Returning to our main subjecs, we
TASK again, why should the president
call Congress? Has Timothy Pick
Lering turned patriot: Has Gardeni-
Ter given mp his English predilecticns!
Has Mr.. Randolph ahjured his politi-
Cal foliies and resolved to become a
consistent man, and a friend to his
Ecountry What nery event has trans
|pired? The letter from the Duke of
Galore to Gen. Armstrong had been
published in all the newspapers and
was universally accredited before the
last sessionof Congress closed: And
what did the federalists but, more
particularly, what did Mr.. Randolph
do, with a full knowledge of the exis-
sence Of thatletter! Why, Mr.. Ran
ldolph moved and insisted on the re-
duction of the army and navy! Yes !;
at the very moment that twas declar-
ed BY the French minister,ef foreign
affairs that France would or had seiz-
ed our ships and merchandise, Mr..
Randolph made along speech for re-
dusing the only force we had in exis.
tence. What then could the presi-
dent expect from call of Congre So?
Why, the same Vaccinations from FL
notify Pickering and his clan:--the
same absurdities from Mr.. Randolph.
There would be much. talking---the
Newspapers would be filed with
speeches made up of big words---eve-
ry5ody would be dissatis6ed--a pee
|vishness would seize on the minds of
men--and Mr.. Randolph, the very
genius of Anarchy, would exuit in the
general confusion. In fine, it would
be ridiculous in the president to call
Congress, unless that body were com.
posed of men k'loson topossess the con-
.6denee of the people, and determined,

and beneficial course of policy.
