A bombastic essay charging that the Whig Party is, like the wolf in sheep's clothing, in reality the old Hartford Convention Federalists, a bunch of Anglophiles in disguise. Their policies, and their conspiratorial "scheme" with England, are "dangerous to the purity of legislation, hostile to the genius of a free government, and directly at war with our constitution."
