At the last election of President, those
three distinguished individuals, with 9th

state in the electoral College, gave an u.
nanimous vote for the present incumbent.
No choice was effected by the first mode
pointed out by the constitution. The three
candidates named were returned TO the
House of Representatives, and the same
Constitution devolved upon that body, the
responsible duty of deciding between them.
In that House was honored by my fellow
citizens with a seat.-The solemn and i'm

latter boundary that streamers can be seen;
for beyond that the reflected rays will pass
the bounds where the atmosphere has pow
er To reflect them back on the earth {:
therefore, in our latitude, the streamers
generally disappear before midnight but
in higher latitudes they are seen at that
time, being higher the boundary of light (;
and for the same reason they are seen in
the northern regions through a greater
part of the year.
From the two times on which this phe-
nomenon was seen so nearly conciding, it
is probable that it cannot be produced ex-
cept when the earth and the sun are in the
same relative position.
The tuscs alluded to- it will be recollect-
ed, were near the autumnal equinox, from
about till 10 O'clock in the evening +; and
ii is scarcely to be supposed that the ocean
could be frozen at that time Of the year in
the direction of the sun between those
hours. But the surface Of the water seems
quite adequate to reflect the rays Of the
sun with all the splendor displayed by that
beautiful phenomenon, when we consider
the great obliquity of the incidental rays,
hnd their reflection into the dark serc no
atmosphere which on those evenings ia.
yored their exhibition.
IL may be asked, if the cause of the Au-
rora Borenls is as above explained, why
arc they not always visible at the two pc.
riods before mentioned? The answer is,
So they would, were the atmosphere al
ways in that state of purity which is essen.
tial TO their exhibition. But the complete
absence ofclouds in so vast an extent of a
northern skv must be very rarc
In more limited space, the atmosphere
must be more frequently in such state of
serenity as to favor the exhibition of those
phenomena which, with other causes be
fore mentioned, is no doubt the reason of
the frequency of their appearance in a
more northern latitude.

the assertions or opinions of any one man
The republicans Of the United States have
too long listened with pride and with tri.
umph TO The voice ofthe orator who has de-
Tended, and successfully, before the word,
the principles they profess. With pleas, re
they have seen their able chsmpion, Tor
years, by the almost unanimous choice OF
the National Legislature, presiding over
their deliberations. They approved ibat
jndicious selection OF former Preside mt,
which associated him with Adams, he
all important negotiations at Ghent. They
assented to his refusal to take the highest
Office in the gift of the President, when II
had been repeatedly offered him, only that
they might enjoy his services in other sta
tions. And yet is the President to be de-
nounced for this appointment Us his ac-
ceptance proof Of corruption? Would il
have been corrupt in him 10 have accepted

gentlemen, for devotlng moment TO the

The head of the Post Office department
is the same efficient officer, whom Mr.. Ad-
ans found there, and each and all of these
individuals are the undertaking republicans,
and still sustain these principles, for the sup
port of which the people OF this country
have given them their confidence and be-
slowed upon them their honors.
