PRESIUEN 11 A L ELECTIQJ&
The electoral votes At Georgia have been
ffiven to Mr. Crawfoid us President, aid to
Mr. Vat* Buren as Vice\President. This
choice agrees with the higy reputation the
stale deservedly possesses in be Union tor re
pi: iicanism, ands eadtus’ness to the political.
pr;nc : f*les of the Jeffersonian sciicol. If in aT
the o'her sta es the republican party were to
La\e actv-d as independently and in strict con*
Jortr..iy to the btst interests of be country,
, and to the integriiy and ascendency of demo
cratic principles, no doubt c*yi exist ot the
elec ion of those two distinguished citizens.
By unfn-’unaiely the divisions which distract
the lepublican party at ttis time, the abandon,
mm’ bv some influent &l ciuzens .at’ the ori
ginal principles: of hc party; the introduction
into the administra ion oi the genera guvern
jnenl of political doctrines more dangeious
“than those en’ertatoed by die federalists, ren
der it uncertain whether die demoetvic party?
reduced as it is, will be ab e*to elec- their cIC
dida es ‘o the Presidency a'-d Vice Presidency
of the U. S F>r our ovvr pa’ •, .we hope yet
that ’he democratic party; mu withstanding
the apostacy, treacben, or vacillating cunduc.
‘of some fits distinguished members* “will
have trert)f h eoaugfi remaining osucqecdin
the noble undertaking of giving a President to
these states, well qualified in every respect to
perpetuate the policy adopted by Mr Jsnerson
in the administration of -he government aid
strictly followed by Mr. Madison.—This is our
impression; for we cannot believe that the
people, seen die United States pro
sper, and rising rapidly in u ealth and j ower
unde r die adminiaira 1 iftns of Messrs Jefferson
and Madison, should so lar be led as-ray by
the inrigue and machinations of a few ciiztns,
as to elect men for President and Vice Piesi
dent who will undonb edlv pursue another po-
j iCV —who will put aside ’he economical system
of Mr Jtfierson— alio are decided'y in.favour
of aspl- ndidgovcrnmen’.ofalarge
irv in ‘imr of peace, of high salaries to ‘he* of
ficers of the government, and, worse than all,
of a closer alliance with Grea Bri ain- The
republican party has done every thing for the
prosperity of ihe U s—l s principles and
dm rim-s, and its policy in the management of
the government, have all been tes’ed; and tlfe’
ejects have been productive of good to every
citizen —Can the people put m jeopardy the
prosperity of the United States and she good
which uas resulted to every cidzen, by elecdng
men offices who.se prrnciples, and
sy&tem of government, are diametrifcaiiy oppo
site to those of the Jeffersonian school ? A’te
no’ those views and principles known to be in*
