There is another passage in this l.tte
which | may be justified in reading i
this connection. Its appropriateness
will be felt
"The Feds, and the little band of Quids,
opposition. will try to make something of tn

May | not, Mr. President, slight,
alter the language of Jefferson Of tha,
day, and BY paraphlase adapt it to tn,
| present, and say that those who ,hinl
more of party than Of country, who seel
to make political capital out of every ac
of the government, may try to max
something of the political arrests tha
have been made, but if it does not

THE FALLACY OF THE OPPOSITION EXPOSED. 81
Men boast their loyalty to the Cons II

sentative cf the unity, power and rengtf!
of the government; is loyalty to e eovr
ernment reconcilable with hos Iftv f.
the minister who administers gov,
ernment? The Senator from tuckv

Constitution and the laws, bu Ia. u
