SIR,
IT is with great satisfaction that find
by the subscription for the " Domestic Ma
nufacture Company of Alexandra" that
there is little doubtb it will so into opera
ton. The situation in which the lnhaplt-
ants of the United States have hitherto stood
for supply of the most necessary articles
of cloathing is such as renders our depend
ence on foreign supply circumstance 70 be
regretted. Great advantage Will arise from
the establishment Of warehouse where the
increasing manufactures of our nelghbor-
hood may be purchased bythose whofeei dis"
posed to cloath their families in goods which
though not equal in fashion are much more
substantial than the slight fabrics offoreign
countries. The small amount OF the shares
has induced great many mechanics TO rest
their savings in this stock, and 1 trust that
those who have not attended, will avail
themselves of the opportunity of bcnehttlng
them and their country, by their mite to-
wards the encouragement of Society
which promises to be beneficial to the
neighborhood.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3.

We recommend to the attentive Perusal OF
our readers the following judicious senti-
mcnts and views copied from the Norfolk
Public Ledger. They arc the concluding
part of some observations on the paragraphs
which have appeared in the National In
telligenccr relative to the late rupture be-
tween our government and the British mi
mister -ED.-
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1809-12-02

We understand (says .he New York

Chesterfield, uponliterary and scientific Pnr-
suits, is charged with public dispatches
from our government to the American mi
mister in London.

Republicanism diffused its salutarv in
1uence throughout the United States.
it was every where expected that the
oihcers OF government would certainly
oe exchanged, for those whose senti.
1nents were congenial to the people.
The character of the Executive would
have been assailed from every quarter
unless this measure had been u irsped.
And even now indeed it is urged by
many as fault in the preceding adj
'ninistratlon, that it was not more gen.
eral and determined upon this subject.
ms certainly is one of the FIRST prin.
cipies OF our political system, that the
organ OF popular sentiment should be
perfectly consonant and adapted to its
tone and communication. 1t is abso-
iuteiy essential to the great principle.
hat the majority shall govern, other.
wise the measures of the administra.
ton will never be cheerfully carried
into operation and perversion and
mlsstatement on the part of the officer
VINO Isl IN the opposition will often be
made the instruments Of his hostility.
1t Is therefore our duty as friends to
the new administration and the people.
20 state that this measure was never
more sincerely wished, and that there
never was time, which more en-
Phatically demanded its operation. 1t
would have the happy tendency to en-.
ilven and consolidate the Republican
party, and at the same time to dispi-
rit and discourage their opponents. Ii
may perhaps render those who NAV
feel the influence of this measure more
vlrulent and determined, but this is
certainly consideration not to be re-
gardcd, as no reformation can be ex.
pected by their continuance in Office.
They may not be so loud in their in
vectlve or explicit in their design. but
they will be equally active, and their
suotlety and cunning will only cast a
veil over their schemes.
1t ought not to be forgotten how
frequently the zuant Of Enereg has
been ascribed to Mr.. Madison. We
trust that he has not forgotten it, and
moreover that he will give some ear
~ specimen to the contrary, in which
he will meet with the undivided an.
probation of his friends
