| Here it is seen, that wherever there is
the smallest chance for federal vote, il
| is placed on the list of one of Colonel Mon
| roe's certain votes. Why do they give CO.
| lionel Monroe six vores from North Carroll
| ma because they calculate that six districts
\ III that state viii return federal electors
The same may be said of Tennessee, Ohio
and Maryland. Why are the votes of Geor-
| sia, jersey and New York placed on
the list of Colonel Monroe's certain votes
because they expect, that these states will
| undergo AN entire revolution in politics.
Why are tie votes of Pennsylvania and Vir-
GINA considered doub 1ful? Because it is ve-
| ny uncertain indeed, whether these states
| will become federal--I will only add, that
| the reverse of this picture is rue with re-
spect to the expectations OF the friends of
MIR. Madison. Wherever republican e.
lector may be found, his vote is calculated
on with certainty for James Madison.
III it be true, that Col. Monroe is to BE sup
ported by federalism, it has indeed a very
awful squirting. Let us refer to the case of
A. Burr ard see the circumstances under
which he became an object of federal soiici-
tude When did the fcderalists exert them
selves with all their might & alItheirstrcngth,
to place Burr in the Presidential Chair over
Mr. Jefferson, and i'll opposition tolhe wishes
the United Statesi Why, truly not till they
had by their intrigues discovered, that he was
a fit subject for their views. Again; after
Burr had made himself obnoxious to the fe-
dera party by numbering their Champion A.
lexander Hamilton, when did theVagain rail-
ly round bin with all the warmth and ardor
OF friendship When did he become the as
sociate x dinner companion of federal chief
justice Why, truly not until sufficient testi-
mony had been brought to light, to convince
every horest man, that Burr was trcacherous
70 ms covntry, and that he had been using
every means in his power to ovcrturn the go
ycrnment.
Col. Monroe cannothave forgotten the ha-
tired and enmity which the federal party bore
him in times past and he may rest assured
that the fedcraIsts will support him no fur
tier than may i'll their own opinions answer
their own views. They will desert him with
contempt, should he look forwal 4 to the merit
Presidency, if they see the smallest chance
of bringing in one Of their own party.
FEDERAL CAUCUS AND ARRANGEMFNT
Ihe die is ut length cast! The federal
lists of this city and Manchester, have at
last determined publiclyto support Mr. Mon
roe.
is apparent then. that on this great oues-
AlOli tuC uiNb'lo VI JdihCS NlOnIOc ana me
federal party of this state, will be complete
ly identi6ed.--Within few years, what
great revolutions have occurred in the poll
teal world In 1893, James Monroe was
the theme Of federal clamor and denuncia-
ton. There was 10 political epithet too
harsh to be applied to him. Who then would
have thought that Mr.. Monroe would have
been. indebted to federal aid for his appoint
ment to the highest Office in the Union ,
Who would have supposed. that the federal
lists of Virginia would have laVisled their
suffrages and support upon him'
The cine TO these proceedings is before the
world. The Federalists believe that MIR
Madison is an ardent friend of the measures
of the present administration that he
stands committed on points, which are es-
sential to the rights and honour of His coun-
Try that Mr.. Monroe is disconnected man :;
that he is not warm friend of the adminfstra-
ton & that he would pursue course of mea-
sures, which is more congenial to federal DO.
Icy - In fine to employ their own phrases,
that they "haye reason to conclude from
the last Address Of his committee, that his
