Ba friends, many mntidenfions claim at
tention, at, on a preprr estininfe of them,
much mar depend of the tucres of thtt
AdmlnTalratlon, and even of the Hepub
linn cause. We bare, heretofote, been
divided into fwo great parties. (hat
some of the leaders of the Federal parly
entertained principles unfriendly to our
at stem of government I have been thor
oughly '. nnvineed ; and thm they meant to
work change in it, by taking advantage
of fvtrable -ttrcumtunres. I am equally
atiified. It ftjpprned that I was mem
ker of Congress, undrr the Confedera
tion, just before the change nude by the
adoption of the present Constitution ; and,
afterwards, of the Senate, beginning
shortly after its adoption. In the former,
I served three years, and, in the latter,
rather longer term. In these stations,
I saw indications of the'kind suggt sted.
It was an epoch at which the views of
toen were most likely to unfold them
etlvetr tt, if any-thing fbvotable to a
fcher toned government was to be ob
tained, that was the time. I he move-
wenrirr Francetendedraltor thenrtoeat
the opinions and principles of men, which
were disclosed in a manner to leave no
doubt on my mind of whnt 1 have sue
gested. ; No darlne attempt was ever
nade, because there was no opportunity
wr it. I thought that Washington was
apposed to their achenuit, and not being
able to take him with them, that the"
were forced to work, in regard to him,
underhanded, using his name and afanH-
ws. permitted, to serve - tlwir- purposes.
he opposftion, which was carried on
iib great firfnnesr, checked the rtreer
f this party, and kept it within moderate
limits. Many of the circumstances on
)hich my opinion is founded, took place
debate and in societv, and therefore
"d no place in any public documents.
m satisfied, hnwever, that sufiicient
Pfoaf exists, founded on facts and pin-
of dhiingulshed bdivUnals which,
became public, to justify thai wblcn I had
furmed.

it was known that the suffrages of my

I reserved to hiiolha offer, which he has
again drr lined. My mind was immedi
ately fixed on ou. though I doubted
whether I eight lo with lo draw you from

where, in case of any emereener, no one-
could supply your place. At thit mo

well know. Out, I think the cause of
these divisions i to be found in certain
defeclsof those governments, rafter than
in human nature; and that we have h-p
pily avoided those defects in our system
The first object is, to save the cui,
which can be done by those who are devo
ted to il anlv, and, of course, by kc.i ping
them together ; or, in other wofds, by not
disgusting them, by too hastv an act of
liberality to the other party, thereby
breaking the generous spitit of the re
publican party, and keeping alive that of
the . federal The second is, to prevent
the re-orirnlxUonAnd JtuvaLcLuhe
federal party, which if my hypothesis is
true, that the existence of party is notne
cessary to free government, and ihe oth
er opinion which I have Advanced is well
founded, that the great body of the feder
al party are republican, will not be
found Impracticable To accomplish both
objects, and thereby exterminate all
party divisions in our country, and
give new strength and sUhiiity to. our
eaauy-executed. I am, nevertheless, de
cidedly of opinion that it may be U ne,
ami should- thf -epemen-sfrv.l,-:.hall

more to the want ot' correct knowledge of

In this way, if is thought that the feel
