Virginia has given 5 out of Presidents to

ambitious, not because Virginia wished to
rule the nation, not because Virgini:, is
Southern state, but because Washington,
Jefferson and Madison did not happen to be
born in other states.
If state-ambition be the motive with VIR-

The expulsion o. Mr.. K andoiph from Con

the people. They had long warned him that
his tergi,ersations, y Aich ne called indehen-
dence, ii carried 10 such eng,hs for any con
siderable period, would acquire, rs they

desLised The warning, and now experiences
the Consequence. Il is Pheasant for the

yious TO and during the election, in which
Mr. 4. has lost lis sea. in the House Of Re-

to influence the passions Of his political adj

undeniabie facts OF alteration iroGl The true

has frequently said, should assert tbat he was
hunted down by the advoco ties OF the men in

1t is worth while to notice the distinctions of
party among us which Mr.. Augustus j. Foster,
formerly British resident minister at Wash
ington, and now a member of Parliament, has
drawn in the sketch Of his speech which we
publish to-day. He says there is French
party and an aHti-A1giicaa party. AS to the
former, we know nothing: But as to The anti.
Anglican party,it is presumable that by that
denomination he desgnates the america. par
~ that is, the fnen in the United States who
will not quietly repose under British aggressi.
ons. These men, Mr.. Foster says, were very
sctve in bringing about the war; This is
true enough. The American party--the friends
of lher nations rights, glory in their activity ;
and that activity will never cease till Britain
moderates her foul prelensions. But, mark a
little further; MIR. Foster " thought the A.
meriean government we're not sufficiently mas
tiers of their own conduct" True again. But
why is it not Because, being a government
founded on public opinion, the tories-in the
State Legislatures-the factloHs men in Con-
gress-haye perverted facts, and by misleading
the popular mind, partially controlled govern
ment. This is the cause, and Mr.. Foster has
seen it. He does our administration Justice I:
And, excepting Tie nonsensical prejudice a.
bout French party, he very sagaciously indi-
Gated facts as they truly exist.

When the buildings and brewery of Mr.
johnson, the Mayor of Baltimore, were burnt,
and recently whea British squadron was pro-
ceeding up to Baltimore, Messrs. Wagner and
Hanson, editors of the Georgetown Federal
Republican, represented these occurrences as
merited chastisemenls Of God for the citizens
having beaten and bruised the tory mob that
visited that city with guns, pistols, and lathing
hatchets, last year. BY the Federal Republi.
can of the 21st inst we learn that Mr. Hans on,
" without any immediate bodily ipjury, on his
SpaY up 10 Montgomery, Preparatory to The
tarn of his family, suffered on Tuesday last, a
rupture Of one Of his 6lood Vesseis." Now here
10 a special, and singular visitation, and
personal one too, of the ring-leader of the
band thar went TO Baltimore to defy the whole
power of that City. And yet we are very far
from supposing 1T to be ajadgmsns fGod No,
indeed we rather suppose it to be the effect
OF that series of carousing which preceded
the unhappy transactions at Baltimore, by way
of triumph, into which MIR. Hanson entered,
thereby, as the Federal Republican says, ma.
king his system I" f.i!er and fynser than here
totore." The cOnse quence has been too
great pressure on the blood-yessels OF the

this mosfortune we are sorry. Il was impos

that tranquility of mind which alone gives
true energy to the human intellect. And the
misery of a feilow-creature, from whatever
cause, affords us no satisfaction He has been
a misguided young man. lie will find the best
security for recovery and future health in Sc

In the ninth number of Mr.. Pickering's
elaborate vindication of the enemy, he makes
n miserable effort to account in a new way
tor the issuing of the declaration of war on
the 18th June last. He gravely declares,
that it was issued so soon because the demo-
Gratis apprehended that the orders in coun-
Gil would be repealed, and the ground of
war thus be taken from under their feet
We always knew Timothy Pickering to be
the worst CT political knaves; but this de-
claration OF his demonstrates extreme stu
pidity as we'll as knavery. II is impossible
that the President and Congress could have
calculated in Ju,e last on tie repeal of the
British orders IL council, because they had
just received the Prince Regents declarati-
on, of the 2ist OF the preceding April, pro-
Claiming to neutral nations, "that nothing
but the unconditional reheal offhe French
DEGREES should ever procure the revocation
of the orders in couacil." This fact alone
shews the stupid fallacy of Mr.. Pickering's
assertion. Yet do the northern federalists
swallow with avidity every sentence written
by this wretched factionist.
1t must be confessed that Mr. Pickering
most appropriately heads some of the letters

guilty nnpeiled I" They unequivocally UNI
veil his Ubiquitous principles aud conduct to-
wards his country and the mystery % of
