III Uo oeucEst oOvefnmeuC n perfect revolution
seems to have taken placs there. This revolution
also goes to rejecting MIR. Ms new aud confirm
ing his old principles and opinions. The Presi-
dents Address most ntellisibly prOclaims this re-
Volution-a paper precisely suited ~ It's objects,
and formed in strict accordance with the true
principles oil eIoquencc and criticism: The ac-
tioI Tor, At east the spirO suited the word. and

in not finding the points Of contrast in the Message

with the Messages Of his predecessors, and the
new Tangled nomenclature Of the 4" National Co
vernrneht,". for the last ten fifteen years. In
this address intelligibly recognised ss Federal

sufficient TO show, that the whole governmenta tai
vocabulary Is about to be changed, and the rights
oil states and individuals 10 be renovated and re-
spected-and il is this most suspicious moment,
that Mr.. NJ. has chosen 10 throw the weight OF
his great name into the scale OF unlimited power,
and to proselyte himself from his old to a new
creea:-abandoning his own republican fame, for
"A IcIn in lafa r.. inn. n
ers and des pcra Ioes. Ii such should be MIR. M's
will, who check il? II this be the inAus ious
moment for proclaiming his proseiytisln, who is
responsible for liz Not those who were once his
political pupils and imbibed their principles from
lessons laugh, by himself, and who now have no
alternative lett them, but repeiing his ne,U doc
trines, or abandoning his old ones-but himself
and his intermeddling friends: they alone are re-
sponsible. Yet il is still hoped the republic will
not perish. MIR. NJ, under such circumstances,
could not count upon much ceremony nor courte-
sy;. still less could he count upon the prompt ODE
dience OF the good sense, sound principles, and
stediast integrity of great majority OF his fell
iow-citlzens, in wheeling 10 the about, upon
the sound OF his great name. The writer meant
to speak freely, not rudely-and sincerely hopes
he will not be found wanting in all due, proper
CEREMONY or even courtesy TO Mr.. Nj. Most sim
cerely regretting the occasion, the writer, with
pleasure, bids last adieu to this most reluctant,
unpleasant subject. He chooses to do, without
recapitulaton, which, if made, could only re-
new painful reflections and cOntempa,ions

Amongst other instances of just conceptions beau
ituiiy expressed i'll this al.-important document,
is the following:
Z" A diffidence, perhaps too iust in nv own Quail.
hcations, will teach me to look with reverence to
the examples Of public virtue left by my illustr-
Gus predecessors, and with veneration to the lights
that How from the mind that founded and the mind
that reformed, our system"
he eralit If
tice, taken of his iliustrous predecess leaves
but little eulogy to any one of them, when taken
collectively yet the judicious selection of the two
models for his imitation" the mind that founded.
and the mind that reformed, our system"-is pc.
cuiarly happy, appropriate and significant. Whilst
the selection has the effect of throwing the whole
OF the complimentary notice upon the selected, it
has also the effect OF another p" antthesis'-a ne
gative pregnant, by way of contrast upon the e..
Guided This happy thought, happily expressed,
is full of Specification. II can only be construed
into one Of the strongest Reproductions of the
abominabie usurpatiOns Of the 90 National Gov
ernment, for the last ten fifteen years. They
commenced during MIR. Madison's administration
with small beginnings, and continued to grow I'M
I'll they surpassed the widest dreams Of oven Mr.
Adains's widest latiiudnarian enthusiasm; and
until he was himself awakened from his own de-
iirium, by the terrific thunder of the voices of
above halt million OF freemeu. The writer halls
with delight this precious avowal, as the sure
harbinger oil better times. Had ever man such
enchanting prospects before? Nothing less than
being canonised the political saviour oil his fell
