Our information from the distant counties does not enable us to present, this day, the exact state of the election, but as we before observed, there is no doubt of the choice of a handsome majority of Federalists, throughout the State. No thanks to the citizens of the metropolis; it is to the independent Yeomanry of our country, that we are indebted for this blessing; they form the grand bulwark of our independence; and to them we must continue to look for protection, while our great sea ports remain distracted with the wild ravings of ungoverned party spirit.
