The sessions of the Legislature in Pro
vidence aßbrded an opportunity of collect
ing and comparing the opinions and feel
ings at individuals from every part of the
State, and we can declare to our fellow
•Risen*, with truth and satisfaction, that
thb result of the most impartial inquiry is,
« that the publick sentiment is unaltered,
' and that It demands no innovation in our
J late policy, nor any change of our .General
Officers.
f ’ Our nominations are the same this year
ar the lest. We adept this year the tome
< system we did tbp last:; a system of "Can
tour, of tolerance and moderation. What

Igr experience to be beneficial. Incur se
lection of Candidates we are totally op
posed to the indiscriminate sweepiag ex
clusion of gentlemen whose political ssnti,
mentson sene points may bo adverse to
eor Own. We deem it correct in princi
- pie, and useful in practice, that publick
sentiment and opinion should be represent
ed m all its existing varieties and modid
catioM. A contrary conduct, (when kis
net forced upon an by necessity and self
dettoto,) can only be dictated by an ex
eaaaive party aeni.
‘ This system had the direct sanction and
cordial approbation of the present Chief
Magistrate. Upon the plan and principle
of Coatfatas he came ewe office, upon this
plan aad principle only can he consist

and approbation of the people, and io en

the last year comparatively composed.

Our Democrats whisper in private cir
cles that they calculate with confidence on
the result of the ensuing election. A*
honest by-stander having requested one of
them to explain the grounds of his hopes,
be replied—St Tammany ! St. Tammany!
St. Tammhny!
The letters published in the Norton Art-
JWrt, stating that Mr. Jackson’s conduct
was disapproved by his government, were
too capital a falsehood to be casually lost,
and the Pat-Riot Editors have given them
a eecvnd publication. This new mode of
disseminating falsehood verifies the old
proverb—a miatake twice stuck to is as
good as the truth.
Our old democratic!^ ditty that the gov
ernment of Great-Britain were most de-
Ughffally dtopiosatrl with Mr. Jackson’s
conduct, appears to want nothing but truth
to make it a most delectable story. Mr.
Jackson’s government, after all, happens to
approve of his conduct.
