ing subject in question, likewise without reaerve. 1 agree with you, decidedly, in the principle that the Chief Magistrate of the country ought not to be the head of a party, but of the nation itself I am, also, of opinion that the members of the Federal party, who left it the late war, and gallantly served their country in ttic field, have given proofs of pattiotism and attachment to free government that entitle them to the highest confidence. In deciding, however, how a new admin istration ought to be formed, admitting the result to correspond with the wishes of my friends, many considerations claim attention, as, on a proper estimate of them, much may depend of the success of that Administration, and even of the republican cause We have, heretofore, been divided into great parties. That some of the leaders of the federal party entertained principles unfriendly to our system of g vernment, I have been thoroughly convinced; and that they meant to work a change in it, by taking advantage of favorable circumstances l am

equally satisfied. It happened tnat I was a member rf Congress, under the Confederation, just before the change made by the adoption of the present Constitution; and, afterwards, of the Sen ate, beginning shortly after its adoption. In the former, I served three years, and iu the latter, rather a longer term. In these stations, I saw indications of the kind suggested. It. was an epoch at which the views of men w re most likely to unfold themselves as, if any thing favo-able to a higher toned government was to be obtained, that was the time The movement in France tended, also, then, to test the opinions and principles of men, which was disclosed in a manner to leave no doubt on my mind of what I have suggested Vo daring attempt was evci made, because there was no opportunity for it I thought that Washi .g'on was opposed to th eir schemes, and not being able to take him with them, that they were forced to work in regard to him, underhanded, using his name and standing with the nation, as far as circumstau ccs permitted, to serve their purpose-.. The opposition, which was carried o a

with great firmness, checked the career of i his paity, and kept it within moderutc limits. Many of the circumstances on which oiy opinion is founded, took place in debate and in society, and therefore

find no place in noy public document. I ant satisfied. nowever, that sufficient proof ' ist, founded on f cts and opinions of distinguished individuals, which became public, to justify that which I had formed. The contest between the parties never ceased, from its commencement to the present time, nor do I think that it can be said now to have ceased You saw the neight to which the opposition was car ricd in tfie late wat; the embarrassment it gave to the government; the aid it ::nc to the enemy.

I may add that the daring measuic ol the Hartford invention, which unfold t d views which had been long before en 'er:ained, but never so fully understood, com l imited ais, in an eminent degree, to i educe the opposition to its present state It is under such cii cumstances th.it :h ekction of a succ essor to Mr. Madison has taken place, and that a new administration is to commence its service. The election has been made by the rcpubii can party, supposing that it has succeeded, and of a person known to be devocd to that cause. How shall he an? How organize tin administration, so far as dependent on him, when in that station? How fill the vacancies existing at tin time? My can !id opinion is that the dangerous ptii poses which I have adverted to, were never adopte d, if they weie known, especially in their full extent, by am large portion of the federal party, bin were confined to certain leaders, and
