Look now at the solemn assertions of the ac-
complished Augustus, and could more striking
analogy be found to the Presidents contingent re-
fusai OF his eminent charge? Yes, still more
striking analogy will be found in the speech and
policy of Tiberius Cesar.
Substituting Mr. Speaker Clay, for the Senator
hlessala, aud the analogy would be complete
that every observant reader, would be forced the
conclusion that p. Adams and Mr.. Speaker Clay,
must have consulted Tacitus, and taken the Incl

ing Tiberius with the Imperial dignity, as the mo-
deis Tor their observance, an the elevation of mr..
adams to the Presidency, and Mr.. Clay to the
office Of Secretary of State, the birth Mace OF
Presidents, all for lettering the condition of the
people, Emphasized by their will. Connect those
incidents with the following declarations of the
president IN his inaugural address, and the mind

OF the Presidents letter will substantially appear

years." The writer will here pause, although this
part OF the subject is far from being exhausted to
give time Tor review, for comparison, and for re-
hecton. If the reader should still doubt that The
effects OF the Presidents measures will be- TO con
vert limited government into an Unlimited one,
with or without the formality of Congress, The
writer thinks, that all his doubts will be completely
al ssipated, by accompanying the writer with an
impartial mind, intent only upon the discovery of
truth In the further examination of the Presidents
Message; that the President himself is acting
under the impression that he has already boldly
passed that hubicon, and that no alternatives are
