THOMAS JEFFERSON.
As it was expected, this great and good
ranisto be the mark ajfxmst which lhe cn*
v.-nmned shafts of a certain taction are to be
• lirected It could no* be otherwise: The
p mciples euler'aincd by Mr JeftUrson, and
which the gvner*! m us ot the republican par y
l ave adp ed, a1 l uuiform'y pursued, are in
direct opp'isiti xi to Mrj.se of ‘he federalists,
m l to til.,*; which the ipis’ate* from the re
]’ iOi can partv arc o introduce
,n our system of £O/erum;nt. Fading that
their weapons have no material effect on the
t ! tmbcra ot the republican b dr, ihev now *t
tem;,- the Htrc-ileai task of destroying ’he
head, for, should success alter, 1 hem in their
nefarious piau *® detr y the ijr-ja. name and
repu ation ot VI- JeiPerson, he republican
p4* v mus’ dwindle into a piiifil minority
l*t ci i such a traitorous an l ahrmoable
Jk*“ succeed m *hese Umed S a’es ? Th s
nu. have los’ ail shame; most be
rr the imp ’euioo that their case is despe
r.i’e indeed, to resort to such a desperate and
diriivr a’ tempt VV iat, raike ihe trial of les
sening the m>st veu*rah e, wue # and steady
republican in the estimation of tlie American
people ! Tnij Will receive, we hope,
tile pun/shmr-nt it merits.
1 1 an article inse-ted i:i this day’s paper,
iiom the Vashu.jfoi U ■publican, it is said,
that the ar sand imp ,<-t unities of M C -aw.

c c''’e:n*aijc, and iiavin.j d.*avn sentimenfrom
M J- 1 fav rible to his pretensions, it
is obvious that it [tlieop nioo of M i ] can
have but lutle weight -with the people of the (Jni
tsil St itcs ’ 1’ ,e opinion of Vi- J-(fe-soo to
bar- lit'le wuh the people of the Uni-
fl states | fs a man who has devoted all hit
? to h - service of his count-y ; who has suc
ceeded by his talents, energy, and m riot ism,
in repressing be dangerous encroachments of
thn r rdt’il pary on the national constitution*
and in establishing those republican maxims
which if stric ly aHii*re<l to, ensure ’he per.
manmev ot our government, to have no weight
at a ! l in uu- pubiic concerns, especially when
it is well Icn >wn, that ip tlu* course of a long
and useful life, the essential part of which was
apen’ in ’he cri'ical im-s of the revolution,
no s a blot can he pointed on* in the uniform
and exemplary purity of his charac er ? The
•ame paper savs, “ L- is well known *hat Mr.
Jtlfi-rmn reads but two papers, the Enquirer
and ’he National Intelligencer; and if lie lias
taken up a favorable opinion of M Crawford,
it can only be accounted for by the false me
dium ihrough which he h:i9 Viewed his char*
aoer; ami consequently, his opinion, uader
such circumstances, would beerri'led to less
weight -han the calm and ddibera’e opinion
ofon<* whose situation enables him to view the
whole ground.” The d> orsof the Enquirer
and National Intelligencer, are men for whom
we entertain a high respect in regard to their
talents aid priva’c reputation ; bu can he
peonle believe tbit the great and enlightened
JefFerson forms his opinion of public men and
measures on he writings of those editors and
their correspondent. 9 Have r.ot these gen le
nv*n aclcoowl-dgrd themscl'es the d-sciple*
of this grea* teacher of republican nrincples ?
And can ihe disciples .eac their mas'er
and surli a master too ‘ Tle position taken
by he Washington R.’pub'can is altogether
false, aaj can d’ceive bu a few The col
umns of the Enquirer uni National Intelli
gencer have been impaMialy open to all par
tie*; and, assuredly, if M’ JeffLrgon was a
nan o 1■ i w his cnclumu of men and mea
•ures, merely fr >m n *w<>aper essays, w.iv
could he not have formed an opinion contrary
to Mi at which has so mic displeased *he edi
tors of the Republican J The accusation in
question, <s ridiculous in*hs extreme ; and it
must draw no h -ig bill he laughter of every
man of sense. The fedtalists may snarl, and
bite if iliev can, Jeffsrcm shall be acknow
ledged as the hea l of te republican pariy, as
long as he lives ; and he will carry to iiis g uve
the benedictions of a fateful people, for the
many important servi’S he has reads red to
the country.
LEGISL \TIHISQF NEW YORK
Tn the Sena'e, on tl 8 h mat Uo.vne,
from *he select cnmdtcee o whom was **e%r
rejf he resolutions of ,s Geueral Assembly of
‘SjPimcssee, rjprobui’ the practice of Con*
fjt-ess meeting in reported. ‘ha 1 i r was
inexpedient for th kisla'ure of New Y rk to
instruct tiieir senate, or to request the rep
resentatives of th&tate in Congress to use
their exertions top treht a nomination being
.made during the p sent session of congress,
bv the members liveof, of per, ms to fill the
offices of IVesidtjnand Vice President of the
•United S arcs,* an that, while the sena e and
assembly of die ate of New-York do not
deem it proper, their legislative capacity,
to recommend it * the senators and represen
tatives of this st, to assist in the nomtua
tion of candidaSfor those offiras, yet they
were free todsdb that the practice was con
sistent with rhj**rit of the consti 1 u ion, and
peculiarly desifp* at this time, as the best
mode of ascerfrmgf the wishes and harmon
ising the views the people, and of attaining
in the result, will of the majority.
The Prod.ga papers, after the New-York
hadt n place, asserted in the most
positive man*-. ’hat Mr Crawford would
have but TllirY friends in the legislature of
that state-F/liat is now their language*
Here it is:
“It will itfbe tolerated, that a majority of
the two lift**, being less than 85 persons,
should trafrte upon the feelings of a million
and a half? freemen: and should hold the
Voice of tfefttate in contempt, in order to bea.
tow the eb:ord vo es on a candidate who is
odious to ur-fifihsof the whole state “

of the fa de state agree in opinion with the

. Byl.e arrivals at New-York, accounts as
•late a-the 6 h December from France and
Efiglnd have been received. The following
surmary is all we can give in to-day’s paper.
T,e great subject of interest in E iglaud, is
the question of the interference ot France to
ai.i Spain in the recovery of her American
Colonies. The London papers treat the idea
of dm possible subjugation of the colonies as
idle; and speak of them as having accom
plished, from the same uatural causes, With
*he sa n ■ unshrinking spirit, and with the same
tofallibls result, their independence, as d>d
the United3ta es before them They :au<h
the ft'jqou vha: Spiin ettp unaided, reduse
those nation* atfAin to bondage; and, as to
the aid which France might be disposed to
give, they speak in a language which she will
understand, and the colonies will not fail to
profi- by. Upon the whole we think it clear
that Great Britain has determined upon her
policy and course on his subject; and they
will lead her to oppose, even by arms if ne
cessary, the interference of any continental na
tion in the quarrel between Spain and South
America.
The King of Spain ia o contract an alliance
with a great northern power, and cede to the
latter a very important maritime poin in the
Mediterranean

The Secretary of the Shipowners’ Society
had an interview with Government at the in
stance of several of ihe merchant* engaged in
the rade with Spanish America, for the pur
pose of asceraining whether there was any
real founda ion for the ’’umours of its being
the iri ention of <he French government to as
sist Spain in attempting the reconquer of her
la’e colonies. The m >st satisfac <>ry and un.
qualified assurances were given by Govern
ment thftt there was not tlie slightest prr ence
for imputing nay such design to the French
gov?rnmr*nt
