When tina. great and good man orrn, pied the presidential chair, believe he commanded no portion of that gentlemens respect.
 Mir. H. here quotes some remarks from the Memoirs of Mir. Jecrson respecting the character of the ted' cras,s during the embargo of iao7-lle also qnoesa remark or two ol Josiah Quincy; and proceeds:
