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 their government. ibid A BEAUTIFUL APOLOGUE.
