Every day's experience proves, that there is a redeeming spirit in the people which will not suffer our free government to be lost. The subject of high salaries, and that of caucus nominations, are discussed every where with advantage to the cause of liberty. The best friends of Mr. MONROE give up the caucus ground, and are willing to rest the election upon his well known merits as a man and a statesman. This is good ground; and will not fail. The revolution knew Mr. Monroe, and he has not wavered since. Washington, Jefferson and Madison confided in him, and found him faithful to his country, though it has been attempted to rob him of the honor of Washington's confidence, by suggestions which would be equally disgraceful to both, if true. In the hands of federal editors, even the fame of Washington is in danger. so ill fitted are they to take care of so precious a charge.- Albany Register.
