These charges haye not the merit ol noveliy to recommend-thera ; they em brace the ohT federal ground of attack a gainst the ; Republican .adroinisirations of Messrs. Je fTersoh and , UdisonH These are the charge which ttie fede ralists hafef sounded; on the tocsin of opposition against every measure of the gorernment from the tr of the pur chase ofLouilianato this day, including a measure, which, perhaps-more than any other, baa been considered a. politi cal teat. , VVc allude to the'Erabargo, j which has been denounced by the whole host of federal writers, with MrV Picker ing at their head; as the result of a com bination of those motives which Mr. Smith has imputed to Mr. MudiscMV The attack in his book, therefore, tboV studiously confined to Mr. Madison, 4s aimed as weir at Mr. JefTerson and the Republican Dartv : and the refutation of Mr.' Smith's general charges resolves itself Into an enquiry into the correct ness of the general policy and measures of' the Republican administrations. It is useless to aUempt to make a distinc tion between them ; . the policy and measures of both administrations are identified ; . and avowed federalists, at least, hare the candor, to place them on the same footing. ; We shall pursue the coune of investigation to1 which Mr. Smith's charges obviously iead, by en quiring ioto U The correctness of the general policy of the Republican admi nistrations ; 2. The expediency of the measures to .which that policy has gi- ven rise. What; then, we askhas been the ge neral policy of the Re publican adminis trations? Their policy has been ; To support all our rights equally a- gainst both belligerents ; To endeavor to preserve peace by ' the adoption of restrictive measures instead orbostilities,in the first place ; . To make rational preparat ion for de fence in the event of war ; and . A Above all, to avoid a submission, to either belligerent; by entering into war against the one, whilst justice was refu sed by her rival. ; The unanimity of the popular senti ment which has accompanied this sys tem of measures, almost precludes the necessity of argument in its support. A few observations howcver.may not be amiss. 4 -The United States in 1 607 found their rights at once assailed by two powerful belligerents ; each equally the aggres sor, but each claiming a preference from us to the exclusion of her antagonist, on the inadmissible pretence that her mea sures were merely retaliatory. So long as our, rights were injured by both, it was not lor me unueo states to enquire which first commenced the violation of nauonal.law by which ovir commerce was distressed. These aggressions on our rights. were sufficient causo for war against either ; and had we had on,lytone power to contend with, that remedv would doubtless have been resorted to. The! spirit of the i people would not have brooked any other coursb. But we were at t once assailed by Ureat-Bntam and r ranee. Submission to these usurpa tions of power by the belligerents was uniTerially . scouted; . Resistance was determined on, witli scarce a dissenting Toice in the. nation. ,t - The only question was as to me mode j 01; resistance. 11, as me Hotspurs 01 the day now affect tto, tejl us, Jwar was the only bonoxable -resort, tor a redress of grievances,' we must at that time ei ther havo waged war against, two j na tions,- themselves in arms against each ouier, inua engaging an it iruiiics u uu dangerous experiment ; or, -we roust hAve 'selected our antagonist,, and in so doinc have succurr ed in the acts tf the one- power,iar which -we made war on the other.; Jn the eloquent language J out late miiiistcr tb'JFran.ce,,.. "it is in .deed true, thai were thepcople of -the 2 uniiea jtatestccsuiuie;oi poucy, 01 honor and of energy as had been m. 44 sinuated) theyimiht have adopted 'a u system of cUscnmmatioii.between the w lw 6 great "belligerents : 'they" might!

' .'1 ' Tempdrary commercial -restrictions were therefore "resorted to with the view of subsututing'war for them, if the cause of our" complaints was not speedily removed. This aftornative was adopted the more readily, because it was obvious to every unbiassed judgment that in the existing state 'of things -no commerce could be carried on with safe ty to the prosecutors, much less' to the general advantage. The correctness of this opinion, advanced by Republicans on the floor of Congress and through the nadon, subsequent eventsrhave fully pro-" -ven: The present rate of exchange be tween thi country and Europe, and the late distresses in. New-York and else-, where, arising from the return of pro tested bills drawn for produce shipped to Europe, undernhese' eircumstances, during the teraporary suspensiori of our restrictive system, have afforded a strik ing illustration of the fatuity of those who at that time argued that a lucrative trade was cut off by our restrictive system Some few perhaps, of those who em barked in so hazardous ; a commerce, made prosperous voyages arid acquired princely fortunes ; but far-greater is the number of "those whose all fell a sacri .ficc to the adventurous spirit which prompted them to stake their capital on a hazard, compared with Whidv the cast of a die was demonstrable certainty. .There were indeed at that, time a mong the Republican party many ho norable and worthy men who favored what was called a more energetic course; whose voice was for war with . all the embarrassments which, under circum stances, would have attended it. But would the government, by placing it self in that attitude, have exhibited more energy than by that which was substi tuted for it By energy we understand that innate spirit which exhibits itself m' deliberate and efficacious action: hot that impetuosity of feeling and spirit which prompts us to enter into promis cuous conflict, but that determined reso lution which promptly adopts the course reason points out as the mott likely to prove'cfficient for the object .in view. J It vas deemed more consistent with the energy of a neutral,' seeking only a"re spect for her rights from those who agi gressed on them, to essay to obtain it by refusing intercourse with the offenders than, by rustling into a war, and endea voring thus to obtain a respect for our rights, to forfeit its character of Neu trality, and at once become party to a disastrous and perhaps interminable con flict. It remains yet to be seen whether we 'Shall be, permitted to avoid tins last resort ; whether we shall not be compel led, abandoning all hope of the efficacy of reason, to appeal to . torce. zje tms as it' may, we shall, have deserved -the respect of the world for. our efforts in support 01 the immutable principles ot jusuce ; ana snail moreover nave 00- tamed onebject hc . government has had steadily in view, and has endeavored to accomplish by means icf its festricUye sy stem ; mat 01 maucing' one 01 inei beUigerents to retrace its tteps, leaving us only oneto contend with, and narrow ing the field of controversy with that one. , But why, it may be asked, employ our time .in proving the propriety; and in- rdeed necessity, of at first adopting the poucy 01 opposing: aggressions on our rights by commercial restrictions, re commended by Mr. Jefferson, rand ai proved by Mr. Smith inoommon with Mr, S. might have approved the embark go, we replr (although we ' doubt the fact ; he has not claimed credit for it hi his .book; his pbjecdons to subsequent restrictive measures, which he ascribes; Xo the Influence, of Mr. Madison, jah'ta the principle on whichhb; first restrict tions jvere founded ; and are predicated,' in iaci,as stated beiore,'ontederal ground.! the rrieasurea o wVjeh :the restrictive system gave rise, to some of whieh Mrl Smith has stated lust objectionsy and raaae xnem tne ground of & charges? against Mr. Madison; VC-Vv I nXmi 1.8 of renriblican' eovetnment The. tupexaropledwrptigsanfiictedupp bv the bcllicef Ct powers,? haive dravf n our country to an awful crisis. riSheP pealS'ior support .in 4ms nouiwv4 -w the patriotic feelings of -alKigeriuine mericahs "Shall; we then encourage the f monstrbussprtensions ot fbf eign pov?W ers, oy holuing ou; incapiaMtf dliarTection and division at hbm e or shall we TOtTalJyTrnrand united around J the standard of our country evmcmg:a. determination W transmit unimpaired to posterity those dear.and in valuable rights which have been handed down to us,cohsecrated by the blood of our fa- thers .' - "' v!
