CIRCULAR.

ne me Correshonding Committee, for the
COUNTY Of augusta, encouraged bv ou1
oFon ideas Of consistency, and 81 comma.
mcatfo's from different harris OF the STATE
Of virginia, have formed the dnnerei
Federal Ticker:
This Ticket would have made its appear
ance in Mr.. Davis's paper of the 18th inst.
published in Richmond, If it had not been
arrested by a Committee of Federalis,s in
that place, to US unknown, through the
whole progress of our proceedings; and
which really seerns to have been brought
into existence by the arrival at that place,
OF the ticker made out by.us.
NE PRESUME nor TO dictate for that Com
mittee, nor tor any portion of our federal
brethren, but we mean to act consistently
with ourselves, and to vote for those men
and those only whom we wish should sue
coed, and to give TO our federal brethren
throughout the state the same opportunity.
We deprecate the idea of voting otherwise,
and we have no hesitation in saying, that
the course recommended by the Committee
ut Richmond, is calculated TO insult the
feelings of the man they advocate, inasmuch
as the avowed object is, not Ihat he should
succeed, but that his name shouId be made
use OF to defeat the election of his opponent,
IN this state. We are not disposed to in
Iure the feelings of that gentleman, or any
other, but we have desire TO adhere to
the principlewe set out with, and therefore,
although the time previous to the election
too short to promise much, we neverthe-
less, submit to our brethren the following
ticket:
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1808-11-04

which il shall commit itself with our
government either one way or the o.
Their, before it is too late for the intel
ligence to reach this country previous
ly to the termination Of the presidenti-
al election; and further, that Great
Britain is influenced to such strange
conduct by the expectation of an in
|surrection in the United States, which
she is lead to believe will occur from
the supposition that the people of this
country will not submit to the embar-
go when the ports Of Spain and Portu-
gal are known to be open to them.
And this policy Great Britain adheres
to, notwithstanding famine is staring
her in the face! The citizens of u.
nited America will know how to ap-
preciate and how to meet such conduct
on the part Of the English. IF a TO-
reign power is to choose president
for us, there is an end to indspen-
dence.-ib.

The arrival of the f." Hope" at New

who have so long and so ardently desired
war with France. AS many suspected,
the Liverpool declaration of war against
the U. 5. by Bonaparie was hoar played

COL. MONROE.

ne m3gnanImlty OF the adminIstra-
ton saved the character of col. Monroe
from perdition. The bungled note of
the minister from London taught the
whole United States to expect he had
concluded treaty upon all the points
embraced in his mission; but when
the treaty arrived, the public indigna-
ton was reused to find in it nothing
more than the miserable barter of our
rights for an informal understanding
Our East India trade our West In
dia trade; our trade with Europe !;
were all circumscribed by q project
which was palmed upon US fora fair and
honorable adjustment of differences !!
Nay ryder was attached to it which
put 1t IN the power of England to fulfill
it or not, just at her pleasure. The
people were loud in their murmurs a.
galnst the instrument. They accused
the administration of duplicity in an
lnouncing that a treaty had been con-
Guided, when in fact, there was no trea-
~ But 1t was not the administration
that was in error. 1t was Monroe who
mad written TO the administration that
all was settled-and the executive
communicated the news to the nation.
And what apology did col. Monroe
offer for thus imposing on his own 90
vernment "Ihe letter Tsays he OF
January Sd, was written in haste,
land was deficient in many of the ex-
plantations which would otherwise
. have been given of the treaty. l
was happy, when at Washington, to
=" Ind that you were perfectly willing
"te receive any explanations which ]
might now be disposed TO give OF
:" that transaction" Yes! Jefferson,
mud, forgiving, and benevolent, was
willing to accept any apology for so
gross an imPosture, although he him
self had been shamefulIy vilifed for a
mlsfeasance of which colonel Monroe
was the author. He tells us he was
SIN haste" But what excuse is that
tor giving wrong information? AS ape
minister, clothed with diplomatic pow
ers, misrePresenting an important fact
to his government, pleads haste in ex-
tenuation of his offence! Well what
security have these United States that
he would do better if elected to the
presidency! / can tell colonel Mon
roe that his agreement TO that treaty
has been one great cause of the pro-
crastination OF settlement of diTeren-
ces with Great Britain. He knew il
was contrary to bis Instructions, and
ne must have been certain our Govern
ment could not assent to it. The sem
ding 1t back naturally tended to create
acrimony in the English cabinet, and
there IS some cause TO suspect that
colonel Monroe, counselled by Ran
dolPh, had an intention in this way
to disgrace the administration. and
particularly Mr.. Madison, by striving
to make it appear that it was the fault
OF the cabinet of Washington that har-
mony was not restored between the
United States and Great Britain.

nockery and -idicu'e. Bue what benefit
should we derive from sinking thus low i'm
national disgraces We should be indebted,
TO the courtesy of Great Britain for our per-
mission TO carry ON dull, lifeless, precari-
GUS and disgraceful trade. We should, Tn
all intents and purposes, traverse the seas
under British protection, and To uone but
British ports. We should then, inevitably.
fall into the very calamity which our best
patriots, and our greatest men have always
endeavored to avoid-a war, with one of
the European Bcliigerents-with France
We shall be asked, what will France oct
by declaring war, when her troops dare not
venture on the high seas! TINS doctrine
would urge us always to form a treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, with the
greatest maritime power 70 provoke ,
declaration of war and then to rely on col
lateral power for defence, and what COLA

base and faithless Britain? Go TO war an

lief This doctrine may suit little deheu-
denotes, who cannot help themselves. I'm,
we know that it will never pass current in
the United States of America. We t,usr
that we are not yet prepared, and we hone
that we never shall be, to practice the Euro
pean maxim of turptude, of measuring ius-
tice by the standard of interest As neu-
trail nation, we are entitled by the laws oe
Man and God, to neutral rights, and we
hope that we never shall become so has.
and dastardly, as to trade them away. We
have done every thing in our power to in
dnce Great Britain to refrain from her out
RACES and treachery, and to trade with US
upon principles of justice. We nave told
her that if she would res cind her orders in
council, in regard to US, that we would take
off the embargo in regard to them. We
have told France the same, but both remain
obstinate and motionlcss.
The people ofGreat Britain are infinitely
more distressed than we are, but there they
obey the laws more from fear, and we more
from virtue. Let it never be sad then, es-
pecially too, as we are in less want, that
political fear is superior to political virtue.
We shall e.told that our embargo is-use-
less and ineffectual--if this is the only rea-
son against it, let us make 1t effectual. Let
us rather try our means TO make it answer,
than to abandon it altogether.

In republican government, like oura

perhaps natural children-would thew
not, if they had the chance of Office, Mr..
Chairman, give their sons education ?
Weuldn't they educate them, if they had
chance for being promoted to these
and such like Offices ? But if the Judges
hold their Offices for life, would they e.
ducate their sons /?
am informed majority of the lords
OF England may remove the Judges. If
this is the case, well, why not the citi-
zens remove them heref Where is the
needcessity Of putting these here Judges
above the power of the people ?

to--we must all live for that-we ought

we stay here but short time, and we
should do we'll while we are here upon
this side the grave. The whole Of every
act, every thing IN this world, should be
for tuturity. To be sure, sir, sometimea
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
But, sir, it is our duty that the laws
should be made for our happiness and
our comfort here.
If the majority Of this committee be-
lieve there IS an honest number of the
people in the United States who viii
not do wrong, then the committee will
vote for the resolution. l am sure there
is an e9,lal number, l hope it will be o
my0rity, for this measure.
Sir, the people ought always to have
it in their power to turn out these Judges.
IF they differ from the wishes of the peo-
pie, they ought to go out: but we have
found out how hard it is to get clear Of
a Judge that does wrong. We have seen
how matters go with these judges-we
have seen it, sir, at Washington, and at
other places-in this state. If the Judges
were removable by the people, it would
keep them straight in their shoes
sometimes, perhaps, they wear boots
but if this mt agreed TO the iudoes arc
