, BEFORE we endeavor to display to
our readers one of the deepest, and most
extraordinary political ne ociations which !
our annals have recorde , a negociation ss
which establiehes beyond a doubt a deter- ;
' mination either to quarrel with Great-Bri- i
tain or to prevent a peace with her on any
terms; it will be useful to consider whe
ther we had a right to expect such conduct
in Mr. Madison : whether it comports
with, or is o osed to former views of his
"character. his is extremely important
both to him, and to us in forming a correct
judgment of his measures : For if Mr.
ss Madison has heretofore manifested an im
partia] and nnbiassed disposition towards
the great belligerents ; if he has discovered
a sincere svish to preserve a good under.
, standing with Great Britain, and a proper
ss spirit of indignation at the injuries of
ss France, it would require pretty strong evi
dence before we could believe him capable
of forming so deliberate it in to forcsix
former into an open r'upture'. If on t
ther hand, his late conduct shall appear to
be perfectly consistent with the former his
tory of his life; if a state of ill humor and ,
ill will towards Great Britain shall appear
to have been the prevailing'temperament of
his mind, and especially if it shall turn out
that he has acquired his inﬂuence with his
own party chiefly by fostering such preju
- dices, surely it will not be deemed uucha
ritable 'to consider the uovvearicd pains l
which have been taken to produce an irre
concilenblc rupture, as resulting from a fix
ed and premeditated plan.
Mr. Madison came into Congress in the
year 1778 --Our open alliance with France
had just then taken place—The views, the
ambitious and interested vietvs which led
the cabinet of Versailles to adopt our cause
and which were so frankly acknowledged
in Mr. Genet's instructions, were even at
that etlrly period discovered by the dele
gates from the eastern states. It was soon
perceived that our independence was one of
the last objecte which entered into the po
ct licy of France. A separation from Great
Britain accompanied by such weakness on
our part as should render us dependent on
ht rself was the extent of her good will to
wards us.
lt would astonish thoee who are ignorant
of the intri ing policyssos France to be
informed, w at was the sect, thet this ally,
so full of professions, moved every wheel
in the politicel machine to prevent our
gromh, end to check our solid independ
ence--To this end, she early fomented .
erty in Congrees—to this end she even,
intrigued with our common enemy—To
this end she endeavored to diminish out
' territoriel claims—To this end ehe o
the ceseion of the Fisheries to ue-- o thin,
end in short she insisted that even our ln
depsndence should not be . eine qui non of
: tresty. But the most extraordinery
of this history is, that men could be found
in our own councils ready to co-operete in
the French views. It is however efset,
thnt there existed in Concrest "! Gellr'can
and an Anti-Gdllr'ean interest—that the New
England delegetes were withouten exce -
tion of the letter deecription, end that r.

ss Up. it is immaterial to the. present discus
' sion to consider his union With Mr. Hamil- ;
ss ton and Mr. jay in procuring the ndoption !
si of the Federal Constitution. and his subse
quent desertion of the federal cause as soon
as that conuitution went into operation.
lt is only with regard to his opinions as to
our soreign relations, that the history of
"Mr. Madison is important in the present
discussion.
Upon the breaking out of the war be
tween Great Britnin and France, new and
important duties and relations took place in
the policy of the Unitetl States. General
Washington resolved upon an iznpartial neu'
trality. The party to which Mr. Madisor.
has from that moment attached his fortunes,
condemned'thxn neutrality. Mr. Madison
was one at the most strenuous opposers of
it, and he wrote a series of political apt-cula
tions to render that measure unpopular.
W'lt our dilliculties with Great Britnin as
aumct a serious aspect, Mr. MadiSnn was
among the soremost to widen the breach,
and to censure the steps adopted by Wash
ington to restore :! friendly intercourse be—
tween us and (hear Britain. He brought
forward in the home of representatives cer
tain resolutions to defeat the principal oh
jects of the president, and we owe to the c
loquenee of Mr. Ames, and to the vigorous
"stand which the inhabitants of Boston and
of New England generally, made to Mr.
Madison's propoaitions, the prescrvation of
our country from the horrors of war, and
the unexampled blessings which have ﬂow
ed from the prudent and wise conduct ofour
illustrious president.
