zen and Republican Watch- Tower (newspape,S
published in New-York) has, IL seems, sounded
A. once the tocsin of war against the election of
JANIS MADISON to he Presidency of he Uni
ted States and the kneH of his own departed po-
litcal reputation, In one of his late illusions,
he has pronounced tina, if Mr.. Madison. is elcc
ted, g the external commerce of the u States
will be annihated and morning less than 4 m :
rscle can save the Republican Party from destruc
ton 90
An assertion so impudent and absurd needs
only to be mentioned to receive the ridcule it
dest rves
lie has also published a calculation concerning
the event e the election, in which, Overlapping
all probabilities. and di' regarding every obstacle
he gives majority of votes TO LINTON as Pre-.
silent and MONROE as Vice President, This
srgTge ea'o alton is ably counteraCied by rdti-
onai one in the NewaY D K Public Advertiser. a
paper conducted with great ability and genu.
inc Republican spirit, according to which allow
ing Ciirfon toe voes Of all tbe Fede, al, and of
rSreive Republican Elec ors the votes will proba.
bly, be, for Madison, l08 and for Clinton, 81.
I. now appears to be pretty cert ain (as was
suggested IN the Argus long ago that the con.
test for the resdency will be between Messrs.
Madison and Clinton We therefore hope that
all those lends of Col MONROE, who have ne.
deva,ed from the tue political faith, but
wi,hstanding their personal preference of him 10
Madison, have always approved of the measures
OF the present administ. asion, will, as matters
now stand, determine 10 give their assistance 10
their former associates and brethren in sentiment,
in promoting the cleo ion of The patriotic JAMES
MADISON We trust that none of them viii be
Induced to join the CGniOnians for the sake o.
seeing Col MoNRos placed in the sineoure of
fee of Vice. Presiden.
AS CHnton'S friends are determined TO run hin,
net for the Vice Presidency, but for the Presl-
dency. 1t is TO be pre- umed that the friends of
Madison will look out for some o.her character
10 be placed on their ticket as VIce.President -
But whether they will or not, we crnnot tell, a
we do not pretend 10 be SO deep in The secret, Of
any party, the great and infailibe Game.

At the date Of our last advices, the state Of
Europe was but little changed from what it had
been fOr some lime past, except wi n RESPECT l.
the late revolution in Spain. Some mpor an
changes may be expected the mos prominent o

her remuneration for the rranv losses she ha

Great Britain appears 70 have relaxed nothing
IN her energies for the defence Of herself and her
ally the king of Sweden. Herf rec fot internal
defence amounts to nearly one miliion of men in
arms, of which 800 600 including her standing
militia may b. considered as regulars Her nav,

representation has not been announced.
The following remarks are extrac-

of very late date. Let those disor-
ganiZers among us, who are continu-

British government, and its friendship
for this country, blush on reading these
sentiments openly avowed by the in-
dependent Mr. Bell in the very heart
of the metropolis of England.
