n,ince the matter for them for to swaI-

nauseous dose as Ben Hadad informed
the assembly. that the people took, when
he averred that he soas paiafabts to his
constituents. Ma conscience as the
Baillie would say, what stomachs some
people must have! ns
In the first place. then, we are gravely
informed that there has been ''another
failure for the want Of a feso vofss to re-
elect Gov. Arnold Reader mnrk the
expression, fss0 vofes. If they had
said few hundred, they would have
been excusable, for every body knows
that there are but a fsso thousands in the
state, consequently few hundred are a
matter ofconsiderable importance. But
how stands the fact ! facts are stubborn
things, e. must be neither bent nor warp
ed ;no, not even to subserve the purposes
ofthe desperate party who are wildly
grasping ut straws to save themselves
from sinking. Now would any one be-
lieve on reading the paragraph referred
to, that these Nationals are farther from
the goal they pant for, than they were
at either Of the former trials-and that
in spite of the snpropit;oSs moment for u.s.,
fixed on by them for the recent election |;
they actually fail of electing their can
didate by an aggregate of nearly 500
votes ! And yet we ARE whiningly told
that fsw more votes would have accom-
plished their purpose
Now listen to sentence the second Of
this little article which like the Medicean
Venus contains
The greatest possible grace
In the smallest possible space.
II comes in the form of prediction.
"There is every reason, however, to be-
lieve that the people will pu. things right
at the election on the last Tuesday in
next month, by clecting Gov. Arnold by
a hansome majority J! !"
Now we should really like to be inior-
med in what new school Of absurditics,
the person who manufactured This exqmi
site little article picked up his arithmetic.
His PERMANENcY has been losing ground
from the start. But never mind say
these Jockies if he has no speed, he has
excellent bottom, and sure as tUo and
tVo make four, as he was nearly five
hundred poles (polb) in arrear at the
last race, he will be as many ahead at
the next Surely ingenuity like this de-
Esefvcs a premium. whei before since

Now comes the poser No man
can doubt that in this State very large
majority Of the Freemsn are in favor of
Gov. Arnold" &c, Now is the man
mad Or does he mistake this COM
munity for foolsl Or is he a discipline Of
Berkley and a believer in the doctrine
that +" in this round globe we tread up
on" there is nothing substantial, moth
ing real 7 Surely if any thing could
convince man we should suppose that
being lea three distinct times in mi-
nority would be sufficient evidence that
a majority were opposed to him. But
this it is to have discovered new kind
Of arithmetick, different from the induc-
tive.the productive e. every other system,
but the deceptive which is the one which
they practice and in which it mnst be
acknowledged they have proved them
selves adopts. But to be serious let
not these demagogues lay the Aattering
JUNCTION to their souls, that the people
are longer to 10 cheated by their soph-
istrus: II is not true that Pennsylvania
& New-York are no longer for Jack
son and this they will find to their cost
ON the day of recko oning. Remember
their predictions last fall respecting
the Kentucky elections. That morsel
so sweet in anticipations proved in is
