FEM A LE 1 N KLUENCÊ.
It is truly surprising, that, amid al! that has been
said, and written, and done, to suppress intemper
ance so little aid has been expected, or rather so
little aid solicited, of the female sex.—This cannot
have arisen from any doubt of their willingness, or
contemptuous estimate of their influence ; nor from
a belief that they have no immediate interest in the
extirpation tf this destroyer of human happiness.
Nothing is more evident than (he fact, that females
hold as strong a control over the Imbits and morals
of the community as masculine authority—nav, that
they are capable of surpassing its utmost sway.
They have not only the privilege of imbuing the
minds of children with the choicest sentiments of
virtue,-—moulding them by unwearied assiduity in
to whatever shape or impressing them with what
image they please ; but they exercise, atalaterpe
riod, over youth, and manhood, and old age, a spell
which is hard to be broken.—They have merely to
will it—not by an arbitary mandate, or the assump
tron of power—but by the irresistible force of their
sweet eloquence—by the unceasing remonstrances
() f fi{j a i j ove am j parental aftection—by the tender
supplications of hearts bound up in the welfare of
husband, or child, or brother—and the decanter will
no longer dishonor the side-board, nor the demijohn
occupy the closet. It cannot lie asserted with too
|nuc | ) earnestness, that the use of ardent spirits may
| )e overcome in every dwelling, by the judicious ex
ercise of female influence. The struggle perhaps
may lie protracted for months and years ;—but the
probability is, that it will be short—and the certain
• )|mtit J wi „ prov(! victorious.
And who. it may be asked, are more deeply in
| erestC( ] "m the overthrow of intemperance than fe
nmles, who arc so often the innocent, unoffending,
beai t-broken victims of its wrath? Whose happi
ness is so often wrecked upon its treacherous shoal,
or whelmed in its fiery flood, bv entwining it around
au individual who after wedlock combines in bis
character the sot with the husband ! A drunkard—
unconnected by any ties, and alone in his iniquity
—is a pest and burden to society ; a poisoner of joy
wherever he moves ; the enemy of virtue, and the
brutal assailant of helplessness. But wedded to a
woman who he has promised, under an obligation

the most solemn and binding, to honor, to cherish & I
protect—a woman, whose spirit like the sensitive
plant, droops at the slightest touch of violence ami
whose affections are of such a nature, that though
they cannot be uprooted by the blasts of adversity,
yet they but create aliment for grief—what can be
more unnatural in its nature, or aflecting in its as
pect, or terrible in its consequence, than such a
union ? We may canvass the world for its viclims
of woe—go down into the solitude of the dungeon,
where the light of heaven has never gladdened the
eye of the prisoner, nor its pure air entered to re
lieve his laboured breath—accurately measure the
sufferings of those who bleed under the lash of the
task master, or groan under the iron bondage of op
pression—but where shall one be found, deserving
commiseration than the female who is doomed
to waste an existence with a drunken husband ?
whose agony more intense—whose hope more des
perate ?—What horror ! to live through life with a
monster, whose heart is tilled with bitterness, whose
lips with cursing.'—with a wretch, sunk below the
brute creation in his uncleanly habits and outrageous
conduct—-lost to every thing ennobling, beautiful
and glorious ; having vitality enough to signify exis
tence, without the consciousness of accountability
to God or man ! And yet, what numbers of hap
less, forlorn wives, in every village and town and
citv, are pining under this accursed connexion !
We cannot but express our surprise, therefore,
assimilated as is domestic enjoyment with a tempe
rate household, that appeals to tire females of our
country, soliciting their co-operation in the work of
reform, are so iftifrequcnt. We know, indeed, that
they have not been entirely forgotten—they have
occasionally occupied a place in the various essays
and addresses which have been published upon the
. I subject of intemperance ; but in view of what they
! are capable of accomplishing, and of their im
mense influence over the habits of men, they have
not received a due share of attention.
A full and proper exercise of their power is de
sirable, as well to promote their dearest interests as
the welfare of others. There may he found, even
; .u their own circles, much room for improvement in
the use of stimulating drink ; and a tippling woman,
ot all spectacles in the world, is the most abhorrent.
But we wave the occasional appearance of this vice
g the degraded of their number, to impress
upon them, as a beautiful body, the proximity which
exist between its declension and their future welfare.
The stigma of drunkenness has never been fasten
ed upon their general character; yet, is it not to
be. apprehended, that, by perpetuating the custom
of presenting refreshments to visitors in the most
captivating forms, they are doing more to uphold
the cause of intemperance than its openly avowed
votaries? They have erred, and still continue to
err, in esteeming this an act of friendship and hos
pitality.—It forms no part of gentility. It creates
no virtuous esteem though many imagine it will pur
chase 'golden opinions' of one's own politeness. It
argues nothing of wealth, because cordials and spi
rits are cheaper than bread-stuff. '

POLITICAL.
From the Pennsylvania Intelligencer.
Among the many disingenuous, unfair, uncandid
and false arts, resorted to by the partisans of gen.
Jackson to promote his election, none, perhaps, is
better calculated to mislead and deceive, than the
assertion so often repeated by them, " that he was
entitled to the presidency last time, because he was the
choice qf the people," yet nothing in reality is more
untrue No man can claim to he the choice of the
people who cannot show that a majority of the peo
ple voted for him ; and this general Jackson has ne
ver done, nor his friends for him, nor never can do.
He had not a majority of the people, nor of the
electors, nor of congress in his favor. He was in
a minority in every instance. There were 261 elec
tors chosen in the whole United States, who wore
the
cidedly against him—in other words,that he was no
their choice. The following table showing the
number of votes given for each electoral ticket, is
made up from (be oflicial returns in those states
where the people voted directly for the electors, and
in those states where the legislatures chose them,
they are apportioned according to the number'of
vbtables in those states, compared with the num
ber in the other states, and actual vote given by
them :
In the stales marked thus t, the legislature chose

The assumption then that Jackson was the choice
of the people is absolutely false.
Now let us see how the vote stood in congress.
No one having a majority of the whole, number of
electoral votes congress had to choose one of tha
three highest. They were as free to choose the
lowest as the highest. The vote there is by states;
each state having one vote, and a majority of the
whole number ofstates is required to a choice. The
vote stood thus

24 states in nil.
Thirteen being a majority of the whole, Mr. Ad
ams was fairly and constitutionally elected ; and
see that Jackson,had but seven states—less than
third out of the twenty-four. So that the'assertion
that he was at any time, nr in any zuay, the choice
of the people, is entirely false.
In addition to all this, two other facts Ought to be
especially noticed :—
1st. In the slave holding states, where, in ap
portioning the represent; Min in congress, and the
number of electors, five slaves are counted equal to
three free white men, Jackson received 55 of his
electoral votes, of which at least eleven represent
ed slaves only. In any calculation then, claiming to
give a fair view of the voice of the people, these must
be deducted.
2d. In Maryland Juckson received 7 electoral
votes and Adams 3, and in Illinois Jackson receiveA
2 and Adams 1 ; yet in both those states Adams had
a larger vote of the people than Jackson. This
arose from the electors being chosen by districts.
The Jackson districts gave small majorities, while
those in favor of Adams gave large ones. Had the
election in those states been by general ticket, as ig
Pennsylvania, it is plain that the whole of the elec
tors in both would have been for .Adams.
It is not contended that in either case, the vote as.
it stood, was illegitimate. In the one case the con;
stitution allows the slaves to be thus represented
and in the other, the laws of Maryland and Illinois
required the electors to be chosen by districts ; but
certainly, in connection with thte preceding state
ments, it shows beyond all contradiction or cavil,
the absolute falsity of the assertion that the voice of
the people was tor Jackson.
Here then the whole foundation on which thç'
bold and designing partisans of Ja..ckson rest theis
hopes in the present canvass, is removed at once by
the testef truth. A3 soon a* this matt'eris under*
stood by the people, the hopes of Jacksonism will 1
be at an end. Jackson having neither diameter
nor qualification to sustain him, his supporters have
nothing hut this falsehood te rely upon. On this
they built the false charge against Mr. Adams, Mr.
Clay and the majority of congress, of bargain anil
corruption, which, unless it were true that Jackson
was the choice of the people, and therefore enii
t'ed to the presidency, could not possibly have hap
