miXTFD AND I UKLISHFL) BY JOHN SCOTT, Market Street, opposite the Seminary.

From the Alexandria Gazette. THE VOICE OF WASHINGTON. A gentleman of the adjoining county, in looking over the papers of his father, met with the following letter from General Washington, which he has politely handed to us for publication. The subject discussed is of great interest, and the reasoning advanced may he used with equal 'truth at the present day. The words of '."ie Father of his Coun

try should sink deep into the heart, of

our people: NEW-YORK, MARCH 28, 17D0. Dear Sir: I am sorry such jealousies asyott relate should he gaii:ingground,and poisoning the minds of the southern people. But, admit the fact which is alleged as to the cause of them, and give it full scop docs it amount to more than what Was u.iown to every man of information before, at, and since the adoption of the Constitution? Was it not always believed that there are some points which peculiarly interest the eastern States? And did a ay one who read human nature, and more especially the character of the pas

tern people, conceive that ttiev would nni

pursue theru steadily by a combination of

ineir lorcef Are mere not other points which equally concern! lie southern Stales? If these States are less tenacious of their interest, or if, whilst the eastern move in a solid plralaux to effect their purposes, the southern are always divided, which'of the two is most to be blamed? That there are diversity of interests in the Union, no Oiie nas denied that this is ihe case also in every State, is equally certain and that it extends even to counties, can be as readily proved. Instance the southern and nortnerh parts of Virginia, the upper and lower parts of South-Carolina, &.e. Have not the interests of these always been at variance? Witness the County of Fairfax. H as not the interests of the people thereof varied, or the inhabitants been taught to believe so? These are well known truths;and yet it did not follow that usurpation was to result from the disagreement. To constitute a dispute; there must be two parties. To understand it well, both the parties and all the circumstances must be fully understood; and to accomodate ditleienccs, temper mutual forbearance are requisite. Common dancer brought the States into confedera-

cy ; and on tneir Union our safety and im-
