GENERAL MEETING. 



Triumph of Federal Policy — No 

 Embargo — No French Party — 

 A return of Peace, Prosperity, 

 and Commerce. 



All true friends of their country 

 — all who are disciples of Washing- 

 ton, and disposed to support the 

 Federal Ticket at the ensuing elec- 

 tion, are requested to meet this day 

 at twelve o'clock, at the Circus, to 

 consider the present state of our 

 national affairs, and to support that 

 system of Federal Politics, which 

 has at last compelled the adminis- 

 tration to abandon a fruitless and 

 self-destructive embargo, and take 

 the first step towards a settlement 

 of our affairs with Great Britain, 

 by accepting terms offered sixteen 

 months ago ; thus putting our dif- 

 ferences with that nation in a train 

 of being fairly and honourably ad- 

 justed, instead of French threatsand 

 confiscations abroad and French 

 influence at home.

April 24.. 



Yesterday, agreeably to notice, 

 our citizens evinced public testimo- 

 nies of their joy on the prospect of 

 a restoration of commercial inter- 

 course with England. The day was 

 ushered in by a grand Federal Sa- 

 lute, which was repeated at noon, 

 and at sun-sef. The shipping in 

 harbour were decorated xiifh their 

 Jldgs at mast-head during the day. 

 The American Eagle, roused from 

 despondency, once more soared 

 among the stars, floating with fond 

 complacency over resuscitated com- 

 merce, and expanding his pinions 

 in triumph at her restoration. The 

 ringing of bells and the thunder 

 of cannon spoke the feelings of 

 freedom, and proclaimed to the 

 skies, the virtuous enthusiasm of 

 political friendship. Mutual felici- 

 tations were exchanged among our 

 patriotic citizens, and the joys of 

 the heart lighted up a smile on 

 every countenance. 



At twelve o'clock, a very numer- 

 ous and respectable assembly of 

 Federal Republicans met at the 

 Circus. So large and so animated 

 an assemblage of electors was never 

 before witnessed in this country. 

 Though the place will contain up- 

 wards of four thousand, it could 

 not admit the whole who at- 

 tended. 



The city, in the evening, was 

 splendidly and fancifully illumi- 

 nated : — while the chiming of the 

 bells and sounds of joy in the 

 streets which swelled on the breath 

 of eve, filled every virtuous bosom 

 with sensations of delight. 



What are the reflections which 

 present themselves to the mind 

 from a survey and recapitulation of 

 this scene ? 



A natural association of ideas
