N) imposing was this opposition, that it paralized the arm of govern ment. Ihe sessions of Congress were spent in fruitless debates—our treasury was empty, our credit was gme, our troops were not clothed, tiiev were not paid, they were not armed, they were not fed It is true our little navy, which better deserved the name for its valor, than its magnitude, had-performed wonders.

nme of the Register—and I praythat my readers will examine it for themselves & judge of its author from the whole of it and not from a part, & as its meaning has been so often perverted for base purposes I hope I shall be excused for referring more particularly to the time when it was written- The Political Olive Branch," by Matthew Carey, has been approved by both parties for its truth and impartiality. IVe need no other evidence of the estimation in which it is held than its unparalielled sale. The extracts which I shall publish, are from the tenth edition—and I sincerely wish that every American citizen would carefully peruse this work, I am sure it would be an excellent antidote for the excessive party violence of the times. Says Mr Adams '-with one half the nation sold to the enemy by its prejudices,'' &c. Says the eral Republican of Nov 7, 18i4,uOn or before the 4th of July, if James Madison is not out of office,^ a tiew form ofgover ment will be in operation in the Eastern section of the Union. Instantly after, the contest in many of the states will be. whether to adhere to the old, or join the new government Madison cannot complete his term of service, if the war continues —It is not possible and it he knew human nature, he would see it Said the Boston Gazette -Is there a federalist, a patriot in America, who conceives it his duty to shed his blood for Bonaparte, for Madison, for Jefferson, and that host of ruffians in Congress, who have set their faces a gainst us for years, and spirited up the brutal part of our populace to destroy us? Not one.—^hall we then any longer be held in slavery, and driven to desparnte pover'y, by such a graceless faction? Heaven forbid.

In June, 1312, the ltev. David Osgood, Pastor of the church of Medford, in a public discourse said. ''If at the present mdment, no symptoms of CIVIL WAR APPEAR, THEY CERTAINLY WILL APPEAR.SOON, unless the courage of the war party fail them and again

These facts were true—but those times have gone by, and the evils which we suffered and with which we were threatened, are forgotten by many, in the prosoerity and happiness which have followed.

Boston paper said "Americans! prepare your arms, you will soon be called to use them—we must use them for the Emperor of France, or for ourse'.ves. It is but an individual who now points to this ambiguous alternative, but Mr. Madison and his c&bal may rest assured there is in the hearts of many thousands in this abused and almost ruined country, a sentiment and energy to illustrate the distinction when his madness shall call it into action The New-York ommercial Advertiser held the following language: -'Old Massachusetts is as terrible to the AMERICAN notv, as she was to the BFJTISH CABINET in seventeen hundred und seventy-Jive.

••This language" says Mr. Carey -was plain and unequivocal. That they intended to produce insurrection and dissolution of the uuion, unless they and their friends were enabled to seize upon the government, regardless of the frightful consequences, it would require consummate impudence to deny it would be lolly, or insanity to disbelieve. \hat might ultimately be their success, it was impossible to foresee."v.J Bee Olive ranch, pages 41, 42 and 43. It was this language wtiich so far deluded the people as to produce the "Hartford Convention Ana was it criminal, at a crisis like this or Mr Adams tosa# that •'one half the nation were sold by their prejudice* to the enemy:" what but prejudice could

I have made this article longer than I intended—I shall continue the sub ject in a future number. May I not, however, be permitted again to request the people to repKd this letter for themselves
