THE cANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
| TIE friends of Mr.. Madison have not
been disappointed. Brutl invectve has
followed his nomination for the presidential
Office from the federal party and our Ian
guage is tortured n he search for terms Of
malignant reproach. 1.-THE male, olence of
his accusers were clothed in alluring attire,
or approached the public surrounded by the
scintllations of wit, it might possibly meet
with gracious reception but in its pre-
sent ul appearance, IT is too disgusting to
De countenanCed even by the most indeli-
cate mind. The man who has devoted more
than thirty years Of his life to the service
Of his country; the purity of whose morals
| is proverbal and the rectitude of whose
political conduct is asserted by the funda-
mental institutions of the nation, has nothing
to fear for his reputation from the shaft OF
the most searching satire: And with lofty
scorn he may view the furious efforts Of
gross assailants to wound his character.
From the hurtless venom of federal spleen,
! thru with some surprise TO those solitary
republicans, who are playing the jesuite
with such awkward address. rhe flaming
pa, riots who lately warned us with the fer
yor Of their zeal TO sacrifice local prejudi-
ces and passions for unity and concert, have
crossed the line of discretion to enliven the
spirits of their ancient enemies I; and the fe-
deralis;s, cheered by their approach, well
come their transit by loathsome croakings
Il once was evidence OF exalted merit to be
the object Of federal hatred and abuse and,
fl judge correctly, those who are friendly

admire Mr.. Jefferson the less for being the
continual object Of censure from thatparty.
by what miracle, then, is it, that their OBJ
jections to Mr. Madison have become so
convincing! Can it Ne possible that there is
a gid republican in the land who has suf-
fered himself TO be persuaded By them to his
ruin Has the guardian angel Of our preci-
Gus rights abandoned us thus early to the
serpent or has the foul monster Inhibition
stolen into the hearts of some Of our form
er friends, to urge us to an untimely destruc-
ton :
1t would be fruitless to seek for tho spe-
cifc cause; But the degrading fact stares
US full in the face that those republicans
who oppose Mr.. Madison's elevation are
nited in one common object with the fede-
ralists. In any other cause than that Of I,
desperate attempt at supreme power, ]
doubt not this reflection would startle the |
mot intrepid Of those who are endeavoring !
to weau the public mind from long-triec |
