democrats in our country, who think, or
pretend to think, that all political virtue
consists in the disposition to persecute those
who differ in opinion from them. Mr.. Shelf
fey is not indeed a federalist in name, but
from the principles he avows there can be
no doubt, that his exertions in Congress will
be directed to the same point with those
members who are denominated federal
But whatever may be his sentiments upon
controverted points, We are supported by
the surest evidence in saying, that he is no
narrow-minded party politicians bne libe-
raj and enlightened statesnaan. 1t is much
to be lamented that spirit Of party should
have grown up in this country SO bitter and
unrelenting as that which we have witness
ed. The existence of parties in afree coun-
try is unavoidable, and if their y2irit is not
carried too high they may be productive of
good. 1t is their violence which is iniuri-
Gus.
Our country has not been afflicted by the
bloody contentious of the Guelphs and Glib
belines, the Cavaliers and Roundheads, the
Adorni and Fregosi but the federalists
and democrats OF this country have mani
tested towards each other the same bitter
ness and implacability which formerly dis
tinguished the wings and tories of England.
This violence may be moderated. IF men
in power would act upon the principles adj
vanced by Mr.. Shelley, if Mr.. Madison
will make ability and integrity the only re-
commentators to Office, our country will be
better served and the administration better
supported than it las been. How worthy
of the chief magistrate of our country would
be such an effort ! How justly would he be
entitled TO the gratitude Of his fellow citi-
zens He would have but one effort to en-
counter the clamours Of those, who de-
rive consideration solely from their zeal as
partizans, who are thrown upon the surface
by the efervescence OF party and will sink
to their proper insigni6cance, when the tu-
multi subsidies. How many men do we know
now invested with the characters of magis-
tlates and legislators, who if merit only
were to confer distinction, would return to
the attorneys desk, the counting room, or
