S A review of all the circumstances attend ing the eonteft just decided, displays the si- y nal triumph of thefriendsto order, in a light b fplend'd i iJeed. The paltry fa&ion of pre- 0 tended republican* had left unemploytd no h resource of art or violence that might di rctllv or remotely contribute to forward thfir designs. In lawless mobs they tyran- [ nically beat up the quarters of the peaceable federalifts, anda&ually threatened with the French code of club-lavr, every man who c hadfirmnefs t» obey the diftates ofhisown j f confcienee, or pursue the convidlions of his v reason and judgment. Nor did their tuibu- ( lent and lawless pra&ices end here.—On the j t tle&ion ground, in one of the diftridts, a 1 i horseman, compleatly caparisoned, and arm- \ { ed, with a drawn sword in hit hand, paraded j t the ele&ion ground the whole day, with the i t manifeft design of awing the weak, with the ( tremendous label '■ Israel or Death" on his j i cap, and the raw-head and bloody bones with a cofnn, underneath. In another dif- 1 trkil;, the dependants on Citizen Snuff, theLrt>ir, paraded the ground with French cockades in their hats, and armed with 1 bliidgeons. Corruption, of the fouled kind, was carried on by fubfeription, and many taverns were kept open for a week previous to the eleftion, free of expence to all pre cious republicans. By means like thefc, and a thousand other arts, by calumnies and lies of the fouled and moll gruundlefs nature, this insolent phalanx of fo'idifant republicans, appear ia the refnlt with a falfe and unbot tomed force—-with a weight not their own. The weather, too, unfortunately cut off ma ny-hundred votes, which would otherwifc j appear in the federal fide. It is a fad, ton ! remarkable to escape comment, that in the Northern Liberties where the whole number of taxable: amount only to 1800, that the total amount of votes should reach the asto nishing number of near 1600 ; while in the city, where -the taxable* amount 'to 8000, no more than 34.C0 votes can be drawn out. Thi* ts drange, very drange ! i Under all these circumstances disadvanta geous on the one hand, and the extraordina ry and illegal steps resorted to on the other, it is a circumstance irrefidibly evincive of the overbearing strength of the friends of order, that, they finally triumphed. Ani mated by so glorious and splendid as issue 5 and ftrowg in the confidence which a good cause so invariably inspires—let us perfevFe with unceasing constancy, in the ways of well doing. For by an invincible condancy and perfevera*ee, alone can we expert to coun tervail that daring obdinacy with which the partisans of confufion, of treason and assassi nation unremittingly pursue their desperate designs, againd the comfort of society, and against the fortunes and the lives of us all. The Aurora fays the independent federal eleftors of the city were bribed. It is afle -1 ed who bribed the federal yeomen of Dela-. ware county ? It isthus the adorers of the people compliment their virtue and integrity when they presume to exercise their own I judgment in opposition to these would be ' tyrants, the exclyfive patriots. [ COMMUNICATION. Benjamin F. Bache, " the impartial editor of the Aurora," since his expulsion from the I place of a note-taker in the house of repre sentatives, has occasionally appeared in the gallery of the senate, for the purpefe of giving to the public the debates of that ' body. On Friday of lad week and Mon j day of this, the senate were occupied in . discussing an amendment proposed by Mr. I Tearewell to a bill regulating the proceed : ings on impeachments, which contemplated ■ the trial of impeachment by Jury. Mr. ' Bache was present, and took notes of all ! thjt was said, and of the result when ihe c question was taken. He has favored his tcaders with the speech of Mr. Tazewell, rev fed and corrsUcd by the author. But though he pretends, when it fwits him, that his calling as an editor, involves in it the duty of giving the public an impartial datemant as all that palTes in the national n legislature ; yet he has thought it confident u with his nice probity to fupprtfs not only all e that was said in answer to Mr. Tazewell's motion, hut the final result. And the pnb d lie are not yet informed «f the fate of a ' proposition w"hich went radically to destroy that important check on executive influence, the power of impeachment in the house of |- e representative«.
