will b* t u and an article from the
Bauim e federal Gazette, which

f Vlliaoee of Forapexn despots a
gaiust the Wienies *f this oountry.
It is hoped that the reader will not
pass lightly over this subject, hut
will examine it io all its bearings,
recollecting that it is the common
class el* people whose interests are
to be attacked, ad that aristocrats
of the highest orders are to be gain
sed over, and brought in to share
the spoils of \merican liberty. If
tjre people are seasonably aware of
iibese designs, the dasger will be les
sened, as they will been thpir guard,
and prepared to meet and pst down
their internal as well as external
enemies. That the crowned beads
‘•T'hurmpe meditate an aua-k upon
us, whenever the internal affiirs of
our country shall present a pros
per of success, we hove no doubt.
The American people should, there
fore, be very watchful <f the tie
sign” U’ and operaiions of those of our
**priouipai citizens” who “would not
he disple sed to 9oe a change which
would place them at the head of the
government oft heir country.” They
should refer to and not
has liy discard the party and the
men that have s-caddy supported
their rights and Interests in (he
mida* of former difficulties and tri
ai; nor should *hey hastily bestow
their confided e oo me > of and fiVreni
characters, whose interest it now
is to beguile them wish false pro
fessions. Above all, they should
adheto steadily to tbosV republican
sys euis. wiii 4 ti have thus far per
peuaied our fair instilutir oa, and
secured the triumph of republican
principles.
There are many fa ts and con
sideratio <s w!ii h present themselves
to ihe m<!id of the attentive observ
er. li wa’ the opi >ion of President
Vlooroe. who is allowed to be a mo
derate man, and who ought to k tow
th.> there has been a mmarchicul
party in ibis country; and no one
P‘‘e r *ds to give a M y account of it:
But if we look about us. we shall
s e men who weie leaders of that
party, and who as late as the tune
ol the las; state convention, oppos
ed the extension of popular privile
ges, now ptolVssmg io be the exclu
sive fi lends of **the people,” and to
originate measures exclusively for
their he eli*.— The fable of the cat
in the tub of meal, exhibits their
characters aud motives. Such a
party as Mr. Monroe speaks of,
connected with the enemies ol* liber
ty abroad, would nuturaJy wish to
gain the confidence of the people
by he use of extravagant profess
ions, to foment divisions aud dis
card amongst the real friends of the
country, and to weaken the govern
ment, and create cos*fusion by
means of innovations an estab ished
usages. The first step we might
expert from such a party, after
suitable eff *rts to retrieve their lost
standing iviih the people, would be
aa attempt to eontrcul the choice
of ihe executive of the nation To
eff*;*t this, it seems to have been
thought neoessary to impair the
confidence of the people in the old
. democratic mode of designating
j candidates for offi- e, and thus to
! prevent a roncert of art ion in the
democratic party, whose discipline
! and union have heretofore saved the
! country in the hour of peril. Am
bitious and aspiring men, by throw
ing national Dominations into dis
( credit, calculated so to divide the
‘ electoral votes among a aumber of
candidates, as to carry the choieo
i of President and V. President into
| the House of Represenlaitves, where
j the election might be decided by a
! very small mioority of the repre
t sentatives of the people, in whiah
case the President would not be con
sidered as the ehhioe of the nation.
The result would be that the Presi
dent would not poises* the confidence
either of eongresi or the peple—
sectional jealousies and heart burn
ing would ensue, producing conse
quents the roost unfavorable to the
stability of our institutions. Simi
lar views may have originated the
attempts to alter the electoral law
of this Mate. These attempts were
expected to procure popularity for
those who never had deserved it by
Itherr former conduct. An altera
tion of the law at the preseat time,
w is atouidted, by dividing tue vVe
oT this state, to faoilitate tbc p!in
of earning the eboue of President
into the House of Representatives;
and aWo to prevent a desirable a-
HU'sdment of the U S. constitution,
\ whuh, if perfected, would add sta
bility to the government. The ag
ita’i nos aew topics, on which a
difference of opinion was likely to a.
rise, was expected to divide those
who Imd ever anted together ia sup
port sf republican principles. And
‘divide aud conquer,” we know is
a favorite motto wuh ihe fric ids of
monarchy in every country*
It is stated in the document so
whi -h we have referred, tha* <*the
arialo ratiral spirit was mst per.
eeptiblei i the towns,” meaning our
lilies and large villages. This may
account for the disposition mauifes
ted by me Cliutouians to manage
nosi of their political coneerns by
village meetings , which they falsely
oiyie ••tfounty meetings,” although
ney well know that the peopie of a
waoie oounty net.her cau nor will
come 20 30, or *0 miles to attend
them. The natural tendency us
their mode of proceeding, is to place ,
Hie poiiiicai concerns of a large dis j
iriii , ai the disposal of o io of these I
aristocratic villages We are not j
to suppose that ail who reside in a
- are aristocrats, although a
l irge number are always i flueaoed
by such. In Auburn, ad nost us
oar large villages, federas-s ii aud
Cliiityoiaidsm have ever predomi’ia
•rd ..The aristoerais are those who
value ihe eiivumsianc.es of birth s
fortune, &c. as placing them above
other oiiizeris of equal or superior
merits. They are rbe men spoken
of by Mr. Monroe as monarchical,
ami relied upon by the Russian min
isler for the overthrow of our gov
ernment. They are now uousually
prominent aud active in political
matters, e <deavomg to aiquire
popularity, and to scatter dis fd
and uotfusion amongst the tried
friends of the people.

Extract if a letter f om a Kepubli

icut,
“It has been repeatedly affi med
in the ultra prints, that Mr. L.yt
mas, a Senator, from this state, of
the United States, has been con
signed to ffisgraee by his constitu
ents, in cofisequeoee of his attend
ance at the nanotial meeting of Re
publicans at the Captiol in Washing
ton, who oommaied Wm, H. Cbaw
fokd for the Presidency; aud that, io
| this respect, Vlr. Lanman has sha
redthesaniie fate wiHi the other
members ofCungreis from this state,
; whn attended the National Caucus,
• From this assertion, it would ap
i pear that the constituents of these
gentlemen had offi Ully expiessed
l an opinion on the merits of their
J (ionduot. Such is not the fact . But
i it is true, that, in a legislative ©aa.
j eus at New Haven, Mr. Laamao
! has not been re nominated to the
Senate of ihe U ited S*ates, with
| er has Mr. Whitman, who was
one of those who s gned the protest
| against the Paucus, been re nominu
! nated ! Neither have Messrs. Steu
ling fad Foote, who did not at
j tend the Caucus, been re nominated!
i The truth is, that io general io?
{ stances, the priaciple of rotation in
offi e is respected in this state; and,
j oo this principle, Mr. Lanman was
! oot entitled, as io my opinion no
- Senator is entitled, to a re nomina-
Itioo. Such, however, were ihe
popularity and infiuenee of Mr.
Lacman, that, though he was not
re nominated, yet the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
State have not appointed a sueessor,
and could not agree. Mr. Edwards,
1 from this state, of the U. States’
* Senate, had merely been appointed
by the Governor, ad interim, to
supply l^e v a* an ®y occasioned by
the lamented death of Mr, Bsard
man; and the Governor's appoint
< meat io this instance was confirm
; ed, as is my opinion it oghtto have
j been.
With respect to the re-nomina
tion of our Representatives in Con-
gress, the statement of a ssagle
• fact is suffi ‘ient to ooriect any mis
represent itinn Tici only of all
j the fyvresentathizs were re n>n na

Cui us, aud the latter did nor !
Wiill respect so the senlimtuts of
this state on the presidential qies
tion, it is true that, at the time
that V|p. Crawford was represent
ed at the point of death, and the
charges of Niii*t Edwards were
preferred against Mr. Crawford
with su *h an air of assuranee, Mr.
Ad I it, a abuinptl a nnminatUn io * t
Legidafivo Cauefl* of the Stae,
At that momeut, Mr. Crawford’s
friends here believed aim out of the
question, and voted for Mr, Adams;
but sinoe his restoration to hralth,
and his misterly refutation of Mr;
Ebwards’s charges, and his trium
phant acquittal by that able aud ho
norable Committee ol Investigation,
composed for the most part, of bis
political opponents, his frieuds have
rallied with fresh vigour in this state
—(be re-action of the publio uu mi
has been unpreoedentediy rapid and
extensive—and 1 have no doubt that

will, in November next, ba sup
