Weare frequently indebted to the Bal

Politicks. The fubfauent remarks from
this valuable paper mill tot be found unin
derefling.
In the year 1797, when Mr. Jeffer
fon wa^ elected Vice-President of the
United States, he delivered an extem
pore Speech to the Senate, which clof
cd in the following mannef: .
' “No one morefencerely prays, that, no
"accident may call me to the higher and
"more important functions which by the con
"ft^utiok eventually devolves on this office.
'' These have been justly confided to tbe emi
" Kent character [Apams] which has
" proceeded me here, whose talents and in
" tegrity have been known and severed by
" me through a long course of years, have
" been the foundation of a cordial and unin
" te> rupted friendfsip between us ; and I
, devoutly pray be may be long preferred
"for the government, the babpinefs, and
" prosperity of our common country.”
And yet Mr Jefferlon, while he was
Vice-PrefiJent,gave Callender one hun
dred Dollars for writing a pamphlet,
in which Mr. Adams was calumniated
in the vilest manner—in which he was
called a “ hoary headed incendiary,"
&c.&c.—NowletMrJerterfon's friend's

And are there men who blush not

Messrs. TREADWELLS,
From the variety ofopinions that prevailed in
Congress, on the brffymlor the National
Monument to Washington, there was
fomerealon tot# that a diversity of sentiment
might continue to retard this important object,
id its progress by universal subscription :
but after having carefully perused every 'pcriodi--
cal paper of the Union, I am extremely happf
to find that in all the {peculations on this sublime
fubjed, there ft a unity of thought, that mud
make this duty extremely eligible and pleating
to the principal T/uftces.. :\; ^ T
A writer in the lag Gazette has proofed,
that the National University founded a,d
lendowed by Washington in his Will, ^ofy
bjeconfidered as bis left Monument! in connexion
.with the Statue voted^by Congress in 1783.—'

be hatoea for each State; as they are' b'ui|c add
endowed, oh a regular pfari in fucceffion.''

Such will find that WashingtoN In 111 +i)l
has left the form of thtfynopfis, &c. of the U

For my part it would be highly gratifying, if
you would inform the country gentlemen, fe

witnessed the revolutionary struggle,
could have believed that a Washing
ton, who at the head of an unpaid, un
clothed, and almost unfed yeomanry,
foiled the forces ofthe mort warlike na
tion of Europe—who by his magnanim
ity and virtue so greatly contributed to
the establishment of a constitution and
government, founded on the purest
principles of republicanism : and when
in the practice of every virtue, and in
the administration of that government,
fhduld have his influence destroyed by
the intrigues of A man who, in the hour
of danger, defected his post, and, in the
time of prosperity and fafety, was ever
anxious to destroy that excellence which
he could not imitate. That mifereants
should seek for favor under the fofter
ing wing of difeontent, is hot to be won
dered at ; but that the good sense of
our country should give way to the fal
lacious and insidious counsels of such
as aye without character or attachment
is truly marvellous .Painful is the re
fieaion, that on this day, whqn part ser
vices and generous reward wete the
theme of panegyric, that we have to re
count the fad reverse. No longer does
minirterial favor rest on those, who in
defiance of rapids, mountains and cli
mate, held their fearlefs way, to win
their country's cause, or loofethemfelves
on British ramparts or in Canadian
snows. The blood-stained march to
Trenton, and the hard fought battles of
warfare no, more ^remembered ; and
the hoary veteran is driven from office,
to procure subsistence by the labour of
those limbs which have been (carted in
the service of his country."
" Let us consider whether measures,
calculated to divide, are not intended
to destroy. Let us look back in our
