We have stated some time since that the
attack on the prince regent, so similar TO
the one which was made upon his father IN
the year 1895, accompanied by The declara-
ton made by lord Castlereagh in the house
Of commons, that he should take the prece
dents of that year as the ground work oil
his political measures, gave Us prospec-
tive insight into the course of policy shat
parliament would adopt. Accordingly we
find that the act lor The suspension OF the
habeas corpus act, the act for better securing
the sacled person Of his majesty, for dis
persIng sediJious meetings, are all little
more than copies OF the legislative provis-
ions of 1895. Ne observe by London
paper that the English ministry suffer a
new species of persecution. The prince
regent, Ion Casllereash, Mr.. Gaming, and

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.
II has been already iDtimated in seysrai
papers, that the PRESIDENT proposes, withs
in short time, to commence tour through
part Of the u. States.
II is some time since this intention Of the
President reached osr knowledge. We had
not intended TO have announced II, until tho
time OF putting it in execution approached;
but il having been variously Represented,
we think il proper 10 state our impressions
respecting the object and course Of his jour
Rey.
BY tho constitution Of our county, /, ia
made tho duty of the President TO give TO
Cong SsS. informs s,ion Of he state the Cnio4
aud TO recommend from time TO iime, such
measures as he shall judge Necessary and
expedient. One of the principal objects OF
the association Of these states, under fede-
ral head, was TO secure adequate provision
for the national defence. No object can DO
more important, il we except the pteserva-
ton Of civil and religious liberty. Such
attention has always been paid to that object
BY the ns,ionaI Executive heretofore, rs tho
best infor mrtiop' authorized and required.
But there Is no information 80 satisfactory
none upon which SO much reliance can bs
placed, as that Obtained by personal observs-
ton. II 10, therefore, believed, IN the press
en-, quiet state of our fCreigp end domestic
concerns, not requiring the presence Of the
president at The seat Of government, that he
could not DO more valuable service 10 his
country than by personally inspecting tho
state Of the public works, Of the military and
naval ports and eepo,s, and all the establish
ments connected with national defence.
With q view to this object, we believe Is
the intention Of the presider~, in q few weeks
to commenSe q tour nor,hward along the
whole Atlantic border 10 the remotest public
post; thence TO Pla,sburg, sc. and BY Sack
ett's Harbor on to Deuoir; whence he vii
return across the country. The objects OF the
President are, we bolieve, exclusivel, OF
public nature; to inspect the forts, navy
yards, and other public institutions: TO view
their positions to Investigate their economy
system and relative utility to enquire into
the expenditures Of public money that have
been made on particular objects, whether
advsntageously or otherwise, &c. and to as
certain what further works may be properi
and appropriations necessary 10 their COM
pletion. To aid him in these enquiries, tho
pres,den, will be attended by the chief Of the

TIE Election. In long, wining, abusive,
false ADD deceptive article on this subject in
tho Anne icen of Tuesday last, we End tho
following assertion "ln this county,
where the principal democratic guin was OBJ
tained, eorps Of fraudulent votes was or
gsnized, for 'he purpose Of defeating the
iaiT expression Of the public will. >~No fed
eralist, convcrssnt with the transactions OF
his pnrty in this State, unless possessed Of
the most oonsumale impotence, would have
the har ardinood TO write or speak thus. Were
the fact as stated, which we totally deny, il
would be the very acme OF hypocracy for
tsdcIalists TO complain. Six years have
scarcely elapsed since, In this very town,
town meeting was called, almost for the sole
purpose Of propounding fraudulent voies, at
which l24 Deeds were produced two-thirds
Of which, We solemniy believe, the grantees
named therein knew nothing Of, until called
upon TO vote at the subsequent election, Tor
the federal prox. This same American az
that period significantly boosted, that I" more
than l2o fedetaiis,s were propounded to be.

and even seven persons we're named in one
deed OF piece OF land, sor which no man in
his sense, wouls give one quarter OF the
nominal considers,Ioo.--In fact, many OF
the grantees knew not where their land was
situated, when they offcred TO vote. Their
votes have been repeatedly challenged /; and
in some cases, they have taken the oath to
pu'ge themselves Of fraud, being goaded
to perjury bythose who have dragged them
to the poll, tu, 10 others, they have utterly
refused. Four federalists were impellcd TO
offer their votes at the recent town.meet-
ing, who, on being questioned, declined TO
swear ths, they bad legal right to vote;
their eonseeneies would not permit them.
Others were challenged, who would no,
have sworn, and the moderator received
their votes Without Insisting upcn il. al
