precious specimens of the sentiments
y declarations of the federal party eieh,
h ,nths sinee.--The essays from which these
.ex.escted, were copied into most Of the
,ding federal papers Of the Union, st that
9, and were 10 facr portion Of the creed
the federal party. Our motive for re-pub-
ling them, We frankly avow, is to shew
she Inconsistency Of our opponents, the Bit
ernsss and falsrh hood with which they then
4ssailed Mr.. Monroe, and that they will CRU
ify one day, and worship the next, as their
ltercst may dictate We are also desirous
-cf shelving to the deladod followers OF the
mis- Jdsuas, federalism, in what perfect con.
: ,rnpt their understandings are held, and
nat little regard Is paid TO their feelings, by
their /" leading men,.
"The pretensions OF Mr.. Monroe 10 thf
Presidency .--are they not recorded 10 the
story Of the honorable conduct Of that gem
1E.s men, while Minister to--- Revolutionary
Frsnce &C an ne not urge upon our gratitude

the revolutionary government Of France dv.
ring his diplomatic mission, which he told
that government we should "besr not only
with patience, but with pleasure !" h
Wmit not Mr.. Monroe who purchased
the immaculate Henry, persuaded him to
forge tale 70 stab the reputation Of the lead
ing men Of Massschusetts, and who sent OF
the miscrsani in public ship to prevent a
investigation, and an honorable vim.

something superhumsn 10 that charity which

He was the author Of the famous con.
scrip,ion system, which even vsnsl Con-
gress were too prudent or too honest to adopt,
the main.aod chicfend Of which waste h0mi
bic the refractory spirit Of Governor Strong
and the Massachusetts rebels, ss they were
then called" ~.
Mr.: Monroe 10 man whose life has been
devoted TO the destruction OF the federal par-
ny; to the ruin, as far az his feeble and lin.
iied talents would admit, Of his country"
eve owe to Mr.. Monroe as much as to
sny man living, the British war; measure
The more disgracefulto him, because 1t wss
swaged for pretexys which he Rad himself on
b former ocsasioo proved TO be unfounded."
I" There. can be no object in nature more
twortby OF celebration, than the spectacle Of
Astatcsa.eo, who have so often taught Us 10
Sdeiest Mr.. Monroe, suddenly hailing him as
Nhe benefactor of his country, and the object
OF their choice -" The man whom We
have shossha and pronounced to be among
shs woest politicians in the Republic"
-" Ne received his political education in the
school Of the rsgicidss and liberticidcs' of
France, whose conduct he approved, whose
friendship he procured, whose praise he had
the unparalleled mcanness publicly to re-
cstve, altheogh accompanied by disadvantage
eous DETERMINATIONS against the government
he represented" tIst
I" Mr.. Monroe 10 an honest jaeobin at the
heart; he never had the discern mcnt to on
sble him to appreciate correctly the true po-
licy OF great state" Hs IL IS honest as
Carnot 10 the belief ofthc iawfulness and ex-
pedincy of insurrection, and as indifferent as
coy Of the anarchists of France about the
meass. He has poIi,cs, courage to the big
hest possible point, because, with an abundan.
&C Of zeal, he lacks the understanding which
eOabies men to foresee and duly appreciate
conssquenses."
aMr. Monroe is one Of the most donger-
|ous as well As most conte 10 p,ibc poiitieisns in
the United States" !" TO crafty democrat

war, and dex,erously pick out quarrel with
