Good News from the North.--That the measures of our general government are producing an extensive and salutary change of public sentiment, cannot now be denied. The intelligence daily received proves the fact beyond dispute. In every part of New-England the change has been rapid and thorough; and thousands of honest citizens, who were lately the warm advocates of a feeble, but designing and deceptive administration, have discovered their error, and are flocking around the standard of correct principles. From the whole of the northern and western parts of this state—from various parts of Long Island—and from the counties of Orange, Ulster, Columbia and Washington, we have also the most satisfactory information. Private letters and verbal information state, that the spell of delusion is rent asunder, and that the honest yeomanry are at length undeceived, but uncorrupted, fellow citizens are returning to those maxims and principles, by which alone our liberties be protected and the interests of our country secured and promoted---- They have seen the attempts of the Legislature of this State to violate the Constitution for mere party purposes-- have seen the arts and intrigues of base men to keep themselves in power-- They have seen our commerce our industry, and our interest in a great measure destroyed. They have seen embargo and non-intercourse laws adopted, and, in the face of the sufferings and entreaties of the people, tyrannically adhered to. They have seen the Constitution trodden under foot, and the rights of the citizen wrested from his hands. They have seen the interests of Six Millions of Freemen made the sport of irrational and visionary experiment--and they are resolved to reunite with their federal republican brethren, from whom they were seduced by deception and falsehood, and with them to exert every effort to save their sinking country.
