legislature will sanction The tolerstion Of FREE

Arrival Of the V,ee-Prendeni.

.drrivai Of the Vice- Pre.denf.
On Saturday morning last, DANIEL ID.
TOMPKINS, Esq. Vice-Presldent OF The
URrsd States, accompanied by Col. GEORGE
GiBBs md Col. MURRy, arrived in this town,
on boa,d the u. >. .Ievenue-cutter .flerf, Capt.
II. CAHooHE, from New York. On their
srrivsi, salu,es were fled at Fort- Wolcotl
and fo'l-Adams, and on board the revenue
cutter Vigiian,. The Vice President sod his
friends repaird TO the mansion of Geo. GIBBS,
from whence, after short stay, they sgsin
repaired on board the .fleyf, &C ecompsnied by
CommodoIe PERRY and Gen. Gibbs, and
proceeded 10 Boston, by The wy OF Provi-
dencc. Preparations were made TO pay that
respect 10 the sucopd magistrate OF the ma
tior, which his virtues srd taiens so emf
nenty en,i,le him to, but were deprived OF ,hst
pleasure, by his unexpecicd de psrture for
Boston. We lean however, tina, he may be
expected in Town In the course Of the present
day.
THE VlCE-PRESIDENT.
The feelings excited In the mind of eycry
friend to his country, on tho arrival oil this IL
iusirious character among us, are such as do
honor to oui iselves, as TO the msn, whose vir
tues, talents, and patriotism have clicIted
them--a man, who, during our second war
for inde pendence, exerted, with the greatest
effect, his whole influence, to prosecute il
with vigor, aud bring II 10 glorious termID-
ation--who while others were longing for the
yesurn Of me golden days IF commercial
ayosherify," every nerve TO support the rights
and honor OF his coon'iy-who advanced his
whole fortune and credit IN the contest; while
o,hers, mo'e wealthy bat less patriotic, were
Illuminating on a miserable cent per cent pol
icy, totally regardless Of the sacrifice Of their
country, provided their schemes OF avarIce aud
ambition were promoted. The character Of
such man as M. ToMPxINs, will be res
pected and venera.cd, at home or abroad. at
the presen, and in fu,ufe--snd when & atlf.d
by ths sight Of him, virlonus people will
always feel The iiveliest emotions of pleasure.
