PORTSMOUTH.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 11, 1828.

THE ELECTION IN PORTSMOUTH.

The efforts of the "little faction" in this town, which one year since was said to "exist only by the forbearance of the friends of the administration," have been thus far successful. In the language of our departed patriot Langdon "WE SHALL YET BE SAVED."

"Portsmouth New-Hampshire," said the eccentric, though penetrating Randolph, during the debate on the Panama mission, "once went with us—we rode through the equinoctial gale together—Portsmouth overcame the first Adams, and Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, I trust, will overcome the second."

These words seem to have been prophetic; for it is believed, it was here that the cause of Jackson and the people was first established on a permanent footing in New-England, and Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, seems to have been the only seaport in the Eastern States, of any magnitude, who have remained firm in the cause, and given the Hero of New-Orleans, a majority of their suffrages.

Although there have been many warm friends of Jackson here from his first nomination to the Presidency in 1824, yet twenty months since, such was the imposing influence of the coalition, that scarce a half a dozen would openly avow themselves as such. They however took a firm and decided stand; and though brow beaten, ridiculed and reviled by a purse proud aristocracy, as "a unprincipled faction," they have persevered in the race, and come out triumphantly at the goal.

Whatever may be the result of the vote of New-Hampshire, Portsmouth will have done herself everlasting honor in support of the cause of old fashioned democracy.

The election on the 3d inst. was a fair trial of the strength of parties on the Presidential question. Mr. GREENLEAF, the candidate selected by the Jacksonians for MODERATOR, was on account of his indefatigable exertions in the cause of Jackson and reform, the most obnoxious candidate to the coalition, that could have been selected. It was proposed by the Adams party, that the check list should be used in voting for Moderator. This was readily agreed to by the Jacksonians, as they only wished for a fair trial, and it is believed this operated in their favor, as it no doubt prevented many tricks of the coalition, whose motto is, that "all is fair in politics."

Never before was such a heavy vote thrown in Portsmouth for a Moderator; four hours were consumed in the choice, and the result was a complete Jackson triumph, which was the more mortifying to the federalists, as they were so positive of success. Mr. GREENLEAF finally succeeded by a majority of forty-one votes. We have said, "old Democratic Portsmouth would do her duty," and we trust our friends throughout the Union will give us the credit of not having broken the word of promise to their hopes.

After the Moderator had taken the chair, and expressed his thanks to his fellow-citizens for this kind expression of their confidence, the poll was opened for Electors of President and Vice President of the United States, and continued open until between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening, when a declaration was made of the result as follows:—

THE ELECTION IN THIS TOWN. :: :

For a great length of time, the ancient town of Portsmouth has been characterized for its firm adherence to Democratic principles. But after the decease of some of her Patriots, whose devotion to the republican cause nothing could shake, federalism began to rear its hydra-head; and it will be recollected, that, at the last spring election, by the successful operation of divers subtle and artful plans, by the active co-operation of a few individuals who had formerly taken part in the republican ranks, by converting our Court-House into a place of entertainment on the election day, and such-like practices, the republicans were, for a short time, put down. Those who had been, by such means, grossly deceived, began to reflect, and reflection soon opened the eyes of many.

At the recent election, at the close of the polls, it appeared that one thousand and eighty votes had been cast, and that the republicans had a plurality of 74, and a gain since the last annual election of 164. The result being announced, produced a spontaneous burst of joy, and some clapping of hands on the part of the successful party; a practice which it is presumed the other party would have freely indulged in, had their high expectations been gratified. The zeal and spirit which moved our citizens generally on to the polls, gave rise, although Jefferson-Hall was crowded, to no excess of passion or tumult, and the meeting was conducted as usual, in decency and good order. It was dissolved between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening.

It gives us pleasure to pay a merited compliment to the patriotic ardour of Col. Decatur, the naval store-keeper at this station, in the cause of civil liberty. He occupies the spacious building, which was the mansion house of Gov. Langdon. This building, venerable for its appearance, and honored as the past abode of our Langdon, was in the evening elegantly illuminated by Col. Decatur, who threw open its doors, and liberally invited his republican friends to partake of a cold collation. He thereby manifested his respect to those, who had respected themselves by manfully supporting their country's cause.

But it could not reasonably be expected, that the result of the election in this town—the cheering, and the illumination, could afford any gratification to our political opponents. We are sorry that they have taken these things in high dudgeon. We hope, however, that so soon as they can learn what is the voice of the nation, their high political fever will abate, if not entirely cool down, and that in a few days they may safely be pronounced convalescent—for unless this should be the case, they would indeed be past recovery.

We now turn to the last Portsmouth Journal, one of the federal papers published in this town. We wonder that its columns had not been in mourning—for the glory, not of Israel, but of federalism has departed. The word "Ichabod," is upon every federal tongue which in holy writ, meaneth—"the glory has departed." Oh! Ichabod! how has thy gold become dim, and thy fine gold changed!

Merely because the federalists of this town have been defeated, Col. Cutter seems disposed to magnify our little mole-hills into mountains, and the smallest excesses of joy or passion are converted into an intoxicated tumult, or an unbridled and licentious mob. The public as well as the private and peaceful citizens of this town must thank Col. Cutter for unfolding a most melancholy tale, and disastrous event, which, if—if true, might at a distance be viewed as a reflection upon this town, or some of her citizens; or, peradventure, unreflecting, humorous boys.

Until we saw the last Journal, we did not know that there had been a great Mob "in this great town" on the evening of the 3d inst. which mob assaulted the doors of the Hon. Ichabod Bartlett—our Representative in the Congress of the United States,—attempting to break in the doors thereof, and do horrible mischief, and insult peaceable clergymen, &c. We therefore yesterday set on foot an inquiry into this "doleful tale."

It turned out to be very much like "the story of the three crows"—or like the story in Horace— "the mountains are in travail—a little mouse is born." Since then the Colonel has, by the aid of fiction and a fruitful imagination, brought his lamentable tales before the public, we will, we hope with candor and regard to truth, state the facts, although it may seem to many to be almost too small a matter to meddle with. The Colonel had doubtless heard that one of his brother federal editors had been mobbed in Philadelphia, or some other place, and therefore almost fancied himself mobbed on the 3d inst. and having, perhaps, prepared a large quantity of powder and so ve blunder-busses to repel the rude assailants, and no chance to burn his powder, concluded to raise the hue-and-cry, that the Hon. Ichabod Bartlett was indeed mobbed, as some doubtless were in times of old. For the term mob—we would substitute—serenade. We will now state what led to the serenade. On Friday night, 31st ult. the federalists of this town met in grand caucus in Jefferson-Hall. Mr. Bartlett made a long and the only harangue. Among other decorous remarks, he said, that "the opposition to the present administration is the most unprincipled faction that ever existed"—that it is "attempted" [by this faction] to proscribe talents, virtue and patriotism"—that the leaders of this faction are "demagogues and office-seekers"* and (the orator having enumerated divers crimes of which Gen. Jackson is guilty according to his statement) did he (Jackson) "reside among us, he could not be supported for a Constable or a Hogreeve." Whether Mr. Bartlett said that he would not, or that the people would not support Gen. Jackson for a Hogreeve is a matter in dispute among the friends of Mr. B. They may take their choice of the dilemma.

It may seem strange, that any of the citizens of this ancient and respectable town should feel at all irritated or incensed at any thing Mr. B. can say, although he is a Representative in Congress —because his reason seems to have left him—he seems to be worked up, or beside himself.— Nevertheless, some of the boys a large proportion of whom are Jacksonites, often cheering for Jackson to the great annoyance of the federalists, t and some of age, and some who play on instruments of music, were somewhat offended at Mr. Bartlett. They could not forget the figure he made in Jefferson-Hall, blasting the character of the man, of whom it may be said,

"History's emblazon'd page

Shall consecrate his name."

Mr. B. did, indeed deal out proscription and political death by wholesale to the poor republicans of the U. States—he really made a "war, pestilence and famine" speech.

"Incensed with indignation, B— stood

Unterrified; and, like a comet, burn'd.

That fires the length of Ophiuchus huge,

In the Arctic sky, and from his horrid hair,

Shakes pestilence and war."

They had never before discovered or even heard, that they composed a part of "the most unprincipled faction that ever existed"—they did not before know that this faction was more unprincipled, than that headed by a Danton or Marat. Some of them therefore resolved to be almost as complimentary to Mr. Bartlett as he had been to them. And therefore after the illumination and collation, some of the boys, and merry seamen, and musicians, and for aught we know some others, to the number of twenty or thirty, 'tis said, proceeded up Congress-street, and halted opposite the boarding-house of Mr. Bartlett, where it is said the music struck up "yankee doodle"—and the company huzza'd for Jackson, (Had they huzza'd for Adams, the sound would doubtless have been more agreeable to Mr. B.) After which, 'tis said the company, as in committee of the whole, unanimously chose Mr. B. as a hogreeve, by way of retort for his abusive reflections on the character of Gen. Jackson, thus proving that he could be elected an office, to which Gen. Jackson could not be! The serenade party afterwards retired to their respective homes, often cheering upon their way for Jackson, some of them passed the houses of one or two quiet clergymen, who it is possible, for a particular reason, idly imagined themselves insulted by the shouts for Jackson, but we cannot learn that any one intended to give the smallest insult to any clergyman in town. It so happened that the house of a respectable clergyman stands nearly opposite to that of Col. Decatur.— We verily believe that the illumination or the hearty cheers were not at all intended to wound his feelings, and that no insult was intended to any gentleman whatever. But Mr. B. had been the aggressor in "the battle of words" or smoke; he excited the indignation of many republican citizens; but notwithstanding his courteous and civil remarks, we are pleased to learn, that no personal violence was committed upon, or meditated against him. 'Tis barely possible that Mr. B. by reason of his intemperate denunciations, may have imagined, that "the Campbells" or the terrible "Jacksonites" were coming, and coming

*We must do Mr. B. the credit to say, that in some part of his speech, he levelled his artillery chiefly against the "demagogues."

We understand, that one of the school-masters in town, flogged one of his pupils, for joining in the cry of Hurrah for Jackson.

ater him. A person's imagination may be so wrought upon, in consequence of his own deeds that he may fancy that he sees ghosts, hobgoblins, and daggers, although it may all be a delusion.

Col. Cutter, in order to turn the serenade party into a real mob, more than insinuates, that they attempted to force the doors to get at Mr. B. No man can believe this statement. No evidence of it is offered, and nothing of that sort ought to be presumed. This is carrying the joke too far. All the force that we have heard of on either, or any party, is the force of words, and if intemperate or unbecoming language was used by any of our Congress folks in Jefferson-Hall, or the sailors or boys in the streets, which cannot be justified, we must attribute the same mor so much to malice aforethought, as to that political frenzy in respect to the Presidential question, which so inflames the passions that, gentlemen, as well as the "fragments," sometimes utter expressions, of which upon calm reflection they feel ashamed. If then either Mr. Bartlett or the serenade party, through the ebullitions of passion, have committed any excesses, would it not be well for them to forgive each other, and promise to do so no more?

But why should Col. Cutter attempt to make "much ado about nothing?" Why should he wish to injure the character of the town at a distance by such gross mis-statements? No person was mobbed—no damage was done—nor any personal violence attempted. Why—he wishes to raise a political breeze, of which for the last year at least we have had enough—to say something which will have a grand political effect upon the March election—to excite a public suspicion that there are leaders of the Jackson party, who raise ferocious mobs to assail the private dwellings of leading federalists! Is that your object, Colonel? If it is, you will be disappointed. No good citizen would uphold or justify, for a moment, a mob of any kind. No one does.— We hold them, and all disorderly assemblages in abhorrence. But whether Mr. Bartlett's bitter denunciations of the Jacksonites be not more disreputable, than the cheerings of the serenade party, is a question which we cannot object to submit to a candid public.
