The Boston Centinel gives this just counsel:
"Let all honest men, of whatever party, unite in opposition to an administration that has set the Laws and the Constitution at open defiance: an administration that has seized upon the whole public money of the nation, and assigned its custody and temporary use and benefit to partisan agents: an administration that has converted the Post Office into a vast machine for electioneering purposes, and thereby squandered away hundreds of thousands of dollars upon unprincipled partisans. Let all high-minded and intelligent men leave off quarrelling about constitutional subtleties and imaginary grievances, and exert all their energies in resisting the obvious aggressions of a partisan government, and the country will soon settle down in harmony and general prosperity."
