of what he calls his contempt of de

have learnt that genuine contempt
is never lenuacious, much lefs, an

fonablenefs of this calumny with as

CONGRESS OF 1809—10.
No feffion of Congrefs fuicc the
adoption of the federal conftitution
has, I believe, attracted more atten
tion than the prefent. The peculiar
fituation of our country in regard to
our foreign relations, the commercial
i mere ft of the nation en-.barrafled by
thofe disjointed relations, the re-
folves that had paffed on the fubjefts
of our injuries and our rights, the
difmiffal of the Britilh Minifter, and
the confequences which many fup-
pofed would refult from that mea-
fure, all united to excite an anxiety
in the public mind, and to turn it to
Congrefs for relief from the painful
ftate of fufpenfe in which it la
boured.
Something muft be done, was the po
pular voice through the union ; and,
as ufual in fuch critical cafes, every
(late phyfician gave his prefeription
for the cure of the nation, and in
filled it muft go to ruin unlefs his
direction was followed. Some were
for war, but more thought this re
medy wotfe than the difeafe—Some
unpardonable calumniator that poli
tical degeneracy has ever produced
in this country He fays, he is not
ambitious, while he labors to ftick
himfclf up as the peg on which fe-
deralifm is to hang.—If this ftrange
man have any thing of the hypocrite
in his compofition, his attempt at
deception is of no ufe—his unruly
rage and fwellitig vanity immediate- 1
ly burft the veil which fliould hide 1
the uncouth qualities of his mind, I
and his want of diferetion excufes
him from the imputation of hypo-
crify.
The republicans of New-England
do not accufe this man of cheating
in dollars and cents.— The higher
charge which they bring againft him
is, an attempt to the extent of his abili
ties, under the function of his high of
fice andfelf avowed integrity to aid G.
Britain in her encroachments upon our
national rights and to enlijl the preju
dices and pnffons of our citizens againjl
