ONE SPIRIT ANIMATES THE WHOLE
A late Boston paper contains the following paragraph. The conduct of the President of the United States, says a correspondent, places in so interesting a point of view his truly illustrious character as must endear him more than ever to his grateful and admiring countrymen—his disinterested refusal of all pecuniary emoluments—his mild, conciliating language—his strongly implied opinion in favour of such alterations as shall improve, and not injure the constitution—his truly republican address to the Senate and House of Representatives—all prove him, beyond controversy, the same amiable, honest, and GREAT MAN, the same real and unaffected friend to the PEOPLE, he always has been. In being elevated to the first place in the Union, he does not forget that he is still a citizen: And the manly style, and truly democratic simplicity with which his first official communication is introduced, make us think that we heard the great Fabius addressing the people of Rome, after having saved his country.
