THESE Candidates are recommend.
ed to the suflragcs of the Republican
Frccmcn Of this state. The prox is
purely Republican, composed of men,
pledged and devoted to that cause. The
nomination is by delegations from all parts
of the State, and unanimously agreed
upon.
Never, Republicans, never was amorc
interesting crisis in your political history.
You have the most important interests at
stake, which can OILY be preserved by
your united and powerful exertons.--
They are demanded on the present occa-
sion by the most imperious coDsidcra-
tons. The glorious cause in which you
and your compatriots are engaged is sur
rounded with dangers, and menaccd with
destruction. The ascendancy of the fed
cra!ists in the Legislatures of New Eng
land would enable them to put in cx-
ecution their destructive projects
What arc these ?--Nothmg less ihan The
dissolution Of the Union. Does any one
Goubt this Let him read the federal
newspapers of Boston, the head quarters
OF federalism, in which this proposition
has been laboured at length--let him re-
view the debates, the proceedings, and
the declarations of the Legislature Of
Massachusetts, at their late session--lct
him attend to the still more unequivocal
evidence furnished by the Legislature Of
Connecticut, and doubt it, if he can.--
He will, in both find principles avowcd,
that lead, necessarily lead to this result.
The dissolution Of the union what
heart, really American, does not shudder
at tll;: idea
lhls State, as constituent part of the
American Union, is free and secure-is
common partaker in the common bless
ings OF great and growing empire, that
has every rational prospect Of becoming
the mistress of the New World, as Eu-
rope is of the Old and is rapidly ad-
vancing to this glorious destiny, with
this singular advantage Of combining Eu-
ropean greatness and spIcndour, with per-
feet Freedom. But dissolve the Union,
and the sun Of America is set forever
We should relapse and dwindle into in
significant powers, contemplate to the
rest OF the world, and formidable only to
ourselves. Our quanels would produce
wars-wars mutual waste and desolation
---desolation and the constantly impend-
ing danger if it, would give rise to stand

the rival of Europe, we should more re

al this would not happen at once, 1t
would ultimately in the necessary pro-
gression of things. But this State, small
as it is, would not see hex evil day put

solution, we should hold all our rights

require no other. BE assured that the
danger you arc now warned of, is not

reality. What ought TO animate you in
the struggle is, your numbers are such,
that if you come out in your full and
united strength, your triumph is certain.

best informed FrenchmeA in Spain were OF
opinion, that unless Napoleon has a pros
pect of recovering the Spanish colonies, ne
will evacuate the peninsula as bad bar
gain, and give his brother Joseph some
other kingdom. The American charge des
affairs, near the supreme governing Junta,
is said to be warm advocate Of the patriot
cause /; and to have confidence in its sue
cess.
The Clergy of Spain continue the most
faithful and Jealous supporters OF the patrl-
OF cause. 1t appears too they are held in
high estimation. The bishop OF Toledo is
to be regent of the kingdom; and the new
vieeroy of, Mexico. Don Francisco dc lana
de Beaumont is priest. The conduct OF
Napoleon to the pope, has, if possible,
sharpenrd their hatred of him.

confirmed the report OF the resignation OF
gen. Cuesta; and that, on the recommends
ton Of the English ambassador marquis
Wellcsley.) The Junta hid agreed to the
formation of Regency, which it was ex-.
pected would be more efficient than the
Jun,a. The bishop of Toledo was men
toned as the expected Regent.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Is.

The detention of the Africaine frigate,
anl also that Of the British packet at N. Y.
have excited much speculation and con]cct.,
ure. W. DO not doubt that it is the wish or
the British minister to convey TO his govern
ment, the sentiments and disposition of the
American government at his particular
iuncture, ana we believe that before this
day. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Jackson have hao
some serious and important discussions
The TINS has arrived when the two govern
ments should come to explanations, that IN
one wav or the oshsr viii put an end to the
doubts and uncertainties which have SO long
attended their relations. If we look to the
angry fulminations of the National Intelli-
gancer, anu the scurrilous invectives OF the
democratic papers, and particular those OF
them who are supposed to possess the con-
Edence,as they certainly do the patronage OF
the administration, we cannot in eandoi say
tfal cur hopes OF an amicable adjustmentare
sanguine. itunio. tuuaselv the present at
tempt at adjustment should fail, we believe
20 Other will be made, and the consequence
will be, what has been so long desired blythe
democratic party in this country, and con-
siderable party in the other.
We need offer no argument or observation
TO prove what are, and have long been the
views Of a vast majority of the democratic
party 10 this country. In G. B. there has
been powerful party, who have been at all
times DESTROYS for war with this country,
composed chiefly of the navy. the shipping
interest generally, and more particularly the
East and West India interests. Opposed
to this party, has been the army, the whole
manufacturing interest, and those interest
I'd in the American trade. These latter,
exclusive of the impolicy of war with this
country, addressed the interests, and fears
of the nation, and reasoning from what they
apprehended to themselves particularly,
perhaps oyerrated the importance of our
commerce. In those apprehensions, the
West India colonies partook largely. We
are assured by very intelligent persons, who
have recently visited Britain, and by others
who have visited her West India colonies,
that a great change has taken place, the
number of our friends have diminished, and
/ the apprehensions which once existed, have
ceased. Those arguments which were once
! with so much appearance of reason, adj
dressed to the approximations of the nation,
are now abandoned or treated with contempt.
! The manufacturers, have discovered that

An Intelligent Spanish officer in this city
lately from Spain represents II as hopeless
attempt for Ronapalte ever to think Of con-
qu-ring that country. Cverturn it, he says,
he may, bat subjugate it he never can. l.
is not, however, by opposing large armies to
large armies the Spaniards expect to sue
coed, bat in that less splendid but equally
destructive mode of warfare, which con
sists in cutting off every individual that
struggles from his camp, so that the French
will never be able 10 consider themselves
masters of foot of ground more than what
is actually add i'm aedia1ely occupied by
their army. The countr, he says is entirely
devastated, and not even refreshments can
be found for the traveller within 100 miles
Of Niadrid--he assures US 1t Is a tact that

slons and forage brought all the way from

From Spain cad PormsaJ-We have ac-

our embargoes and non-intercourses, did
not ruiz, them, and the West India colonlsts
have found that they did not starve. The
Halter have been compelled to the use OF
means which they did not know were in
their possession. Commercial warfare, for
that was the kind Of war waged, has al
ways the effect of drawing forth resources,
which nothing but necessity could discover.
Every person who had any knowledge, de-
rived from personal observation, toresaw
and predicted the consequences that would
result from the impolit:c system of CONNER
cial restrictions adopted by the late admin
istration. The effects upon ourselves were
certain, upon the other party, they were at
least doubtful.
THERE'S, however, avery great propor-
ton of the people of England, who are a.
verse to war with America, land SO we b1iievc
is the government. In making this asser-
ton, we would not mean to ascribe any great
share of moderation to the British govern
ment, but her interests are SO manltestly
promoted by peace with the United States
that she cannot, we should think, be bro't
to enter into a war, if it can be avoided.
But if the irritations which have existed so
long, are not checked by an amicable ad-
justment, and that speedily, we believe it
will not be in the power OF either govern
ment 10 restrain a temper which will not be
satisfied but by war. From these consider
ations, we feel no uncommon degree OF So
,citude for the result of these negotiations,
which are we have no doubt opened at
Washington. 4
