Shin my letter, No. 6. took the liberty
to express nay opinion ofthe probable effect of
the non-intercourse law intended TO be enact
cd and of the mode by which Great Britain
may defeat the real intention of the American
government in passing it. But as the sort of
impunity recommended might in its a%pplica-
ton to every species of commerce that would
be carried or, be deemed by Great-Britain a
greater evil than war itself, a middle course
might easily be adopted, which would deprive
France ofthe benefit resulting from an inter
course with America, without, in any great

have not yet been able to ascertain with
sufficient accuracy the relative strength OF the
two parties in the Legislative bodies in New
England.
In all of these states, however, Governors
have been elected out of the Federal party,
and even the southern papers indicate an I'M
expected augmentation of federal members IN
the next congress.
The correspondence between Mr.. Erskine
and the Secretary of State at Washington
you will have seen before this can reach you,
1t has given much satisfaction to the federai
party here ; because it promises an exemption
from the evil they most feared Ia war WITH
England and j~ustifes their Partially towards
Great Britain which they maintain was FOUND,
ed upon a full conviction of her j~astice ana
sincere disposition to preserve peace Even
the democrats affect to be satisfied with 1t, DC,
cause as they insist it proves the efficacy Of
the restrictive system of Mr., Jefferson.
But the great benefit that will probably r.
suit from it, will be that Bonaparte may %

SIR,-Since my letter of the 18th, nothing
has occurred which | thought worthy of a
communication
The last weeks of this month and the first
of April will be occupied in the election Of
Martinsburgh gazette. [volume] (Martinsburgh, Va. [W. Va.]) 1810-1825, 1812-03-20

governors and other executive oaicer, in II.
Eev-England states.
The federal candidate in New ampsb;re
is already elected BY a majority Of about 1000
votes. His competitor was a man Of LARGE
fortune, extensive connexions and inof|ensiSe
tanners These account for the sraallnes.
Of the majority.
In Connecticut, no change is necessary
and none Is to be apprehended.
In Rhode Island, it is of no consequence Of
what party the governor is a member. as he
has neither civil nor military powers, being
merely president of the council
IN Massachusetts,, it is certain that the fed
eral candidate will succeed.
A few weeks will be sufficient in order tn
determine the relative strength of parties, and
convince Mr.. Madison that a war with Great
Britain is not a measure upon which he dare
venture. Since the plan OF an organised op-
position to the projects of Mr.. Jefferson was
put into operation, the whole ofthe New-Ene-
land states have transferred TIER political
power to his political enemies, and the reason
that lie has still so many adherents is, that
those who consider the only true policy of A..
merica to consist in the cultivation Of peace.
have still great confidence, that nothing can
force him Tor his successor who acts up to his
system or rather IS governed by IT. to consent
to war. They consider all the menaces and
dreadful note of preparation" to be a mere
finessc, intended only to obtain concessions
from England on cheap terms. From every
sort of evidence, | confess / ara myself Of the
same opinion and am fully persuaded that
the farce which has been acting at. Washing
ton will terminate in a full proof of the imbe-
cility and s~piritless temper of the actors. A
war attempted without the concurrence Of
both parties, and the general consent of the
northern states which constitute the bone and
muscle of the country, must commence with
out hope, and end in disgrace. 1t should,
therefore, be the peculiar care of G.. Britain
to foster divisions between the north and south,
and by succeeding in this, she may carry into
effect her own projects in Europe, with a to-
tai disregard of the resentment Of the demo.
Gratis of this country.

SIR-I send to MIR. r.. a pamphlet entitled
" Suppressed Documents" The notes and
comments were written by the gentleman who
has written the "analysis," which | sent by a
former conveyance. These works have great.
ly contributed to excite the fears of the men
of talents and property: who now prefer fhs
chance Of maintaining their party by open
resistance and a final separation to an ALI.
anee with France, and a war with England.
SO that should the government unexpectedly
and contrary to all reasonable calculation, at
tempt TO involve the country in measure of
that nature. / ami convinced (now that the
elections have all terminated fayoraDly9 that
none of the New England states would be a
party in it. But, as have repeatedly written,
the General Government does not seriously
entertain any such desire or intention.
Had the majority in the New England
States continued to approve of the public
measures, it is extremely probable that Great
Britain would now have to choose between
war and concession But the aspect of things
In this respect is changed and a war would
produce an incurable alienation of the eastern
states, and bring the whole country in subor-
dination to the interests of England. whose
navy would prescribe and enforce the terms
upon which the commercial states should car
ry and the agricultural states export their sur
plus produce. All this is as well known to
the democrats as to the other party there
fore they will avoid a war, at least until the
whole nation is unanimous for it. Still when
we consider of what materials the government
is formed, it is impossible to speak with any
certainty of their measures. The past admin
~istration in every transaction presents to the
mind only a muddy commixture of folly,
weakness and duplicity. The spell, by which
the nations of Europe have been rendered in
ert and inefficient when they attempted to
shake it off, has stretched its shadows across
the Atlantic & made a majority of the people
of thes states alike blind to duty and to their
true interests.
