Restoration of American Commerce.
The joyful day on which this event took place, has been celebrated by the Federalists of the principal towns and cities throughout the Union. The gladness of heart which has been manifested on this occasion, speaks a language which cannot be misunderstood by Mr. Madison. It is the highest encomium that could possibly be pronounced on the first great act of his administration. By this spontaneous expression of approbation, the federalists have put in practice the precepts which they have ever inculcated, and more fully substantiated the fact, that it is not men, but measures, which they contend for.
From the numerous patriotic Toasts, which the occasion gave birth to, we select the following :-
Federalism-A rising sun in a clear sky after a tempestuous night.
"Rise Cynthia"
T. Ln. President Jefferson-
"Take him for all in all.
We never wish to look upon his like again."
"French March."
John Adams-In the vigor of meridian manhood, his pen was wielded in the cause of truth and freedom-if age has made him weak, it should not make us ungrateful.
"Jefferson's March."
The Embargo-It this day suffers the pangs of its dissolution. "Here lies a coward" shall be written on its urn.
"Demolition of the Bastile."
Simon Snyder--The political magnet that attracts all the dust and rubbish of rebellion
"Rogue's March."
