tits gratifying to see, that party violence Is
COOLING down. 1t certainly is SO, and men,
who have nothing at stake, but their farms and
6re-sides, are beinning to think.
Many of our leading Politicians begin to
doubt
Whether wa be not serious evil
Whether it might not, even yet, be avoided.
Whether the same administration, which
commences, will not feel themselves pledged
to continue the war ;-and in short
Whether it might not be prudent to try a

Such, we say, are the queries, which now
arise in the minds of some Of our leading men,

of presenting them; not, he begged it to
be expressly understood, because the me-
norials were approbatory of measures, some
OF which he had voted against, by no means
sir; but because it was thought by some gen
tlemen to whom he had shewn them, that there
might be something improper in the conclud-
ing part Of them; but he observed that as the
language of the memorials was a. least re-
spectful as it regarded this house, and he had
been particularly required to present them, he
thought it not, for him to pass Judgement on
them, but to be his duty to lay them before
the house to be disposed OF as they might
think proper. Mr.. Baker further remarked,
that he thought it but just to say, that from his
knowledge of some of the persons whose
names appear on those memorials, he could
not suppose that they would Intentionally and
seriously sanction memorial by their names,
if they thought it to be incorrect.
The Memorials state that they have the
most full and entire confidence in the wisdom
and patriotism Of their government, and be-
lieve that the measures pursued during the
present session are calculated to preserve and
defend the honor &c. of the country-that they
have heard with surPrize that some of their
fellow citizens are discontinued and disaHeCt-
ed to the government---they recommend the
propriety ofrepealing, amending or modify
ing the embargo law, so far as to permit the
sailing of number of vessels sufficient to
transport all the disaffected who may wish to
avail themselves of such permission, together
with their effects from the United States to
