enemies? In the midst of the most unparalled abuse that ever disgraced the presofa free country no censure or complaint is heard from him, no resentment in word or deed has been manifested no passion has disturbed the serenity of his temper or betrayed him into violence; conscious of rectitude and relying on the justice of his country when passions and prejudices shall have passed away, lie appears not to heed the weapwia 'm nimrrl nt" his breaS U but

fixing his eve alone upon his country and over fai thful to his trust, he challenges the respect of all, even the bitterest ofj his foes we again repeat, we cannoi 100 iuVhlv annlaud him for sucli a course. The members of his cabinet are all of the old republican party; they are ail men of high reputations and distinguished talents,.long the favorites of the peo- . pie, occupying the first station in society and filling, a large space in the public eye. With such assistants as these, with such men at the head of the government, Ave have the strongest guaranty that all as now will be safe and conducted in the best manner for the general welfare. We are at least assured that no outrages will be committed that the constitution will not be wantonly assailed, that' no armed assasin will rush into its holy places and profane its altar lhat peace will be preserved and the supremacy of the laws constantly vindicated and enforced. On the other side we have just cause for apprehension and alarm, just reasons to fear the safety of the republic. Preferring our country to men, distrusting the temper and qualifications of Gztu Jackson, dreading the example of placing the military over civil talents in the government, believing him a southern man in feelings and interests, opposed to the great interests of the west honestly though certainly mistaken in his views of national policy fearing the parly who would come into power with him and indignant at their violence and in justice entertaining of Mr. Adams the opinions we have expressed, and moreover believing it due to our Eastern brethern, who for thirty two out of thir ty six years have supported southern Presidents, to support one of theirs, having equal claims to selection and finally, believing it both impolitic and unwise at the end of four years to turn out one man who has done well, and whose measures we approve, and put in another we are determined fo support him with zeal and use our best atlbrts to ensure his re-election, Resolved, therefore That this meeting; will at the ensuing eleesion, support tbeir distinguished cilizen John Quincy Adaoas for the Presidency of tie United States; that they have high confideuce in his virtues and abilities: that they believe bis first election constitutional and pure, and utterly disbelieve the charge that it was obtained by bargain and corruption; a chugs they believe originating in malice and party spirit, which is- sustained by no proof, but on the contrary refuted by every attempt to support it, and disproved as far as the nature of negative evidence will admit. Resolved further, That we have the most undim oisbed confidence in tbe purity and integrity of Henry Clay: that he has grown upon our esteem: that in voting for Adams for President he irave the onlv vote he could have eiven at the time, consistent with his character and! principle: that we feel indignant at the perse cation of his enemies, who unable to compete

Marks, Parris, Willey. December 12. Mr. Harrison, introduced a bill repeal ing, in part, the duty on imported Salt, which" he prefaced by a few remarks. He said that a similar measure having been before the State last year, upon which his conduct had been somewhat misunderstood, he w ished to explain his motives in now offering this bilh It would be recollected lhat he had given his feeble etfoi ts, last year, to sustain the bill, which underwent a full discussion. He had then supported it more from his convictions -that the measure was calculated to be generally beneficial to the country, than from any knowledge (that it was peculiarly desirable to his own State, although he believed Ohio would share in the benefit. The reason of his bringing forward this bill, and aiding it with his voice, was, tlwrt he whs now 1 ... a perie:! convinced toat it was as loudly i,led or m his own State as in. any oth - ' stu uuo oi iuc tuunuj section ot the country. iNot lniif since, thei' was a rise in the price oi salt, which had been h severely in Ohio. This advance was produced by a combination among the capitalists engaged in the domestic manufacture, by which the artiele was brought up to 50 cents. The inhabitants of Ohio were, in fact, at the mercy of a few capitalists, who, at certain seasons, were able to raise the prices by a combination, whereby a heavy t.ix was put upon the people, and thousands of dollars realized by these speculators. It had been formerly argued, that the reduction of the duty on imported s;dt would injure the sale of the domestic article. This he did not think could-in any respect, be the case. The 1 m a bill which he now proposed was tbe same as that otfered last year, and contemplated a reduction, at the expiration of one year, of the present duty, from 20 to 15 cents, and the next year to 10 cents. So far as the result would atfect his own State, it would be benefi cial; because the salted provisions which were put down with imported salt would bear a competition with those of any country; and, therefore, for the prosperity of that branch of trade,, it was requisite to obtain the imported article. It now came up the Ohio in steamboats, and was procured, although at a high rate. To lower the duty would not injure the manufacture, while it would protect the People from those combina tions by which capitalists were able to raise the prices to an exorbitant height. The bill was then read the first time. Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky introduced a bill for the preservation and repair of the Cumberland Koad; which was read, and ordered to a second reading. Mr. Hendricks prose ited the memorial of the Legislature of the State of Indi ana, paying that such lands as have not, from the badness ot their quality, been sold, may be disposed of at a lower price; which was referred to the Committee on Public Lands. , .Vr. Hendricks, also, presented two joint resolutions of the Legislature ol Indiana one instructing the meTTiber.-

Congress from that State, to use their

endeavors to obtain from Congress an extension of time to purchasers of lands, which are about to be forfeited for the non-payment of the purchase money: the other directing them to endeavor to obtain the extension of the right of preemption, in rases where the purchasers relinquish part of the lands in payment for the remainder; which were referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
