A PAIR OF PATRIOTS!
Messrs Monroe and Dallas, appea*
drawn to the life, in the following pic
tures, from the pencil of Duane. We
hope that the general will favour us with
the Biography of these two eminent Ea*
(riots to whom the nation is under such
lasting obligations. If these politica
worthies could behold the features ot the
own characters in a glass, as. they do t »e
features ofthair faces, they would de
clare themselves as well satisfied as th»j
honest Irishman was, who, when cxa
mining his on portrait, exclaimed, by m)
shoul honey, I don’t know which is the
original, and which is the pictuie.
MONROE.
From Duane’s Aurora.
The silence which prevails throughout
the United States relative to the impor
tant election of a president, now near a*
hand, whilst it strikes awe into the minds
of many true friends ot civil liberty, i>
impudently asserted by the false profes
sors of democracy to be a sure intimation
of unanimous concurrence in opinion in
favour of a particuiar ^ers n. \\ ith as
much propriety might it be alleged that
the silence of the French or Irish, indi
cates attachment to the bayonet* tha
surrounded them. There is, indeed, a
universal silence, but is it the cflect
love for Mr. Monroe? ask the large mi
nority of republicans w’ho upheld Mr.
Crawford—is it the effect of the sincere
confidence of Mr. Madison & his friends r
a-k those, who,by prociaming Mr. Mon
roe to the nation as one who had degraded
his country by an ignominious, tieaty put
Mr. Madison in the president's chair : is
the effect of warm attachment on the part
of the people themselves ? ask the 65
members ot the caucus.
XT.-. I if \Irmmo ivn« flip rhnirp of
the nation, if the people would have elect
led him, if no other man was as lit and
'popular, why were not the people trusted
with the choice ? why was the question
'decided by mute balloting in a caucus r
j why was it necessary? Would all thi
intrigue, bo necessary lor a man general
ly beloved or confided in ? Did W ashing
iton or Jefferson stand thus before the peo
ple? No, no—it is because the people
are not unanimous lor Mr. Monioe, that
their right to choose was rendered nuga
tory in caucusses; it is because the sys
tem of corruption combined between tht
general and state governments i-> so com
Ipieteas to supercede public opinion; it
j |s because the holders of offices leared tht
elevation by the people of some other
(man, that they have managed-to paralyze
! tha mass of the newspapers.
All this is in the fortieth year of tht
republic—& under a republican adminis
tration ! But—says somebody—<mr affairs
go on well, we are free: yes truly, oui
affairs go on well at Washington, ut the
treasury and the post-office—we have a
bundance of bank paper, and we are go
ing to have as much more, in express
violation of the constitut on ; our member.
of congress too go on well, they are de
termined to have their share of whal is
doing; our public officers too are going on
well, they are determined to hold their
places for life—but, still, we are free ; O,
certainly we ure free, provided we do as
we arc desired, like good children; we
are free to write, provided we say noth
ing about abuses, and we are Iree to speak
provided we say nothing about the open
insolence of office-holders, and we are
+n nrmided it is far men fixed
upon in a caucus:—suiely this is freedom!
who can doubt about the matter? but whe
ther it is exactly such freedom as the he
roes and founders ol the republic, intend
ed to transmit to their posterity is ano
ther cpiestion. For my part 1 think this
boasted freedom ot ours i3 much like the
freedom of the French, when they were
asked to elect a first consul and emperor:
they all voted to be sure, but it was for a
person previously elected in Paris ; they
voted, but it was in the sight of creatures
ef government ;and they all voted for the
same man, because corruption had silcnc
ed every voice that might be raised iu fa
vor of another.
DALLAS.
It gives us pleasure to be able to record
even one single act ol self-devotion and
modesty on the p^rt of persons never be
fore supposed to be capable of the like.
The secretary ot the treasury of the U.
States, having understood that the people
of thi^ district, were exceedingly anxious
that he shouldior the first time submit
himself to the order of an election, au
thorised his particular and confidential
friend the publisher of the Press in this
citv, to announce his high sense ot the
honor intended him, and to assure them
that nothing but a higher senseU duty
could induce him to be reluctant ; that
he had been in office himself for nearly
thirty years, holding several offices at the
same time, that alibis sons and sons-io
•aw, of age, were now in office, calmlj
enjoying the fruits ot their numberless
•< merits on the score of service, that he
was at present secretary of the treasury
of the United States, and expected as
soon as he retired trom that station to re
sume his torrner one, which he had lent
'o Mr. Charles Iiigersoll—that in the^e
circumstances, a sense ot gratitude for the
y,ast, as well as of anxiety for the future,
induced him to take the hesitating step of
lecljning their intended honor, tne more
espectn1' as he anticipated fi* oppugna
tiou,” i?»vhich he.hud ever been averse
tlnce fte last White Hwse meeting. He
farther said that he was truly sorry to see
*o much contention in the ranks ot hn
dear republican friends, and that lie made
the sacrifice ot his own fame on the altai
of conciliation, only praying that the sup.,
port intended for himself might he kindly
extended to the remitter"of the trea
'Hie dear friend ot the secretary having
thus throw n off a load of thanks aud pro
testations, sat down amidst the sighs and
,obs of all beholders, when the sou of the
secretary rose and said, that he hoped the
meeting would have a due sense of the
acrifices thus made by the secretary ol
the treasury, and in order to afford the*)
an opportunity, which he knew they
wanted, to express their gratitude, he
moved that an history of the disinterested
conduct of the secretary shnu*d be en
graved on brass, and annually exhibited
on the 4th of July $ the motion was second
ed by the son-in law of the secretary who
promised to have an account of the whole
proceeding sent by mail free of expence
to alt the towns on the continent.—
Whereupon the motion was earned una
nimously and Mr. Randall was appoint
ed to call the Wards together, in order
to take their sense about the propriety ot
going into mourning tor thirty days at
feast, in token of the heavy loss the na
finn sustained by reason of the modesty
of the secretary of the treasury aforesaid,

an awful Picture is here presented to our

and deceit—represented as 'aughing out
right at the most solemn obligations, tam

reeking in the stow of treasury corrup

brought you to the very vestibule of de
struction-they have iiilcd the country
with poverty and misery—banished the
circulating medium—dried up the foun
tains of revenue—exhausted public cre

ed the snows of Canada with American
blood. All this they have done—all this
and more—they have seen our sea-port^
blockaded by an enemy ’s fleet, and at
every moment threatened with destruc

DANGERS OF FRENCH PHILOSO
PHY.
It is a common subject of congratula
tion. that the French Revolution has ati
length been brought to a termination ; that
t is a volcano burnt nut anti now perfect.]
I y harmless. But this ia true only to a
certain extent, the fierce and san^uinaiy
conflicts of opposing parties—the shock
ing violations of every principle of justice]
and humanity—the mock trials—the mid-]
night murders—the wars carried on for
gratification of one man\s pride and
ambition—the reign of upstart usurpers,
all these ate at an end. But the total
neglect of all proper education* the ab
sence of all religion, the contempt ini
which the most sacred moral duties are
held, the spirit of egotism which renders
a man indifferent to the relations of pri
vate life, all these, the fruits of the Revo
lution, have given to the French charac
ter a dreadful deterioration which cannot
oe removed and remedied on a sud
den.
It is not too much to say the i evolu
tionary governments were less terrible
for their military spirit, their insatiable
ambition aud their aggressive disposition
than for their destruction of all principle*]
and the fostering influence they constant,
ly exerted upon the worst vices of the hu-]
man heart. In this point of view, then,
we sav the French Revolution is not at
an end.-Vie have been led into these
remarks by some facts which have Jately
come to our knowledge. Of the politi
cal situation and sentiments oftlie French
people, w e shall vainly attempt to obtain
any accurate information from the French
papers ; but they afford some insight in
to the m ral state of France. Thus one
of these papers of Monday last says:—
“ Have our more frequent communica
