PROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.

il
and yice-President OF the y. States is near
At hand-we had understood that ticket
would be formed with view to promote
.the election of our friends gen. Pinckney,
and the honorable Rufus King but It now
seems that we can render no service IN thas
state BY voting for such ticket. WHO THEN
SHALL WE VOTE FOR! Is the question OF
deep concern to ev cry one ofus Two per-
sons in Virginia, and one in New York, are
held forth as candidatcs-these gentlemen
are. all Of them, our political opponents,
and vet il seems we must vote tor one OF
Them. We shall not enter into an exanina-
ton Of the bretensi0,ss of either Of these
gentlemen, in preference to others m the Y.
,Sates but Of these three We most unaoubt-
edlv have choice. Mr.. Madison was
once a fcatraEst! He has deserted the brin-
r;bles of WAsHINcTok, and become apro-
seIyte to democracy we consider him
as having submitted, without a struggis, TO
the tyrant of the world 7! G FRANCE WANTS
MONEY, and zve must .s1ue ,t'--..or such
man zoe ought not to O9te.
Mr.. Clinton has done much for the colln-
try. and we believe him to be a very worthy
maa and if he was our choice CT the three,
yet we could not, by ourselves, be Ct any
service to him--.his brings us 10 the polns
We lnlist vote Tor
las. MONROE, the cAoice Of the three.
- This gentleman is certainly deserving the
gratitude of his country for the many scr
vices he has rendered it--whilst governor
O. this commonwealth we discovered in him
every disposition toadminis-er With justice,
to treat MS political opponea1s with equai
respect, to concillale barfy As mach as IN his
power lay, and avolded making those bayty
distinctions in appointments to oFfce, whici.
has marked the conduct o. the executive OF
the i. S.
N.r. Monroe differs in political opinion
from us ; bat he is an honest inan--we have
no fears of his marking out the federa-
lists as a political sect, upoI sUliom he zciH
haze eengeance!!.' No, he is not afraid to
trust an hon> st man, no matter what his O.
pinlons about local government may be /; ne
will not promise us 6vead and give us a
stone! :! No, he will use every efforl IN his
power to conclliate our affections, and BY an
impartial and enlightened administration OF
government, UN4TE ALL PART Is
he will acquire the confidence and esteem o.
all good men of every PARTY.
Ear. Monroe viii have It in his power to
settle amicably cur differences with every
ance--this he. will do WITHOUT giving France
money!! or recurring from o.aer na.ions
NOR than a ay, Ittst and 0noratkr,t .b,:-
ton fer pas 4jurles, ana a reasonable sesu-
rity for their tuture good conduct to~ards
US. This ne will accomplish without WAR,
and without any Of those evils aslerdan. up
on war, zultlle zoe ere at peace.
Such, federal republicans, arc our expec-
tations IRON the appointment Of llr. Non
roc to the presidenual chair---i,snce il is that
zUe advlSe every exertfon 70 be made III his
favor OH the day OF election, which may be
consistent, far and honorabie.
Our concurrence with lile political friends
of Mr. Nlunroe pa1ist ens,re him success,
provlset they DO not desert him in the hour
of trial We nave been told thar they zvlN
desert tin, bal we cannot believe IL: il,
however, tIsey do desert him, let US do our
duty.
