in the election of Mr.. Monroe to the
Presidency. the people OF the U. States will
exhibit to the world the spectacle, unpa-
r,ileied in modern times, OF a nation plr.

st lesst twenty years together which is
an argument of more real weight than ap-
pears to have been allowed to it, in the es-
innate OF the advantages to be derived

most important object. La this view the
much hackneyed objection of MIR. Mon

different and favorable complexion
Whatever internal jealousy, even though
well-founded Jealousy, may exist among
ourselves, it is Of moment to the United
STATES, in their foreign relations, that one
course OF policy, and in measure, the same
class of statesmen, should appear to have
the constant ascendaDcy. 1t requires & re-
ceives the confidence and respect of other
powers. Surprising Mr.. Monroe's admi-
nistration to last eight years, then there
will have been four and twenty successive
years of the same system of public mea-
sures. Indeed, throwing aside the four
years Of MIR. Adams's irregular career and
attaching the last administrations, the JEFF
forson, Madison and Monroe, to that of
Washington, to which they properly be-
lcng in the series, notwithstanding the un-
founded assumptions of those who now per-
vert the name and attributes of the first
President---then the u. States of America,
with their representative institutions, will
have adhered to the same plan of govern
ment, from their first union down to the
year 1925. What other nation Can say rs
nuchs In England they have had their
Pitt ministry and their Fox ministry. their

cease their abuse for while they labor TO
