iaithfuy adhered to, will preserve the power of The government in their hands tor an indefinite period.- The votes of the shew, that the whigs const tute large majority of the people; and an able, pat rotic, and disnierested administration of the govern ment will retain the confidence of those who have placed power in their hands. The people are wear- jed and disgusted with the conduct and measures of selfish, intriguing, and corrupt politicians They have seen their great interests sacrificed, and their prosper ity destroyed, to gratfy the ambition and the avarce of oce-hOlders; and they now want the affairs of the government so conducted, that industry may be encouraged and rewarded, and mere selfishness in rulers and their adherents, may not be the governing, and exclusive principle in those who control the pub lie concerns.
 We hope these, and other considerations, which will naturally suggest themselves to the minds of eve " intelligent and virtuous friend to the Union and Constitution, the liberty and prosperity of the country, will be sufficient to induce every person who is grati fed with the result of the late election. and whose feelings animated with the prospect of good which is opening the view of the nation, do every thing in his power, to preserve and perpetuate the spirit of union and harmony, which have been go strikingy manifested by the whigs as patriotic party during the presidential contest and that nothing will be un- derta ken by any individual. the tendency of which may be in the slightest degree disturb or destroy it.

The mass of the peopie-the farmers, the merchants, the mechanics, the professional men, and the aborers all united to remove an administration which had nearly prostra ted all their greqt interests; and their efforts have been crowned wi the most brilliant success. Noth- ing but indiscretion mistake on the part of those who have achieved the victory. can be instrumental in deprving them ot the immense advantages which must oft, if the party conduct with prudence and discreton.-H COurdnt
