move the embargo, until the causes which

they are not removed.
lie also attaches much blame 10 the pre-
sident for speaking in such cold and formal
language respecting Spain. AS the head Of
IL neutral nation he could not do otherwise
as aprivate individual however we venture
to say that the cause Of the Spanish patriots
is as near to the heart of Thomas Jefferson.
MS that OF any ministerial editor in London
but as the head Uf a neutral executive, he had
no right to express his feelings. We are in
deed sorry to see our Old schoolmate with
whom we once went hand n-hand when each
were attempting 10 drink deep from the
Greek and Roman spring, SO far changed
WIN respect to the great principles of poll
teal economy--From II 90 1894, the distant
Sound ct free dom, appeared to have enkindled
the patriotic fame in his youthful breast,
which we expected could never have been
distinguished by ministerial influence: but
alas how egregiousy are we sometimes de-
ceived-The sun when rising in brilliance.

Another reason may be given for Mr..

famous letter published in the Courier This

The American papers will inform you
| officially of the spirit of the American
Councils ard non officially though justly, of
the feelings OF the American people. You
will see that neither British moderation nor
Corsican insoience" OF the suffsrings of the
Americans, have been able to transform in
to justice and honor the partially to Gallo
principles of jefferson and Co.

the election of future President, some of
them desiring Madison, others CHnton-
Were their opponents as active and intrigue
ing, they might profit by this broil, and get
worthy citizen Mr. Ra!fa8 King, to occupy
this place. But here, as wei, as in Europe,
dacity and want of principle belong entirely
to the democratic party, united only when
plotting mischief or conspir;ng destruction.
The Gallo faction has certainly been los
err by the embargo act, but still Madison i.
expected to be elected President"
Can any man after this, blame the editor
OF the Courier, with all the preiudices of
ministerial tool about him, for speaking
harshly of our chief magistrate trait
ors lurking in this very city are deceiving
both him and his government, by their dia-
bolcal communications If from such cor
rupt sources as the reahcct06le" author of
the above libellous letter, that the people &c
government of G.. Britain, derive a great
part of their informaton-snd chiefly to this
cause may be attributed he unwilingness OF
that Cabinet to dous justice as nation. Lee
