TCoMMUNIcATIoN.1

1t is fact no less singular than true,
that, notwithstanding there is evidently
in this Congressional District, a large
majority Of Federal Republicans, in the
two last trials for the choice Of Rep
resentative to Congress, they have fail
ed in electing one of their own number.
In the first instance, they were and are
misrepresented by a Democrat, and owe
it to scattering votes, that their political
adversaries did not prevail in the last
What is the reason of this 1t is sure
ly plain aud obvious.--The people
think it an absurdity to send man to
represent them, who has publickly ex-
pressed decided determination to ad-
vocate and promote course of meas
ures, directly opposed to the wishes and
opinions of a majority of this District.
Two several caucusses, composed prin-
cipally of Manufacturers, have nomiuat-
ed Mr. Adams, as their Representative
to Congress---have issued and distributed
their circulars, and taken great pains to
promote and insure his election. In
both instances, the freemen of the Dis
trict have negatived the nomination, by
refusing to support him as their can
didate. For the safety and honour of
the Federal interest, let us beware the
third time. 1t is in vain TO believe, that
the well-inlormed yeomanry of this Dis
trict will permit selsorganized and
selfinterested caucus to palm upon
them, and compel them TO receive as
the Representative Of their choice,
one whose legislative principles and
opinions are well known TO be directly
the reverse of their own.
A large number of Federalists, who !
have heretofore stood aloof in these con-
tentions, because, though nwilling, from
principle, 10 promote Mr.. Adams's cleo
ton, they would refrain from doing any

REMARKS.

Our readers will, we think, be no less aston
ished than we are at the delusior of those
who think that Mr.. Hastings can be elected
the Representative in Congress from this Dis
trict. With regard to Mr.. Adams. we only
say, that he was the regularly nominated can
didate-nominated after unusual efforts made
to induce general attendance of the citizens
OF the District at the meeting-and nominal
ed, too, by alarge majority of meeting at
which MIR. Hastings was present and acted
10 talk, then, of 6 a selforganized and self
constituted caucus,'' is more than diseneenu-
ous---it is a palpable Misrepresentation.
Whether or not MIR. Adams can be elected,
we know not, nor are we very soiicitous.-
We feel bound, however, unpleasant as the
duty is, to apprize The particular friends Of
fir. Hastings, that his name has not been held
up from an expectation or wish that he
should be elected. Tbs has been frankly a.
vowed by those who made use Of his name to
prevent the election of Mr.. Adams and it is
well understood that, il new nomination is
made, MIR. Hastings viii not be the candi-
date.
For ourselves we have no personal predi-
iections IN this affair. We have supported
Mr. Adams, not only because he was nomi-
mated, but because we believe there is no pros

qualified by experience, frmness, and ster7.

But tbs serves to increase the difficulty of
making selection, and to multiply the dan

1t Is certainly the dictate of wisdom. to con-

what have hitherto existed. 1t is not i'm
probable that some of them are already or
ganized, and ready to act in concert. when
occasion shall require. 1t is not necessary.
perhaps it is not prudent, now to designate
them. They may not, at any time, assume
discriminating names but their respc i've
views, and the extent of their powers will be
fully developed when time shall demand their
exertions. 1t is earnestly hoped, that the sub
ject will undergo full and candid examina-
ton in the publick journals, before any publick
meeting is held in Boston Tor the purpose of
nomination.
1t is the intention of the writer to state and
