No apology,' my dear, sir, on thisme any other occasion,-was or will- he necessary for patmg any letter you may wish to have safely conveyed to a friend in these parts undeir cover to me. All tLhe political manwuvrem which were calculated to impede, if not prevent the oper ation of the Government. are now brought to a close until the meceting of the new Cor gress; andl although the issue of all the elections is not known, they are sufliciently displayed to authorise a belief that the opposers of the Gov'ermnent have been defeated in almost every instance. Although the elections in this State are over, it will he some limie from the extent of it, hefire tihe Rtepresentaitives. to Congress can be finailly announced. From, 'tonjecture however, it is supposed the major. ity wi'll he fedleralists. So:ne are so sanguine as .o believe that seveni (Ut of ten will be a a; but this, as.i have already said, is ah~ogethaer c~onj -.re and vague cn'ijec:tureu; for much pains h-as been taken, and no art left untessayed, to poison the mimil and alarmn the fears of the people into opposition. On the list of the Electors wh.ch h*,s beent published by the Executive authori ty ofthms St-ite, there appear (as far as I am acqutamited with character of the tzentleme,.) eight decidied friendsl to the new c.anssitt.o'i. lie thec causue unf the Blritish~ King's insa nitj commalnseralum. --hetter perhaps wo. uld it h-av" been. for his nation, though not for ours (un. der present prospects), ii this event hadl h-p. pened at the time.
