In the fall of Tins year, we shall he call

Dues not the recent experience To whlcf

tonfide this trust To those only by whom
our will canaot be disobryed or nisrepre-
sented !? Although II be true, that the ex

an Easy and decisive triumph to the PEG
pies candidate, can we oppose too much
prrcauiion 10 the management and pat
ronagr Of intriguing politicians? Ought
we not AT once, To- make sure OF the dls-

safrages, for congressional stations, To
those who are a,owedly and firmly at

The town meeting of republicans in thu
city and county of Philadelphia, whence
tbs committee of sopcrinfendence and VI
GLANCE emanatcd, deemed the subject TO
which your attention is now drawn, wor'
thy of distinct and strong remark. II was u
leading object il then early movement : h
they hoped by eeergetc measures 10 gl'e
y successful circulation e. thrii sense OF
lis importance. Our tellow-clllzens, con
sideri the Prc,ldrnllsl election IN be re

ped upon what they are at tins moment
doing. Their dexlerous adversarirs, with
honey en their lips, bat poison al taeir
preaching the beauty of tranquility, aud
the folly Of premature contest hiie, IN
secret they lahour every nerve 10 make
the next congress of materials hostile TO
Jackson, and subsersent to Adams.
We do not tbuk ii necessary to impel
you TO efficiency and zeAl by Dwelling up
on the peculiar claims which the hero OF
New Orleans has 10 the Untring devotion
of his fellow citizens. Hi eminent yir-
tnes, his intelligence, his yalour, and his
cure repubIieanism, have been known,
witnessed aud felt by all If us. In war
and in peace--in the scenes of retirement,
Or when surrounded by faction and temp
lation-at the poagh or in the srnate-he
has, every where, uniformly proved that
he deserves to be chosen champion for
the cause of his country. In this respect,
he is alone IN America. Providence fur
DISHES, for the safety and pride of any ma
ton, hut one such man 1T time. Let us
avail ourselves Of the gift, aud reinstate
The PRINCIPLES of NAsnINGT0N under the
auspices of JACKSON.
ASH has been made our duty, so Hn-
doubleday will II be our pleasure, indus
triousiy IN advance the cause for whlch
thu peo,'le OF The u. c6late,, aud tbeir Ia

MS, however, not forget, that "hlle stead :
" bent upon securing the rlrctiou of onr
ctadlaate at the close Of the present pre-
,idenlial term, we must IN the mem TIM

faction; not suffering gu, just indignation
against these Who nave by artihce asurped
the rights of the people, to misleal us into
IN Understanding opposition 10 public
measures or indittive bitterness against
persoos. Let Us uphold what j. beneficial
with the same resoute spirit that we con-
denim What is injurious 90 our beloved
country adopting the frank declaration
of an energetic statesman. We nll
Judge of the measures Of the administra
ton by their own intrinsic merits but
we will not judge of the administration
b, their measures only, when they come
10 settle the account of their stewardship
and ask for a renewal oftheir trust )" we
will then, advert to the vice of their orr
gin, 10 the treachely aud corruption " hici
characterized their political birth
We are, fellow citizens, respectfully,
