therefore will require no locks, which are only
used to overcome ascents, and to raise or depress

ference to the unintriguing simplicity of an
Adams, or the sterling independence of a
Crawford—the man who is said to rule your
cabinet by arts, and an address, the most
subtle and the most captivating.
The world demands, by what means it is
that this man has obtained so great an as
cendancy over the President of the United
States. They ask, how tt has happened
that Mr Calhoun should have succeeded
in indulging his animosity towards Mr
Crawford and promoting his own views, by
persuading you to the series of appoint
ments which has astonished your country.
Was not Mr McLean the personal friend
of Mi Calhoun? Was not Mr Southard a
friend to his election? Is not Ninian Ed
wards the notorious Author of the A. B.
scheme ; the persecuting enemy of Mr.
Crawford, promoted to the Mexican Mis
sion,at the instance of Mr Calhoun^ and
over the head ot Gen. Harrison ? Are there
no reasons to suspect that it was this very
/i. B- plot; this rank hostility to Mr Craw-
ford, which formed no inconsiderable re
commendation to the friends of this ap
pointment?
Sir, it is time to arrest this extraordina
ry influence, which mildews your adminis
tration. Shake off the little vermin which
beset you. Teach Mr Calhoun his proper
place in your cabinet. Make him discharge
his duties as Secretary at War, faithfully ;
bin let him feel that the President of the
United States has no occasion for a keeper
of his conscience, Call your old, your ex
perienced, your best friends around you.—
invite them to open their hearts to you; for,
James Monroe has yet friends enough, who
love him, and who would tell him the truth
without disguise.
Above all, Sir, it becomes you to fact
the present cpsis with spirit. This cot-res-
