The only role in this country, is the Con-
stitu;ion-ihe only lawgivcr 10 the Republic,
is the viii! of the majority.
1t james Madison has abused his high
functions, the remedy is laid down o. the
Constitution-he may be reached BY In
parchment.
If he is asriouS to pursue improper mea-
snres, let the majority ut the peoples Repre-
Sentatives, the Congress of the u. 5. set their
faces against him, vote down his measures,
and strip him of the power of abuse.--This is
the only check upon hin-and we are bound
to presume, it is i sufficient check 1t is the
check pointed out by the constituuon-and
not the dicta!ion ut a violent opposition, the
olamor of an inturiated faction.
There are many many generous and noble
spirits, who belong to the Federal Party, that
will forget the distinctions of party to serve
their country. We acknowledge lheir worth
we bow with reverence before their yir-
tues. And the men who administer our at
fairs, ought to be proud II avail themselves of
their talents.
But there are or the other hand, a set OF
dissatisfied men in The Eastern States, whom
no concessions can corCii,ate, whom no de-
mands, no conduct OF the enemy can rpsse to
vengeance, and who seem Wiling 20 run ev-
cry risk, even though it should dissolve this
blessed union into aronis, sooner than unite in
the present prosecution OF the war;
Citizens OF The Eastern States awaken
These men would have you believe that il is
Mr. Madison whom they are opposing that
1t his administration when they wish TO SUBJ
vert ; but they SNOW that these views are vi
sionary, and that MIR. Madison will not be
driven from his post
We call upon you, then, to consider What
these men are metitatiRg, what wild schemes
OF disorganl2a.ion they hav@ dared TO Ill
Guige.
