Upwards of twenty years have now elapsed since these Blstes were divided between two parties, growing out et a diversity of views, in relation to the fbrm and essence of our govern ment. These parties spring out of our const i- -ution, and the constructions which should ho given to some of its provisions.

The former, however, is most probable.— The virtne of ’99 would have rebuked the ag grandizing ppirit of our leading men, which the laxity of principle appears now to toln-. ate—and it is to he apprehended that this laxity of principle is leading us to the verge of a pro* cipice from whence we may he precipitated ci ther by our own giddiness, or the adroitness of «ur enemy.
