The packet ship John Wals, Captain Harris has
arrived at New York in AZ days from Liverrocl.,
bringing London papers TO the 7,h, and Liverpool

The news from Epiius is equally favourable.

and the instruction of the Pacha of Scodra
against the Ottoman authority is confirmed.
Of the gratifying nature is the intelligence
from Hydra, by which we Learn, that the de-
claration of independence by the Pacha of e.

his troops from the strong fortress of Crete,
thereby leaving the whole si.nd in the posses

the wealthy agricultnrists arc generally NOR,
interested in having the public roads kept in goot
order, than poor men, who keep no carriages, s
have but little to carry to market.
Notwithstanding all this, the Substitute SAYS, est
IS Impossible to conceiee ia,c that would be iniu
"fious,t 70 those who are not landholders, which
would Lot affect tie landholders themselves,
I'm an equal, if not in greater degreen. A
position, too palpably incorrect, for any time to
be wasted upon it.
But the writer of the Substitute, SO liberal, in
his praises of the class ofmen who constitute the
tended interest, that like the King of great Bri-
ta1n,) hey in his opinion, can do no wrong /; is
iar from being equally kind or charitable to the
poor, unfortunate merchants, mechanics and
others who constitute all the Other, interests
IN the comnunity.-He says of them ;--ss If the
government shall ever come TO be controlled.
or materially influenced by those who are not
"freeholders, laws may be enacted, which will
yitaiiy affect the land holders, and the landed
Interest, without touching the pa, ticular inte-
'rcsts OF those who enact them: they NAV i'm
tPose the heaviest taxation ca idnds &C. to then.
"o,cneatIre exemption and to the :g,.iccous on
6 preston of'thc iaaa-hoitlers",
In answer to this tremendous tocsin ofala,1n,
1t may simply be remarked, that the class in So
ciety who are not freeholders, cannot obtain the
ascendency in the government, as long as their
influence shall be checked and counteracted by
that OF the freeholders, among whom they must
be mingled, and from whom they n,iat ex-
pect employment and support. There can be
IN the Legislature, no separate representative
OF tRdt class, as there are Of the f,'cehoi1-
ers.-Ihe danger anticipated, is therefore alto.
scthcr ideal; and every fear excited by it,
when coolly considered by reason cmancipa-
ted from the dominion Of jealous and SUSPECT
GUS temper, must vanish in moment, like the
baseless fabric of a vision.
II we wish our political system to be happy
and peaceable; the laws TO be so framed as to
give general satisfaction, & not only to be good
IN themselves bat universally approved as such;
VIC must lay their foundations in the PRINCIPLES
OF cqtafty and s,tstice-Whcn this is done, all
heart burnings and dscord will be removed, and
Virginia will present the pleasing spectacle of

doubtful as 1t ever was, and defies from the num-
beriess contingencies which may yet occur, A.
ny thing like calculations. We see no reason
TO believe that the relative standing of the can
aidates had much changed, since the. Harris
burg Convention. That event gave General
Jackson decided prominence, and since then
nc has we think, been gaining some ground, all
over the Union-though not enough to decide
an his favor the vote of any doubtful state, unless
IL be North Carolina. We think that the cleo
uon viii turn upon the vote Of New York-ifit
be given to Mr.. Crawford, he will have vol. IS
enough to return him for a chance before the
House OF Representatives--If it be eiyen to
Mr. Adams, he will be elected by the Electors.
~ it DC given to Gen. jackson, of which there
IS no probability, he will have the largest Elec-
torai vote, though not enough to elect him.
The probability is, that the election will have to
De made by the lower House OF Congress-and
mat to exclude Gen. Jackson, Mr.. Crawford
VIII 1t necessary, yield to Mr.. Atoms, or nice
cersa.
It's singular thing that the friends of Mr.. C..
should be making sanguine calculations, upon
assistance from the friendship of the high toned
iederalists of New Ensland-and Messrs. Tim
othy Pickering, Gore, Otis, and the Hartford
Convention Phalanx, are all said to be i'm his ia
vor, and to be actively bcst;ring themselves in
his behalf "A combination is alleged to be
forming, between them, the faction at ALBANY,
and the friends of Mr.. Crawford in Congress-
BE il remembered, that Mr.. Crawford is call
ed by his friends, the ecclus;re> Republican can
dijate.
Connecticut strange to tell, has been lately
claimed for MIR. Crawford. That state, the
Legislature being now in session, has Just adop-
ted the General Ticket system, shutting Mr.
Crawford out from the hope of even stray dis
trictvote. The vote for this measure, was near
~ unanimous, and Mr.. Adams majority nearly
III the same ratio in the Legislature.
