The sole, aliii of the Aurora is measures and principles in accord, those principles represen tative and democratical ; it matters not what name men or factions assume it is by princip es and measures corresponding, that they can be entitled to confidence or respect. Whether it be the intolerance of federalism towards every thing liberal and l"ree ' or the perfidiousness and treachery of those woo are now in power, It is not of so much importance '.either sort of pub lic violence or corruption, is the just object of -censure of a free press," ..which ought to know no persons ; but to be independent alike of all --equally disposed to do juniice where honor is earned, or publie distrust authorised. , : In the lathing hatchet paper of Baltimore, of ' tlie l?lh iust. we find an article, which digs up -from the tomb, into which the public judgment has for sixteen years consigned them, the false hoods under which they-were buried by. their wu hands in 1799 and 1800.
