PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The federalists have never, as a body, intended to interfere in the existing disputes of their variegated adversaries. But they are sensible of the near approximation of some individuals of the democratic party, to their own opinions and principles, than others.—For example, they are apprehensive of no deadly hostility to commerce from Mr. Geo. Clinton; and they would expect from Mr. Monroe a patriotic impartiality towards other nations, as well as a protecting solicitude for the real Independence of the Union. From both they would expect greater reverence for the legal and constitutional provisions in favor of liberty, than from any member of the present administration, which has repeatedly and flagrantly violated them.
In states or districts, where the contest lies exclusively between two persons of the party opposed to the federalists, we agree with the Norfolk Ledger, that the federalists ought not to remain inactive. Every freeman is bound to give his opinion by his suffrage. It does not often happen, that he can have a choice between perfection and its contrast. His judgment is more frequently required to make a difficult choice between various degrees of imperfection.—This duty is exemplified and enforced, by what is to take place in Virginia, early in the next month, with respect to the Presidential Election. There will be but two candidates offered, Mr. Monroe and Mr. Madison. Both of them have stood in the foremost ranks of opposition to federalists; but in the present state of things, there is room for a decided preference between them. Mr. Madison has had a conspicuous share in that ruinous system of policy, which has reduced us to greater distress, and sunk us deeper in the estimation of an impartial world, than any merely accidental complication of events could possibly have produced, if counteracted by a very moderate share of circumspection and skill. Mr. Monroe and his friends, on the contrary, have in their writings and speeches publicly condemned the most prominent of those measures, the maturity of which has at length overwhelmed us. They were opposed to the tribute to France, in the shape of settling the boundaries between us and Spain; they were opposed to the act of restricting the intercourse with England; they were in favor of a treaty with her; and above all, they are averse to the continuance of the embargo. They have proved, that neither their sense of the injuries received from England, nor their former favor for France, has rendered them blind to the best good and the fair character of their country. They have, in short, proved that their Republican principles are much less flexible, than their adherence to party.
Whether this spontaneous justice, flowing from the political quarter it does, may, upon a large scale, prove beneficial to their views and expectations, is of no importance to me. It ought, however, to be weighed by the federalists in Virginia, and thus may contribute to affix those marks upon the public opinion, which will serve to distinguish its real tendency. For should the majority of votes for electors, in favor of Mr. Madison, be considerable in that state, the new administration, should any be ever formed under his auspices, will act upon the apparent support of so powerful, important and respectable a state, a weight which will impinge it, nobody can tell how forcibly, against other political denominations. But should Mr. Monroe obtain a majority, those who are to gather up the shattered concerns of the nation, and arrange them again, will proceed with greater confidence, whilst countenanced by such an implied disavowal of the errors of their predecessors. In this point of view, it appears to us, the solemn duty of every federal man, not only to give his vote, but to use his exertions, on the day of election, to ensure the preference to Mr. Monroe.
It may be objected, that Mr. Monroe cannot be elected President, and that we do not wish him to be elected. What the issue of the canvass will be, is uncertain.—But we hope, that eventually it will terminate in favor of General Pinckney. Were there any encouragement to look for the success of federal electors in Virginia, the zeal and patriotism of our party in that
state, would have needed no prompting, to make the trial. They cannot, therefore, give any direct support to the pretensions of that great and virtuous character, though should he prevail, they may smooth the way, in this manner, for his labors, by putting down the partizans, who will give him the most obstruction.
If the measures of Mr. Jefferson are doomed to survive him, let it be our care to preserve as much power from the grasp of his successor, as may be necessary to protect us from entire vassalage to a proud and immoderate party. Let us destroy the delusive impression, that they unite all hearts in the support of that course, which we think terminates in national ruin. It is impossible that they ever can bring into a coherence with their designs, the independent men of Mr. Randolph's way of thinking. Why not, therefore, occasionally give and take mutual support, when it can be done without any collision of principle, and when it must redound to the public good, whether the federalists contemplate the exercise of power, or the duty of an opposition? For it is not merely for the former case that we ought seasonably to provide.—If we are to continue the minority, we may make ourselves respected, and render the majority more moderate and forbearing.—No despotism was ever created, till a surplus of power was obtained, beyond what was necessary for ordinary purposes. While the public opinion wavers only in favor of a party, it will act with more justice, and never without circumspection. When all opposition has ceased, arrogance takes the place of prudence. A permanent embargo would not have been attempted in the early part of Mr. Jefferson's administration. The regulation by treasury circulars, of the supply of articles of food internally, would not have been attempted, in any other situation than a temporary infatuation, gradually produced among the people.
In every point of view, therefore, whether we consult the comparative strength and importance of the whole federal party; whether we regard the necessity of expressing the opinion of the Virginian federalists, or whether we desire to check the most aspiring and the most opposite section of our opponents, it appears eligible, that Mr. Monroe should receive in his own state, all the assistance we can give him.
"STANDING ARMY."
FROM THE REPUBLICAN CRISIS.
IN the spring of 1807, about eighteen months ago, "at a numerous meeting of republican electors" at Albany, of which Geo. Marchant was chairman, and Elisha Jenkins secretary, sundry resolutions were passed, one of which closed in the following manner:—
"That mad career of federalism, which, "under the administration of John Adams, "had well nigh subdued the spirit of free- "men by a systematic oppression, and by "attempts, with a STANDING ARMY, "to silence and overawe public opinion."
This is no common democratic newspaper gibberish. It is part of a formal resolution, sanctioned by the names of high official characters; and as our western readers are, perhaps at this moment, honored with the presence of a few hundred standing troops, for some purpose, we have a strong inclination to measure a democratic sentiment of 1807, by a democratic act of 1808, and thus prove the deceitfulness of the one, or the wickedness of the other.
If the provisional troops raised under the administration of Adams could be justly termed a "standing army," (and such they have been termed by this "numerous meeting") then has Mr. Jefferson raised a standing army; for the nature of things cannot so materially alter in 18 months.
If a standing army is intended "to silence and overawe public opinion"—then Mr. Jefferson is guilty of this crime.
If a standing army is considered by good republicans as a part of a system of oppression, calculated to subdue the spirit of freemen—how much has Mr. Jefferson to answer for!
If the raising of a standing army is evidence of the "mad career" of a party, how mad, how very mad, is the democratic party, at this day.
Before, however, we ascribe to Mr. Jefferson's army, all the evils attendant on that of Mr. Adams, we must consider the differences in circumstances. Perhaps we can shew that a federal standing army was the greatest of all curses, whilst a democratic standing army is the first of blessings. A standing army, of itself, may be a very harmless thing; but the use that is made of it, renders it either good or bad, as the case may be. It is not the army, but the persons who direct it, that mark its character. Now the old federal army, raised under
Adams, was commanded by GENERAL WASHINGTON —consequently it was intended "to silence and overawe public opinion," and to "subdue the spirit of freemen." But our new democratic army is commanded by the virtuous and patriotic Gen. Wilkinson—and of course cannot be designed to silence or overawe, or subdue the people. General Wilkinson is a rare protector of the rights of the citizen! We advise the people on the Western frontiers therefore, to remain perfectly quiet. They have nothing to apprehend. It is WILKINSON'S , not WASHINGTON'S , Army, that has come to protect them.!!
From a late London paper.
COMFORT FOR THE AFFLICTED.
The great philosopher Citofile, said one day to a woman in affliction, and who had much reason to be so, 'Madam, the queen of England, daughter of the great Henry IV. was as miserable as you: she was driven out of her kingdom; she had liked to be shipwrecked; she saw her royal consort beheaded on a scaffold.' 'I am sorry for her,' said the lady, and continued to bewail her misfortunes.
'But,' said Citofile, 'recollect Mary Stuart, she was honorably in love with a gallant musician, who had an excellent bass.—Her husband killed her musician before her face; and afterwards her good friend and relation, queen Elizabeth, who called herself a virgin, caused her head to be cut off on the scaffold hung with black, after having kept her in prison eighteen years.' 'That was cruel,' replied the lady, and immediately relapsed into her melancholy.
'You have heard, perhaps,' continued the comforter, 'of the beautiful Joan of Naples, who was apprehended and strangled.' 'I have a confused idea of it,' answered the mourner.
'I must tell you,' added the other, 'the story of a queen, who, in my memory, was dethroned after supper, and died in a desert island.' 'I know all that story,' replied the lady.
'Well then, I must tell you, what happened to another great princess whom I instructed in philosophy. She, like all other great and beautiful princesses, had a lover. Her father came into the chamber and surprised the lover, whose face was all in a flame, and his eyes were as red as a carbuncle; the lady's complexion was also greatly heightened. The young man's looks so disgusted the father, that he saluted him with the most violent box on the ear, that had ever been given in his province. The lover snatched up a pair of tongs, and broke his father-in-law's head, which, with great difficulty was healed, and he has still the scar of that wound. The distracted fair one jumped out of the window, and sprained her ankle; so that she is now visibly lame, tho' in other respects her figure is admirable.—The lover was condemned to be hanged for breaking the head of a very great prince—you may imagine the situation of the princess, when her lover was led to the gallows. I saw her long after, while she was in prison: she never spoke to me but of her misfortunes.' 'Why then would you not have me think of mine?' said the lady. 'Because,' replied the philosopher, 'you ought not to think of them; and because so many great ladies having been so miserable, it would ill become you to despair. Think of Hecuba, think of Niobe.' 'Ah!' said the lady, 'if I had lived in their time, or in that of so many beautiful princesses, and if, for their consolation, you had related to them my misfortunes, do you think that they would have listened to you.'
The next day the philosopher lost his only son, and was just ready to die for grief: the lady drew up a list of all the kings who had lost their children, and carried it to the philosopher: he read it, found it very exact, and wept as much as before.
Three months after, they met again, and were astonished to find each other in good spirits—They erected a beautiful statue to Time, with this inscription—TO THE COMFORTER.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW-YORK, October 16.
Since the publication of our last number, we have received by the British Packet an English paper containing London news to the 10th September, inclusive, one day later than we had before. We have added the intelligence it contains to our continuation of selections from papers to the 9th.
LONDON, August 9.
There were some arrivals from Holland on Saturday. The papers observe the most profound silence respecting Spain.
If any doubts could be entertained of an immediate rupture between Austria and France, they must be dispelled by the orders issued by the emperor of the French as chief of the confederation of the Rhine, to all the members of that union, for immediately assembling their respective quotas. The whole, it is computed, will amount to 120,000 men.
The principle of the conscription has been applied to such parts of Poland as are occupied by the French troops. It is so rigorously enforced, as neither to respect the prejudices of religion, nor the privileges of birth. This is felt as a very great oppression in a country where a considerable part of the population consists of nobles and Jews.
It was understood in Holland that the French government was making the greatest efforts to send reinforcements to the army in Spain, particularly by the way of Pampeluna. Numerous corps from the north of Italy were said to be marching for the quarter.
Some intelligence from Sweden reached us yesterday. We are happy to find from the official reports, that the late engagements between the Russian and Swedish galleys did not prove so disastrous to the latter as the previous rumors led us to expect. They were overpowered by numbers and defeated, but they retreated without the loss of a single vessel. Their loss in killed and wounded was, however, considerable. The private letters, one of which we insert, give a horrible picture of the excesses committed by the Russians as they retire from Finland. The town of Wasa, which opened its gates to them six months ago, was treated with as great and indiscriminating ferocity as if it had been carried by storm.
On the 3d of August, his Swedish majesty received a report from Field Marshall Klingspor, dated Lappoo, July 25th, of which the following is an extract:
"After the victory obtained by the Swedish army at Lappoo, the enemy have retreated from Lindula and Selmi, and are now at Alowa and Saragreh. The rear of our army is perfectly safe, and a communication has been opened between the head army and maj. Friendt, who is acting against Savalox. Col. Palmfeldt, with his detachment is at Knolarne; and Col. Count Cronstedt has proceeded to Jesjocki; and maj. Od'r has advanced to Raunajocki.—The gaily fleet has, owing to contrary winds only proceeded as far as Wasa. We have taken from the enemy nine boats with provisions; and we have the bridge near Wiruvassi; so that I almost think that the enemy's retreat towards Tammerfors will be impracticable."
Sir James Saumarez, it is said, has signified to the Danish government, that unless the 5000 Spaniards, who have been prevented from joining their countrymen at Langeland, are released, he would immediately bombard Copenhagen.

These far-famed generals, these invincible legions of the great nation, so long the terror of mankind, are now made to bite the dust by the pikes and clubs and knives of undisciplined bands of peasantry, monks and new raised militia; but bands whose experience is amply compensated by that heaven-inspired ardor which can never fail to swell the bosoms of men who are fighting for their existence, their country, and their God.
[Comm. Adv.]
HOLLAND.
By the Packet arrived at New York, London papers to the 11th of September have been received. The London Editor says he has Dutch papers to the fourth, and that the ports of Holland were opened. The Shepherdess arrived yesterday, left Amsterdam the second of September: accounts by her are said to state that the ports of Holland had not been opened. Though the London printed news is two days later than the time at which the Shepherdess left Amsterdam, yet, as she remained ten days in Texel without hearing it, we are inclined to discredit the English account.
The Shepherdess sailed by permission with American seamen whose vessels were condemned or detained in France and Holland. She was spoke by British cruisers in the Channel.
Letters by the Shepherdess say, that the emperor of Austria had acknowledged Joseph Napoleon as king of Spain; and that Bonaparte was raising troops in Holland.
[Balt. Fed. Gaz.]
Extract of a letter from Montreal, dated the 28th of Sept. 1808.
"The embargo has done great good here, Pot ash has sold at 228 dollars per ton; oak logs at one shilling and 8 pence per foot and every other article in proportion; we hope Mr. Jefferson may continue the Embargo for 7 years."
From the NORFOLK LEDGER.
CONSIDERATIONS, too many, and too interesting to the Editor of this paper, induce him to wish to relinquish the duties of Editor of the NORFOLK GAZETTE and PUBLIC LEDGER, after the first day of January next. He therefore will treat for a sale of the establishment with a person, whose views are compatible with the duties of an Editor. The establishment is most complete, even to a superfluity, and there are few situations more inviting, and promising a more certain reward for industry and talents, than this establishment does.
Gratitude and inclination, determine the Editor to attend to the claims of his patrons, by giving a preference in the sale (if to his own disadvantage) to a gentleman of political sentiments congenial with those of the friends of the establishment. The Editor has determined to place the establishment under a direction that shall give the public no cause for complaint. He has too frequent occasions to experience inadequacy to his editorial duties, arising as well from natural causes, as from the pressure of other avocations, not to be sensible of the defects which too often appear in his paper. Experience has proven to the Editor, that to discharge his duties with fidelity to the public, and with reputation to himself, his whole time must be devoted to the paper. Swayed by these considerations, he owes it to the public, either to devote his entire attention to the paper, or to relinquish it to one who will: the increasing patronage which has been lavished on this paper, claims the undivided attention of its Editor. Proposals will be received and attended to, if by mail, the postage must be paid.
PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE, } October 12, 1808.
Editors friendly to this establishment, are requested to give the above an insertion in their respective papers, and the favor will be acknowledged by the Editor of this paper.
DIED, in London, Mr. Henry Furgeson, Aet. 94, a native of America: he was found dead near the tower; and 15,000l. in bank notes were discovered sewed in between his ragged and filthy clothes; the product doubtless of his many years active employment in the asking of alms trade: but what is more astonishing, and will be of more consequence to the literary world, is, that a bundle of manuscript in his own hand writing, was found in his pocket, containing a concise, learned and elegant history of the progress of the arts & sciences in Asia, Africa, Europe & America, from the period of the Roman Augustus up to the year 1808. In his wretched hovel near the city a very valuable library was found; and the antiquarians and booksellers had bid high to obtain it. He was always very modest for a beggar; and was known to have done numerous acts of charity to orphan poor. It was remarked
of him, that when he was out, begging, he was employed either in reading or writing; and being master of the various European languages, and always at home with any passer-by his pleasing address and quaint remarks obtained him many friends. It is not known that he has left any relations in England or in the United States of America.
DIED, this morning, Mrs. ANNABELLA BROCKETT, consort of Mr. Robert Brockett, of this town. The friends and acquaintance of the family are requested to attend her funeral to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock, from the dwelling on Washington street.
At the solicitation of a number of our country friends, we shall commence, on the 9th of this month, the publication of a paper for the country, three times a week, which will contain all the matter and advertisements published in the daily paper. The price will be Five DOLLARS per annum.
Such of our present patrons as reside on the route where the mail goes but once a week, will be furnished with the country paper in lieu of the daily one, unless ordered otherwise.

THE POWER OF RELIGION,
On the mind, in retirement, affliction and the approach of death.
Exemplified in the testimonies and experience of persons distinguished by their greatness, learning or virtue.
"'Tis Immortality—'tis that alone Amidst life's pains, abasements, emptiness. The Soul can comfort, elevate and fill." YOUNG.
By LINDLEY MURRAY.
From the thirteenth English edition, enlarged and improved by the Author.
Price handsomely bound and lettered, 1 dollar.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work."
British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1808.
Goldsmith's Grammar of Geography. Pike's Arithmetic, large and small. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. School Bibles and Testaments, Spelling-Books, Primers, Bonnet Boards Writing-Paper.

ANCHOR TAVERN, GEORGE-TOWN.
Beef Stake and Oyster House REVIVED, BY GEORGE PITT.
FROM the repeated and sincere solicitations of his real friends, and other transient, respectable characters, who visited his house when occupying the above tavern, he with much pleasure, informs them, that it has been completely repaired, and improvements added, so as to make it comfortable and convenient to the weary traveller—retired apartments for the philosopher, or man of business—an extensive view of that beautiful island belonging to General John Mason, river Potomac, &c. A copious and elegant garden, with rural and public walks and arbors, for the desponding lover to meditate on the object of his affections—and the man of pleasure to pass away many a dull and tedious hour. And its being in the centre of the town, near the banks and other offices, and the nearest tavern to commercial characters, renders his situation more convenient to the planter, farmer, and man of business; and gives it a decided preference over any other—to which add the keeping of good and attentive servants; the best of regulations in his house; liquors equal to any in the Union, good beds, wholesome diet, moderate charges, and a determination to use every exertion in his power to give general satisfaction, he flatters himself that he shall meet with that support from a generous and discerning public which his attention and merit may entitle him to.
Gentlemen, and those who act as such, may be accommodated with Oyster Suppers, at sixty-two and half cents each, at any hour in the night, in parties not less than four in number—if less, they will be charged with four suppers.
As the ensuing races are expected to be more respectable than formerly, all gentlemen sportsmen may depend on being accommodated with good stabling, careful hostlers, the best of hay, horse feed of every description, and every attention paid to their nags, fillies, &c.
Private stables for two or three running horses, with accommodations for grooms, &c.
