PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The Nation
al Intelligencer. in speaking of the result
of the Presidential election, closes with the
following remarks: "Iu the total disap-
pointment of our wishes and our expecta-
lions, bv the result of this contest, we can
truly say, with the illustrious Jefferson, that
our confidence in the durability of this gov
eminent has been more impaired than by
any other event which has occurred since
its existence. Not that we fear that, dur
inc the Administration of Gen. Jackson, the
sovereign power will he usurped, or the
Union dissolved. OF these dire events we
have no immediate apprehension. But the
event has demonstrated that it is in tine
power of few willy intriguerS, awaiting
themselves of the casual popularity OF Il
successful soldier. to possess themselves OF
the high places of the Republic, TO the ex-
clusion of talent. virtue. and eminent public
merit, sedulously anil successfully devoted
10 the promotion of the best interests of the
country. 1t has established more omni-
onsly still1 that the people of this Republic
are not proofs against the glare and the
decisions of military fame, and that though
the Republic NAV he safe under Andrew
Jackson. with bnt few regiments of we'll
disposed soldiers in camp or garrison, it
NAV, at some day. not far distant, heromc,
under the same sort of Influence, subject 10
the sway Of some soldier of fortune, with
victorious legions under his command,
whose large ambition the constitutional
honors of the country may suffice not TO
CRAFTY So murh for the 70 'eho,iings of
I what may happen in time tn Gonna We
I VIII, for the present, dwell no longer upon
that painful theme. Assuming for fact that
Gen. jackson is to be President Of the
I United States for the next tenn of that Of
/ fee, we wish that his Administration may
rebound to his own honor, and to the ma
tional prosperity: that he may follow in the
I footsteps of the illns:rlouS men who have
! preceded him in office: that, for his land
marks and guides. he may take their sub
mission TO the laws, their regard for per-
sonal rights, their devotion exclusively to
! the public COOL: that he may repel the Off
/ riouS intrusion of the interested counsellors
/ by whom he will find himself urlounIed,
and listen to the dictates only of COOL NOR
ais and of sound discretion: that, in his
public policy, he will cultivate harmony at

/ short, so cOnIurt the affairs of the iIovern-
ment, rs to disappoint nll the predictions
and all the fears of his adverSaIies. and

"Of Mr.. Adams. the incumbent of tAe

We have seen in a number of the New Bed
ford Courier a vile attack made upon Doctor
Preston, who recently visit ed that town for the
purpose Of Introducing lis cure for intemper-
ance. An article signcd by Mr.. CoDgdon
who is editor Of tina, paper, charges the Doc
tor with ''refusing to pay his bill for adverts-
ing, telling the boy who pl esented it that il
was a gross insult" wherefore Mr. Congdon
warns the printers to beware, &c.
We are authorised to say that this statement
is entirely without foundation. The advertise
ing was done at the request Of several gentle
men Of New Bedford who rendered their SER
vices on DIR. Preston's arrival 10 introduce him
to the notice ofthe public. Instead Of making
out tho bill against them as he shorld have
dono, Mr. c. charged it to the Doctor and sent
| il 10 him for pa yment. The lad who carried
il was informed by tho Doctor that he would
willingly discharge the small bill if he wero
assured tho gentlemen who requested the prin-
| ting done would not think il an insult 10 them
as they had voluntarily procured it. What
story the boy told Mr.. Congdon, we know not,
that should have induced him to publish the
sea nda lous libel before alluded TO. Ii is a
gross abuse and prostitution of the press 10 in
! troduce to the view Of Tie world petty disputes
that sometimes arise between individuals In
the adjusting Of their accounts and we had bo-
lieved Mr. Congdon possessed Of more magma
nimity and better judgment than TO have adop-
ted this course.
