GOOD .NEyS.

After experiencing for seventeen months
past, an almost total ann h lation OF our com.
MERGE and the loss Of millions by Mr.. JEFF.
ierson's embargo and philosophical expert.
ments, 1t is with much pleasure we find
that the situation of affairs between the
United States and Great-Britain are in a
train for amicable and honorable adjust.
Whatever the causes which
have interrupted that friendly inter.
course, which is so much for the indepen.
dencc and prosperity of both nations to pre-.
serve, may have been, we hope now to see
those who have for long time endeavoured
10 involve the country in a war with En-
gland, abandon their ruinous schemes, and
adopt the maxim, IS in peace be friends"
We hope TO hear no more about British
partizsns," " tories" and such magic terms
conjured up by Office seekers to impose on
the honest citizens to serve the basest pur.
poses, of men destitute Of either moral o;
political rectitude.
The rene wal OF intercourse with England
will be highly advantageous to the inter.
ests of the citizens of Maine.

VIRGINIA FEDERAIISTs.

No State ir the union contains federalisis
more infexible or highly enlightened than
Virginia. 1t is true the number Of federal
votes has not lately been very great and it
has been usual for some time past to con-
slider that state IS an Opaque mass, sold TO
Jeffersonism, and upon which he had indie
l,ably fixed his mark of property, Strange
indeed has ii seemed that the native state
Of Washington and Marshall should be APP
propriated to the insidious calumnator of
the one and the unprovoked foe of the 9TH
or Tue latest accounts OF the progress Of
the election give Us room to hope, that ,ais
will not be the case much Longer. The
reign Of deluslon, which is necessarily liIa-
tied, is ,erging 10 close, and the good
sense of the people is again about TO pre-
vail. Mr. RANDOLPH, who by his OPP
position to the systems. which have brought
our country to the brink of ruin, rendered
himself lore obnoxious than any tcderalis,,
II the despotic party, now about to be hume
bled, has been tri,imphantly reelected, not
wlthstanding the persevering and unprinci-
pied cndeavors Of his enemies.
AIR. L EwIs WIS also marked ont for ex.
puision from the only seat among the Nir-
sinia delegation occupied by iederalis,.
TIE party here made a full display of all
their black arts u accomplish a purpose 81
dear 10 them. But the federal candidate
prevailed hya ~ cater majority than he ever
had, being double the number Of votes he
had al the last e lection.
No doubt is entertained Of MAJOR STE.
yESsoX's elect ION To the exclusion of Mr.
Morrow, and zen. BREcxENRipoE TO the
exclusion of Mr. Wilson.
Mr.. SwoorE has obtained a majority in
three out u live counties, which compose
his district, aid will certainly turn out a
deaf gentleman named Smith. Odd as il
nav appear Virginia has, in the last con.
grSss. had two of her representatives phys
.ral.y deg, and most of the rest pOlitiealJ,
bind.
Mr.. Jackson, the Presidents brother in
. law, will probably fall a sacrifice to his war
saeeches and embargoing rhodomantade.-
Mr. I.tSsLT, the federal candidate has OBJ
tanned a majority over him in Ohio county,
and i, is expected may prevail through the
district.
3'his election will also infuse salutary
portion OF federalism IN the Legislature of
Virginia Among other remarkable chan
yes is the election of federal delegate from
Rockbridge county NORTH AMERICAN.

self, the dispatches OF Cen bayae bear
ample testimony On that occasion he re-
ceived wound through the the lungs,
which was considered at first, as mortal !
but which his youth, and strong constitu-
ton surmounted. When ADAMS addition
al army was raised, the Father u his Conn
nv, WAsHIsoToN, who was appointed
Lieut.. General, sent for Capt. Yan Renssel-
aer, questioned him respecting the state of
his wound, and recommended him to be
appointed Major of cavalry, which took
place.-He was afterwards appointed by
Gov. Jay, Adjutsnt- General of the State,
and continued 10 discharge that Office with
great fidelity, until the present Governor,
and Council of Appointment, Influenced by
Deapit Clinton and -fnibrose Spencer, turned
him out OF Office. 1t will be rccollected, IL
was this gentleman whom the three COW.
ardly sssassius, John Taylor, Francis Blood
gooa and Charles ID. Cooper, attacked and
nearly beat To death, some time since in
the streets Of Alb0y.

aral, most safe, and most profitable branch
es OF our trade, the second. Both these
wishes are fulfilled.
We shall not stop 10 enquire, whether the
spirited ana vigorous measures of New-Eng-
land--thsir determined and public declars-
sions that they would not submit to an un-
necessary and destructive war, have indu-
ced the administration to listen TO the same
terms which Great Britain has always been
ready TO offer, and To which sc have uni
forinly contended she was sincerely disposed.
One or two remarks may however be use
ful, as they may Affect CUR policy on future
occasions.
LIST The first remark is, that as our en-
barge was not laid in consequence OF the
British orders in Council, which we're not
only not known, bat not even alluded TO in
debate, SO the Withdrawing of the embargo
on the resembling the orders in council, Is
al admission that that measure was not pro
dactlye of the good effects proposed by its
supporters.
IDLY. The revocation Of the British Or
ders being predicat ID solely on our adopting
by s0lemn statute, measures OF resistance
to the French DEGREES, 1t is apparent, that
had those measures otresistance been adop'
ted in the first instance instead of the EN-
barge, those Orders would never have ex-
isted-we should have been spared the ex-
pense and distress Incident TO eighteen
months loss of all exterior commerce, and
the still worse wound inflicted upon the
Constitution in consequence of those laws.
,,dly. The issue of tie late negotiation
proves what we have always maintained,
that the British Government were not ac-
countahic for the unhappy affair of the Che
sapeake, that they were as much wounded
at i, as we were, and that they would seek
the frs, honorable occasion to give us sat
isfsctory PREPARATION. This has now been
done to the satisfaction Of Mr.. Madison.
aud the affair is happily buried forever.
Lastly, This late negotiation ought to
convince every impartial man, that Great
Britain is always disposed to maintain q
good and honorable understanding with US.
That whenever collisions shall take place
on minor points, frank, open and honora-
Bile course is much to be prcferred-that
instead Of resorting to petulancy and abuse
TO hostile and violent measures, we can al
ways more surely confde in her interest to
maintain peace. and the disposition of her
Cabinet to do us justice. On future occa-
sions 1t is therefore hoped we shah avoid
measures ruinous to ourselves and Disgrace
full to our Councils, and apply directly in
the first instance to her sense of Justice, in
stead of provoking her, and stimulating her
pride by measures of self PREPARATION. If
such course shosld ever fail, which we
believe it would not, we have, it is hoped
spirit enough to sest our ozvn redress BY bold
and decided steps.

Dir,
HAVE received your favour Of
April 5th. agree with you that our
Prosperity has been as great as that Of
any People that ever existed and that
our Massachusetts and national Con-
stitutions are better than any that /
have known or read, as long as they
are administered by the People and
their Representatives according to their
Spirit and true Principles. How long
this will be depends upon the People
themselves. If the People and their
Representatives sacrifice the Charac.
ters and destroy the influence of the
best, most enlightened and most disin.
terested Men, by Calumnies and pro-
mote those who have neither heads nor
hearts fit for their Stations and are ac-
tuated only by motives Of Avarice and
Ambition it will not be very long be-
fore our Prosperity will be exchanged
for Calamity and our free Constitutions
converted into Iyranies.
That neither wish for Monarchy
nor Grecian Democracy nor Gre
clan or Roman Aristocracy in these u
nited States is most certain * most ey-
ident to this whole Nation if they have
ever attended to my Words, Actions
or Writings for fifty years In Janu-
airy l776 l printed my opinion of a
proper form Of Government under the
title Of Thoughts on Government in a
Letter from Gentleman to his Friend.
In 1879 was Member Of the Con-
vention that formed our Massachusetts,
Constitution and expressed with great
freedom my Sentiments OF Govern
ment in that Assembly of three or four
hundred Gentlemen collected from all
parts Of the State. Two or three and
twenty years ago I published three &C.
tavo Volumes in Defence Of our Mass
achusetts Constitution with view to
suppress Shays's Rebellion. About
eighteen or nineteen years ago / pub
lished papers which have been collect
ed in Volume under the title of Dis.
courses on Daviia. In all these Wri-
tings my Opinion, upon Government
are expressed so clearly that he who
runs may read them. II the Nation
will not read them or will not under
stand them, or are determined to mis-.
interpret or nisrepresent them, that is
not my fault.
am afraid there is too much OF the
Spirit of Hutchinson and his times pre-
valent in these days.
also am extremely sorry that Mr..
Jefferson has turned out so many wor-
thy men and promoted SO many who
are not so worthy. But il is not neces.
sary for me at present to express my
opinion of Mr.. Jefferson's Character or
Administration. He has passed away.
