Madison, some in The most explicit terms,
others IN terms ct more caution. Commodore
fuHton, IN his toast at Philadelphia, labors
| To prove that Madison has been and is a fe-
lderalist.-ih Baltimore, under the auspices
| OF H. G. Harper, they hail him, in still more
deceptive terms: The President of the
United States; a fortunate mistake he was
elected tor 81 partZan he proves himself
patriot chief" The North American shakes
his wise head, and expresses doubts of Ma
disons conversion. AS to the late dc8loc ratio
festival at Washington, he declares that it
Is one step, at least. beyond the annals of
the former administration that such schism
among the citizens of Columbia was unknown

ucells." Be cautious, Gentlemen. What
has Mr.. Madison done, to entitle himself to
your praises! His adjustment with G.. Bri
tain was exactly conformable to the Non In
terconrse law. Mr.. Jefferson would have
done the very same thing Remember Ma
olson IS the very same man, whom YOU have
so lately hailed as French partizan, and as
your most invetcrate enemy.
