Excerpt from Porcupine's Works; Containing Various Writings and Selections, Exhibiting a Faithful Picture of the United States of America; Of Their Government, Laws, Politics, and Resources; Of the Characters of Their Presidents, Governors, Legislators, Magistrates, Vol. 3 of 12

In oppofing a literary montier like this, I am aware that a Porcupine, with all his quills, can ne ver hope for complete fuccefs: but nothing can be accomplifhed without being begun: I hope to call up abler hands to my aid: to me it will be a fuffi cient honour to have led the way.

This I fhall attempt in a monthly work, of the fame bulk and price as the one which is here fub mitted to the public. In this work I thall take a re view of the political tranfaétions of the pad month give an account of every democratic trick, whe ther of native growth, or imported from abroad; unravel the windings of the pretended patriots, and more particularly thofe of the flame-merchants; andi trufi I thall be enabled to give monthly a fketch of political affairs more fatistaétory, becaufe more correét, than has ever yet appeared In this country. Thefe will be the leading objects; but I fhall exclude nothing not entirely foreign to the nature of the work, that may contribute to the ufe or amufement of my readers.

Excerpt from Porcupine's Works; Containing Various Writings and Selections, Exhibiting a Faithful Picture of the United States of America; Of Their Government, Laws, Politics, and Resources; Of the Characters of Their Presidents, Governors, Legislators, Magistrates, Vol. 3 of 12

No one, who has been an attentive observer of the violent and dangerous attempts which have been made, and are still making, against the Federal Constitution, and consequently against the peace, prosperity, and happiness of our country, can have failed to perceive, that they had their rife in the deception which has been so industriously circulated through every part of the United States. It is not to be presumed, indeed, that the leaders in this hostile and formidable combination have been deceived: they have long been marshalled and ready for the attack: but it is the delusion, which has been quietly suffered to steal its way among the people, that has called them into the field, and encouraged them to assault first the outworks, and at last the very citadel of our liberties and our lives.

The source of this delusion it is not difficult to discover: we have it continually before our eyes: I mean the public papers, and I speak with a very few exceptions.

The General Government adopted the most effectual measures for facilitating the conveyance of information to every quarter of the Union, at the least possible expense. Hence subscribers to papers were found in abundance; and the editors, striking off numerous impressions, were, of course, enabled to furnish them at a low price.
