T HE ORIOIN AL DIFFERENCES ON
WHICH PAR TIES IN THE UNITED
STATES DIVIDED.
No limn is fitter iliau the present to
Wing1 before the pttbli- the great prin ciples
which, Mt the form niion of tin Government,
-originated the measures which divided the
nation into two great parties. We are now.
lifter all the Uiu.nphs of the Democracy, J
by lite oblique and artful mma geuient of j
the new race of Federal politicians, brought
back to the goal from which the two com
peting parties contending f ir the direction
of the (.Jovernment, started. '
Federalism, as every honest and intelli
gent man musi confess, has for years had
control of the banking system in this coun
try. - Evpry body knows that the Bank of
the Untied States was the engine of Fede
ralism, worked by Mr. Middle, who plied
all its powers to give effect to the designs
of the political leaders of the party. Eve
ry body knows that the Slate banks almost
ir.iversill y co-operated with the National
Uank, by lending all their political inrlti
ence to subserve the same cause. The
managers of the State and National Banks
were, in fact, almost universally identified in
interest and classified by pursuing similar
professions. They were merchants, manu
facturers, capitalists holding slock, and law
yers in the 'employment of the batiks
These men, forming the tram-band of Fed
eral ism, have brought the cuirency and
credit of the country to its present condt- !
iioti.
These moneyed men these paper cred
it men these credit system men have
led the van in all the. speculation, both
among the States anil individuals, which
lias brought on the country the debt ami
embarrassment with winch it is overwhelm
ed. This party, under he Adams and
Clay administration, proposed the gigantic
system of internal improvement wine'!, be
ing rebuked by the election of Ceneral
Jackson, and the veio which he put upon
it as Trcsident, was transfeired to the
Stale Legislatures by their leaders. They
tnet wilh success in imposing the projects
upon many f the Slates.
The bold ami rash haste with which Mr.
Clay at the extra session labored to periect
every lineament of the British system in
that which he proposed, leaves nothing to
conjecture. Hamilton, himself, did not
rush so openly to the embrace of that cor
rupt Government, which he had advocated
in convention, and which he bad secretly
resolved to impose by construction on the
country, having failed to secure it In the
express provisions of the Coitstimtio n.
What Hamilton did cautiously by degrees,
Mr. Clay leaped to in the called session.
He distributed the proceeds of the lands,
the indispensable means of the Treasury',
a is no apparent, with a view to pay
interest on the debts of the States, w hich
was the first step towards an absolute as
sumption. He then proposed n loan to
begin the work of raising that blessing a
national debt. Then be gave us the first
instalment of the increased tariff, which he
has now proposed to spread out, overshad
owing the compromise iaw, which was to
settle this vexed question and jjivt peace to
the conten ling sections an I interests of the
country. Next came the Biuk and the
paper money system, which was to blot
out ihe clause of the Constiimioti unk
ing ours a hard money Government.
That our readers may perceive how pre
cisely all these measures are comprehended
within the grounds of the original disagree
ment in General W ashington's Cabinet,
from w hich sprang the iwn great parties of
this country one headed by General Ham
ilton, the other by Mr. Jefferson we give
& Inter frn General Washington himself
lo General Hamilton, recapitulating all the
points involved in that dissension. Mr.
Jefferson bad, in a long, labored and affec
tionate letter, laid the apprehensions of the
friends of popular government before Presi
dent Washington. He notified him, in
that letter, of his wish to retire from his
etatiort as Secretary of Stats to private life,
but before taking his leave, he w ished to
guard the illustrious President against the
dangerous machinations of tin; Secretary ol
the Treasury to make ours a British Gov
ernment a Government controlled by a
moneyed aristocracy. General Washing
ton copied the heads of Mr. Jefferson'
letter, (and to prevent enmities among the
members of his cabinet, ascribed the si nti
litems of Mr. Jefferson to Mr. ;V!aso:i of
Virginia.) and sent them to General Il.tind
ton, that he might obtain his views on them
all. General Hamilton answered it: a
voluminous leUFr. of which the Tresnleni
aeknow ledged the receipt, but concerning
which he expressed no opinion, saying
that he had not time to do more than give a
cursory reading,' Ttiat letter is, as Mr.
Sparks tnlls us, withdrawn from the Wash
ington Papers. The Hamilton, who have
published a life of thir father, havtf not
chosen lo give fie copy retained by him to
the po lic.
Tne reason for this is not explained
bui if permitted to make a coi j cunc, we
think i very probable reasjti niigM be sug
gested both for ihe withdrawal of ibis im
portant doi;..i;eiil fro ii the pipers of Gene
ral Washington, as well as us suppression
lV -the family of General Hamilton. It is
i.ot improbable thai, in a frank am! confi
dential letter to his fiend, ihe Chief Mag
istrate, who, it is known,- had his doubts of
the success of our republican system, llatn-
illon had unbosomed tne inmost feelings
of the Federal paity in opposition to it.
After the triumph of Mr. Jefferson, every
body knows that Federalism has been com
pelled to veil its aims in this country, and
its advocates have been compelled to ap-
proacn its objects by concealing its princi
ples.
The letter ol General Washington, s'a
ting the grounds of opposition held by Mr.
JeiliTson, shows conclusively, however,
that the ohnoxiou measures ventured on
by Hamilton, are every one of lhem em
oraced in Mr. Clay's extra session sys
titi. TO ALEXANDER HAMILTON, SEC
RETARY OF THE TREASURY.
LPrivate and confidential
Mount Vernon, July 23, 1792
My Dear Sirt: On my way home, and
strife my arrival here. have endeavored
lo learn from sensible and moderate, risen,
known Irieuds to the government, the senti
ments which are entertained of public mea
sures. These all agree thai the country is
properotis ami happ , but they seem to be
alarmed at that system of policy, and those
interpretations of the constitution, which
have taken place in Congress. Others less
friendly, perhaps to the government, and
more disposed lo arraign ihe conduct of i s
ollicers (among whom may be classed my
neighbor and qtiond-im friend Cdom-I
M.,) f?o further, and enumerate a variety
of inapers, which, its well as I recollect.
nay be adduced under ihe following
heads.
1. "That the public de'ni is greater than
e can possibly pay, before other cans, s
of adding new debt to it will occur; and
that tins has been arnficially created. by ad
ding together ihe . hole amount of the debt
or ami creditor sides of the accounts, in
stead of taking only their balances, which
could have been paid olf in a short
time.
2. "That the accumulation of debt has
taken forever out of our power those easy
sources of revenue, which, applied to ihe
ordinary necessities and exigencies of gov
ernment, would have anweied them hab
itually, and covered us from habitual ir.ur
murings against taxes and tax gatherers,
reserving extraordinary calls for extraordi
nary occasions, which would animate the
people to meet them.
2-. "That, though the calls for money
have been no greater than wu must gene
eraily expect for the same or equivalent
exigt-ncies, vet we are alreadv obliged lo
strain the impost till it produces clamor,
and will produce evasion ami war on our
own Citizens lo co'iecl ii; and even to re
sort lo an excise law, of odious character
with the people, partial in its operation,
unproductive, unless enforced by arbitrary
and vexatious means, and committing the
authority of the jrovernment in parts where
rrislanre is most probable and coercion
least practicable.
4. "Thev cite proposition in Congress,
and suspect other projects on foot, stiil to
increase the mass of the debt.
5. "Thev say. that by borrowing at
two thirds of the interest we might have
paid off the principal in two-thirds of the
lime; but that from this we are precluded
by its being made irredeemable but in
small portions and at long terms-
6. '"That this irredeemable quality was
given to it for the avowed purpose of invi
ting its transfer to foreign countries.
7. "They predict that this transfer of
the principal, when completed, will occa
sion an exportation of ihree millions of
dollars annually for the interest, a drain of
coin, of which as there has heed no exam
ple, no calculation can be made of its con
sequences. 8. "That the b . -iment of our coin will
bo completed by the creation of ten millions
of paper money in ihe form of bank bills,
no'v issuing into circulation.
'J. " They think the ten or twelve per
cent, annual profit, paid lo the lenders ol
this paper medium, 13 taken out of the
pockets of ihe people, who would .have
had without interest liie coin it is banish
ing. 10. "That all the capital employed in
paper speculation is barren and us- le?s.
producing, like 1 lint on a gaming-lable, no
accession to itself, and is withdrawn from
commerce and agriculture where it would
have produced an addition lo the comutoi;
mass.
11. "That it nourishes in our citizens
habits of vice and idleness instead of indus
try ami morality
12. "Thai it has furnished effectual
means of corrup'ing such a poriioti of t'ie
legislature, as turns the b dance bj-iwteii
the honest voters, whichever way it is di
rected. 13. "That t''js corntpt squadron, deci
ding the voice of the legislature have
manifested their depositions ui gel rd of
ihe limitations imposed by ihe constitution
on the general legislaiure; limitations, on
lite filth of which the Slates acceded to that
instrument.
14. "That the ultimate object of allihis
is to prepare the way for a change finii
the gresent republican form of governmVni
to thai of a monarchy, of which the Biit
ish constitution is to be the model.
15. "That this was contemplated in tfce
convention, they say, is no secret because
its partisans have made none of it. To
effect it then was impracticable, bui they
arc still eager al'ler their ol ject, and ate
predisposing every tiling for its ultimate
anainment.
15. "S many of them have got into the
legislature, that, aided by the corrupt
scju idroii of paper dealers, w ho are at rieir
devotion, they make a majority in both
houses.
17. "The republican party, who wisli
to pre-erve the government in its pre-ent
form, are fewer, even when joined by the
two, three, or half-dozen anti-federalists,
who though they dare not avow it, are stiil
opposed to any general government; bui,
being less so to a republican than a monar
chical one, they naturally join thos'e whom
they think pursuing the less evil.
IS. "Of all ihe mischiefs objected (o the
system of measures before u.entioned, none,
they add, is t-o arlliclnig and fatal to every
honest hope as the corruption of the legis
lature. As it was ihe earliest of these mea
sures, it became the instrument for produ
cing the resi; and will foe the instrument
of producing in future a kii.g, lords, and
commons, r whatever else those who di
reel it may choose. W ithdrawn such a
distance from the eve of iheir coiistiiuuits,
and these so il.spe.sed as to. be iu;i-cessthe
to public in lor nation, and p--itnctilarl v to
ihai of im: coud te of t ietr own representa
tives, ihey ili f iroi the w hi si g em uii'in
upon carto it t:i. means ol ihur corruption
he n l pre en ed.
li). " i' .e oily hop. of safety, theysiy,
hangs ii.i.v on tne ti'.meroiis representation,
winch is to eome forward the ensuing year:
but s:.ou!d ihe majority of ihe new mem
bers be still in the same principles With the
present, show so much lerel.ciion of i epuh
lican government, and such a dtsposi ion
to eneroacii upon or explain away the
limited powers ol ihe constitution in ordrr
to change it, it is not easj to conjecmre
what would be the result, nor w hat means
would be resorted lo for ihe correction of
the evil. True wisdom, they ackno a ledge,
should direct temperate and peaceable
measures; but, ihey add, the division of
sentiments ami interest happens nnlortu
naiely lo bo so geographical, that no mor
tal can say thai what is most vie and tem
perate would prevail agains w hat is more
easy and obvious. They declare they can
contemplate no evil more incalculable than
the breaking of the Union into two or mor
pans; yet when they view ihe mass, which
opposed the original coalescence, they con
sider that it lay chiefly in the southern
quarter, and that the legislature have avail
ed tlieui- le o) no occasion of allaying it,
bu, on the contraiy, whenever nor. hern
and s. 'inherit prejudices have come into
conflict, the .latter have been sacrificed and
the former soo'hed.
20. "That the o 'ners of the debt are in
the southern, a id the holders of n in the
northern division.
21. " That ihe anti-federal champions
are now strengthened in argument by the
fulfilment id' their predictions, winch lias
been brought about by the monarchical
federalists themselves; who, having been
for tfie new government merely as a step
pingstone to monarchy, have themselves
adopted the very cousti ucttot.s of the con
stiiution, of which w hen advocating the ac
ceptance before the tribunal of ihe people,
they declared it unsusceptible;- whilst ihe
republican federalists, who espoused the !
same government for its intrinsic mei i's, are !
disarmed of iheir wenpons; that which thev 1
denied as prophecy, being now become
true history. Who therefore, can be
sure, they ask, that these tilings may 1101
proselyte the small number, which was
wanting to place the majority on the other
side? And this, they add, is the event at
which tlrey trcuille."
Tnese, as well as mv memory serves
me, are the stn'-i nenis, winch directly and
indirectly have been disclosed to me. To
obtain light ami Vti pu rsue truth being my
sole aim. an ! wishing 10 have before me

occasion. He adverted to the present ca

by turning lhem from his own door-and

What is the malady which afiTcts tl.i
caiintry at this moment, and which has
altiicted it for years back? Is it' not the
15 ink the paper money and credit systems,
hieb has hioughi on a country b esscd
with every natural a -d political advantage,
all the grievances so loudly complained ol?
Was not Mr ('iay. after liaung put do u
the o'd Ii ink of tne tinted States as a for
eign curse, iiregn ant w ilh dangers and dis
asters to our Government and people, ih
founder of the late Hank of lite United
Slates winch ha spread such general ruin
over the nation in nn-rals. in politics, and
pecuniary concern"-? Has he not fostered
the S a e Hanks, and even proposed by
resolution to mvl-thi ir irredeemable paper
the cnrrei.cy of the Civernoient, a:,d re
ceivable for dues to the Treasury? Was
he not ihe ch-impion of th system of in
ternal improvement, which threatened i he
Genera! Government for a time, and which,
fastening on the States, has involved them
in inextricable debt? Was he no: the ad
vocate am! defender of all those monopoli
zing and speculating interests, w hich, un
der the eneourajjf ineut of ihe political and
banking i-dl t'-.t.v which he led, have run
into all ihe extra ig nce that now has its
coi!S!.im:li'..t"o;i iu his bankrupt tiCI?
Ai.d what has been Mr. Clay's share in
the m re recent public events w hich have
placed the Gen-Tal Government in lite
condition of the Sla es and iudm lutds
trie tiiUt to suffer under the in oxicrttioti of
the stimulants administered by banks, driv

author of the Exira Session, and all the,
misrhiefs u hie h it has entailed on the
country? Did not that session and its re
sults run up the national debt to fourieen
millions, at the same tun that tne public
domain neces-arv to ma main the national
was alienated from the purposes 10
w ''''"h it was devoted by the Constitution?
And now, aner a lour monihs session,
what have Mr. Clay and bis friends done
to restore ihe fioa'tces, and re establish the
lrtedit which they found untarnished when
( ihey came into power? ihey have done
I nothing literally nothing. The Senate,
on which Mr Clay to day pronounced
what would have been a few years back a
just eti'oijium. Itas been engaged for four
months in debating abstract resolutions
about the vein power of ihe ('onstituiion,
and abstract resolutions about reform nr.tl
retrenchment, while the very spirit of the
Constitution has been sacrificed to the j er

And now Mr. ('lay tikes his leave ol the
Iviji'dature of the Union in the mit.'si of the

requires the greatest sta esmanship to rem

ling on ihe Secretary of lite Treasury for
information whether the rate of ihiucsi tin
