The Richmond Enquirer, on the subject of a new President says, "It is now almost reduced to a certainty, that Mr. Jefferson will retire from the Presidential chair, at the expiration of his present term. The first wish of our hearts must necessarily be, that his successor may be not less able and virtuous than himself." After a discussion of the circumstances of another choice, it adds, "Let no man be supported who is not a most decided opponent of Federal principles. He must be one that has been tried by the unerring test of experience; bleached by the hoary hand of time, and his principles attested by many winters of federal persecution."
