Mr. Jefferson says, "The manufacturing mobs of great cities are like sores on the human body;"—He says, "That the Emigrants from Europe bring with them into America pernicious habits and an unbounded licentiousness;"—He also says, "That the cultivators of the earth are the chosen people of God:"
Question 1st, In what part of this State had the Jefferson ticket the greatest majority? Answer, From a great city, and from the ultramontane counties, inhabited by Emigrants, Whiskey-Boys and Insurgents.
Question 2nd, Where had the Adams ticket the greatest majority? Answer, From the cultivators of the earth—the chosen people of God—the honest, independent yeomanry, beyond the reach of foreign intrigues and corruption.
Question 3d, To whom therefore, is the result of the election in this State the most honourable? Unquestionably to John Adams.
A correspondent observes, that the fertility of invention of a certain party seems to be equalled only by the distress into which the returns of the elections of electors of the President and Vice-President has thrown them. There never perhaps was a more barefaced statement of the sentiments of men, than what has been given yesterday in Mr. Bache's paper, of the probable issue of the votes of the electors. The writer of the statement alluded to, has modestly declared, that Vermont, who has chosen electors, is to have no vote on the occasion.
