From Frederick county we learn that the

FIVE and SIX han lred.
In Charles county, the seat of correct

Legislature, Messrs. Stuart, Parnham Chap

large ma;orities ard that faithl.Gu u. disciple
of Washington, T. Campbell, esq. the pre-

Extract efa le.ttr fran Prince Ceorgs's, to
the eaiter ef the EaeAia.gton Feacalist,
dated Tuesday October 4.
The four federal cand: datcs of this ccun-
ty are elected by majority of SO votes.-
Van Horne had a majority over Calls of 8.
Calvert county has also elected four federal
lists.
g Van Horne's majority over Calls arose
from several circumstances, principally
i believe, from his real popularity with ma
ny Of the fcderalists, who could not bat
highly approve Of his independent conduct
in Congress either would not vote at
all for the Congressional election, Or voted
for him. Besides, until within week of
the election, it was understood by all par
ties that there would be no opposition to
Van Horne indeed until that time, the
Federalists would have supported him a.
gainst any Federalist the change and the
opposition to him, was occasioned by some
imprudent declarations Of his, at a public
meeting, which perhaps, should not have
excited SO much resentment as they did
You know few men in Congress have been
more decided in opposition to the ruinous
policy of our executive.

underneath this spot

I Underneath this spot
T is allthat remains of mighty conqueror,
NAPOLEON ,BONAPARIE;
+ Who, with inasxible cruelty of heart,
And unexampled derravity ofmind,
Was permitted to scourge the earth, for
time,
With all the horrors OF War:
Too ignorant and incapable TODD good to
! mankind,
4 he whole force Of his mind was employed
In expressing the weak and plundering the
industrious.
His enemies he butchered Id cold blood;
And, fearing to leave incomplete the cata-
logue of his crimes,
He REWARDED SPAIN,
Hrs FAITHFUL FRIEND AND ALLY,
WITH A POISONED CHALIcE.
Whoever passes this way must.be agitated
By conflicting emotions:
Ifhe be aSPANIARD, he must feel the
proud the patriotic exultation arising from
the recollection, that it was reserved for his
countrylnen to rid, at once, the world Of
perhdious and cruel monster, and his dear
native land from the CALLING yoke Of one of
the most treacherous and diabolich fends
which ever disgraced humanity.
IF he be FRENCHMAN, how deeply
must he regret the folly and infatuation of
Gallia's warlike sons in suffering themselves
to be made the blind instruments to crafty
the boundless ambition Of rapacions and
unprmcipled CORSICAN.
He was an epitonle
Of all that was vicious in the worst of ty-
He possessed their cruelty without their ta-
Tents:
Their madness without their genius;
The baseness OF one, and the imbeciiity Of
another.
Providence at last; wearied out with his /
crimes
Returned him to the dirt from which he
sprung
After having held him forth on this Gibbee
AS warning to the future invaders OF
SPAIN:
This Spot,
The only one ia ourland polluted by his foot
steps,
Is all that remains to him of his boasted con-
quests.

Ere you pass by, kneel and thank thy God
Forall the desolations & denominations which
The heroic valor Of thy compatriots (thro'

And continue In the practice of those virtues
By which s.ly ancestors
Merited and received the favors
