cookery OF your dish OfIener than ypur
kitchen servants. Should you stop at
Philadelphia how melancholy mustit'
seem to YOU; M'Pherson's band Of cock
ads boys are dispersed or grown up into
democrats; no federal mObs there nov to
sing Hail Columbia, and H1zza for John
Adams, and lerrily your oppOssrs; Hop.
knson's tyre is ou: Of tune, Goblet and
Liston are gone, the Quskers are for the
living President, and your old friend,
Joe Thomas, | am told can scarcely
find duds to cover bis Rakedness, am
surprised that you did not make him a
judge. ri a.e.l R
| beg pardon for this digIession, but
let me advise you TO take wafer at the
federal city and land at the nearest port
TO Quincyi the coincidence OF your old
eonlederales, all along from this TO Qun-
cy, and the silent contempt Oftho multi
tude, will be too hard for You TO bear,
so soon after your fall, and may deprive
you Of the little reason you have lett.
But TO return TO the review OF your
administration as respects your ondeaV'
Ors TO plunge the nation into all ;hs hor-
rOts Of war, after you had found that the
X, Y, and 2, labricatOns did not blind
Inc people sufficiently to their own in
teresl; and after you lOuud France would
not be provoked by you iOa declaration
of war; that they had prudenlly OVelOOk'
cd all your bullying rhaPsOdiss, and Of
fered To meet you IN the work Of recon"
citation, on The terms yourself had pro
posed, you Insulted the patience and good
sense OF the American people, by with
holding the public commune atlons.near~
| " ,hrougoul whole session Of Congress
and then after some ofyOurtergiVeTsa,ionS,
pat The business OF negotiation IN such a
rain as has kept the country more than
two years longer in state Of halt war,
which has destroyed some ofthe most val
liable branches Of her CONNIE rec, and
left the staple and essential article OF to-
bacco in the hands OF the platter, or
obliged him 10 sell il at one third Of its
real value 10 British spectators, who
have fivslfOlded the price Of The French.
You came 10 the administration, Sir,
under the most favorable auspices, at the
time if there were parties in this country
they we're by no means hostile 10 eaci
other; when the increasing revenue was
sinking the public debt; when the feder
| al judiciary held share af popularity in
this country, and were regarded with re-
sDect; when The contributions towards
! tho pubic expense sat tolOIabiy easy on
fae people-when this country was con
sidered as the asylum for the oppressed
Of all nalions, aud there was a great in
| 1ux Of foreIen riches, industry and lngen>
ally when this country was happy in
The freedom Of speech and of the press,
when the constitution was considered a
blrrer against legislative, executive
aud judicial entertainments, and before
tue people were divided into CASTS OF
gentlemen and simple men--he(ore Off
ces, places, and contracts, were consid-
cred as the exclusive right ofthe favor
ito cast. Reflect lille, sir, and see
The awful change made in four short
yesrsv ] will give you a slight view oI
liz. You commenced your career, sir
b professions, which promised to unit
ali honest men TO you, but they were
mere proiessions--your mad zeal fO
monarchy and Britain, your hatred Of ra
tional liberty, your love Of pomp, your un
happy selection OF favorites, your regard
Ilessness Of the public treasure, the hare
earnings Of your fellow citizens, has div
ded lho people ihlo parties, 'and foster
ed among them, envy, malice, aud The
most rancorous hatred towards each 9th
er-father has been set against son, anC
son against father--brOthe. against broth
er- me gibbons and friends have los
their former relish for the social ENJOY
/ ments.
Under your administration, sir, sys
tenn of appointments has been established
BY which implicit faith in your inlallbili>
ty, and mack OF discoloring truth be-
came the only qualification 10 office, or t0
enlitle person 10 contract.
| Under your administration, Sir, useless
and expensive embassies have prevailed
to an alarming degree. Officers and Of
fces alnosl without number, have been
created and appointed, all out of the Fal
vorSd cast-while merit and abilities
have been Gsregarded ;-Capable, dis.
cerning and popular men have, by YOU
aud your ministers been dischrged from
lie service Of their country, without be-
| lihg vouchsafed a reason iorihsir degra
dation Your administration, Sir, has been
! famous for contacts, there is not doubt,
/ but Ii future, the secret records your ma
wv Office will be studied by your friend
WIN. Pitt, and those he wishes to give
lavorile contracts lo--there the Oldest,
and the wickedestBriiSh spectators may
learn new modes Of managing OdVanla-
geously about contracts.
The udcary, Sir, under your uniow.
