BALTIMORE NV Of


Extract of a letter from a respectable
house in England, to gentleman in Bal
timore, dated
LiUcrfool, Sent. 90.
Notwithstanding the various alarming
rumors respecting the result of our unfor-
tunate disagreement with America, some
OF which no doubt are transmitted BY let.
ters to you, l cannot, from my own iudg-
ment, nor from that of those who ought to
be we'll Informed upon the subject draw a.
ny conclusion less favorable to an amIcable
adjustment than heretofore on the Contra
ry, ii we consider the general sense of the
country, the particular disposition of the
present ministers, or, as far as it is known,
the temper and progress of the discussions
IN London, certainly should risk an cpni-
on that at the present period, war ought
to be less apprchended than at any time
since the unfortunate affair of the Cbesa.
peaSe. This opinion / believe, is not in
unison with that generally sent out to Anne
RIGA, and in giving it, take 1t for granted
that both countries are alike amicably dis
posed"
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1807-11-27

/ without law to permit it is equally i'm
proper with an illegal expenditure OF puh-
lie money. But we deny that the President
did underTaketo pledge the public faith.
| NE maze the contracts on his ose, rr.ton-
sidifty and, IF Congress should Iisat-
PROVE, they n:ight re/use TO CONTRA, them,
without any breach Of filth. The only
question Is, arc those contracts on reason
able terms, and for objects beneficial TO the
United States If they are, Congress
should now direct the money to be paid I,
otherwise not: and the President and his
friends wish the subject 10 be placed On no
other ground whatever.
1t is asserted too by Mr.. John Randoltk,
that the President violated the principles
OF economy in making contracts, instead of
paying the money because the articles
purchased, or the work procured to be per-
formed, could have been obtained on chea-
per terms for cash. But, surely, if this
gentleman's economical plan of calling
Congress twice in the same year had been
adopted instead of the Presidents plan Of
making provisional contracts for the pub
lie service, (and this too DIT his own risk,
if Congress should not ratify them) the
people OF the United States would have
sensibly felt the difference between the
merits of the two systems of saving their
money. The truth is, the course which
Mr.. Randolph would have pursued, if he
had been President, is rash, violent, and
extravagant. That which the sage and
seda.c Thomas Jefferson actually pursued
was prudent, temperate, economical, and
magnanimous.
Such, exactly, is the difference between
the characters of the two men. Mr.. John
Randolph, who was once, from the bri!li-
ancy OF his talents and the warmth of his
| afharentiy patriotic zeal, the pride of the
Republican party, has now, from the petu-
lance of disappointment, perhaps at finding
that he could not govern the House of Re-
representatives. at his pleasure, degencratel
into passionate opponent, on almost eve
| ry occasion, OF the great majority of his
former friends. He pretends still to dis
like the federal party as much as ever,
but seldom failsto concur with them and,
such are the deplorable fruits of obstinacy,
and of a waspish temper, that we expect
In short time, to see him stand ng almost a.
lone IN Congress deprived even OF his federal
coadjutors. His talents such as they are have
become useless to himself, sl injurious to his
Country. Mr.. Jefferson, on the contrary,
always consistent in his conduct, never go-
verned by passion, but uniformly by ree-
son, and infiexible from the path of politi-
| cal rcctitude, will never lose the admira-
ton and love of the great majority of his
fellow citizens, and while he continues in
| Office will never cease to render them the
! most essential services
