Prospect is taken of the measures and debates
ofCongress during the last Session, We have
reason to think, that we have fallen on cyl
times.
Whilst the Chief Magistrate Of the nation,
has been studous 10 preserve the public peace
and promote the general welfare, and 8ough' TIE

Fiod OF oar political history. The decoram
of debste, he dignity OF high offio,a, station,
the decency Of Language, and respect for tried
Public Sergants, were all disre gadcd by mil.
titude Of members, who had, II is presumed
passions to CRAFTY and selfish objects 20 s'tsin.
The NEST important subjects of national policy
and legislation, cid no, receive the attention
they reqhited--some remain unsettled and 9th
crs have been defeated. The time Of Congress
snd the a0ney ufthe people. have been wasted
upon party and frivolous objects Of Individual
qualification, to the neglect and destruction of
the great interests Of the nation.
Whilst c acquit he members from this dis
trict o! pariic PIT on IN opposition so fac
tous and mlschieyous, we cannot but censure
all who have Contributed to it. end though to-

principles of the constitution and Official du

lections correct such abuses By Diminishing frors

ofthem.
Reso'red. That we have fall confidence in
