ties and became the dupes of arbitrary
power and usurpation, unless they pre-

If ever man had a tough time Of it
with the pen, il IS Mr.. Madison in fran

that he wants materials, nor address to

such rough and stubborn kind that ev-
en- his chissel cant smooth them tits
now from four to five months since by
his own desire, he mounted the war
horse. Will his mt sage tell, what a
goodly number Of millions the iaunt
has cost his country, along with the
lives of some hundreds Gifts brave men,
and that without the acquisition of soIi-
tary benefit that can be named Will
he describe the deplorable plight into
which he has brought his country by
