the circulation Of his valuable newipa-
per and our own, thcie papers cannot
fail Of an extenfive peruial, Especially in
this fate and il is as certain that they
cannot fail OF giving fevere blow to the
reputation and popularity of the Jeffer-
Ion cabinet.
That popularity is already upon the
wane. Of this incontetible fast We give
the following proof Thete is good
authority for flving that,at the late cleo
ton f>r congrcf,, or federal members
were chcicn,a ci.cunltInce which mas 40
precedent in the annals OF Virginia,
Once, and only once, thar party OBJ
tanned three. This was in the nraggi-
docian reign Of John Adams and iuch
an imporranc acquiliIion has been OBJ
talned, although che republican MAORI

! is PLAN, therefore, that the Jefcr(on
lntereit IS upon the decline and while
the federal editors are railing with fuch
ttupld malignity at the democracy of
this commonwealth, they would do we'll

their farther comfort we take leave to

routed The magiltracy, by an irreiil}a-
bic majority, remains, where it long has
been, in rhe hands OF thoie horrii EEL

In tPltc OF the new arrangement Of the
wards, he has been rccholen with every
clrcum1tance OF viCtory, and Of triumph,
which could Hatter the ien(ibijitics Of 2
man, who has dcicrved AMI acquired the
confidence Of hts fellow citizens. AS
man Of buiinels, and man Of fortune,
che office was, in a pecuniarq point OF
view, far beneath his acceptance. Bur
every man Of prooiry, every man of
public tpirlt, was fully Iatisiei with his
conduct. A grear majority of the citi-
zenS ar large, and far greater majority
OF the men OF properly in Richmond,
were determined that, # LIE do6forwouid
