WAUcH, Esqures, (dem.) are elected to
present the County Of Fairfax in the H.,
ture of Virginia.
| When Mr.. Griswold was elected Cow. ,.
of Connecticut lastSpring, the democrats ,..,;
| fiedthe highest cxultation, declaring thstbe b.a
joined the retabEcan standard. We exor,,
sed our doubts of his apostacy at the ,;o,o
Our opinion was founded on the well kno,..
integrity and talents Of Mr.. Griswold
his speech to the Legislature, soon afte,n. -,
proved that we were correct, and that he Do.
pissed the trimming, runous policy of the Gen.
erai government, as much as ever. WHIT
particular cause of offence he has since 81.
ven TO the retn6!icans, we have rot ascertain.
ed; bot we are pleased to fad that the csodi.
date supported in opposition to him has been
distaaced at the election this month.
The contempt manifested by Messrs Ma.
olson * Co. for public opinion is truly re.
markable. Let man, IN support OF any os
their projects, render himself unpopular in his
own state; and he is Immediately taken under
the fostering wing Of our patriotic ADMINISTERS
tion.-Wc have seen late Instance of this in
Gov. Tompkins, who has set the state Of N.
York in an uproar, but who it is Kid has been
amply rewarded for his loss CT popularity by
snug Office under the general government.
And it now appears, tht, since the Freemen
of Massachusetts, have determined on dispens.
ing with Mr.. Gerry's services the intriguels
talk of running him for the next Vice Presi-
n~TrSy"- o .--l-I- e,n>el, I,'vFe sue"
cessful, the patent republicans will forward
their own office hunting views, while the mo-
dest Gerry will receive the price Of his labor.
We have been favored with the first num-.
Der of newspaper just established in Sayaa-
nah Georgia. called The AMERICAS Pa
TRIoT. It's doctrines every way correspond
with the name, for they are Of the cue and ho-
norable school. The following short extract
from the Prospectus may serve as speci'
men:
"The Principles which this paper will sup
port, are designated by It's name. They arc
principles founded upon an immuta6le basis
which misrepresentation may Tor while OBJ
scure, but cannot permanently affect; PI-hcl-
pies stamped by eternal experience, approves,
by the plainest dictates OF common sense, anu
recognised and prac.ised by Washington aNu
Hamilton. They advocate the honor Of our
country, not by pitiful parsimony, commercial IA.
restrictions, and ridiculous rhodomontade' oa'
by manly, adequate, and efficient meaSuFeS'-
They cherish Agriculture, and foster manu-
features, not by naisling and crushing co'',
merce, but by extending towards It just anu
liberal protection"
Besides the Prospectus, the paper contains
a number of we'll written articles. Ahon6s'
these, we are particularly pleased with poet
ical essay entitled i" The Moralist, 40, H.
and we have no doubt our readers Will DC g
qually pleased with the subjoined extract lFo3.
il. as indicative both of the authar's views anu
talents:
g You ask, since ages past were stand win
crime,
Why we expect exemption, at this tlFne
This is not virtues province to expect
But yet it's hers the VICIOUS TO de.ee,'
IT'S hers the cautious villain to display,
And drag him from his haunts to open u@'
To mark the needless votary OF senS0'
The ruthless murderer OF innocence; c.,d
To mark the man whose cruel hands uhAoiu
N;sbonor's nens;on. and dishonest gold;
