when the actual majority WAS only 47S-being
out in his calculation not more than 672 But why
dwell on this variation Another Coalition pint in
this State, published an estimate OF 33 counties
which gave Adams majority OF about POO votes

many votes in 1923 az he received in I92t'-,hat

The Petersburg Integencer (another 4drnr }
Gcprecates the hints that have been thrown out in
some Of the papers about certain E" candidates for
the Presidency AZ the expiration OF the next four
years" ut subjoins the following remarks, which
just and appropriate, tina, gives pleasure
to re-pubsh and subscribe to them " This
early agitation of the question is much TO be de-
Lrecated. 1.-THE scenes OF the last four years are

country, enjoy some little respite from the mad
ness, the folly, and the heart sickening effects OF
party warfare;-iet us rather first eRdeayour 10

decorated feelings of those who have been injured
in the late contest, and bring back the Press a
proper Of what is due 10 the virtue and intel
lgence OF the People in the discussion of so i'm
portant subject--a subject which CALI for argu-
Inent, and not for scurriltytor principles, and no,
the elevation of particular individuals. The puri-
ty of our institutions is more likely to be endan-
.ered by continual cor fiict of all the passions OF
party, than they possibly be by The election of
either Of the prominent individuals now before the
public. The People owe il 10 themselves and 10
the high character of their country, 10 di-countc-
nance any attempt, at this early period, 10 com

sail have had full view oil the measures and pol
icy Of the next Administration Till then, let lis
remain at peace with each other, and look solely 10
the prosperity Of our county, How much more
honourabIenre such sentiments, than the inflam-
matory appeals oil the vindictive Hotspurs, or the
insidious calculators OF the Coalition Presses.
II is with ego TO such presses, and the disap-
painted or ambitious men who set them on, that
the Trenton Emporium "a Jackson prinO observes,
that" Our opponents, broken up, and defeated as
party, will resort 10 every scheme to divide US
/ They have tried their united strength, and have
iaed-to &c divide and conquer" will be their last
resort. Let the foundation OF the new admnistra-
ton be laid those principles Of painness,
ony, and devotion TO all the great interests of the
country, which will commend il 10 the affection
and confidence of the people-and it will be safe
Let favoritism and intrigue, be banshed--and
practical utility govern all its measures. TIE beau
tful order and simplicity o. plain republican prin
cpies applied in practice, to all the affairs OF state
4 will speedily secure from the storms o! discort
and bid defiance to The efforts of ambitious, dis
organizing iactionsts."
Il is in following up the saine train OF thought
that the Petersburg Old Dominion declares, tha
A 1.-THE friends OF Gen. Jackson have plain path e
pursue. To use a homely, tho emphatic phrase
they must stick together, and give his admins
traton an honest and decided support, when ii car
be done consistently with principle. Should oppo
si,ion to any of his propositions become necessary
+ let it be manly but decorous. Above all, they
must avoid divisions and disseD,ions among them

to contend with, whose snbety and cunning vii
improve every opportunity 10 effect the prostraiioi
] OF the party, by whom that foe has been signal
ly overtirown."
II feU ofthc Administration prints, indeed, are
forgetful Of all the injunctons OF moderation, OF
! justice, OF common prudence and common decen
