This result does not exhibit the full
majority which Republicans actually
have in the state; because the efforts
of the Federalists we're more strenu-
Gus than those of the Republicans.
But even this is sufficient to prove
that any hopes Federalists NAV enter

bringing New-Jersey over to their
side, are as iallacious as their cause is
wicked.

SIR,
With that consideration which IS due to
the Chief Magistrate Of our country, would
the lnhabitants Of the town Of Bath, assem-
bled IN town meeting, beg leave most res
pectfully 10 approach You. Submission 10
the laws, we consider not As an ordinary
duty, but, at AL times, our first and hest
obligation and however hard may bear
any imposition, vet, if called for by nccessi-
~, and adopted b. the govcrRmcnt IN ma
ture and deliberate reflection, we feel that
we must and ought To submit We there
fore would not presume to question the Wis
dom, or investigate the policy OF any law
which has been sanctioned by the cOnsti-
tuted authorities. We have met to express
our wishes, rather than our opinions, and 10
assure YOU with what anxious colcitude we
wait the removal Of Durthen that has al
most exhausted our strength, and is now
pressing us to the ground TO prove this,
we need not relate private embarrassment
or individual calamity we exhibit a town
IN distress.-DepeHding altogether on com
merce, and but Just growing into life, the
people ofthis town feel the Embargo Pc
culiar grievance. The sight Of the ships
tnat Inc our WnarFeS more IMAM nile IT
length, while it reminds as Of past prosperi-
ty, embitters the reflection Of the present
times Unless relief can be afforded, the
property viii soon be wasted and lost for
ever.
lie suppose that our government can have
any other object than the happiness and well
fare Of tie people, the patriotism that CLOVIS
in our bosoms forbids us to believe we
tr;lst that when they have the power, they
will not want the disposition to grant re-
dress NJ grievances and we sincerely hope
the time is now arrived when the President
can take of the embargo, and neither haz-
ard the public safety, nor commit the pub
liz honor. II this can be done, we will not
undertake to declare. with what Joy we
shall hail the morning when the noise Of
business shall once more wake US from our
slumbers.
With sentiments Of the highest venera-
ton for the President Of the United Stalesi
with hearts devoted to our countrv's vel
fare, and readiness at all times to make
any sacrifice for its security, the inhabitants
Of the town Of Bath, by their committee,
would tender you the homage Of their high
respect.
