form a voluntary association, for the FUR.
pose of selecting one of them, and of a.
srecn,, jointly to support that one. In
his there is no dereliction of integrity OF
independence but merely liberal sacri-
iceof selfish or personal partialities for
The general advantage.
A caucus, therefore, or voluntary asso-
citation of individuals agreeing TO abide b.
the viii of the majority, may on some oc-
casions be resorted To with great propri-
ETY. and, on the present, conceive, if the
contest for the Presidential Chair should
be between two such men as Madison and
Monroe, a caucus is the only proper way
of settling the difference, and uniting the
republican party.
But of ccucuscs there are various des-
riptions.-They may either consist of in
dviduals not in public stations, of mem
bcrs of the state legislatures, or of mem
bers of congress
The last of these is, obviously, the best
adapted 70 express the wishes OF the maio-
rity of the people of the United States
Coming from all the different parts of the
union, generally acquainted with and dis
posed TO carry into effect the wishes of
their constituents, the members of congress
are better qualified than any other body
Of men whatsoever TO make a wise choice
OF a character to be put in nomination for
the Office of president. They cannot be
more interested TO make an improper. Sc
lection than other persons might,bt, and,
if intrigue or artifice may corrupt or. mis-
lead them, il only proves that all human
Institutions are imperfect, and that moth
ing in which men are concerned is free
from contamination.
II caucuses OF private persons, or of the
state legislatures, were adopted, as the
means Of selection, uncertainty aud discord
would be the necessary consequence.
The writer of this therefore concludes
that, sl,ho' the jealousy of the state legis-
latures may induce them to disapprove of
the exercise by Congress of the power of
nomination, it is certainly the best method
that Can be adopted; particularly on the
present occasicn and the election OF the
person proposed by the majority OF Co.'S
gress ought not to be opposed BY any true
republican,, unless Re has Important objec-
tons 20 the character nominated in which
case he should still vote as his own judg-
nent and conscience dictate.
Let us agree then, if either Jea:cs Mr.
dison or Jan'eS Monroe should be the chs
racter so selected, to Yield cur particular
predictions for either OF them, and, as
good republicans and friends OF our coun-
try, let dis be our motto. United VIC
stand, divided we fall"

1t is curious to observe the assurance with
which these men continue TO repeat their old
