that every ;n(>ldua! measure should be the most
•agacious ay profound. It is sufficient to en
title an >tjymi:tration to our firm support, to be
convince/that its system flows from pure in
tentions xnd that while it is always just, it is
generally and principally politic.
The commercial interruptions, and consequent
private dislicsses which were occasioned by
foreign jealousies, injustice and hostility, became
ungenerousy imputed to our government With
a settled iitenlion to gr*9p its powers, by ren
dering it mpopular, its wisest and most neces
sary meaiurcs have beeu misrepresented and
traduced. The most excellent and discerning
administration with which any community upon
earth was ever blessed, an administration
which has in the most eminent degree, corabin
ed integrity and wisdom, with honest, ardent
exertions lor tic public welfare, while strug
gling to maintain the most inestimable national
Tignts of our common country, was continually
opposed by domestic ambition ; which, regard
less of the great, interest of the American peo
ple, hud determined to sacrifice them aL', to pro
duce delusion and obtain an ascendancy,
Such on opposition existing within our own
bosom, and even countenanced by some men, in
whose vinyls a great degree of reliance had
been reposed, occasioned a critical and accurate
ex -ininatiou into the merits of those acts of our
government, which were thus discountenanced
and opposed. The result cf our enquire- was to
strengthen our conviction. We every day more
clearly ascertained, the propriety of the .system
vd»;ch had been judiciously adopted by our gov
ernment, and absolute necessity of maintaining
the neutral, commercial, and maritime rights of
the U. States.
Contemplating this extensive subject in such
Interesting point of vie w, we deemed it a duty
arising from the situation to which we have the
honor to be selected, to communicate our ideas
and the information we have been abb; to col
lect, to our republican fellow ciliaena of this '
state.
• G^iitettiplatlrijj subject farther, and impar
tially examining into tilt merits of those olm c
Uons wllien h:.ve produced opposition to the path
•winch has been pursued by the Jefferson aditii
lustration, wo find it to liare been correct, e
qually in point'of wisdom and honest intention.
We therefore undertook to establish these
three principal positions. 1. That our public
measures were'strictly justifiable in equity, de
Air.sib.c in their nature, and demanded in self
protection againt the repeated and continued in
juiies received. 2. 1 hat tht*y y'?rc strictly un
partial between belligerent and b« Uigerent, and
'•wholly devoid of attachment to the one, or en
•vnity to the other ; and in the 3. place, that they
w ere not only the best and most beneficial, but
the only proper means, that con Id have been a
dopted, fur the protection and security of the
people of die union. We now respectfully sub
mit the subject to your decision If tve have
succeedo.lin the-ask, an honest itidignition caw
not but be entr "tamed against those who have
opposed such wise and salutaiy measure*, and
®4d*tional monyes must hicome presented for
a faithful, firm, Mid vigorous, support of the gov
ernment. ” ■
In qrder that these interesting points might be
accurately examined, it was determined to take
a full and comprehensive view, as well of the va
rious depredations commiued against us, as of
the measures which were pursued for the pur
pose of obtaining jus* ice. \Ve have rccordiugfy
afforded a faithful summary of the most promi
nent inju;'«us orders and decrees of the several
belligerents, and in addition to tracing the steps
of our government, have furnished an accurate &
impartial abridgement of the most material diplo
matique correspondence
I iie spirit of party, which,!*order to promote
the ambitious views, and particular interest of
designing men, would saoiifice the principles of
justice and the rights of the community to foreign
power-, cannot he too severely discountenanced.
In addition *n the nsunl and indiscriminate »>p
position nn-de by federalism, our administration
has been obliged to encounter an unpiinclpled
schism, crea.cd by those ubo hajl been formerly
ranked among its defenders and friends.
, Symptoms ol this new opposition first appeared
in Congress. The measure* of government were
strenumi ;ty resisted by a small minority of repub
lican*. the character and views of the president
"Were openly traduced, and it scon l»ecame evi*
that the design was m? ..dated to introduce
a new prrtyiti the union. Tbeprers in this city,
which, established by (lie partiality, and sup.
ported by the bounty ol the republican pari v, had
an ogated lo itselt a command-ng superiority, ve

And on the other hand, if they sincerely disap
proved of the hostility to government and of the
opposition made to a regular nomination, in their
behalf—if they did not encourage or countenance
that opposition, and in obedience to the public
choice, declined a competition with Mr. Madi
son, or rather a resistance to tlie great majority
of the party, it was in their power immediately to
have disclaimed these transactions, to have pre
ventedthe disputes which have not only disturb
ed the repose, but also injured the republican re
putation of the Ijtate.
Such is the only path which patriotic and ho
norable men could have possibly pursued_it was
consonant with every principle and maxim which
those gentlemen upon former occasions had ad
vocated, and in fine the republican people of the
United States, and of this state, were entitled to
expect it, if they remained consistent with them
selves. But instead of adopting a course which
would have been so natural and obvious, provid
ed they had remained honest, the idea was suf
fered to circulate oncontradicled, that their
candidate was adverse to the measures of go
vernment, and intended to adopt a different s> s
tern. This silent reserve on their part, can only
be imputed to an expectation of obtaining the
support of those wlio were engaged in the oppo
sition. The paper which in the one column sup
ported the election of the irregular candidate, in
the next without intermission, vilified the late
and new presidents, and while pursuing this in
jurious career,(instead of being discountenanced,
was supported and rewarded by official patron
age. The canilidate himself, instead of openly
declining, as in justice to the republican cause,
it was his duty to have done ; by an evasive an
swer, professing to place himself upon the will
of the people, afforded an express sanction to
the efforts which were making to elevate him to
the presidency. The struggle in this state was
continued to the latest moment, altho’ it was well
ascertained that the republicans of the union hail
ti'ken their determined stand, upon the sole basis
of virtuous principles, and that there was not the
shadow of a prospect promising success, inde
pendent of the hopes of federal participation.
It must, therefore, he apparent, that whatever
apologies may now he offered in extenuation of
such misconduct, that those apologies are entire
I) delusive ; ami however it may now be attempt
ed to dugu^eVnd cover the fact, these very per
sons were the prominent parties to the trsssac
iiun.
It is with great reluctance that we have at
length resolved to introduce this subject. When
the presidential election became closed, we were
satisfied with the triumph of principle and in
tiulged a belief that those who had departed from
it would have become sensible of tbe firmness of
their country, and the im|>o3sibilily of accom
plishing their irregular objects of pursuit. In
this moden te *nd liberal expectation we have
been totally disappointed, a id we now distinctly
perceive, by its continued exertions, that this op
position slid retains its every selfish views, its
every improper determination.
The eye of the union is anxiously directed to
wards this state. Us importance- and weight in
the general scale renders our perseverance in duty
an object of the highest solicitude. Wc have
to establish a fair, disinterested and dignified
character among our sister -lutes ; and to evince
by the integrity of our conduct, that we are
faithful to the public interests. We have sub
milted these ideas to your consideration, not on
ly knowing that you will decide with justice, but
entertaining also a full conviction, that we shall
stand us a party united in the pursuit of virtue.
We are also conscious, fellow-citizcns, that
many secret attempts have been made to misre
present the sentiments of the republicans of the
city and county of New-York. We have been
charged from time to time with having indulged
a restless disposition, and with entertaining a
wish to possess an unjust and injurious superiori
ty. T«* remove so unfounded a prejudice, to
destroy a jealousy which could not but be mutu
ally detrimental, i:i an important duty which w*e
owe to ourselves, to our common cause, to our
country, and to you. Instead of licin ' dissatiu
<i :d, we are sincerely attached to the present ad
ministrations of the Union and of this.state ; ami
our only anxiety is faithfully and honorably to
preserve them. Attached to measures alone,
and not to the persons of men, we have not a
character among us whom we wi»h to elavate,
nor do we possess an interest that is not equally
your own. To maintain the ancient, pure am)
established principles of the great ltepuhlican
party—to preset re the independence of our coun
try— to maintain its constitution, and the respec
tability of its government i securing equally our
national rights am! domes lia liberties against fo

/St expectation of success. The standard paper
which among us had incessantly vilified the gen
eral government, we again repeat the fact, in the
same columns, continually espoused the election
jf an irregular and unchosen candidate.
Nor can it bo said with justice, or even plausi
bility, that those in whose behalf these unwarrant
ible exertions were made, did not decisively sop
sort and encourage the whole transaction. The
irotest, at Washington, declaring the unfitness of
Mr. Madison for the presidential oilier, emana
ted from, and was subscribed by, only seventeen
nembersot Congress, who, having arrayed them*
.elvcs against the general party, were determin
’d to assail the government of the union, with a
dew to obtain and exercise its powers. And the
ippoiitioi?, which, if not openly supported, ap
-ears to..Have been privately encouraged, was
suffered to proceed without hindrance, denial or
nterruption.
We consider it to have been the duty of indi
viduals in whose name and behalf an exertion so
mproper was made, to have declared themselves
jpenly upon an occasion .Yil which their own rep
utation and the public interests were equally con
len-ed. Whether they approved or disapproved
of t’.ie measures of the general government_
