As a means of encouragementand gratification to
the fories, and difaffeded partizans of DIONYSIUS;
and to deprefs, if poffible, all fpirit of refflfance in
the whigs; the proceedings or minutes of the legif,
lature are made a mere reord of (candal againfit the
whigs. If the honef i eal of a whig of any note, led
him into any intemperance or indicretion, it was
regifgered'fcourfe, efpecially if any difpute happen-

the riots and blafphemy of the tories, fo notorious
and common it the eleaious of Suffex, efpecially,
have always been pudled over iri filence, and hid as
much a- poffble from the world.
Not only tie minutes of the legiflature, but the
laws of the (Rate are proflituted, as mere engines of
fadion. In legiflation, DIONYSIUS is the cham-
pion of public faith and credit, in thofe matters
wherein the tories are interefted j but for rewarding
the officers and foldiers, he exhibits a plan of depre-
ciation, and fcaling away the public debts. Laws
and refolutions arc paffed for paying himfelf and
