constitutional tle6;2n Of Chief MIg0rates, and

| p efident, was, l believe, very coniorant u
| the feelings and wlhrs, IF his political opPo-
nents. For though it contained no pecjic en-
eagements, relative to the courfe which the
administration intended 70 pu,fue; yet it ap-
preached 70 near this point as that mott PEG
| Die would conider a violent departure from the
federal principles, as breach OF faith. In this
! ftuarion, it was eaiy TO forelee, that if Mr..
Jefferfon fulfilled the fleming Promiles in his
! lpeech he would be deferted by the furious Of
| his own party; if he failed to fulfil them, the
more moderate of bo'h parties would charg-
him with hypocrify dilemma, not the mott
enviable for a man buuhened with duties of
new and fficult nature duties, from which
many minds Of more 1kill and hTmnefs than
his, would have fhrulk with di(mly. The
I fedcral1s are, therefore, quietly waiting for

! In the near time, let us profit By the leIons
which The J4cobns have taught US. We hive
Iearued from exper ence, what great things
nav be accomplished BY fpirit OF union, vigi-
lance and ACTIVITY. We have ieen vicious
combination, competed Of the mot dlcordant
materials, agreeing to bury heir individual &
ieparate intereas and padions, and uniting
With one hea t. and hand, TO forward by every
mean, and at All hazards, the general plans Of
the party. We have alto ieen them iucceed.
That government, which the collected wIldom,
virtue and patriotilm of the United States orr
gInally Planned, and, which we fattered our
ie'ves, vas et4bihed in its operation, under
he ampioes, the Xxi !, the pre-eminent virtues,
mi iiIgular talents of tbs father Of Bis country,
is nov tie fport Of popular commotion-is
ajrift, without helm or compass, in . turbid
and boiRerous ocean. To be prepared agalnlt
tn hour Of lis ihipwreck, or 10 bring il back IN
iaety 70 its wonted haven, the federal patty
mutt ALTO uaite, be watehful and active. Con-
hdeut as We are, that the Pre(ent administration
is not comp, tent 70 tn management OF the 60.
venmen', upon Taco5inj-ai priaeiPleS, it is the
indlpenfbie duty Of the iederaliIts TO be pre-
pared for any event thai may happen. For
this puTpole they mutt move. in a firm, compact,
and formidable phalanx, which no common
force can reGa, and no ordinary danger lntimi-
| date.
Thefe general remarks, are applicable to the
federaliRs throughout the union. They have
a common lntereR to Protea, which is ahailed
by common enemy. This interea mutt be
defended, ADD cherilhed, and this attack re-
PEELED, BY general concert both Of plan and
coudu6 IN the mean time, to the federallts
Of New England, they come with redoubled
force. (z) In New England, the people par
take arongly Of a common character and arg
more united, and more federal, than in any
| other diviion Of equal extent IN the Unite1
| States. The caufe5 Of this union and federalfm
were implanted 10 the earliet forms of their
government they have il great degree
formed the national chara6ter they have been
productive Of pubs virtue, and private happi
nels and Of eourie, will not eadiy be removed
or deAroyed.
