EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
George 1opn, Sept. 90, 1928.


The result of the little elections in Newcastle
County has confirmed my favorable impressions of
the strength Of our friends in that County. Gene
raj Jackson has said (and its the best thing he ever
said)." truth is mighty and it will prevail" The
truth has burst forth, in flood of light, upon the
citizens of the Union; and the prevalence of the
truth. is death to his towering ambition. The peo-
pie ofhs County are yet too vrtuous--they are al
so too wise to be duped with the mean and con-
temptible tricks of our ppoAents--They will not
yield their assent that mere military talent is su
iicent qualification for the first civil office within the
gift Of a free people.
In this county we have been beset by 1r
Laae, Rogers, T. Co. for the last 10 or l2 days !;
every straagem used to conroul the little elec-
tions--but all to no purpose. Their whole force
nearly was out. They cannot number $50 votes in
this county more that they brought ethe polls on the
l5th,whst our strength out by eight hundred
potes!! No portion of our country has been more
grossly anisrepresented than Susser 1t has been
the interest of the Jacksontes to hide the real
strength of the Administration party in this county;
the design is apparent it is to create false impress
sIen--to deceive those who are supposed to be on
the fence with the belief that the Jackson party is
the strongest in this State Our little elections have
swept from those Gentlemen the little hope they
may have entertained of Sussex. She Gill giue
fUe hundred and fifty majority for the Administra-
hon, at the General Election.

avs and they had also endured the suferngs re
suting from government of men.
1t is not, therefore, surprising that they should
have selected their rulers from amongst the friends
of constitutional law.
In the second place, they had not forgotten the
course pursued by our present chief magistrate,
when member of the Senate of the United States,
at the time of the ccsssion of Louisiana. &s
Mr. Adams voted for The ratification Of the treas
ty, but when law for the government Of that ter
rtory was before congress, he protested against IN
vestpg the governor thereof with the authority Of
a Roman Consul. He claimed for the citizens OF
Louisiana the rights and privileges Of American ct-
zens, and he eloquently appealed to the prnciples
consecrated by the charter of our independence, in
yindication Of those rights. Mr. Adams was Of
opinion that the consent of the people of Louisiana
ought 10 have been obtained and the sanction Of
the people Of the old states gwen previously to the
being united into one political family. In this re-s
spect, he showed himself a trae friend to The rights
Of The people.
One action such as this, is worth thousand emp-s
ty declarations, which we daily hear, Of riendshp
for the people.
The citizens of Louisiana know how TO distn-
gush between professions and actions. They see in
our worthy chief magistrate. an old and tried friend
"a friend who wishes to see g liberty and law,
march hand in hand" SIMON SNYDER

Messrs. Editors-The Administration cause is
gaining ground daily in this county. Six months
ago the Jacksonians claimed 1000 majority, they
have now came down to the tune of $50. 1t is the
opinion of the most judicious politicians, that MIR.
Adams will have small majority in the county Of
Orange. The jackson faces wear different aspect
since the result of the elections has been received
from Louisiana &c. their faces and tongues made Of
Hickory have turned to Weeping Willow.

1t is now more than six months since Jackson sent
special message TO Judge Williams to demand
retraction Of the Burr charge.-Burr's conviction
we may now say and wished him to reply by SAID
messenger, before he Jackson] proceeded to ex-
pose his assertion about the commissions, &c. as
: false and calumn,ous.' Judge Williams did not
retract. but re-aflirmed what Jackson affected to
call false. Since that time, viz: more than sir
months, new proofs have accumulated, until they
have amounted to the highest kind Of testimony,
viz letters and statements under Jacksons hand
and oath.
And now what says jackson? What say ack-
sons fre.side' friends after silence ofsx months
Why, they modesty request the People to suspend
their opinions, for reply will be forthcoming dl

Its our belief that the partizans of Jackson are
forging documents at this moment, which shall serve
to aoqut jackson in the eyes OF his deluded wor-
shippers. Let the people look 10 it The clrcum-
stances are strong Jackson's cath shows that he
provided boats for Barr, received and paid out mo-
nies without charging the customary commissions, en-
dorsed and paid for him during the time OF his trat
torous proceedings, and now we are requested by
his organ the Nashyivc Repablacan, to wait awhile,
and Jackson will put all his enemies to confusion
and rout! When he is President he will, and it is
until then, that the Nashville Republican wishes
the people to suspend their judgments We say
then, look out for FoRGERlEs.
The Jackson men lately forged and published a
commission of the United States AttorneyEfor Jack

be a forgery! Washington is made 10 say that re-
posing special trust in . the learning and integrity
of Andrew Jackson sc. 1t is an absolute forge

Washington. Mr.. McNaTy was the U. States At

The fact is, that the Jackson men think that if they
get up pretty elaborate forgery five or six weeks
before the election. the Adams men will not be able
to refute ii until it is too late. Then let the peo-
pie look 10 it, we say again. Such thing is BREW

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

We offer the following to our friends and Oppo-
nens throughout the country, as our opinion OF the
result of the Presidential election. Previous to the
State Elections they claimed Louisiana, Kentucky.
Indiana, Illinois and at least two votes IN Maine,
and probably one in Vermont. The result is now
known in every one ofthose States. They have been
routed horse and foot and completely beaten, cx-
ceptng Illinois where the election was conducted
entirely on local grounds. This information we
ha'e obtained from person of high standingin that
State one who took no part in the late election and
one who is eminentIy qualified tojudge, and who IS
decidedly of theopinion that the Electoral vote OF
hat State will be given to John Quincy Adams, and
Richard Rush There can now remain no doubt
that all the Electoral votes in the above States will
be given to Mr.. Adams ssthe other States claimed
are conceded BY all intelligent Jacksonans. except
PENNSYLVANIA. This state is still strongly claimed
by them.
PENNSYLVANIA has by us been considered doubtful,
until within the last three weeks. within which time
information sufficient has been received to satisfy Us,
! and we believe anv candid men that the entire vote
of Pennsylvania will be given to John Quincy Adj
ans and Richard Rush.
All things considered this was to have been ex-
pected. PENNSYLVANIA is as much interested in the
1 American system as any state in the unlon, and the
Jackson leaders pay her sons poor compliment III
supposing they could be duped on that subject. A
majority of her citizens will never lend their sup
port to party. the great majority of which to say
the least is opposed to her main interest, the pro
lection of American Industry, the Farmer and Me
chanic as well as the Merchant. Fully satisfied o
the correctness of our estimate say to friends
go on let us not be content with bare victory, stea
DIV perseverance and exertion in the good cause will
give them complete route. They already begin II
despair and the only fear entertained by us is, that

We contend that, though there was a Jackson ma

no majority for the Heroites, at our next election,
if the people of this county will look at their true
interest. Putting the politicians, who hold and want

DEAR SIR, 1
enclose you copies of two notes which passed
betwixt Col. Rodney and myself, and the Hon. L.
M'Lane.
In all their notices, the Jackson party had nvi-
ted the electors of Sussex county generally, toat-
tend their meetings. We attended, prepared to
answer the objections of our opponents, but, as IT
to prevent it, their speeches drawn out to such
length, as left us no time for reply.
We had heard with much regret, statements made,
BY several of he gentlemen from Newcastle, which
we knew to be incorrect, and which we felt our
selves able to prove to be But we felt no incl-
nation to interrupt the harmony of those meetings,
by speaking without an understanding with the gen
temen of the other party. To bring about such
an understanding, Col Rodney and addressed the
following note to MIR. MLane, TO which he replied
as you will see below.
We had not the vanity to suppose that our talents
could bear comparison with those OF Mr.. M Lane,
or that we could rival him in debate but in the de-
fence of the present Administrations subject,
where we knew we had truth, justice and proofs TO
support us, and which we believed to involve the
liberties and prosperity OF our country-we did not
! dread to meet even l.. M'Lane.
The freemen Of Sussex county will Judge whether
it is fair and Just. for gentlemen to monopoze their
time, by statements which they are unwilling should
/ be answered.

Your obedent serv't.
