All military men who have math; themselves acquainted with the position of the English and American armies near New Orleans, after the battle of the Gthof Jan. 1815, are decidedly of opinion that had G n. Jackson pursued the British army after their de

feat, the chances were nine in ten that he would have captured or destroyed the whole of them. So satisfied was Gen. Gaines of the certainty ef success which would have attended pursuit, that on his arrival at New Orleans, on the evening of the 22d Jan. and pointed out to him tho brilliant opportunity he had lost of adding to his own reputation and that of the nation without jeoparding the safety of the country. "I saw the oppotuniny that presented itself," said the General, "and with a perfect knowledge of every thing attending our respective situations, estimated the chances in my favor even higher than you do. Success was almost certain, but would have been nttended with terrible destruction of hu. man life, and there was a possibility of failure! What would have been the

consequences of such failure? Would not people have said. aoi truly too, thai I had sacrificed the whole western country wil'i a view of adding to uiy individual fame? Would the conquest of the British army have rendered the country any safer than it now is by their defeat? How then could I have justified to a reflecting people, even it I had succeded, tin act which might have been attended with such disastrous etfects? Believing as I did, that

the safety of our country did not require their capture, I could not consent 10 purchase additional laurels by the sacntice of somu eight or ten hundred of my fellow citizens who had assumed arms in defence of their native soil, and not to win a reputation for their leader' O.i relating this anecdote Gen. Gaines remarked, "I had long known Jackson to be a meiitorious, high minded man, but never till then did I properly estimate the patriotism which had maiked eveiy act of public life, and taugat him to despise personal fame. An intimate intercourse with him for many years has forcibly impressed upon me the conviction tint, both as a public and private man, he more closely resembles Washington than any individual that America has produced.

The L-ird Advocate, the celebrated J- flrey, m a speech upon the subject of Reform, gave the account, below, of an election for the county of Bute, in Scotland. It puts one in mind of the Clay elections which have been held throughout the country, for the purpose of furnishing delegates to the Baltimore Convention. Many of the electors in our villages are astonished every now and then, to sec, in the iitivaprpcrs, that some distinguished National Repulican has been elected at soma unheard of election, to represent them in a National Convention, at Baltimore. Upon strict enquiry, it is generally found the same dignitary constable, sheniF, or justice, aroused by a circular letter a sort oi wiit of election reads it to himself in some tavern corner constitutes the meeting writes out the proceedings votes himself, and then makes a unanimous return of some person previously designated, as willing to take a trip to Baltimore. Our Nationals are close imitators of the Boroughmonei s abroad : "At one election (said Mr. Jeffrey) for that county, within the memory ol man, when the day of election came, only one person, qualified to vote, attended, and that was the Sheriff. lie read the writ to the meeting, a Shenif. ti. 1 ,A.4:iitinl ll.i mpplmp.

When Mr. Clay voted for Mr. Adams against the instiuctiocs of the Kentucky Legislature, he said he was not bound by Legislative instructions, but by those of his immediate constituents. He ha? again and again vindicated Ins vote, giving the Presidency to Mr. Adams against the will tf the whole State upon th.- ground 0 is conformity to the wishes of hi? partkuhr constituents If he should succeed in hi? object now, upon what pri-niple will he vindicate his election? lie will h;ve been returned not only against thi will of the majority of tho people o" the whole State, but ngHjnt the wrtten instructions of the people of thon particular countie?, that have exerted the right of constituents in the most decisive mannr. In the cac of Mr. Adams the will

of the Slate, expressed by the almost unanimous vote of the Representative body , was uothing against the supposed will of Mr. Clay's particular constituents. Now, he is endeavoring to set tip the will of a J eve perfidious representative in defiance of their immediate constitu

If, under thre circumstances , Mr. Clay should come to ihe Senate, lie will but consummate his ruin. He will stand in that body, not as the Representative of Kentucky, but of a few base men, rendered infamou? by the fraud perpetrated in electing him. He will be but the shadow of what he was once In Congrcs?, when he stood upon tho basis of the democratic principles which lie then avowed, and which the people of Kentucky still maintain. He will no longer represent his countrymen but like an Irish patriot, becomes an English piiaonor, ho vill represent an odious oligarchy, nnd onio his station altogether to chicane and management, he will be stript of the dignity of his character, and i!l gradually fink into insignificance.

The irice Presidency, Among the eminent individuals who have been designated by public sentiment, as acceptable candidates for tbe Vice Presidency, li'iHam IfiMim, of Pennsylvania, and lhchard M, Johnson of Kentucky, seem to be the most prominent. Both these gentlemen rank high in the nation for honesty, capacity and sound republican principles; and are equally endeared to the friends of the Present Chief Magistrate for the constant, firm and ethcient support which they have rendered his admiuistrtion in nil the arduous and responsible dutie3 he was called to perform, nnd under all the violent, vindictive nnd desperate assault that have been made upon him and his measures by na illiberal and unprincipled opposition. Their political conduct has been marked by no time-serving policy or over cautious regard to personal popularity, but promptitude and readiness to act frcm impulse of their own judgments, have ever characterised thir course. While wp wouhl award to Col. Johnson, the meed of approbation for the part he has acted in the political affairs of the nation, we would for reasons which may be stated

hereafter, prefer bestowir g upon Mr. Wilkins the station to which both are perhaps equally entitled, The Kentucky Gazette has for some time held him prominently before the public eye. We perceive too that in Missouri and Illinois he ia presented as tha acceptable man, while in tha western pait of Pennsylvania, as far as we can learn, he stands without a rival. Ever since the publication of his sensible letter alluding to the Veto rucesage we have looked to Judfce Wilkin as a tuitable candidate for tho Vice Presidency. Frederick Cit, A Secoyxd Term. L;ke Gen. Jackson, Mr. Jefferson had intended, upon acceptance of the presidency, to have declined n further continuance in ihe oflice after the expiration of the first term. But the same causes which have operated to change General Jacksons sentiments upon that subject had before changed the feelings ol Mr. Jefferson on the tame question, In a letter to Mr. Jerry dated Washington, March 3, 1801. lie thus expresses himself: "I sincerely regret that the unbounded calumnies of federal party have obliged tne to throw myself oa the verdict of my country for trial, my great desire having been to retire at the end of the present term, to a life of tranquility ; and it was my decided purpose when I entered into cfiice. Thev

forced my continuance" The result

was that Mr. JefLrson, on the second election received one hundred andjlftyt:co votes against sixteen only! ! The overthrow of the calumniators of General Jackson, may net be as signal; but they may rely upon it that it will be as decided. Like causes will produce like effects, and the republican party never have suffered, and never will suffer those who are true to the great end fundamental principles of democracy to be overwhelmed and borne down by federal abuse, whether it comes under the diguise of the American System, on the one hand, or anti mascury on the other.

Representative Principle. The right ol the people to elect representatives to administer their affairs, involves the admission that Government belongs to the people, and that their will, in the most direct and practicable mode ought to control it. Since the American Revolution, this principle has made great progress in Europe. The Government ol Fiance has become partially representative, and the Government of England, in which the right is narrowed to comparatively a lew privileged persons, has recently, endeavored to extend the principle, so as to confer the right of self-government upon a great mass of the people hitherto disfranchized. The defeat of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, wo trust, has only postponed tho triumph of popular rights in England, which in the end will propably ba more thorough and complete, than that contemplated by the movers of the lata measure. The result of the first attempt has shown the people their natural enemies. The Aristocracy have crushed even the limited franchise, which a King and a bouy;of Commoners, chosen under the eld corrupt Borough system, were willing to grant to the people. The Peers, strong in the prerogatives under which they have accumulated so much wealth. audlnower, hav fit themselves potent enough to bid defiance lo the demands of the nation, the King and the cemmocs; and yet nothing was asked of them but that the people might be more perfectly represented in that branch of the Government through which, in its theory, tho people are supposed to be entirely represented. There was nothing unnatural in this on the part of the Lords. Their vast accumulations of wealth and power they are sensible are but the spoils of which they have robbed the people, and they are assured that any step which is calculated tojgiveadditicnal weight to the popular influence in parliament, endangers the existence of their grand monoi'oly. It is seme what remarkable, that while the American principles are extending themselves abroad, from the moral force of the great diffusion of prosperity end happiness produced by them on our continent, that we should have a parly among us not content with the common blessing, but still laboring to destroy the popular authority in our Government and to make it a machine for the benefit of functionaries, instead of the peopie by whom they are employed. The germ of all aristocracy is to be found in the agents of the people, who forgetting their origin, set up for therrselves and abusettheir delegated trusts to defeat, rather than to execute the will of the people. We have a party in this country which employs even the brief authority permitted under our institutions to assail public opinion, ami to build up an Aristocratic fortress against if. Their whole effort here as in England, is to render abortive the labors of a popular administration, in behalf of the rights of the peo

ple. The leader of this Aristocratic opposition in thi3 country, was but the other day brought into the Senate by a violation of direct instructions from the people to their Representatives, to whose vole he owes his elevation. This is a particular illustration of the principles of himjelfand of his party, which we think leaves nothing to conjecture. The course of lha present Scjnators from Maine of a Senator from New Hampshire, and of some other Senators who have hid defiance to the known will of the States they represent, to subserve the interests of this new leader of the aristocratic phalanx, is in perfect keeping with the principles and motives of tbe enemies of the rights of the people throughout the world. The same men in England would be to- ' ries; in France, Carlists;jin Poland, Russians. Even here their leading journals but badly conceal their uneasiness at the reform at home, and that which events have promised to Europe, because it seemed calculated to arrest the encroachments which the anli liberals among us are attempting to make upon the principles of representative government.
