and indignant Virginia , will be beard with awe from one end of ?he continent to the other. John Marfhall ufed fometimes to bragg that he one day would be chob n vicc-prefidem. Believe me, fir, that at this day, he nuid not his feat in the event of a new eledlion for Con grefs. Tlie lafl eleftion cofi ■him five or fix thoufand dollars for barbacurs ; and this was the man wfm complaitned of French bribery ! Was there ever Inch another farce ? The flatcs fouth of the Potow mac chufe fifty-two cleftors tor -hrendent , and 1 am latisfied that Mr. ( ffeifon will have at leaf! fifty of them Thefe with five in 'Maryland, and your fif teen in Pennfylvania, will make feventy, and carry off a majority of the whole votes, even upon ’the Hippo fit ion that New-York and 1 erfey were unanimous againftus. Put farther wc count upon a majority both in New- York and jetfey; and if thefe Hates fliould not vole at all, even then our viftory will 14 ill be certain and complete. At the lafl eleftion, N, Carolina gave ]e(Terfon eleven votes, and Adams one. The gentleman who gave that odd vote has pledged himfelf, if chofen gain, as ho expeftsfo be, that he will vote for Jejferfcn ! This is an abfolute and an important faft- I give r from the higheft: and Lefl authority.

NEW-YORK, May 3. The anniverfary eleftion polls rlofed yefterday. The dye is raft the rchilt is uncertain. The ariftocrats calculate upon a con fideiahle majority. We hope they will be difappointed ; but In our expeftations we are not fanguinc ; for while the juftice of the cru r e of republicanifm furniflies a ground of dccihon favorable to this country, Ihe weight, of property, undue in fluence, and the majority of upwards of goo hft eletlion, in favor of the ariftocratic ticket, renders the iflue of the poTent eleftion doubtful on the lids of liberty, Britain threatens us if we at tempt aconcihation of d'fFtmn ces with France ur have been fen£ to that country, and very probably, the animo lities engendered this country and that, will he termi nated very foort. The Britiih, however, have had fuch fuccefs by the rrtcans of threats and in trigue, in eftablllhing a party in this country favorable to their views, that thev arc determined to leave nothing undone that m; y contribute in the leaft to gain an afccndancy over the Americans. I his inimitable mo narchy, this flupcndous fabric of human invention , in violation of folemn treaties made at tlie ex pense of our declared neutrality, are capturing American veffels on our coafts, and making pii fbners ot our feamen, We are told if wc refent it, or fettle our difputes with France, they will make waruponus; and for this reafon, wc are to put up with all their infults and tholo who have been dilpofcd to cenfure them, mull be branded with epi thets of dJurganizers and jaco bins.

Thomas Cooper, a man of fcience, and a Heady advocate for the rights of man, has been fentenced, under the fedition aft, to fix months of imprifon ment, and a tine of 400 dollars. 1 he famib of this gentleman relied upon his induftry for their fupport ; and at this fatal mo moment, while his children may h wounding the feelings of a difheffed mother for their duly bread, his body is immured in the cell of feme gloomy gaol. The ohjeft therefore, of this publication, is to inform the re publican citizens of Virginia, that if any of them Tha 1 1 think picper to contribute towards the relief cf Mr, Ccopcr and his fam ly, the fubfciiber will receive luch contributions, and forward the amount to this perfccutcd fellow labourer, Mr. Holt, editor of the Bee, is under hrrilar cmbarralfment : his frne is .wo hundred dollars.

Died, on Tuefday lad, the 20th inftant, about noon, aged 6 years g months and 16 days, M after John Mi!ledge Jack/on , the fourth fon cf our prefent Governor. The little amiable innocent a few minutes, crc (Tern death, put the folemn fcal on his quivering lip, with, as it were a prefentiment of his approach ing dilfolution, afked from the aftlifted father a’aft bleffing, and from the grief worn mother a dying lift. The parental bene diction and falute received, in ftan', a darkning him the eye aflai’ed, the fluttering pulfc to vibrate ceafed, and the quick ning fpirit, to realms above a'cended, leaving a clay cold cor he. n the following morning at ur. o'clock, pr eceded by Mon ft Gobcrt and Mr. Barron, with their tefpeftive Icholars, and fix voung ladies dieffed in white, the like number being pall bear ers, and followed by the Gover nor, histhreeeldeft children,and Mafter Whiifreld ; the (late offi cers, and a refpeftalle and nu merous train of the ladies and gentlemen of Louifvillc, the corpfc was borne by the young gentlemen the town alter nately relieving each other to the burial ground, where the funeral fervice was performed, and ex preftive filent grief clofcd the awful feene. A Modern Political Maxim. Government cannot be duly adminiftered without indulging the great —oppreffingthe poor— coirupung the vena)—filencing the jeab —ridiculing the ho neO—abating the patriotic— and in general deceiving the people. Regular Government . The public confiderafion is called to the meafurcs introduc ed in the houfc of reprefenta lives on Monday, by 'At.Parker, of Norfolk, for the appointment of ADMIRALS. Whence arifes the ncceftity for Admirals ? Will commodore Barry or capt, Truxton do their duty better admirals than as captairs ? The inftitution of fuch offices is wholly for the purpofe , of an influence and the creation of an ariftocracy in this country, a .. privileged titled daft. The mcafure in itfelf carries condemnation on its face. The office of admiral properly be longs to navies in whicn there aie vellclsof the line, and where aftions are likely to be fought with numerous (hips in line of battle. In this view alone there is an impudence in the meafure at tempted that can be accounted for in no other way than from an idea in the propofers that the people ate capable ofluftenng any impofitioa the moft prepol terous. The attempt may be cl a (Ted with the following as charaftciiting extravagance of the prefent fdiion.

Four years more of luch proceedings as have b< en difplaycd in Ame rica, will render our revolution of very little importance indeed, for we (ball be as completely (addled with the Biitilh fyftem as if George 111 continued to be our fovereign lord and £ Aurora .
