Tf Inaxim in vt icntific. enquiry, that i IVequeut recurrence to fust principles, is th correction ot' error, it is no less a tnuv.n in the economy i f life, that wc are liable to absurdities, in the exercise of principles, vhich hiar; usai;e has rendered nut familiar. The hutnan mind in its moral, rehjn-i", raid even political rede "Hons, is so far the ere atutv of habit, th.it frequently where its inarch his been definitely denatcd, vts deviations are the create. d. Hence the importance of or.r.!!on il scrutiny upon those subjects, whiea wear tut jYrnro -ntd favor of anelrnt adentiou. That " our fitters did thus

or s v" is quite a respectful as -veil filial ' e v . ,v, but surely no ;; ..v for obvious error. These sentiment, tny fellow citi.etis, alt'i i'(lioy m ni.' tiis exclusively pertinent, hive been dirvn fro n aie by a concern (u ulrh should be co n :ion to .ill) for the eh. -.racier of our next LcsUtur.. k is uei-t'v-r My intention nor my fviiy to surest, nvich l'N -s to diet ite, the dipos il of your s i f -frae-i. but I will venture even at the pv'nl ot voar di dca-vure to aw aken vo ir aUontion to ihe character of your onlj s-n-n ij'tfu, the elective frnuchLc.

asn M uhson, Hamilton, cc Jay, thought Cnb"Va this prerogative of oar b;ne and i;d'laut citizens, they did not f v i?ar to warn them that it miit through apatny, tleelmc into a careless usao, or by the viley subtlety of artful demagogues, be perverted into a vibserv ieiicy to the naset views. The opii.io;, of these great men are not to be negligent le passed over even in this age of boasted improvement and successful experiment, for they hear upon their front the stamp of unsophisticated patriotism, and unsuspected intrevitv. When thev wrote, thev wrote whh lue view to persuade tne aifvtiv ns of our fathers to the free-est principle of representative republicanism, consistent with the u'uacvlatuivr certainty of the ( vr.vn, and the chastened purity of the ,n.7 law. These statesmen contemplated the machine re of a free government with a vision undisturbed by the tleetitv; phantoms of powi r, place or profit. Tneir ctuuitry at that day rv as so miserably vor, that her humblest citi.:en, found it more practicable to c:r,r thrm r.vfKT favours from its government. Yet evrn then, in the infancy and unsuspectn! puritv of our political existence, those sa;es looking f.ir tluMugh the vista of mbsefnrent aqrs saw and warned us that our j;reaVteft dauber lurked near the b.umer of our Ve uvti privilege the Klective Franchise ' ! It is indeed an attribute of bovereiguu ; find disrt eetly exercisnl, brings in its train that p.ibrc security and domestic compla

cency which excite the desire and constitute 'It luppinetn cfliie. liit when its haercd

inflr.cr.ee is misdirected, either froTrtifcsahfii" cietit or lielusive information, our rHjlitjCjil interests are set adrift, ami evrrv pHyile right infringed or destroyed. If I nlav'bc inuulged in the allusion, an elector therefore should approach the ballot-boxes -with the singleness of heart and gravity of temper, which encircle the communion table. 'Tis a solemn duty the voter li4s to discharge, und he an fully 'mistakes his ojjkc, if the advances of vill.:i i us o.:VVf are to shape the character of ins suflVage. Would the eleetor o to the poll with a lively recollection thai in his vote, i involved not only the dignity and welfare of the State, but the civil and religious liberty of himself, and of his dearer self hi -:;ve and cnidrcu he would hardly ad! his vote, to a knave for grog or give it to ayW for iovt Surely he would not be so profligate as to prostitute the only power he basin the organization of his government. In view of the approaching election, it is almost the only object of this article, to awaken your attention tothetluty you have to pel form. As citizens of a free state, endued with a representative gov eminent, tfave you not occasionally, nay, recently, Ideen most shamefully misn fin scuta! iloV.jiot allude to any particular delegation rJcy particular county or district, but am waling, and fnfi;irnt to allow the interrogation .an unlimited application. Our interests have not been consulted, nor our rights protected in the way capaned by responsibility and intelligence. Was it that the men in whom we leposed our confidence, lacked i'lf lH-.C.'-'.'C and acknowledged no n frj;tihi!!tu ? Then indeed it is high time the elector should ieel his own strength, and exert it with a r.eal, which shall be found ns eiiicauou as it is discrimuiatmg. W e have candidates enough to alianl the advantages of a selection. Let us avail ourselves ot the opportunity, (it is even vet seasonable and saint iry,) and make that selection in a style honorah.e to ourselves, and disheartening to impertinent assurance. Let those who have aliased our confidence, in the formation of unwholesome laws, come down from the elev uion of ohice, and feel in private life, the nuschiex luus consequences of then public folly. If we have talent among us, m the name of v nvuo, honm-, and politic! life let us discern it. and uoul the scr.ptural oe.uinnatioii of u woe to that, pe pie w hoo rub i s are fools."
