It is evident that both pirties are feebta in force, but mutually exciU-d by a spirit of ex ispt iatcd vengeance. In their frequent conflicts, no quarter is given on either side . The weaker party is massacred by the stronger and neither age nor sex is spared. It assumes every4, feature of civil war in its most ferocious form : and is immeasureably worse th in the sanguinary contest that was so long carried on in Portugal. We cannot but hope that measures will bo resorted lo by the neighboring powers to put an end to this bloody warfare. On the whole, the Q ieens party seems to have the advantage.

I Such results, in a state where the first Rev olutionary fire was kindled upon the altar of Iaberty,is evidence, conclusive, that the sons of the dqnrt.d heroes who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, to throw off the galling yoke of despot ism, placed upon their necks by a British Tyrant, arc inspired with the same love of liberty which animated and warmed the patrio'ic bosoms of t!cir noble ancestors. Such a result, in a state containing the sacred remains of the immortal Warren, and a host of other noble and patriotic vhigo, who shed tlcir blood and sacrificed their lives upon thecrimsoned brow of Bunker's hill, must be highly gratifying to the fiiends of liberty, an 1 the enemies of Executive usurpation, in all parts of th j Union. Rimie Isl -md, Vermont, and Connecticut, are also victorious in opposing the odious & anti-ropublican doctrines of our present Chief Magistrate exhibited to the American people, and to the world, in his late unprecedented, and must extraordinary protest ag;iinst the rrs0h.1t ions of the Senate of tho FJ. States. These slates are composed of a region of country fir advanced in tho Arts and Sciences, in mechanical and commercial enterprise, an I in all the vocations of life that distinguish 1! civilized from the savage condition of man. That a people thus enlightened, and thin enterprising, should oppose the present Ad ministi itimi, is a strong argument in favor of the whig cause. Ir proves that in the dark regions ofignorar.ee, only, tyranny reigns. 1 establishes the position, that education universal education is the enly foundation that can secure the happiness of the people, and the perpetuity of their republican institutions .
