Things IN WnSl,ington.-It is said that things
are remarkably still i'll WashiDgton-very little
sad, and perhaps not much doing IN the Pres-
dental Election. We wish that this calm may
may not pOrtend n storm, and, as we have heard
old people say of the month of March, that
'coming in like limb, it may not 20 out like A
Hon." IT is not known for whom Mr.. CHM will
exert his influence, If, as is generally believed,
he has lost Louisiana, and been excluded from
the House of Representatives. The most pro.
bable conjecture is, that he win take no particu-
lar interest in the election. 1t is said that seve
raj states will lose their votes, by the division
entertained. that the friends of Mcssrs. Adams
and Crawfoml will coalesce; and that, after the
first ballot, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia,
Delaware, New York, Maryland and New Jer-
sey, will cooperate with the six New England
states i'll choosing MIR. Adans--an Atlantic Pre-
sideut, and man, if Objectionable on some
grounds, eligible Oh others, and every way pre-
ierable to Jackson. 1t is Conceded, that MIR.
Crawford cannot be elected, and il is understood
that Adams is, after him, the choice of the Vir-
gina representation. In this they will be sus-
tanned BY nuc-tenths OF the friends of Mr.. Craw-
ford in this state. "AUy body but Jackson
like the old Romans Carthage must be destroy

man who couvcrses on the subject.

We regard the people as the fountain of all
legitimate auth 'ty, and think that it is conso-
nant with our free and representative system OF
government, that by fair expression of their
choice, they should elect tic President and Vice
President of the United States. We depre-
cate any policy, measure, or influence, calcuIa-
ted to defeat or even render doubtful the peo-
pies will, on so interesting a subject. ANY at
tempt to trench on this sacred right of the poo
pie, or to divert this important power from it's
proper channel, or in any way Illustrate or i'm
pede the due exercise of It, should, in our opin-
ION, be viewed with alarm and distrust. Abu-
seq, long tolerated, arc apt to grow into prece-
dent, a1d precedent to be taken for authority.

interest some Of our distant readers who have not

In presenting our hrst sheet to its patrons, We
will avail ourselves Of the privilege which custom
has given us further to unfold our views and expec
tations. AS We observed in cur prospectus, in de-
dicatng this paper to the ladies particularly, we do
80 with the "hope of exciting in their minds spi-
r of emulation, and taste for the cultivation of H.
terature." The performance Of such task, we are
well aware, would have devoved with much more
propriety upon an ADLER head but As no one else,
in our circle, has assumed the pleasant duty, we
will enter upon it, with diidence it is true, but not
without cheerfulness sufficient to enable US to with
stand the rude blasts of criticism The rose of the
wilderness, though it bloom more solidarity than that
of the summer house, may not be less fragrant
Yet as the same variety is not to be found in the
desert that decorates the cultivated garden, we are
sure our fair readers, expecting but little, will be
too magnanimous to censure much.
One of the best poets that ever lived has truly
said s.
"FuHmany flower Is born to blush Unseen,
find zvaste It's s1ueetness on the desert air."
Our aim will therefore be, not to become conspi-
by the culture of new flowers to strew in their
paths, but principally to collect and dffuse those
which have already bloomed their brief hour, and
are now perishng in the chill winds of neglect
Perhaps some may think that it does not well be-
come one who has not yet attained the age at which
the judgment is matired. to attempt to improve or
direct the taste Of females 1t may even be deemed
presumption. Our object, however, being rather
to entertain than instruct, we hope to escape the
imputaton of desire to dictate. Yet, with all the
Difference due to the sex-with all the tmidity
which their loveliness, and all the reverence which
their '7irtues, have inspired in our bosoms-with
due Sc nse Of gratitude for their manifold kindnesses
and tender assiduties-we viii presume, OCCASION
ally, to spread before them prece ITS for their 60
vernment, examples for their imitation, and models
for their improvement. These precepts, examples,
and models. however, shall not be the fruits Of our

predict, that the period is not very remote, when
the American female will celebrate. in flowing

roes Of her countryside pre-emnence of its insti-
tutions-the virtues of its ctizens-the boldness

Actuated by the fond expectation that we shall,
in some measure, aid the cause of virtue, and incite
the mind to useful research, we will pursue the
task, without the vanity to expect any other plaudt
than than which candor and Eberality' will ever
award to zeal in good cause.
G Although this work is particularly devoted
to the ladies', t.must not be inferred that gentle
