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.
