The object IS manifczt.-Should tho
votes of New-Jersey as given by th'
people, be necessary. TO Madison, me ans
will be found to receive them should
they be for federal elec.2rs, they vii
be rejected. But this is not all nor even
the worst.
A memorial was aid before the leg.
islature stating that there has been a
fraud practised upon the electors, by
an Inspector IN certain town in the
County. Of Gloucester, which memoir
al is committed. 1t is an admitted fact,
that ifthe facts stated in the memorial
are true, it will vacate the election oil
five sitting members. whose places
will be supplied by four OF opposite
politicks, and thus change the majority
from democratic to federal. But in or
der to guard against the possibility OF
such event, the committee are not to
report till the 10th inst. that in 70 say
after the sitting members have voted for
Madison, and perhaps by their votes,
made him President, although these
five members have no more right to
vote than FIVE of Bonaparte's con-
scripts.
In this manner the two States of
Vermont and New-Jerscy are as COM
pleteIy robbed of their rights, as com
pletely defrauded Of all voice in the
election Of President, as if their votes
were burnt by the common hangman
Of GalIows Hill. Madison may indeed
be thus struggled into the presidency,
but do the Madison faction fatter them
selves that this will be submitted to
Do they believe it will be endured p
No-If / mistake not, zoe shall soon see

A certain great man appears to be
in disagreeable dilemma, having re-
duced himself so much in the estma-
ton of mankind that no one thinks il
worth while to shoot at him. Deplora-
bic indeed must be the situation Of a
general when he cannot provoke even
cahtain TO kill him, especially at a
time when killing would be such a
favour, as it might save him from
further disgrace.

However unpleasant this event may be to
the feelings of all real friends to the lber-
ties and prosperity OF the United States, it
is d paramount consolation to reflect that
there is still political virtue enough in the
country to save it from ruin bv foreign iniiu =
ence. The struggles which the friends of
the administration are making to preserve
the freedom and independence of the Uni
on Will endear them to posterity; whilst
the efforts OF those who are contending to
subject the nation to the payment of tribute
to Britain will merit the excavations Of fti-
ture generations. Well may the British go
vernment continue to refuse to do Justice,
when it has in the bowels of its own country
party which la1ors necessarily to bring us
into English views and humble us at the foot
stool OF n royal power. If ever the time
should arrive when a majority OF the people
are influenced by that party, the liberties
OF this country Will be gone.
1t has never been my practice to inspire
false hopes: &, the More, when say that there
is still sufficient ,itical virtue among the
people to save the republic, assert it under
full conviction of its truth. firmly believe
however much it ought to be regretted. that
Ii all inc elections 10 the eastward as lar
South as New Jersey, were to terminate un-
tavorably to the existing administration, that
1T would still preserve its position supported
by majority of the popular SURFACES.
With regard to the election of Mr.. Madi-
son, there is III my mind not doubt Put
ting against him all the chances, he is still
secure OF success: And in defiance of the dou-
BILE treachery ofhis enemies he will inevita-
bly, triumph in the affections of the people
Letus, against all probability and knowledge
of public opinion, yield to opposition all it
can pretend to on that question, and then
see how the estimate stands:

FEDERAL PoLIT1cs.

The following observations in the
Boston Eepertory---one Of the ablest prints
OF the federal party---are calculated to dis
play the temper, the views and the triumphs
OF that party, consequent upon the late see
ming result OF the elections in New-Hamp-
shire ard Rhode Island. Nothing seems
now too great for their ambition TO grasp at
ihey even aspire to give Il federal Presi-
dent and federal principles to the chair of
Yovernment.---Undert these circumstances,
1t Is the duty OF the real Republicans to rail-
iy around the standard of the Government
ana the rights of our country with enrhusi-
assn ana spirit---to rouse from that letaaigy
which flows from sense Of security and
to cultivate that union, which springs from
sense or Common danger and u participa-
ton of common principles.

Thus, it is seen, chat let the worst that
san happen for the republican Cause, Mr..
Madison is sure of succeeding; and even
were he TO lose ten of the votes which |
have given to him, he would still have a
majority of the electoral voices.
1t does not follow, as thing of course,
however, that because change has taken
place In the representatives. to Congress,
that the same change will operate against
the republican candidate in the electoral e.
lections. Mr.. Madison may, uotwithstand-
ing the recent elections to the eastward. OBJ
tain the votes Of Rhode Island & New-Hamp-
shire.
III may judge by appearances (Which, to
be sure, are often fallacious) there is solid
reason to believe that the electoral vote of
New-York will be given to Mr.. Madison
1t there be any force in a formal expression
otthe popular sentiment, they surely will
With respect to any change which might
embarrass the first operation of a new adj
ministration, it viii be recoilectcd that in
the Senate, which will be decidedly reDub-
hcan, there will be found check even if
there should be unfavorabe majority in
the house OF representatives But of this
there is not much danger: the changes of
New-Hampshire and Rhode Island only rive
tederalists 8eUen members, which will not
essentially lessen the force of the great ma
Jorlty which at present exists.
In the estimate Of votes for president
which have submitted, have placed to the
account oFthe opposition several, which from
my own knowledge, am sure they will not
get. In Maryland, Tor instance, have gi-
ven them .If0e, which is three more tAqu ficy
car frocnre. In North-Carolina have gi-
ven them .four, when deciding by the late C.
lections) it is well ascertained they will not
get SO many and as to the sic given them in
Vermont, believe they have no pretonsons.
We have nothing to do, fellow republicans,
but to keep CHEEKY hearts, and pursue our
course with Misunderstanding step, and We
shall triumph over political artifce, fraud
and foreign influence, bring the nation glori-
onSly out Of her difficulties, and finally re-
ceiyc the bepedictIons OF tAe most of those
men who now oppose us.
