liant exploits, was dear TO bis country, The

The expose then proceeds to state the number

considerable proportion of moderate and
independent men.
Gut OF seyenty-six names lying before
US, only four belonged to the legislative
body of 1914 whilst on the other hand
we see several names of men who have dis
tinguished themselves by their attachment
to the royal cause. Perhaps, upon the
whole, the fault which Mr.. Burke found in
the first assembly of the Tiers Etat is still
too prevalent: we mean the excessive
number of lawyers. 1t is obvious that in
a Legislative assembly all respectable pro-
LESSONS and occupations should be repre-
sented in due proportion but, compared
with other classes, we find far more than a
.proportionate number of advocates, coun.
sellers of prefecture, aud counsellors and
presidents of the royal courts. We trust,
however, that these gentlemen have learn.
ed wisdom from the sad experience of their
country's sutferings, sufferings not the less
real because some of them were covered
with the purple robe of empire or conceal.
ed under the bloody veil of conquest.
Of what is properly to be called news
these Journals afford US nothing. They
mention the kings excursions to Scyre.
and st. Cloud, and repeat the often before
reported rumors of the retreat of the allied
troops; but whether the terms of peace b,

given to Powell and 96S to Hunton in

as it was in 1905, when Lewis in the

RHODEISLAND ELECTION.
ProuideRce. .inriL IN

'oCtuc"Ie, slPi u NI'
On Wednesday, the freemen of this
state assembled in their respective towns
to elect general officers for the year en-
suing, and representatives in the next
general assembly.
The result of the election has surpas-
sed the most sanguine expectations of
federalism, and defeated the most aspir-
ing hopes Of democracy. Aware that
many federal voters were absent, and
that a confidence Of success produces a
dangerous apathy, we were apprehensive
that Governor Jones and his associates
would be reelected by decreased majo-
rites. Our fears are entirely removed,
and we can confidently announce their
reelection by considerable accession
of votes. The democrats of this state
confided in the false and ephemeral glory
which rhe administration borrowed from
the closing scenes Of the war, and they
fond!y hoped that their misrepressnta-
tons of the treaty would delude the
freemen into belief that it was :. honor
able in all respects" and that those who
considered it dissracetul to the admins
tration, were indiscriminate opposition
lists and unprincipled demagogues. They
have, however, been completely baflled
in their attempts to delnde /; and sadly
Alexandria gazette, commercial and political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1812-1817, 1815-04-29

There is one advantage arising from
the circumstance of the democrats being
in power when the late treaty OF peace
with Great Britain was concluded which
would not have been experienced, had the
reins of government been in the hands
of federalists-and that is in the general
ac9uiescence of that party in the terms
of the treaty.
Had the federalists made such bar
gain, as this treaty with the British, IN
which there is not enc stipulation ufon Ell
Their Of the points urged in justification
of the declaration of war--not word a.
bout impressment or biockades, or Or
ders in Council, or g Free Trade" or
& Sailors Rights which, in fact, the
privileges of the fisheries are given Up,
and Passport virtually coded to the En-
glish, nor one word saving the trade to
the Indies, they would at once have been
denounced as traitors and tories, and tie
whole country thrown into one scene of
turmoil, Glamour, and disorder, by the
democratick party. This was wit
messed on the PRONUNCIATION of the trea
ty negotiated by John Jay, in 1795-al-
though it was highly advantageous to this
country, and as much superior to the
one lately negotiated at Client, as day
is to night. But the case is now altered,
& although every thing is given up to the
British that was IN question between the
two nations, the democrats as party are
obliged to srallouy 1t achole & be quiet
Nay, to declare it highly honorable to
HI.en and tie nation!
Thus much, therefore is to be accorded
to the circumstance of the democrats re-
naming in power since they had invol-
we'd us in the war. No treaty however
Acknowledgements which their leaders
could make with England, would be re-
ceived unfavorabIy by their servile sup
porters, while any settlement made by
jederalists, although upon the best terms,
would have been denounced, and every
effort which art or wickedness could sug-
gest employed to create dissatisfaction
and excite discomfort among the people.
Thus circumstanced, we shall not be dis
turbed with mobs and instructions as in
days of yore, on account of the British
1recty, although it gives up every thing
the war was pretendedly waged for,
with Passport, the Indian trade, and the
Fisheries into the bargain.
