federalism which was known anu praclisea

for which Hamilton wrote and fought, and
for which Montgomery tell--that tederal-

view, embraces all characters, 80 far as they
augment the prosperity and the grandeur OF
their country, and which turns an eye OF the
most transcendant disdain on the litile, DIES
picable, mean personal chickering's for office
