ATHENS) NO V. i r.
We have been informed by a
person and fit from MilkVgeville,
that Gen. }J . B. Mitchtli is ekdted
Governor.
The voice of the people has never
been more audibly exprtfled chan
nr the recent elections. In every
Jdftion of the union where they
J ‘°t been held* they have eventua
v ted in ths r humph of the republi
cans. To demrnfhare this we
fiv.U curfor'ly enumerate the vari
ous refuhs. With regard to
iJ
Ehode-Ehnd the accounts are cca
r.radisbory; each file claiming a
majority in the leg’/hture. But k
is agreed by the federahfts, that
there is a cor.ftderahle acctflion of
republican members chofen. In
Connecticut more republican mem
bers are like wife elected than there
were in the lad Affembly. In Ver
mont the triumph isdecifive in ev
£££ department of eke government,
proj) the branches of the legifiature
. cidedly republican ; and a re
bnncirdcan governor is cho fen in lieu
of a federalift. It New-Jcrfey,’
both hotifes of the Aflkmbly are de
cidedly, republican, the republican
maj rity. of members b o ig g-eater
than in the laft legislature. In
To only ‘ vank, not a fifth of the mem
bers of the leg;nature are federal.-
In Delaware the federal party is
Splitting to pieces, and though her
iTembLy kill remains federal, the
votes given at the late ek&ion
evince a great republican gain. In
Maryland, in fpite of the mightieft
efforts, the houfe of delegates has
been rdcued from federalifm, and
ir. now republican by a confiierable
majority, the confequence of which
is that the government in all its de
partments 53 republican. In Ken
tucky, Ten nr Ode & Georgia re
jiublivanilm has triumphed, as is
invariably the pafe, without oppofi
tlon. We have thus eftabliihed the
fail, that in all the recent elections
rcpublicanifm has gained a victory.
Tills victory ns ay well be viewed as
brilliant, when ir is remarked chefe
eiecHons embrace ten Bates out of
the ieventeen that make up the con
federacy, and all the hates, except
ing two, in which feckrallfm has the
1 raft chance of force ft, in both which
Hitts there are the ftrongdl indica
tions of a complete republican af
cendencv at the enfulng deft ions.
A t prefsnt at leaft eleven, perhaps
twelve, of the Hate governments are
republican, and there is a probabili
ty that in a few months fourteen
will be fo.
Well then may the friends of lib
erty in the United States laugh at the
empty boafts of their adverfaries,
and at their alarming predictions.—•
The whole have vamfhed into air.—
The almoft univerfality of their de
feat proves that the great body of
rhe people are againft them ; and it
proves more-—it proves that the
people of this country are too fixed
in their principles to permit their
enemies to profit by its misfortunes.
It is this that the oppofiticn has cal
culated upon; they flattered them
felves that they would reap a rich
harvtft fiom the in juft ice of foreign
governments. But they have been
woefully difappoinred, and their
diftp point men t refled: the higheft:
honor on the virtu i of the people.
In this commanding attitude of
victory we are gratified at the dig
n-y and temperance of clilcuffion
f! generally cbaraftcrife the re-
I bfit an prints, w hich prefects a
happy central-; with the virulent
indecency or contemptible crlmina
tion of a few of the federal papers*
Some of the He Utter are too humble
for notice; but with the exception
of thefe 1: is gratifying to perceive
that the chief infl'ruments of po!lei -
cal clamor at prefenr are a few edit
ors, whole hopes of political honor
or emolument are totally blafted,
and whole only refource to gain ary
kind of cnftir.chon is by inflaming
the people. But becaufe fuch men
violate every dictate of decency and
habitually (port with truth, cr
pompoufly dilate upon topics long
fince either fettled or cor.figned ea
oblivion, does it follow that the re
publican prints ought r.o defeend to
their level and expole themfelves to
all the difad vantages arifmg from
unacquaintance with weapons in the
• ufe oi which their adverfaries are fo
expert.
It were unjuft: to extend this re
mark to all, cr even the greater part
of the federal prints. Many or
them, a: this very time, are guided
by far different principles. Indeed
tiie oppofttion is at prefent fo lan
guid, that in naming half a dozen
prints we (hould perhaps enumerate
all rhofe, to whom belong the proud
faafaflion of keeping, without
caufe, the fire of party alive.
National Intelligencer .
By the fhip Sufan, Capt. Delano, cr
rived at New-York,
It was reported at Amfterdam,
that a peace had been concluded
between Auftria and France j but
the report was not generally be
lieved, though this event had been
expected ever lince the termination
of the artniftice. Some difficulties
had occurred in the negotiations,
and there was a probability at one
time, of the recommencement of
hoftilities—and, indeed, fuch is the
nature of our advices by this arri
val, that it is extremely difficult to
determine whether there will bes
peace or a continuation of war be
tween thefe two nations.
Capr. Delano Ts the bearer of
difpatches from Mr. Arm ft rong,
which were fent from Paris by ex
prels, and which reached AmHer
ein m on the 14th of September,
th.e day before rhe Sufan failed.—
He a)fo brings out difpatches from
the U. States’ Schooner Enter
prize, lieuc. Tripp, which veil'd
was to fail for rhe U. States, in a
botk fourteen days after the Sufan.
The Montezuma had failed fevcral
days before the Sufan, with dii
patches for America.
We have no account of the arri
val of the Wafp in France. There
was barely time for her to .have ar
rived, and the news to have reach
ed Paris and Amfterdam when the
Sufan failed, as (he did not leave
this port till the i6rh of Auguft.
The Bricifh (till held Flufhing,
and there was no expectation of
their being obliged to give it up.
Ex tr aft of a Utter from Far is, dated
September 6.
“ We are aiTured that the A
merican rrfinifter has found on his
return here a difpoficion to enter a
new upon negotiations; that orders
have been given to the Council of
Prizes, to lufpend condemnations.
It is faid that a difpatch Hup v/ill be
expedited to carry proportions
w hich have been made m fubftance
as follows ;
” That if England will raife her
blockade as to France, (lie will re
voke the Berlin decree which de
clares ail tne Britifh iflinds in a
Hate of blockade ; that if the or
ders in council of November ISO 7
were revoked, the decree of Mi Jan
of the luh December fame year,
fhou'd aha ceafc. _
* VVe have reafon to believe that
thefe fades are true ; but we have
hteo fo often deceived that we do
not permit our. fit Ives to draw any
concluderi from them.”
