We have received from Portland, (Mainc) a
circular signed bya very largo number ofmerchants
of that city, who state that though hitherto they
had not been found meddling with politics. especial
Yin tho Presidential elections they no,o feel it
duty to address their fellow citizens. They believe
that the collection of General Jackson wA be pro.
ductivc of the most extensive evils to Them and
consequently to ship builders, scamen, and all
those who farnigh materials for ships or commerce.
The new terms of the West Pndia trade they par
ticuarly deplore, being destructive of all their
Runs, and throwing the best part of that trade in
to the hands of foreign ship owners; and if the
boundary question should be settled as jackson de-
sires that it should be, they believe that the blu.

SIa: beg leave through you. as tho Chairman
ct the Corresponding Committee of tho Conven-
ton. which met in Charlottesville i'm Juno last, to
make known to my friends in Virginia, my feelings
and wishes, in relation to the divided Electoral
Ticket lately presented to- the people of Virginia
am aware, that under the circumstances, in which
the committee were placed, and the resolution of
the Convention, under which they acted, they could
not have acted otherwise than they did.
Recent events, however, have excited deep soil
ctudo In my bosom, in relation to that subject.
Within very few days, and Just upon the eve Of
the election. perceive the Opposition prints, in va
Tious quarters, congratulating themselves upon this
division in our ranks, and exutiugly anticipating
triumph from that cause. If, as these prints
SOON to suppose, their anticipated triumph should
be realizcd-if in consequences of tho divided tic
ket, it should happen that the vote OF Virginia
should be lost to the present Chief Magistrate, il
would be to me source of the deepest regret
For, from the commencement, have been opposed
TO taking any course, which would i'm any degree
endangrr his reelection. In this sentiment, am
persuaded, that nay friends concur. Indeed, \
knoU, that some of those, who were most active
In the Charlottesville Convention, did concur.

atory of this idea.
Nor, do 1 consider this ticket as indspensa.
bly, necessary to the attainment of the object which
my friends propose. For, if from the course of o.
thcr States, there should seem to be reasonable
PfoSPect Oh my election, L think that the Electors
nominated by the Legislature would in that event
vote for me. If, on the contrary, from the tevel
opments in othcr States the prospect of my election
should appear hopeless, then the electoral vote in
Virginia, even if the ticket nominated in my
favor, should succeed, would be unavang as
II respected me. Under these circumstances, it
Is my wish, that my friends throughout the Com.
monweaith, should vote for the Legislative ticket
do not presume to dictate to them; but, feel
assured that they will receive these suggestions in
the spirit Ill which they made. indulge the
hope, that in the present posture Of political affairs
they will agree with as to the proprety of this
