little doubt but eat Republicanvamt *gain chows for
that State. 6.)16
Louisiana has elected bqtprisent Republican Re-
presentative.
It will be seen then, that diongh partial changes
favourable to Federalism may have taken place in
Vermont, Pensylvania, and Maryland, they are
much more than counterbalanced, by changes the
other way in New York and New Jersey, besides
what may be expected even from Massachusetts.
The result of our estimate will appear in the fol.

This sort of estimate of party power 1; rather in
invidious task, particularly at this moment, when
on had rather see the two great parties striving which
shall most zealously serve and promote the common
good, than counting noses to asreriam which is the'
strongest—but as our opponents are already singing
hallelujahs for their vast acquisition c.f strength, it
would be wrong not to expose their unfortmitate tots-
take. We have, therefore, made a simple statement of.
facts, which cannot but operate as a st:dative to their
premature transports.
We need not add, after the above estimate, that
in the Senate of the United State, there mast be, for
two or three years at 'cast, a decided Republican ma -
poriiy.

PHILATILITICA, OCTOBER te;
Great adtiitiona are ,peei3ily to be made lsy Con.
Kress to the direct taxes ; additions which, if we are
correctly informed, will • more than double the land
fax of the present year. The direct tax of this ) ear
was, in its terms and provisions, extremely oppressive
on tins city. We were charged with a much larger
sum than our fair proportion of the State's quota.—
The whole sum charged on the State of Pennsylvania
for the direct tax of the present }'ear was 365,479
dollars 16 cents. The tax of next year will probably
be 630,958 dollars 32 cents. at least.
The proportion fixed on the city of Philadelphia,
by the act of Congress, was 79,000 dollars—between
a touith and fifth pact of the tee paid by the whole
State.
'rue AMERICAN Pnestnear.—The George Town Fe.
derdl Republican contains the following article :-
1!‘ We speak it. not in the joy at our hearts, because it
ispei:s a prospect of relieving the country from tyranny
Ind jecoainitm, but in the bitterness at our sorrow,
1-ec4use it iota induce consequences the most griev-
Oh.; and asetul; hut, we believe, and for some time
b ,ve believed, that there is no hope of preservii,g this
union six mow lis it six weeks, unless Mr. Madison
iesvis, or is reniovtd from office. The storm is cUs-
tinctiy seen above the horizon —that it will pass inr,r,
and may lay waste our country, there ceases to be a
doubt. We give it distinctly as our belief, fonnded
upon observation, with good opportunities of forming
an opinini', that the general government will dissolvt
in its own weakness before the Ist at July, if there be
not peace, or Mr. Madison is not out uf office beore
unit day. Our object, we aver, is not to excite a
false alarm. We speak not in a menacing, but a
monitory spirit. That in our hearts we oepiorc, and
would unite in the most energetic measures to avert
such a calamity, we trust no one is disposed to doubt,
but we helieve it to be inevitable. The obstinacy of
the President, his i„tuorance of human nature, and
his total destitution of sensibility, will ensure the pur-
' suit of a policy which will hasten instead of averting
the catastiophe which we would stave off."
