Extract Of a letter from a gentleman at Bal
t;more to his friend IN Georget07Vg, Fec.
90, 1909.
1t has been rumored here that Mr.. Ma
olson has said that the present situation Of
the country is SO critical as to require the
first talents in the nation to extricate it,
his, SAY the full blooded democrats, sounds
Ike appointing federalists (Which by theway
IS allowing that the federaists possess the
best ta!ents). This would be as great an
error rs that committed by Mr.. Jefferson
when he said ''we are all federalists, we are
all republicans, and the minority have their
rights.
: Knowing as these, men do, that Mr..
Madison has wisdom to discern the true m
teresis OF his country, they are fearful he
may possess honesty and frmness enough to
pursue 1t. Nothing would mortify these
restless spirits so much as Mr., Madson's
forming broad bottomed administration,
made up of men Of distinguished talents &
sterling integrity: That he has it in his
power to form such an administration, and
that every honest man in the country would
rally round it and support if, have no
doubt. 1t would be opposed by col, Duane
and all such men as col. Duane bat let
the new administration take their stand on
genuine American ground, and few noisy
foreigners viii not be able to drive them
from it.
"Should Mr.. Madison pursue that course
Of liberal policy to which his interest and
his glory invite, he would, no doubt, be a
bic to rescue the country from impending
ruin, and restore it to the prosperity and re-
spectability enjoyed under the administers
ton of the immortal Washington.
81 have right to respect the talents of
Madison. remember with gratitude his
exertions in favor of the present constitu-
ton in defence Of which he was only Sc
cond to Hamilton. | would feel disposed
to overlook his errors, and to admit that
"even his failings leaned to virtues side"
And when praise was justly due, | would
not fail to pay it with a lavish hand. That
he vii. be denounced by the democratic pa
pers in short time, have no doubt but
if he is cheered by the appreciation of na-
tive Americans, feel confident he will
