Mn. Ep,roR,-It is generally admitted.
that however it!le the decision OF any so.
ciety may be in favor OF one man. the pull
fers, or friends of that man, can magnify
and embellsh il to such degree, as tor 1t
10 sound more loudly in his praise. This
remark was ELECTED from me by the edito-
rial notice in the alexandria Herald OF
Wednesday, in which he takes particular
pains 10 mention the decision OF the feri-
clean Society OF this town, Oh the question
Of the Presidential election.
As a member of that society, ani one
who voted in the negative, deem II my
duty to notice the incorrectness OF The re.
mark and then the sditor oil the Herald
may have an opportunity Of vindicating
an assertion so widely remote from truth.
Ii is true, sir, that the Periclean Socie-
ty did discuss the question as to The expe'
diency of eleeting John Quincy Adams
president; but as equally untrue that Mes
sra. Clay and Crawford had any thing to
do with the subject. The expediency Of
slecting Messrs. Clay and Crawford was
not discussed, although they were brought
in in the course Of the debate and it is
due TO truth and justice to state, tina! the
question was carried in favor Of Mr.. A
dams,-because many gentlemen who vo.
ted in the affirmative, believe that it had
no bearing on other candidates and not
as stated by the editor of the Herald.
which would it be most expedient to E.
lect, John Quincy Adams, VIM. H. Craw
ford. or Henry Clay" The former was
the error iH which many of The affirmative
were led, and had the question been. as
Incorrectly stated in the Herald, there was
no doubt but it would have been decided
In the negative.
The FIRST remark concerning The buffers
or friends of Mr.. Adams, nay probably
sound rather too harsh for the refined ears
OF the editor of the Herald but his ia
king such particular pains Oh Wednesday
TO loudly proclaim his, which might
have The slightest tendency TO operate in
favor of tbat gentleman, is a sufficient
cause tor the remark. VFRifAS.

COUNCIL ELECTION.


Ma. EDIfoR,--At one time the only
gift in the power of the people of this
town, (the election OF members TO the
council) was looked upon with the most
intense feeling OF patriotism and impor.
lance on whom their sufrages were be-.
slowed, which so interesting an appoint
ment meri!ed. But, sir, time has degene-
rated the people; they no longer look up
on il as once they did they no longer see
II a. an Office OF great responsibility they
behold il az one in which there is not in
terest enough to vote: they do not, as they
did, rally round the polls. and use their
influence and exert their best endeavOrs to
elect to the council, men, who are firm IN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS solely aim at the vel
fare Of The people--who are ever ready Il
willing to be guided by their constituents
who have no motives OF seit.aggran-
dizement, and who look down with pity
upon the suferings OF the poor and the
needy. every day becoming worse, by the
rapacious thirst oil gain which actuates
those who are dressed in little brief aa-
thority.
1t is sincerely hoped by every well
wisheF to the town, that the coming coua-
Gil may be composed of men, steadfast in
the principles Of Washington-6rm and
undertaking in promoting the good OF their
constitueats--abolishing the corruption at
present existing ia the police, aud rectify.
ing evils aud abuses. The following tic
ket, it is said, viii be supported for the

Jesse Y. Ramsay. Root l. White.
and that it may succeed is the earnest wish
of an INDEPENDENT VOTER.
