The Litchfield County post., 1828-08-07

From the above, every man, who sees it, can make
his own calculations according to the information he
has received upon the subject From the best light
we can get, as yet, should set down the votes
something in this ORDER 1t will be observed, howev-
err, that this calculation partakes little of 'guess
work, in which we have much right to indulge
our neighbors. We do however believe that Mr.. Ad-

Of New Jersey, &c. and that he may again receive
the same, can only say, that by coalition of
the Adams and Jackson in that state, also IN
two others, he received them in order to de-

Some citizen in Pennsylvania, under The signature
of "Symon Snyder" is addressing to his country
very sensible short essays on the Presidential elec
ton. The following is his 9TH No.
To the People ofkhe United States.
Fellow Citizens: Ii is matter OF no small surprise,
that, whilst the nations Ofthe old world endeavor-
ing shake off the shackes Of military government,
and to vindcate the dignity OF human nature that the
most enlightened citizens OF the new world should be

For half century, the friends of freedom in Europe
have been watching our progress with an anxious so
licitude.
They had fa,tered themselves that after we had
oyed the right of selfgovernment for nearly gem
erations, we should have justly appreciated its bless
ngs; that we would pause, before taking any step
which might jeOpardthe great principles ofciv hber-
"; that would have proted by the example which
all histories present us, but particularly by
that awful revolution which commenced and termina-
ted since we became "A nation.
They had hoped that the fatal termination of that
revolution, which produced by mitiyyy idoLat,p,
would have called upon us, with warning voice, to
beware.
The efforts, however, which have been, and which
are still making, elevate Gen. jackson to the high
est honors of the republic, account of his military
services alone, have given just cause OF alarm to the
friends of freedom throughout Europe.
They begin to fear that ali history is lost upon US,
and that we shall furnish another able example
of military infatuation saPping the foundation Of civil
liberty. Wemust confess that do consider that
the solictude of our European friends IL altogether
without foundation think that the friends Of civil
liberty have just for alarm We, however,trust
that there still redeeming spirit in the People,
which may yet the country from military d0iatry,
which, in every aye and in every nation, has hereto
fore proved the grave of freedom.

From the National Lseligencer.
1t is said by the disappointed ofice-hunters, that
there was bargain between MIR. Adams and Mr..
Claw Ifso is the best bargain for the country that
was ever made: for they have paid Of more Of the
National Debt, and have appropriated more money to
Internal Improvement than was ever was done be-
fore in the same time We should like to see anotl-
er as valuable bargain.
The late efervescence OF political feeling in the ;
South has attracted the attention of editors and wri
tiers in the British provinces. They,as
matter of course arrive al the obvious cOnclu
son that the dissolution Of the Union is close at hand
and are careful to give themselves credit for having
long since predicted this result They WILL however,
we apprehend, have to wait little longer. The e.
vent has not yet taken place. and uness they obtain
an extension Of life beyond that usay allowed tOman,
they will not after all, be witnesses 10 the cOnsamma-
ton oftheir prophecies PhiiadeLPhiG Aurora.
We are glad to perceive, by the moderate tone Of
the leading papers in South Carolina that the nam-
