But, as tn writer stu Ates, these men
are not formidable FROM their numbers or
their weight, but their combination. "Thev
form small, bur active band of politician;

directed against De Witt Clinton, as the
man most likely, from his talents and hieh
standing with tue republican party, 10 IN
trrfere with the regular succession. Tns
band IS IN constant correspondence through
ITS associates at Washington, with the al
mlnistration--and all its proceedings at
New York have becn subservient to the
Virginia policy"
In truth. this band mus, be very active
and bold, to be able to WELD so larg.

writer specify the means by which the do

would scorn to be the instrument Of the

the friend OF America and the organ Of

but the impulse of principle.
Here, indeed, is the writer's disease.
