In Letter No. 13, Centinel reveals yet more Federalist tricks. He calls out the Framersâ tools who are employing the newly instituted Post Office to further hijack Anti-Federalist mailings. Centinel is astonished at this artful manipulation of smoke and mirrors. Passels of contrived correspondents, orchestrated by the nebulous Doctor Puff, are flooding the papers and journals with phony letters and missives âlaudingâ the new Constitution. Such subterfuge begs the question: Have we in America ever had a truly free press? Some brave printers publish part of the real story. When they do, the people are resentful and disgusted when they learn the hard truth about the new system of government. The Founders we applaud today practiced deception on a scale rarely seen in human affairs.
