"Jaxis PajjifONr Secretary." IT The only candidates now norotna ted for the Presidency of the United States, are James Madison and De Witt Clinton. Every thing which ingenuity and talent, experience and legal information can adduce in sup, port of Mr. Clinton, is to be found in an address "to the People of the United State.i 'from" a special committee of the city of. New York, acting under the authority" of the general committee of correspondence of. the state of New. York. That we may meet the question fairly, we purpose briefly and candidly to exa mine this address. We know the importance of the subject, and we shall scrupulously adhere .to facts. Neither sophistry nof misrepresenta tion arc necessary to subset ve the cause of truth or promote the great interests cf the "republic The elec tion 61 a chief magistrate, always a momentous epoch, is now more than ever so, because now we are at war. The courages and resources of the nation should be called forth vigor ously and prompdy. It is only by waging a. vigorous war that we can hope for an honorable and lasting s .
