was much amused in reading 8. Harker's Ad-
dress to the Federalists of Delaware. wide Del.
Gazette of the esd inst.) The ingenuity mani
tested BY the champion of Jackson and Federalism,
is alarmingty striking. After decrying the De-
mocratic Governors Of this State, their principles
and their measures-after having denounced the
ascendency of the Democratic Party as the most
injurious and anarchcal, destructive both to the
I. honor and interests Of the State," and express
sing and implying that neither knowledge nor in
tegrty characterized their minds or guided their
measures, that the Democratic policy was sub
versiye of all goodness and productive of all ev,-
after all this, at the close of his " address, he ex-
hoi all good and substantial Federalists to vote
for Jackson, because he is Democrat "trom
principle" How Mr. Harker can deprecate De-
mocracy and all its advocates in one paragraph
and then recommend Democrat " from principle"
as proper candidate for the Presidential chair, in
anothsr--on the same day andin the same address
is thing which can be reconciled in no mind but
his own. He holds up Democracy as the Demon
of Destruction, yet in the same breath bids his
friends give Democrat from principle, their
suffrages. This is all Of piece with Mr.. Harker
Think not, Messrs. Editors, that doubt or de.
precate the soundness Of Gen Jackson's princi
pIes of Democracy. / revere them and consider
them as his highest and most reasonable and sub
stantal recommendations to tho Presidency. 1t
he were not Democrat, all that he has done would
never have brought him into the field as candi-
date for the "hishest gift Of the People" All
wish to incucate expose is the ingenuity (incon-
sstency) Of the Editor of the Gazette.
But further. Mr.. Harker's objections to Mr..
Adams are the strongest reasons for his support
and election by the Democrats Of this State and all
others. Mr.. Adams has been for long time the
most powerful opponent of Federalism. The etfi-
cient opposition which he urged against the Fed
eral party during the last war must ever be remem-
bered with gratitude by the present Democratic
ascertlencv. When Federalism, aristocracy's
hopeful child, reared its hypocrtical and treacher-
Gus head amongst US, plotting the dismemberment
of the Union and the destruction Of Republican
ism, JOHN @. ADAMS stood as mighty champion
welded the powerful influence of his knowledge
and talents in their defence Federalism feels
that he had much to do in her downfall-he has
wounded her deeply and still, with malignity,
she breathes through her agents, the bitterest i'm

precautions against him. These deeds which he
has achieved for his party should secure for him
tie cheerful vote Of every Democrat
Another overwhelming objection of Mr.. Harker
against Mr.. Adams, is the manner of his election.
He was chosen BY majority of the House Of Re-
presentatves, in the mode prescribed by the Con-
stitution of the United States, and this is reason
why he should not be supported, by Mr.. Harker
and his party which he is pleased to serve. Where
is the man who is afraid to trust the principles and
forms Of our Constitution? 1t has served US faith
fully and advantageously for many years, and we
should not break it to pieces heap abuse upon it
unadvisedly. / must acknowledge the present
mode of electing the President and Vice President
Of the United States is, in my opinion, liable to
some objections; but still, in the late election Of
J. Q. Adams, the Representatives Of the People
acted constitutionally and honestly. | think the
Representative should speak the voice Of his Con-
stituents; and if Representative had consulted
his, the cote Of Delaware aCould not haze been
THROWN AWAY. But is it any objection to Pre-
silent that he has been constitutionally elected ?
1t may dsqualify man, it may shake his integrity
and dull his intellect, in Mr.. Harker's opinion.
but every reasonable man must ridicule such an
opinion MIR. Harker has many queer notions,
and this is one Of them, that Mr. Adams should
not be elected to the next Presidency, because he
was chosen in the manner prescribed BY the Con-
stitution.
But Mr.. Harker's reasons why Federaists should
vote for Jackson should be powerful stimuli in
Democrats to oppose him. Jackson's policy, says
Mr.. Harker, is to give the Federalists distinction
and efficiency in the government she is to be the
patron of that party who threw obstacles in the
way Of !. the second war of independence, ,"-he
is to befriend those traitors Of their land who
would have sacrificed US to the oppression of Bri-
tain sin word Federalism and its friends are to
|be fostered under his paternal care, and in time
regain that destructive strength which once made
them as terrific as they are now weak. If Democ-
racy is worth preserving, all its friends should
unite in giving their suffrages to its firm and able
friend and advocate. John Q. Adams has been
acknowledged by Federalists as their most vio-
lent opposershe has done bis country invaluable
service in assisting to crush the destroyer of Re-
publican Liberty-and should ever be remembered
with gratitude by the Democratic party for the SER
vices he has rendered their party, and the wisdom
with which he has guided the councils Of his coun-
try. X.

h that enterprising city. at which committee was
nnonted to take the subject into consideration,
Fr,end has lust furnished US with the report, and
se have read it with the deepest feelings OF graft
Ecaton. We have long since been satisfied of the
bracticability and superiority of Rail Roads, over
very other means of transportation, and whilst
[es;dent in another State we exerted ourselves to
|be utmost in trying to render the Rail Road sys-
em more popular and acceptable than canal.
The result of Mr.. Strickland's visit to England,

e have lately joined in the cry in favor Of canals
because we considered this was as far as public
oninion was as yet prepared to go. Canals are
Certainly great deal better than turnpikes, pre-
Earious water courses but Rail Roads are as much
uperior to Canals as Canals are to the Pennsylva-

sng in Baltimore, we are pleased that such an
knterprisng place should have taken up the idea.
md we almost rejoice that the affairs of that city
ave been so threatened, as to render the attempt
Indispensable to her prosperity. The trade and
reductions of the inexhaustible and fertile plains
bf the West have become the grand object of con-
est for our Atlantic cities. The struggle is proof

be the natural result. The West herself, in the
went of success, will burst into new state of ex-
stence and find that although too long neglected,
She is doomed to take rank, equal in natural ad
Gantages, to our hitherto, more happily situated
Atantic borders. With our Rivers and Canals
