said Mr. G, did these things, making a

After having contributed every means
in their power TO the success Of the Lo'

dictated to Congress at the last session.

ill your own friends are in power, gen
tlomen. and then take the credit Of the

more agreeable to have those whom
you have assisted in overlhrowing shoul.
der the responsibility of an act in which
they have no faith, and which can have
no other effect than TO augment The in'
huence of an Executive who has violst
ed his pledges, deserted his principles,
betrayed his friends, and disgraced his
country.
