with our ancient enemy, no individual IL
New. England did SO much for his coun.
try ard government as James D'Noif.
His mind and person were III continual
| and .active employ rendering al.
those valuable services which itspectl-
bic talents and vast pecunia. means en-
abled him 10 render. BY his iuIds and
enterprize, the enemy was despoiled OF
more than FIVE millions Of dollars. He
loaned to the government, when its cred
| it was at the low ST, more than S4OC, COO;
of which sum 6.ty odd thousand dosi.as
were advanced for building a ship of
war, when money couid lJe obtained
from no other .turce. Shall it be said,
that the promotion Of such a man is
disgraceiul ?'' But the true cause of
ultra federal OPT osition to him may Le
found in he iaas last above siattG.--
James D'Wolf is a Republican, and
more efficiently Executed the dcclsTatioa
of war against Great Britain than any
other nan in this quarter Of the Unioi..
For this he will tnrver be forgiven by
some hnt Republicans respect and wiA

If such scers had been acted in tl.e
United States as lie people of England
have lately witrcssd; il the lady of one
! of our Presidents lad been treated as th>
Queen Consort o Englmd has bcens
if the same cilargts OF immortality and
debauchery could be adduced against ouf
Chief Magistrate, which substan,iated p
gainst George th; Fourth, what would
be said in Europ5 and indeed Though
out the whole word? The advocates cf
royalty would at 0,ce point the finger q.
Lscorn. They would exclsim, :" See the
effects of your blessed republican sys-
tens. You go to the peoblc for your
rulers and chief oiicers, and in bringing
them into high places, you bring with
them the most atrpcious vices, the vilest
passions, aid the.uost disgusting obscel-
iiy." But how bright contrast does
the fact afford, in favor of onr republican
sy ystems tits royalty which is thus deep
| ly tinctured with vice and immoralitY,
while the republicNism of america, fresh
and fragrant as the air from cur mountlins.
breathes health and peace to suffering
world.-Beston PGniot.
The situation Of the L. States, (says
the Baltimore Morning Chronicle) is
somewhat peculiar. 1herr is nothing
said about the ensuing re-elecfion, ard
Mr. Monroe is known to he the man.
An election Of die c,leiI magistrate in this
country occasions 10 more commotion
than thar OF town constable. So much
for the dread Of mobs in a seyoutionary
government! Legitimacy, on the other
hand, is constantly surousded by mill
tary force, to peeserve the people from
insurrection. lodeed, we hrmly believe
that there is no safety for monarchies,
unless they too ase founded ON revolution
ary principles, in other words on the bob-
niar voice. The old exploded docjrine
OF the divine right oi kings, and other lof.
ty pretensions Of the same sort, attempt
ed to be put inIractice, might have done
for other times. but they only serve to
shake the foundations of monarchical Sc.
curity now.
