in that dangerous service ought to have the requisite

the persons in command daily to examine these boats,
and that they in proper condition In the event
of such appalling Disaster If there were an am

seldom if hear of the shocking loss OF lie from
the sinking of passenger ships We call public at

providing for boats according to the number OF pas
sengers. BY passing such an act of humanity, our
Senators and Representatives WILL while they DIS

The very words in the Gazette-we never wrote

We do not think so. But we advise the Madisonan
to trust too much to the present silence Of the
presseven portion of those that have accepted the
patronage.--U. S. Gazette.
We hint no such thing. Our remark does
not admit of the inference. On the contrary,
we "hnt" at the groundless "charge" made by
others-others that happen not to have the pa
tronage, and may or may not make the charge

Doubtless the Gazette will have company in

nay to Mr.. Clay.

An honest conclusion, but let her alone and in

Our readers will doubtless recollect, that one
of the grave charges preferred by the "Manl-

WHY, the utter reputation of the President by
Benton and his satellites, as an unworthy sub
ject of Radicalism, and coalition at this very
moment existing between the Radical-Fede-
railsts, and the Radical Agrarans in Congress.
This combination has for its immediate object
the prostration of the Jeffersonian Republican
Administration now in power.
