journals of Congress show the gradual de-
cline of confidence, on the part Of members,
in the Chief Magistrate, and history records
that in these days Of our greatest disasters
the President OF the United States was en-
gagged with his myriads Of office holders in
perpetuating his government; for already
invested by circumstances with and exer

by Kings and Enperors, ambition reigned
supreme in that bosom which should have
cherished only the loftiest patriotism.
