They say now. that if NIetcaAe Is elected,

President. This proves that in their opln-

meets of f1turity which we may indulge tht
rational hope of seeing realized by this
junction ofdistant waters, that of the auspl

It was observed that the first step TO-

irrevocably fixed by the act upon the com

What time more suitable for this operation

Of the Citizen Warrior who led our Arlslcs

who first presided as the Chief Magistrate

nlacency & delight upon the scene before
and around rs?
But while indulging a sentiment otJoy-
Gus exultation. at the benefits to be derlv-
ed from this labor of our friends and neigh
bors. let us not forget that the spirit Of m
ternal Improvement is catholic and hber-
al. We hope and believe that its pract-
cal advantages will be extended to every
individual in our Union. In praying for
the blessing of Heaven upon our task, we
ask it with equal zcol and sincerity upon
every other similar work in this Confeder-
alton; and particularly upon that which. on
this same day. and perhaps at this very
hour, is commencing from nelghborng
City. tits one of the hapPiest character

sistance TO the execution of another. May
they Increase and multiply, till, in the sub
lime language Of inspiration, every valley
shall be exalted, and every mountain and
hill shall bcmade low; the crooked straight;
the rough places plain. Thus shall the
prediction of the Bishop of Cloyne be con
verted from prophecy into history, and,
in thevrtues and fortunes Of our posterIty
the last shall prove the nobIest Empire of

THE ELEcTIoN.-As the time for tn"
election Of president approaches, the ind'
cations of Mr.. Adams reelection. be
come more and more uuequivocaI. From
the election in Kentucky, last August e.
me first of January, we were strongly un
Ter the fear that Gen Jackson would be-
hosen. The Conventions in Virginia
North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Kentucky
nd Louisiana, which occurred about the
Interpreted. together with Mr.. Clay com
,lete vindication, first began to roll back
the tide. From that period no unpropIt
BUS SIGN of any magnitude has occurred
'lr. Adams prospects, obscred fora time
by SANDER and caIumny, shoue ont with
renewed brightness. The acts ofthe Jack
son majorties in Congress proved that tn
government i'm their hands. would be g5
ministered in the same spirit that had infu
enced the present Administration. They
rejected nothing, recommended by the
President, and they passed nothing cor
formablewith the wishes Of the Admins
ration. This satisfied the people that the
clamor for a change was raised by interest
ed men, and that if the change was effect
ed it would result 10 nothing beneficial &c
the people. They would have still the same
laws, and the same foreign and domestic
policy.
The tone of the Jackson papers is great
ly lowered. They anticipate deleat-they
know they will be beaten What will they
say, when the American people give then
verdict of acquittal for Messrs. Adams
and Clay, against their beloved charge o
bargain and corruptonl Where will they
hide their diminished headsl Into wha
augur hole viii they Creep
If it will CRAFTY the friends of the Ad
minishation in Virginia-ifit will awaken
from that state of torpor which seems tC
have crept over their facuties-if 1t vii
stimulate them to new eforts-iet then
rest assured that Gen. Jackson cannot be
elected. Much stratagem is employed tC
pursuade them that n. York will support
Gen Jackson. Not so. He Will not ge
more than a third Of the votes there-cer
tainly much less than one half This Is
no rash assertion. It's warranted by pub
lie opinion in that state, and by accounts
from all parts. In Pennsylvania, parties
are verynearly divided. Twenty six coun
ties are named, which will give Admins
tration malorities. But who can estimate
the effect that the 5. Carolina proceedings
will have therel Pennsylvania is united
as one man for the Tariff. It Is her pol
ICY begun by her influence, and gradual
" increased to what 1t is by her exertiOn,
and manimity. What will she say wheI

From He Trenton True .AWerican.
The infamous insult offered to the ma
ton. by the commanders of British vessels
in several ports Of the United States. in
hosting their colors halfmast high, on ac-
count Of the passage ofthe bill regulating
and revising the tariff, deserves the most
unqualified reprobation. That the subjects
ola nation with whom we are at peace, IN
our own waters. should dare to express IN
hisway, their dIsapprobatlon OF any public
measure Of our government, when they
were enjoying It's protection, and the hos
pitalities Of our citizens IN our own waters
Is indeed matter of wonder. It's an open
indignity offered to our public authorities,
and should be promptly complained OF to
the government, of which they profess to
claim allegiance. If that government IS
ootwilling to punish them; they should be
driven by force from our ports as vIolaters
ofthe peace of our country, as eXclters to
scord and disorder, and should be Danish
I'd forever from our shores, as unworthy OF
my Intercourse, with an independent and
heightened people. Such would be the
consequence ofany foreign people to inter
IRE with the laws or the municipal regula-
,ons of Great Britain. And such should
be our conduct towards those who have
the impudencc to beard us In our own
ports.

FRANEING. The privilege of ranking,
sxorcised by members of parliament Of the
house of commons alone, lessons the re-
venue to the amount of G5l9,lOl. 1t
would save members Of parliament so much
trouble if this faculty of delrauding the re-
venuo were taken from them, that we should
imagine many of them would not be re-
luctant to relinquish it. But, whether will
ling or unwilling to give it up, we should
think theywould, iftho matter were moved
in parliament, have some shame IN there
tanning it. The official privilege Of frank
inc ought also to be very narrowly watch
ed, and some precautions taken against ITS
abuse.
The complaint above made, (says the
Y. Y. American that upwards Of ttcO and
n quarter millions Of dollars, are annually
kept out of the treasury by the franhng
privilege ofmembers ofparliament, IS, we
suspect, even more applicable to the abuse
of that privilege in this country.
il Is computed by gentleman whose
opinion on the subject is entitled to much
respect, that the extra use, or abuse, ofthe
privilege, Of the last session of congress,
will cost the United States more than
$4,000 in the simple allowance made to
postmasters for the delivery of what are
called "free letters"-chlehy blank sheets
ofpaper franked and covering newspapey
each! It's supposed that many of the small
post-offices viii have claims over the whole
amount of the receipts at them, on account
Of this aLorance to say nothing of the
loss Of postage.
From the Democratic Press.
About two weeks, ago, some large pack
ages, marked "public documents and
frankcdby an opposition Senator, arrived
at Swedesborough, IN. j. Post Office.
The Post Master, when they were called
for, said he suspected the packages did
not contain "public documents" as endol-
sed, and insisted upon their being opened
They were accordingly opened and found
to be packages of the 'United States Tel.
egraph." The Post Master, with great
propriety--he Is not Jackson man-in.
sisted that newspaper postage should be
paid, as itwould be a fraud upon the e.
venue to permit the Telegraph to pass as
Public Documents"
The Post Master wrote a statement oil
these facts to the Post Master General.
We shouldbe gratifed to learn that the let
ter of the Post Master and the answer Of
the Post Master General were laid before
the President. We understand that no
thanks are given by the Post Master Gen
eral to the Post Master for his vigilence-
but many excuses are offered for the Sen
ator, such as it must have been in hurry
or mistake thathe committed such fraud
and the Post Master has HINT that he
should not be too Prying, or particular, in
noticing such things.
