mars popularity among the Germans, his
se,ionai reipedability, and excellent PHI
,vak character, made him extremely for
r1;dah.eto Ms Kean. There remained but
Jingle alternative, and that was to get
clear Of General Mahlenburg. This il
feens is accomplished by the preGdent OF
| the u. States by obtaining from Mr..
George Latimer the Office of Collector Of
the Port Of Philadelphia, nd-giving the
appointment to general Muhlenburg.-
ttc,e is no other perfon among the reeub-
l;cans from whom M'Kean has any thing
1 10 fear, The election will then depend up
cnvhe numbers which che oPpoGte parties
can count. Senator Rofs, one Of the perfons
who was fclctted by Duane, as proper
fabica for Aurora les, is M'Kcanis oPPo
neat. IfMr. Rofs's conduit and eharac-
ter are as fair, and vii! bear as good an
inveGigat;cn in all other things as 1t has
done in the cafe now alluded TO, j IS TO
be hoped that he may iucceed.
The preii,ent has played another part
of The fame tone in Virginia. The con-
aitu,ional term of Mr.. Monroe will ex-
pire in a few months. 1t is OF great in
po:tance TO get fucceaor to fuis the views
ofthe proficient. year ago it was thor
that MIR. Giles conld not be oppofed by a
ny body with the leaf prolpet of fncesis.
The community were led afray by an ig.
ri; fatuns the people were deluded BY
'deGgns, which they did not fufpett, and
were nat prepared to expole. While MIR.
Giles was clamorous member of Con-
grcfs, nothing extraordinary was feared
from him. The probability Of his being
governor OF this fate has routed the dor.
,mant, the numbering energies Of honeit
and virtuoss pa:riotif!n. Good men o.
both parties contemplate fuch an event
with horror. They conGder the rc!peet.
ability of the fate upon the tottef. In
this general temper u diiconteat which is
extended to every federalia, and takes In
great many of tie other party'; the name
OF Mr.. JOAN Page has been mentioned as
candidate. There is an uniyerial tenti-
ment in favor Of MIR. Pages election. Sucf
is The excellent and aniable department
OF this vrtuous, candid, upright man, that
his election would be grea, fcP towards
healing the disturbances which have been
produced by the fadious. Every man
who wihes to Zee focial harmony, infteac
Of fat,ious difcord, locked to the election
Of MIR. Page with joy. But fhort and t'an-
fitery has been this Joy. The PreEdent
has al at once diicoyered that Col. Will
liam Heth ough, to be removed from his
Office cf collector, and that Mr.. Page
ought to haveit. IfMr. Page goes into
that Office, the PRECEDENT, no doubt, thinks
that Mr.. Giles is fure of being elected
governor. /, is not neceFary at this place
TO fay any thing concerning Gel. Heth,
except that there is not the fhadow Of COM
plair, againR him.
