favourable to the election of a DISTINGUISHED

toes, and urge them, by their votes, to e.
vince their undiminishsd attachment to orr
present excellent administration, and their
confidence in the patriotism. virtues and tz
tents Of James Madison. 1t is confidently
anticipated that proper attention ON their
part will produce such large and over
