The federalifts were once in the habit of ac,
knowledging the merit of Mr. Jefferfon. Ip a
work, ascribed to Hamilton and others, entitled
cc The Federalif, addrefled to the people of New
York, in ^B, oh the fubjett of adopting the new
Constitution, there is the following just remarks :
“ The author of the Notes on the State of Vir
ginia, has subjoined, to that valuable work, the
draught of a Conftitqtion, which had .been pre
pared in order to be had before a conception ex
petted to be called ih 'B3, by the Legislature, for
the establishment of a constitution tior^bat com
monwealth. The plan, like every thing from the
fame pen, marks a tyrn of thinking original, com
prehenfae and accurate ; and is the more worthy
of attention, as it equally displays a fervent at
'tachment to Republican Government, and an en-,
lightened view p„he dangerous propensities againfl
which it ought to be guarded. One of the precau
tions which he proposes, and on which he appears
ultimately to rely, as a palladium to the weaker
departments of power, againll the invalions of the
wronger, is perhaps altogether his own, ai;d as it.

the present Secretary of State, and the bofbtn
friend of Mr. Jefferfon, has been honored with
much federal obnfe. The reasons are obvious :
conciliating manners, exemplary morals, unim
peachable integrity, a luminous uuderltanding,
indefatigable indullry and long experience in the
public concerns of the United States, have given
him great political weight of character. He was
a diflinguifhed member of the Old Congress, in
which he moved the recommendation of a general
convention, for amending the articles of confed
eration. In that Convention, he was ofy of the
committee of five; who draughted the Constitu
tion, the greatest part of which is in his own
words.
That party fyflem called Federal Chrinianity,
which is taught at some of our colleges & preach
ed in some of opr pulpits, is altogether different
from the chiftianity of the Bible. The latter pro
claims , peace and good will towards men,' and
breathes the spirit of charity, benevolence, and
mutual forbearance. The former delights in
Robifon, Barruel, and the Palladium, and pro
motes party prejudice, dander, hatred against
democrats, faction, feditiort, oppression, and war ;
and is, if poflible, more dangerous to the cause of
real evangelical religion, than open infidelity, ib.
In the Convention of Virginia he wasge-emi
nent. His arguments prevailed, agaibit the elo
quence of the celebrated ratrick Henry ; and the
Constitution wat adopted. It owes more to Mr.
Maddifon than to any other man. In the firfl
Congress, under it, he moved the principal ex
planatory and redriftive amendments, which had
been recommended by the conventions of Virgi
nia, New-York, Mhfl'achufetts, &c. and which
being finally adopted, united and reconciled the
body of Republicans, many of whom had infilled
upon their previous incorporation, as a condition
of adopting the confutation.
Mr. Maddifon contributed essentially to the or
ganization of the hew government, and the estab
lishment of the several departments; and was
^generally acknowledged to be the mod influential
'member of his favorite branch, the house of re
prefentatives, until the Hamiltonian fyflem,cloath
ed and armed with the popular name of Federal
ism, began to unfold itfelf.—His difeerning mind
early perceived the anti-republican tendency of
that deep laid fyflem. He considered it a devia
tion from the spirit of the Confutation, leading in
its consequences, to a perversion of the funda
mental principles of our revolution and republi
can government. He accordingly gave it a can
did, but decided opposition.
The evils predated have in fall been experi
enced from the Hamiltonian, or as it is popularly
called, the federal fyflem. Time and experience
have flripped it of its specious covering, and in'
some measure exposed it to view. The sober,
second thoughts of the people have recurred to
firtt principles. Republicanism has happily re
vived ; and Republicans are again in possession of
the government. Upon rhe election of his friend
to the Presidency, Mr. Madison, in- obedience to
the unequivocal vifh of the public?, has entered
again upon the stage of political life, in the cha
racter of Secretary of State. Long may our coun
try be benefitted by his patriotic services.— Sun.
tea ; and, referring its improvement to that leaf!
fallible human Itandard, experience, wifely guards
againll the opposite evils of innovation and inlia
bility, on the one hand, and on the other, an in
veterate perfeverence in error. Already have we
experienced incalculable benefit from this faluta
lory clause. By means of it, amendments have
been peaceably introduced, which are highly val
uable in themselves, and enhanced in value by
their efficacy in fatisfying and reconciling many of
our molt worthy citizens, who originally diflent
ed from the constitution for want of what they
considered ueceflary definitions and checks. And
it may be equally beneficial in future,—Sort.
