IT is now ascertained, that the contest for
the office of President will be between Mr..

said as to the advanced age of Mr.. Clinton,
that my attention has been insensibly drawn
to that subject.-The annexed TABLE ex-
hibits the ages of those who have heretofore
filed the Office of Prcsident-the period of

the duties of that Office, and similar state

As you have been good enough. Mr.. Edi-
tor, to communicate few of my thoughts TO
the good people OF these states, take
the liberty as citizen of the world, and
from the most remote part to address them
again.
1t is first necessary to make known, that
my cousin Sousong, who resided in PARIS,
about twenty years since by order of our en-
peror, to obtain useful information respecting
all the nations of the world as they related to
China, gave information, that your present
great Mandarine, who then lived there as
minister, was Of opinion, that our maxims OF
government, to sell ali to strangers, which
we did not want was wise, ard the msre SO
as we only took IN return cash
The reason Of this policy is good and sim
pie as relates to us, as | Will tell you The
Chinese empire is composcd of a great mum
Der Of nations, all Of which are so advanced IL
useful arts and manufactures that they have
very little or no occasion to go out OF the
empire for any thing. All the Inhabitants CT
the United States, would make but small
county, comparatively speaking ii, China, as
we have three hundred and thirty millions Of
inhabitants You cannot therefore pretend
to initiate .us-Y Your situation no more resem-
bles ours than that OF an infant does a grown
person Your habits, customs usages and
occupations, are altogether different from
ours. and are without doubt calculated to
advance your national prosperity if persist

Eactract ola letter fro N a gentleman at
Washington TO The Editor Of the New
york Herald, dated Dec. IL.
" was last night informed by one
Of the heads Of Department, that our
affairs lOoAed more gloomy no7v then
ever. That we should probably have
to choose between going to war with
England or with France-It being UNI
derstoOd that France had put in force
the Decree of Nov. 1906, and thus Civ
en- us as much ground of war against
her as we could have against England,
even if she persisted in refusing repara-
ton for the attack on the Chesapeak.
BY the way, however you may rely up
on it that England has proposed TO
make that reparation, acknowledging
the attack on the Chesapeake to be
both unauthorized and uniustihabIe.
| think (but on this | speak as | ought,
with doubt,) that the Administration
will prefer war with England A few
men talk of going to war with both
but the opinions OF those have nc chance
Of influencing this House Every way
! turn see trouble and danger. And
| am myself the more distressed when
l look around me and see in those who
have the confidence of the Administra-
ton, 50 little talent, | may say, 50 little
common sense. And when | look to the
Administration itself, | see there moth
ing to console me. Our Administra-
ton, in times Of quiet, were capable
Of falling down with the tide. A Log
is as fit for this as a Boat But they
are unequal to times Of trouble and diff
Gculty. And do fear that we shall
have too much melancholy evidence of
this truth. However, we can bear
much before we are totally ruined
and the people may at last be Undue
Ell to place more confidence in those
who are capable Of managing their af-
fairs with ability, than il those whose
great art consists in flattering and thus
deluding the populace."
