my respect forhis honorableopponenjs,

while they were irrefragable proofs pf

dejiiable 'evidence, that his talents were
hofmore suitable for a President of the
United States, than these sainequali

for the same station. r f

what all the world knows. He wasJa
. decrier of Jefferson, and his republican

father, he was the most sarcastic writer
against, those very men, with whom
we see his name shortly enrolled in his
