FROM BdTh.


BE II remembered, to the honor OF the
citizens of BATH, that benjamin y4Bies,
the democratic candidate, for Congress,
obtained only % votes, out Of 520--and
that he did not receive one halt that
were cast for men of his own party
this shews that there are independent
democrats who prefer measures 70 men
and who Will never sacrifice their coun-
try TO party spirit, and to the honor Of
the electors OF the third eastern district
be it also remembered that SAMUEL
DAVIS, ESQ. il elected ~ several hun
dred majority. thi- unexpected, inn
portant event. every honest American
must rejoice. LINCOLN.

Candidates, are redoubling their exer-
tons 10 secure such Electors as wi.

WAR, These men care not how
much the people suffer or what taxes
are imposed if they can retein their
Offices and bask ii Executive favor. We
understand meeting was holden on
| Thursday last, in this town, and that a
mon5 other measures, Circular was
adopted, calculated TO impose, deceive
and Influence the Electors in this Dis
trlct 10 favor Of the Madisonian ticket,
| headed by John Woodman. But we
truS. that the good sense OF the Electors
Of this District IS not to be confronted by
the fears OF office holders or Office see
kers. The citizens OF the United States
have now q glorious opportunity 10 lay
aside party names and party preiudices
and unite on American ground in the
support oGthe UNIoN and PEACE rIcK
Ell who will support the election of the
Hon. Mr. CLINTON, for President of
| the United States, whose object will be
to restore to the country an honorable
Peace, and Free Trade. The following
IS a copy OF the circular letter alluded
10. The reader, after perusine II, will
be best qualified 70 Judge whether the
method there adopted Of calling op2ro
brious names, is such as a good cause
would require for its support.
