Yes, Sir, when you approach the fen
ate of the United states, you 60 one ftsp
nearer IS the prelidens, one ffep nearer
the head At power, patronage and cor
ruption. The prefent majority IN thar
body are perfonai friends and advifers Of
the prehdent-thcy are connected by
ohc:al duties. confirm his nominations,
extend the executive patronage, where
by the offices Of the people are made ME
OF as inltrumrntst TO dssaacch and corrupr
them Car you expect luch majority
to hnd one Of their friends guilty, when
the verdict would feal their own con-
demnation
This confolidation Of the different de.
partmcnts of governments, n,ui obferye
TO you, Gr,is one of the high crimes which
this Administration have committed
asinit the contribution and the American
people. For party and corrupt purpofcs,
you have broken downthe barriers, inter
poicd by the conltituion for the iafety
Of the people, between the feseral drpart
ments Of whereby this admioiE
tralion, including the majorities in both
houies OF congrets, nave become one I'M
leayened lump of democracy and opprel
iion Not content with The contribution,
as you violently tore 1t from Walhngs
ton, and IFS other friends, nor content
with creeping uader it, Ieaping over il,
winding round il, now i@ord in hand,
attempting to pierce through il, you have
10 altered it, changed it, x manglrd il, to
iuit your party views & purpcfcs-to per
petuatc your power and miirule--that the
people no logger know or acknowledge il;
no longer ind il protection for their pro-
perry, OF iafcty for ,hrir lives. II is time
,hen, FIR, high time for the people, in
their turn, to look into this inRrument,
to ice if they can heal me wounds which
violence has lnaiSt.d OIL it-rciiore il
toits priltine health and vgour, that they
nav, as at the BEGINNING hpa lairty
and perfection under the ihaIow of the
wings Of the American eagle.
lf this administration can confidently
with the provliions Of the contribution,
ruin the country and oppFefs The people
as they have done, that contribution
ihouid, and mutt be changed. II. on The
contrary they have brought this ruin and,
oppFelllon upon this country in open
violation of that charter, once dcemcd
iacred, then is this administration, with
James Madifon at It's head, common
nuiianee, and ought to be a5atrd by the
people.
We fill hear feeble, though, lfear,
iniidious cry OF union - Unlon, with

Item n, yeu want no aid for that pnrpoic !:
you are completing il as fat as time and
your crimes will permit you. You com,

locks up the money from you. No,
gentlemen, you miitake, il Is common
ienie, aud common prudence which keep

Sir, this country Is in an alarming, an
awful fituation ihe is totterlng on the
brink of luin. The people have indeed
difficult, painful LABOR and duty 10
perform, 10 prots CT themirlves and their
county, againit the aeiperatc ailaulss Of
an opprefiye, wicked administration,
and Of an exafperAted foreign enemy !;
but with the blciiings OF heaven on th4lr
excrtions, they will triumph over All their
enemies Ii is now fad, and think
viii, truth, that the iasAtlon of tins
country depends upon the revival Of IT'S
expiring credit. This the prcient men IN
power cannot accomplish; the adminii
tralion is bankrupt iii means and reiour-
ccs and they have ruined mott q their
t.iends, who have loaned them money !;
