Mr.. SHIRLEY,

FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
Mr.. SHIRLEY,
LATELY looking over an " Ameri-
can Annual Register" for 1896, evident
ly written by democrat, find some
observations which it may not be unsea.
sonable 10 republish a: this time, to stir
up the pure minds Of the Democrats
by way ofremembrance. | shall make
few extracts. In the first chapter
speaking Of the President Of the United
States, the writer says, "Our chief
magistrate is not solicitous to plunge
his counuymen into a foreign war, that
he may drown Tho domestic voice Of
truth. or secure a majority Of partisans
in Congress, by the distribution OI Jobs
and contracts. He has nothing tn
dread from the suictest investigation OF
his measures "
In chapter third, he has The following
remarks. "TO renounCe tie practice
Of navigation would be casting away
those means Of offensive war, by which
alone the United States can ever hope
to make their commerce secure Oh The
ocean. The chief object Of Mr.. Mad
sons resolutions was augmenting The
strength Of this maritime militia, and Il
the same time 70 reduce that Of Britain.
The great objection made on the other
side was that The latter country nigh.
revenge this check by counter regula'
ticns."
II the following paragraph from the
fourth chapter, may be seen The pros
peClive views OF the Democrats Of 1876.
and the Democrats ofl8Il and 1912,
have the same destroying and annihila-
ting spirit with respect 70 every thing
which opposes their progress TO com
plete usurpation and tyranny.
In forming the Federal Cons:itu-
ton, mutual concessions were neCessa-
nv and their effects have testified tbs
prudence oil the convention which gran
ted them. But when the gradual pro-
gress of time has entirely reduced tie
relative importance of the lesser states,
on alteration, OF perhaps dissolution Of
the Senate will certainly follow. The
United States have at present llT96J
near FIVE millions OF people They dou-
ble lust about once id twenty five years
and thus i'll less than twenty years. the
Union Will have thirty millions Oh per-
sons. Thirty thousand whites are DY

An English gentleman who made
application to administration through
Mr.. FosTER, the English Minister, for
leave to return TO TIE Pe8t Indies, has
received an answer from the minister
announcing the refusal Of government
TO grant the request, but adding by way
of consolation that the Embargo would
probably be raised in short time.
The letter was dated tuesday last.

add, that letters from members of Con-

OF any expectation Of the kind and the

which though sometimes it misses a

that Lieut. Biddlc has letter for MIR.

GOVERNOR GERRY.

The McGSTe support given tins gen.
tleman at the democratic caucus in
Washington, is a confirmation Of what
has ever been asserted that the
leading gentlemen Of that party disap-
proved not less than their opponents,
the extravaganza and violence of his
speeches, messages and measures
Indeed they made I'D secret Of their as
constituent and ccnure of such "botd
7oords, and 5tack'd nth deeds SO bold f"
Is is not, however, SO much a rebuke to
Mr.. GERRY as il is to the upstart poll
tlclanS who pursuaded him ~ surrender
his better Judgment TO their guidance
Mr.. GERRY Is naturally gentleman,
and though vain and irritable, we hope
is not implacable and malicious /;
though his libel message bears strong
marks oil both. Evil Counsellors, per-
haps, and not bad disposition have been
his ruin. IL is not likely that of bis own
mere motion he was induced 10 wage
war upon one nalf of the people OF the
Commonwealth but being push'd
down Hii4 by force which he ought TO
have resisted and despised, he made
post haste until he came TO the valley
While therefore the southern democrats
mock at .Ne7u England, ny nominating
as candidates, gentlemen who have past
the period of active eXeruOn, and who
probably will not live to the end OF their
official term they manifest a supreme
Contempt for their pariiz4ns in DL4aaclA.
