matter Of the Florida treaty.
Mr.. Adsuis says that the desigr of Northern
Confederacy was formed as soon as Louisiana was
annexed. Mr. Monroe reminds Mr.. Jefferson Of
the early opposition to secure the navigation Of
the river Mississippi to the southwest: Massas
chusetts was at the head of that conspiracy.
The attempt to shut up the mouth of the Missis;
sissippi was an effort (says Mr.. Monroe) to give
such q shape to the Union would secure the
dominion over it to les Eastern section. AT that

to make New York New England State

Louisiana, in order to place Of deposit for
Western produce, that paper exclaimed, indeed
sufferable, aud il advocated shutting up the Mis-.

Mr. Monroe. in the letter to jefferson, says thai
the Federal party Contemplated an arrangement
on the distinction solely between slsve-holdng and

Passing over many facts, for want Of space, We

lowing as denoting the hostility oS New England
to the war of 1912, which it deemed god causs,
