THE REPUBLICAN" ADDRESS.
On the 10Th Of July was published in the
Washington Globe a document purnorting
TO be an address OF the Republican Mem.
bers of Congress" which has since been re.
published in most Of the Administration
Journals ofthe country. We will for mo-
ment glance at the credentials of few OF
these lfstyled Republicans, and aiterward
examine the Address itself
|sFirst on the list OF signers stands the name
OF REUEL WILLIAMS Of Maine, who once
stated that the doctrines Of the Federal par
" were as pure as those Of Jesus Christ -
He opposed the administrations of Jefferson
and Madison, and supported that model OF
| Republicans Caleb Strong, for Governor
of Mass, all through the last war with
Great Britain, when he set Madison at def
ance, and refused to call out the Militia Of
the State on the Presidents requisition -
Williams dow belongs TO the party which
arroga,es to itself all the "Jeiiersonian Dem
ocracy" that exists. Next on the catalogue
is GARRETT ID WALL Of New Jersey. He
said last winter in the Senate
Here, Sir in the presence Of tie Ameri-
can people | avow that was a fderalist,
and acted with that party, zealously and ac-
lively, so long as their flag waved IN New
Jersey"

Again he says

country, the above leaves from he past are
