present their views, and felt himself bound in
science to resign his seat, and did so accordingly.
Now it is fact we'll known. that there are several
Senators in Congress opposed to the Administration
and its measures, while the States, which they re-
present, are decidedly favourable to them. But do
we hear of any designations by those Senators. on
that account ? We could mention at least seven
Senators, who would resign Immediately, had they
the conscience Of Mr.. Adams, whom they oppo
sing contrary to the will of their own States. 1t
ought not to be expected, however. that such men
will resign. If they have had the hardhood to OPP
pose the most salutary measures. in defiance of the
will of the States which they represent it is not to
be expected that they willnot merely change their
course-but give up their posts to those who will
truly represent their constituents. We would, how
ever, beseech these gentlemen. if they cannot bring
their minds to an actual and immediate resignation
that they would peruse carefully, every morning be-
fore breakfast, Mr.. Adams letter of resignation to
the Legislature of Massachusetts. We would not
do the injustice of estimating them by the same
standard by which Mr.. Adams might be tried be-
cause candor would compel US to admit, that in
learning, in science, in principle in morality, and
talent they are far his interiors. We beseech them,
however, that they may daily peruse Mr. Adams
letter ofresignaon, and far obge their constitu-
ents to moderate their hostility, even they can
not aspire to the virtue Of giving in their designations
