GOOD NEVIS.

The election for members Of Con-
gress took place in Newhampshire on
Monday last. There are about 2I9
towns in the state. Returns from 100
towns give the federal ticket 1929,
and the democratic 1914, making a net
federal gain Of 2593 over the number
the iederalists had at the election in
1904, which was the last time it pre-.
vailed till the present. It is now deci-
ded almost beyond a doubt, that the
federal ticket for members Of Congress
viii gain majority Of upwards Of
5000. On this suspicious event, we
congratulate the citizens Of that state,
on the election OF men who will sup
port policy calculated to promote the
interest and prosperity Of Newhamp-
shire, and not that Of Canada and No
yascotia. Men who will not pursue
measures which compel the farmers
and merchants Of New-England to see
their produce and navigation perish on
their hands, whilst the British provinces
enjoy almost the exclusive trade Of this
continent.

THE last week having furnished no
European intelligence of a later date
han was given in our last, has enabled
us to give place to several political
communications which our readers will
find worthy ofperussl.
The publication Of the Treaty nego-
ciated by Mr.. Monroe between the u
nited States and Great Britain will be
concluded in our next.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Jefferson could
have amicably settled all disputes be-
twixt the two countries, still there are
men, and not a few, who stile them
selves friends to the people, are con-
stantly declaring that It is necessary to
withdraw from our commercial pur-
suits, in order to avoid war. But where
the truth is known, it will be impossi-
bic to deceive the public with such
barcfaced falsehoods.
