For THE sPECTAToR.


Though am but poorly qualified for
writing in the newspapers, if you have
no objection, | wish to offer to my fellow
citizens some crude reflections upon the
approaching election for Congress.
1t seems to me that much is said in
the writings in the papers, that is more
calculated to bewilder than enlighten
our judgements in chusing between the
two two candidates that have offered their
services to US. A great deal is said
about the parties that have existed in this
state, and about the relative merits and
dement's of particular men, which don't
see any necessity TO dispute about.
may not have been long enough in this
country to be good Judge of these
things; but from all | can learn the
main objects of the parties are, on one
side to keep their places, and on the
other TO get them; and it is much to be
feared that self-interest and ambition
have too much sway with both sides,
therefore think it fortunate that we have
ground enough to decide upon between
the two candidates, without inquiring
whether this or that influential man sup
ports either ofthem; and in chusinp be-
tween them it is not right to be influenced
IN favor OF, or deferred from supporting
the man whom we think most worthy, be-
cause any other man supports or oppos-
es him. For men care but littlc--but
tor principle much; and my support Of
