1t will be perceived that no party considera-
tons have influenced our deliberations-Our
anxious desires lead us to the great object Of
speedy peacs.-We are willing, for its ATTAIN
ment, to bury every past political animosity,
and to unite in one common effort for that in
estimable blessing. Whoever gives il to us.
whatever may be his political principles, is
our friend, and will be the benefactor Of his
country. We entreat union in this crisis of
peril-and let the suppoeto of the ochole ticket
be as unanimous as our recommendation of il
is liberal and sincere.
That the men in office, and all their depend.
ents, will resort TO the accustomed methods
Of opposing our efforts for peace and the rs.
newal of commerce, by misrepresentation
and calumny, is not to be doubted. Fellow
Citizens, to this we make no reply-it can de-
serve none-Let every Individual but exercise
his oun calm judgment between peace and
war, and pupctually and fearlessly deliver Il
his ballot, uninauenced by local, personal and
party objections, and our country will be saw
ed-saved from a long and deadly war-from
heavy and increasing taxation-from accumu-
lated debt-from militia services, and in the
end, from losses, disgrace, and the banef,l
consequences of French alliance. AS to the
often repeated insinuation, that the Friends
Of Peace will surrender the rights Of the
country-it is too futile and groundless a sus-
picion to require an answer. IF peace can be
attained, they will effect it with honor-if Il
cannot, they well know their country's rights.
and will never betray them.
We have, fellow-citizens, plainly and sim
cerely performed this important duty. We
repeat our earnest wish and hope, that each
Uoter in New Jersey may duly weigh the con.
sequence of his individual act, and whether
in the county Elections or in that for electors
and Representatives in Congress, determine
at least to try by supporting peace Candidates,
what can be done for our endangered, divided,
and already disgraced Country.
To this end fellow-citizens, let every reader
of the address now submitted to you, not on
ly resolve for himself to support the cause Of
peace, but to lend his aid in assisting others
to the place of election, whose circumstances
might otherwise deprive the country of their
SURFACES. We should each bear in mind that
a single vote uiU have its infuence-it mar
determine the great question of Peace or War.
involving the honor and welfare Of our coun-
try-the security and happiness Of our fami-
hes, and even our p~osterity for a long success.
sion of years. Let it be, then, the firm de-
termination of each and all of us, to repair.
in this critical moment of national danger, to
the places of election, resolved upon a remo-
val of the advocates for war; and with this as
our motto SPEEDY AND HONORABLE
PEACE AND 70 ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE

that if the tax bills were passed, and the people came
to feel the weight of these enormous taxes, It would
drive them to despair, that Mr.. Madison and all the
official supporters of the war, would lose their eIec-

The above seamen were discharged from

All kinds of provisions were remarkably

hands, who were in great distress, both for

them, all the while, in the face.

in a recent gale, which the men in question
also encountered when in the GuIph-Stream.
Was treated politely by him, and furnished
with provisions and sail for their boat.
