60 While We have no doub. the duty cf
appointing delegates win besattended to in

lister or local motives will be admitted to
influence the appointments-buS that such
men may be chosen as are sincerely de-
voted to republican principles, and have the
welfare oftheir country more at heart than
any other object.
Indeed we have never known the time,
when discretion, and vigiiance and union
were more necessary among republicans
than at present. The movements, meet
ings, caucusses, &c. of the federalsts here
at their head quarters so early IN the sea-
son, indicate their intention to make gen.
eral and vigorous struggle at the ensuing
electiGps- we understand that in Bur-
lington county meeting of the most Influ-
entail Federal characters was held on Sa.
turday the 9th instant, to devise and pur-
sue measures for uniting and calling forth
the whole strength of the federal party at
the approaching contest. And by their
movements il appears that at the Eastward
the federalists are equally active as in this
quarter Are the republicans in the diff
ferent counties awake and alert?
