COLONEL MONROE.
This distinguished statesman once re
ceived the plaudits of the factions dema
gogues of opposition. Why? Because,
after laboriously striving to induce Great
Britain to make a satisfactory treaty with
us, he at length thought Hint he would a-
gree to the best thut eculd be nbteined,
and reluctantly confided In her futile
promises, when he could procure nothing
better from her, on the subject* of impress
ment. This apparent confidence in Eng
land sceured to colonel Monroe the ap
probation of Piekn ing 8c Ills disciples; for
the only way in which a man can secure
their good will is to manifest a favorable
opinion of England.
Bn* soon n» Union**! Monroe teas en-
allied, by his oiUciol station, to evince the
zeal, talents ft patriotism which he posqcs-
vd in so eminent n degree, in the d. fence
of hi* country's cause: n* soon as his fi
nite:! mind and powerful pen were employ
ed in the exposure of Great Britain,
and in the vindication of hij country’s
rights, that moment did the Janizaries of
opposition level their poisonous daggers
at his fame. With them, now, lie is eve
ry thing impure and dishonest. The in *
ri-iriial worl I will duly appreciate the ea-
iuinnirs of these factionists against the
reputation of a mini whose solid fame and
