France, thc object of Which is to watch over thc maintenance of the tranquility cf Europe. In this Intelligence there arc three things worthy of remark : 1. The silence kept upon England, to which such an alliance would seem to attribute principles different to those of the other powers. 2. Thc no less singular silence upon thc compact of the holy alliance, whose principles of justice, charity and religion, are sufficient tics to thc European govcrnments, by placing the great and small states upon the same rights. 3. The remarkable anxiety that it would seem is manifested for the maintenance of tranquility, at a moment when the nations are very submissive and very peaceable, and when the only elements of fermentation are thc stagnation of commerce, thc disproportion between the necessities and thc resources, the weight of taxes and other inconveniences which attach to political institutions, and not to the opinions k sentiments of thc people. Nevertheless, as our journals are under the censorship,

and this intelligence is presented under

monarchical conns, some attention should be paid tu i Journal des Dcbats.

Should you think fit to elect me Gov

ernor of this young and interesting State,

to which I feel bound by the strongest

ties, it will be for me to feel and ac-

knowledge the extent of the obligations,

that so distinguished a mark of confidence and respect will lay mc under,

and prove myself worthy of your expec-

tations.

If, in your judgment, you choose an-

other, at the expression of your will, I

will cheerfully march from the post which the Constitution and your Senators

have assigned me for thc time being.

If my course is improper, condemn my

pretensions. If it is reasonable and re-

gular, and I have merit, do me justice.

To become personally acquainted with

all is impossible; but my public and pri-

vate character is submitted to your scru-

tiny. With the land that flourishes, I

flourish. In the country that withers, I

die. Your interest is mine - mine to ad-

vance your's. Society is formed for us all. The eye of the State is upon us,

and each is expected to perform his own duty. I have the honor to be, with great

respect, your most obedient servant. JAMES B. RAY. Salem, May 21.
