POLITICAL.
In the present state Of political feeling, we do
not know any matter that tan be more interest
ing 10 our republican readers in this district,
than brief transcript of the sentiments OF those
republican papers in the state, which have APP
preached the question oftne mex, presidency.
Every thing ~ S most favorably for the
preservation of III republican party, and that
union and cordially will long be continued in
this state The Oneida Observer, the Albany
Argus, and the Troy Budget, all uniform re
publican papers, and equally non-commit'a'
with ourselves, unite in deprecarine the manner
in which the candidates for the presidency have
been treated II appears to be the anxious wish
of these influential journals 10 preserve the
ranks of the republican party unbroken, to a
void all premature committas, and to tall In
with the voice Of the majority of republicans
when it shall be sufficiently ascertalned. This
is our course "rhe people" says the Troy
Budget, "will NOT be easily induced to join the
standard of an interested or traitorous aspirant,
nor will they, wi,hou, good and sufficient cause,
withdraw their support from men whom they
have selected" This sentiment will certainly
be responded to by republicans.
The Canandagua Repository regrets the pre-
mature and illiberal agitation OF the question,
vet the time seems in the editors opinion 10
have arrived when II must he mantully met

editor considers TO be the same and similar win
those OF Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. DE

Mr. Van Buren,, which we think were unneces-
sary, (although as republican the editor has
right to his private oplnions.) we have no
| doubt his sentiments in favour OF The admistra
ton will receive that consideration which they
deserve. The Hudson Republican expresses
| similar sentiments
The Auburn Republican in speaking OF ma
nufactures say shat it is unQuestonably the
true policy Of our country to encourage in every
suitable way the establishment and protection
! of manufactures" This is doubtless correct
doctrine. The sentiments Of the country have
undergone a great change on this SUBJECT

part of the city Of New-fork, where the peo

| Tariff Policy. Here a considerable change is
taking place, and in few years when he ma
uufactures prosper little more, we have no
doubt but New York city will exhibit cores
| ponding change.
The Goshen Republican and the Syracuse
| Advertiser follow a course ofpolicy which must
add to their already great influence in the Re
publican Party The latter paper has mantully
recorded its dlsapproba,ion to the amalsama-
non system of Massachusetts, and defended
with much talent the attacks which have been
made upon the party in this state. On the
question of the presidential candidate to be sup
por,ed by New.York it awaits caucus, but al
The same time comments with freedom and JUS
tice on men and things Independent Re
publican OF Goshen, has manifested its oplnl'

which indicates where il is not. The editor is
favourable to the "protective SYSTEM" * what
ever tends to the prosperity of the people "shalI
ALWAYS receive his support HE is also SIRE
nuous in preserving The union Of the 2ePubi-
can family, considering this policy OF greater
moment than question o. mere men. In this
we mos, cordially agree with him. When we
mani, local or personal disputes TO enter the
republican ranks, at that moment the common
enemy will break in and destroy:us.
We have already mentioned to our readers
the course of the Monroe Republican upon the
presidential question, and that the editor of
| that naper has declared himseaf In favour OF
the measures of the present administration
and against those opposed to it. The follow
ing extract from that print of the 5th inst. con-
tains such sound doctrines, clearly and under
standingly expressed, that we cannot deprive
our republican readers Of it:
! An union OF sentiment and action in the Re-
publican party of this state, upon the Preslden-
tial question, is doubtless very desirable. Uni
ted, this state is great and powerful; divided,
her influence is frittered away, and is perhaps
worse than lost But union to be productive
of good results must proceed from the convic-
ton of the mass of the people that they are
uniting to advance their best interests. sia-
wish union to forward the views of afew men IS
degrading, and cannot be expected from enlight-
ened freemen. When we ventured to express
our on;nions few weeks since upon this great
