In deciding. however, how a oow ad* ministration ought to be formed, admitting the re* ?ult to oorroipond with the withe* of my friend*, many conttdoration* claim attention, at, oiih pro* per .estimate of them/mtuh may depend or Ilia tuueet* of that administration, and even of tha re* puldleau cauie. Wo hjfvo, heretofore, been di vided into two great |*rtie*. That *ome of the teiilf r*of the federal pjirty entertained principle* unfriendly to our *yi<em of government, I have been thoroughly convinced) and that they meant to work a change i>it,by taking advantage of fa* vorablo circumstances, lam equallyratisfled. It happened that l^aini member of congrott, under tho coufedorutirti, juit before the change mado by Uie adoption oitho preient comtitution; Miul.nf tcrwards, ofthesenate, beginning?hortly after it* Option, lu the former, I served three year*, and, in tho Utter,rather a longer term. In theie station*, I raw indication* of tne kind tugged**). It ww an epoch ut which the view* of meu wera most likely to unfold themtelve*, a*, if any tbing favorpblo to a higher toned government wa* to be ob'amed, that wb* tho time. Tha movement* in l.anco tended, alio, then, tu totthe opinion* and 8?it? ? ?* ? ? ? ? ncrtti* " uouht on my tuiiisl of whutlhaic tuggeited. No iliiriii^ attempt wn ever made, becau-o there wui no opportunity for it. I thought thai Washington wai oppoiod to their ?cheuics, and not being able to take him with them, that they were forced to work, in regard to him, unh-rhunded, uiiug hi* name and t'.andin# with the nation, as far 01 circumstance* permitted, to servo their purpose*. The opposition, which wa* carried on with t{reat firmness, checked lh<? earesT of this party, ami kept it within inoderutc limit*. Munf of the circumstances on which my opiown it founded, took place in debute and in tociety, and therefore find uo place in any public document. I am satisfied, however, that aulfioi cut proot exists, founded on fact* aiul opinions ol distinguished individual*, which bccamn public, to justify that which I had formod. The conteil between tlia parlie* never coated, from it* commencement to the present time, nor do I think that it tun bo laid now to have ceated. You (MWtho height to which tho opposition* wa* carried in the late war; the embarraiiiueut it gavo to the- government; tlio aid it gave to the enemy. The victory at New-Orlean*, for which wo owe *o much to you, und the gallam freemen who fought under you, and tho honorable pence which took placa at that time, have checked the oppn?i? tion, if lltey have not overwhelmed it. I muy add that the daring tnoaiureof tho Hartford Con >' wf-J-h ut.fui.'- ' .? ? loti? bofore entertained, but ucver 10 fully under sto'xl, contributed, alio, in nu eminent degreo, to reduce tho opposition to it* present ttato. It i> under s uch circunMiince* thut the election of u ?urcettor to Mr. Maditon hut taken )ilucv, und that n new adininiitratiou i* to commence Utter* vice. The elnction hat been made by the re publican party, supposing tlmt it hat succeeded, aud of a person known to bo devoted to that ciiuic. How at mil ho not? How organise the udminitlra* tioii, 10 far as dependent on him, when in that lUtioa' How fill tho vacancict cxitling at the time.' My uAudid opinion it, that the dnngerout pur po?e? which I have adverted to, were never adop ted, if they were known, especially in their full extent, by uny Inrfle portion ol the federal oarty, but were confined to certain leader*, and they principally to the Kattward. The manly nnd patriotic conduct of u great proportion of that party in other states, I might, perhapi, say, of all, who had ail opportunity of displaying it, i* a con vincing proof of thii fact, Ilut ?till, Southern and Kattern federalist* have bei-u connected together at a party, havo acted together her' tofore, and although their conduc t ha* been dilftrent, of late ei|*cinlly, vet the distinction between republican* ?nd federalist*, even in the Southern aud Middle and Western status. Iiu sml !????> full" <l?"" To ??ivo effect to free government. und *ecure *il from future danger, ought not it* decided friend* who itood Arm in the day of trial, to lie principal 1* relied on.' Would not tho auociatlon of any of their opponent* iv the adminidrat ion, it?df wound their feeling*, or, at lea*t, of very mwny of them, to the Injury of the republican cnune.' Might it not lie considered, by thoothor party, a* mt offer of comproftii*e wdh them, which would le**en tho ignominy due to the count?It which produced the Hartford Convention, and thereby have ? tenden cy to revive that party on it* former principle*? My impr*i?iou ii that the administration ?hould rcit, ttrongly, on the republican party, indulging toward the other* spirit of moderation, and evin< cingndetire toducriminate between iti memherr, anu to bring tho wholo into the republican fold, avquleily ai pmiible. Many men* very diitin* guiihcd ror their talent*, aro of opinion, thatIhe exitteoce of the federal parly it neceiiary to keep union and order in th* republican rank*: that it that free government cannot anil without partie*.
