Ii has been whispered to the north, to the

No fears are entertained. however. as to the
result OF this contest. The great republican
party is sound to the core. The friends of

OF the pirate character of Gen. Hester we
won'd not speak disrespectfully; but when il
is recollected that this gentleman was at the
last election for President candidate for the

derstood II elected, would vote against Mr..
Monroe; and that at the election when Mr.
Madison and MIR. Clinton were candidates for
the Presidency, it is believed he was also
candidate. and was pledged TO his friends to
vote against Madison-we say, that recollect
ing this. and seeing that ne has on so many oc.
casions permitted his name to be used by the
federalsts TO promote their views, he should
neither be surprised nor displeasea TO find his
RepubhcaHism doubted, and that the democra-
