It is curious to observe how ß-.ert who
have descrv cdlv lost ihe cotifid rice of die
public will writhe and twist, in onh r to pre
serve a contrary appearance. The New
Castle leaders, in order to console one of
their most active members for former dis
appoint metits, have deft mi in.
.el
to send bim
to the Legislature, for the twofold purpose
of gratifying his ambition aid promoting!
their favorite object-—a bridge over the
Christiana creek
pposite Newport.
The erec'ion of a bridge at Newport,
which has for its object the enhancement of
private property and the gratification of in
dividual resentment
would be an • ffectual
blow a. the ir.tv iests if the
Wilmington
Bridge Company."
It was the iq ration of he New-Ca.lh
leaders t» havc platt d their champion in th
Senate. But how was this to be effet ted ?
1 be sentiments ol the people . f the county
were too well known to hazard stub a pro-
positi' n. No : I he popular and respecta
bic nain, ol Dr. Ab xau.ler was broughr io j
it was known he would
t' » View
resign, ;
- ;hç event proved,—and then, forsoo li, I
New Castie hundred alone would have had
the selection r f ihe Senator. Bur the spirit I
and good sense of the people pn vailed, and, !
- usual, they were disappointed. | t mar i
.is
lie tiotv reasonable so
ppost-d that the highlv j
r.-sp, cta.de name of Mr. Bird was made use !
ol ior the same uuw irtir, purpose. Ii seems
he, also, has resigned—md a more suitable
person is to be appointed in his place. It is
hoped the people of ihe county will prevent
this—the design only warns to be known to
lie defeated.
It was not enough for the New-Castle
readers to endeavor to palm listless and ex
pensive roads on the public_
tr> erect a
bridge over the Christiana at Newport,
which would almost bring destruction on
the leading interests of theeountv_;o make
overtures to the I'cdernlisis on the morning
ol the election, in order to deprive the De
mocratic Republicans ol the Senator oft, ei
sir
choice—but,
to c: ;i the
climax, they are
now about to take- advantage oi their virili
ty to the seat oi justice, to send a member
to the Legislature
contrary to the w ishes
oi the people.

we are pcrsua'lcd.lliat it is in the bosom ol the
British tyrant—and that whilst he lives and

on our independence in all the changes lie may
make of bis ministers.
This considérât on is now become of the
highest interest to us, since the dismissal of
Jackson—and also the consideration of the
character of Ins present minister. Are they
men who are to be expected to pass by without
resentment the rejecting of their ambassador.
The more we reflect, the more are we per
suaded that ibis will not be the case. Jackson,
there is no doubt, had instructions from his
government, to assert what lie did. Awning
gave the lie to Mr. Madison and his coirwguesi
whilst debating in the British commons, and
Jackson only repeated theordets ofh.s muster,
in proportion therelbre as British insolence
was encouraged by our former submissions, in
proportion will be the rage of that ministry on
being foiled in their most desperate attempt to
pot the last fuiijliing blow to ear i.i'.kpendcucc,
