known to be in want OF money, and he h.,
no other means OF filling his Golfers, smp,iyj

upon that subject that the Chamber Of Com.

Letters From different partsof En-
gland, by the Two Generals, as
late as the 7th of Dec. agree in stating.
that Russian goods had experienced
reduction of 25 per cent. in price
aud that American produce, notwith-
standing daily arrivals, was looking
up. Two important facts are thus es-
tahlished, vIz--that the DEGREES of
France do not prevent the trade be-
tween Russia aud England, and that
American restrictions do not prevent
a. b. and c. from aending ships to
EngIanJ.

An impartial world will decide who, or
Sich Of the two great parties in the United
ates, have most scrupulously maintained
y doctrines and followed the advice Of
rashington. AS Republicans, we have uni
f'aly advocated the union Of tho States, in
opostion to the dismemberment of the
ates Sc pointediy threatened by the federal
lis, who still have the daring eA'rontery to
ell thcmselyes his deciples. How indelibly
ae the characters of hypocrisy and shame,
fed on those fretended followers, of that
geat and good Man. Firm Republicans are,
inprincipIe and practisc,tbs sincere admirers
OF Washington. Mr.. Jefferson and Mr.
Mdison have initiated his example in the
great feature of his administration.
Dur partial success in the election just ter
minated in this city may be attributed to Sc
veal causes. The iedcralsts seem to have
abandoned all sense of reason, justice, and
even prudence, they were determined to get
sne election at the hazard of enormous sums
of money, and the small remains of honour
attached 10 their cause. A rare example of
wisdom and discretion has been presented to
the view Of the United States, in their zealby
obtaining votes from set ot men, to deter
mine the fate of a great State, who, more
than two thirds Of them, can neither read or
write and the most of them are held in real
slavery. This single circumstance is preg-
r,ant with serious alarm to the citizens of the
whole state. This signal mark of teme1ty
on the part Of the ./cdetaHsts may, at some
future period, atflict their hearts with all the
horrors ola second Negro Plot, unless preyen-
ted by the timely interference of Republican
Virtue.
We conclude this address in behalf of our
selves and our constituents by wishing you the
uninterrupted enjoyment of your rights and
!iburtics, that you may be useful members of
society, respected for your exemplary conduct,
faithful to your excellent pwinciples, and last
ing ornaments to your country.
