#onished Mr. Jeferson's day? He has demonstrated
Its love of peace, not by professions, but by main
Itainng peace with all the world during the whole
8neriod Of his administration. His attachment TO
economy is apparent, from the order that has been
introduced, under his auspices, into every depart
rnent the strict accountability of public agents, by
which the expenditures have been so admirably con
trolledtha in the disbursement of some millions
nually by the War Department especially, not one
cent is lost. Though our population Is doubled,
The army is reduced below the standard OF Mr.. JEFF
\ fersons. What then,do the entleman, who pirate
about economy, love of peace, and the principles Of
Mr. Jefferson, until sicken at the sound, desire
| call upon DetalCare' to come out, and explain
the policy and the projects Of Mr. Crawford's friends
what is the nature of the political millennium promis-
ed to us, if we elect the candidate who is attach
ed TO peace, economy and the principles OF Mr..
Jefferson In the fanatical days Of the British Com
monwealth, when republican government had been
established upon the ruin of king, mobiles and pre-
lates, new political sect arose, who assumed the
style of fifth monarchy -men, and who, thinking the
State not yet sufficiently reformed, avowed their
dissatisfaction at an order things which, by impo
sing the restraints Of regular governmentset bounds
TO their visionary schemes and propensities. new
and bright idea suggested-it was determined
to dispense altogether with the restraint Of human
laws unsuted to the perfection ofthe ages to set
up--the Kingdom Of the saints. This sanctimonious
scheme ended, as every body knows, in the despot-
ism of Cromwell, one Of the most active promoters
Of the sanity project.
Without any pretensions to the sincerity of the
seaots OF Cromwell's day, the schemes of reform
promised by our friends of peace, economy and Mr.
JefTerson's principles are as prepostcrous as the
widest dreams of fanatcism. They are indeed
thar preposterous; for they have no basis to
stand upon but the grossest mist representation &
consistency. They talk of peace, as if the present
administration breathed nothing but war they
boast of their love of economy as if the public trea
sury was open to every peculator; and they pro.
pose to renew the hacyon days of Mr. Jefferson,
through the agency Of candidate who in the days
Of '98, lauded the standing army, the sedon and
alien laws and, in Mr.. Jefferson's time, opposed,
aud voted with the federasts against the most
prominent measure and characteristic feature Of his
administration. A DELAWARE REPUBLICAN.

the admission of this fact that the advocates of Caucus
found their argument. If Congress be so acted on
then election by them to be deprecated as national
misfortune. The only known mode Of preventing this
form OF election, is to concentrate public opinion and
thus give the election to the people, the usual nay the only
means of effecting this, Caucus President elected
by the small States with majority of Congress opposed
to him, might be President by the Constitution but ven
ure to say his term would be but four years. aud his office
any thing but Couch of Roses. The logic of"Newcaste"
rs rressbly ludicrous. Congress may be corrupted
therefore they ought not TO recommend President bur
ought to be entrusted, nay, obliged elect Such
argumenatons very happily illustrated by the very nOue
historical fact that Caudus whom old historians have
hitherto mistakenly set forth having been dragged By
the Sodery from his hiding place to the throne bought
the Roman Empire.
That an honest difference of opinion may and does exist
both as to the fitness of the candidates and of the proprey
of Caucus nomination cannot be doubted. These differ
ences ought to be discussed in the spirit Of canur aud
orbearance, and the these are lost sight Of we

THE TARIFF BILL.-The National Intelli-
gencer of Saturday says" he vote which was
taken yesterday, in the House of Represertativ
for reducing the proposed duty on iron from one
dollar and twelve cents per cwt. to ninety cents we
understand, jeopardzes The whole bill for revision
otthe tariff OF duties on imports. With this amend
ment of the bill, some of its warmest friends become
its opponents, at least Indifferent to it, The fate
Of the bill is therefore now more doubtful than ever.'
On the above subject, the Washington Republi-
can holds the following language Sc The !ntelli-
gencer Of this morning seems to consider The vote
on the reduction oil the duty on iron, as in some
measure. indicative of the defeat Of the bill We
are not exactly Of that opinion. We have never
doubted that important notifications would be made
in the bill as it was reported from the Committee;
and we still retain original impression that, in
a modified state, it will finally pass the house. a

VOICE OF VIRGINIA.-The election OF
General Jackson is viewed with general apprehen-
sion and to prevent that do doubt but Virgin
ia will vote for Mr.. Adams as the only candidate who
by his own strength, with her assistance, can pre-
vent it. In confirmation of this, we publish the
annexed extract of letter from Stanton, from a
gentleman Of intelligence and responsibility.
Recently, have become more fully convinced
that Mr.. Adams will receive the vote of Virginia
for the Presidency. Some of the waimest sup.
porters Of Mr. Crawford in this place and vicinity,
have become alarmed at the prospect of Gen. Jack
sons being raised TO the Presidency, and have de-
termlned, should present appearances continue, to
abandon their favorite and support Adams"

POLICE Some time ago the house OF a
captain OF vessel, who resides in the Bowery, was
robbed, and note left ON the manepiece, running
thus:
E' The DEVILS compliments to the captain; and
he has only at this time taken jug of brandy, a
pair OF candlestiCks and some other trhes, but at
his next visit he will take the captain himself"
Ii seems from the complaint of lady yesterday
to the police that the house has again been robbed
The Devil alluded to had called, according to pro-
mise, but as the captain was at sea, he consoled
himself by carrying away trunk, containing about
seventy dollars in money, several valuable dresses,
and silver spoons. The officers of police have
gone in search of his satanic majesty and we
think as they match for him, he will soon
change his quarters to cool situation on the
borders of the North River We expect that he
will return all the articles excepting the Jug OF bran
dy.

example of the figure ofpersonihcation. The
author is comparing our Saviour with Ma

orravcd in armour and blood, riding III
triumph over the spols of thousands who tell
nv her victorious sword. Show her the
cities which he set i'll flames, the countries
which he ravagcd and destroyed, the mlser-
abe distress of all the inhabitants OF the
earth. When she has reviewed them in tins
scene, carry her into his retirement-show
her the prophets chamber; his concuoines
and his wives and let him hear HIM ailege
revilation and divine commission, toJustify
his adultery and lust. When she is tired OF
this prospect, then show her the blessed Je,
sus humble, meek, doing good to all the sons
of men.--I.et her see him in the most retir'
ed pryacics, and let her follow him to thu
moust and hear his devotion and supplicants
Carry her to his table, to view his poor fare
