenders

caution our readers against them and their arts.
We make it known, that we have lately seen
a history of the club of counterfeiters and earn
blcrs, compiled from the confessions of three: of

channel of our social compact, that we are at

mu9t therefore, as a body of American freemen,
expose our sentiments to the world upon such a
dangerous procedure ; and lest a concealment ot
these opinions should be construed into an acqui
escence on our parts, we beg leave to prefer-this,
our solemn pretest against all caucusses whatever,
as inconsistent with the independence of our re
publican institutions, and direct invasions of the
elective franchise the great safeguard of our free
dom, but particularly against those Cau cusses held
by our last Legislature and Congress on the sub
ject of a presidential election. We go further,
we protest, against the electoral Jaw passed at the
last Legislature, as calculated to stifle the voice
ot? the; j minority by ereating an overwhelming
influence in the majority. And the alteration of
