LAUREIICSBURGH. SATURDAY, JANUARYS, 1828. It will be recollected that a note was some short time since inserted in our paper, stating that Mr. William Graham had been nominated by a writer in an Indianapolis paper, as a candidate for Governor. This gentleman has recently in a letter to the editor of the Indiana Journal, declined holding a poll for that office. It is probable that three candidates will be run at the ensuing election for Governor, viz: Mr. Ray, the present incumbent, Mr. John H. Thompson, and Mr. Israel T. Canby. The delegates appointed, and members of the legislature, friendly to the administration, met in convention at Indianapolis on the 1 2th inst. The follow

ing electoral ticket for President and Vice President was agreed upon to wit: Joseph Orr of Putnam county, Johw Watts of Dearborn county, Joseph Bartholomew of Clark, Isaac Montgomery of Gibson, Jambs Armstrong of Monroe.

The members composing the Jackson Ohio convention, met at Columbus on the 8th inst. for the formation of an electoral ticket for President and Vice Pre

sident. The following are the names of

the gentlemeri agreed upon as forming that ticket. Ethan Allen Brown, of Hamilton county Geo. JWCook, Columbiana. Wm. Piatt, Hamilton. James Shields, Butler. Henry Barrington, Miami. Thomas Gillespie, Green. Thos. L. Hamer, Brown. Valentine Keefer, Pickaway. Robert Lucas, Pike. John JWEhain; Franklin. Samuel Hericfc, Muskingum. George Sharp, Belmont. Walter M. Blake, Tuscarawas. Benjamin Jones, Wayne. Wm. Rayne, Trumbull. Hugh M'Fall, Richland. After the convention had adjourned

the legislature was held, at which John W. Campbell was nominated as a candidate for Governor.

Mr. Clay's Address. To-day we commence the publication of this highly in

teresting document rendered more 6o,

on account of its forming a prominent

branch of the present political history of

the times. It will no doubt be read with considerable interest by those of both parties who are seeking for correct information on political matters. Let the people read for themselves, and form their own opinions- let them analize the facts presented, aside from the dictum of irresponsible writers and aspiring politicians, and their decision will not fail

10 oe just ana nonoraDie. ine appendix referred to in the notes occupies too much room to be inserted in our paper; those however, who wish to peruse it can call at our office and have the reading ofit. Owing to the press of other matter for the last two weeks, we have been able to give but very little of the proceedings of Congress. There are several important subjects before the House of Representatives, which should have been noticed this week, had room permitted; but as it is, we shall have to epitomize to get

up witb the proceedings. The truth is,

in complying with the wishes of a number of our friends, we have for some time

past so engrossed our columns with local

matters, of minor importance, and polit

ical disputation, that the major and most

important concerns of the nation have

been almost entirely excluded. From the Raleigh N. C. Register.

The Editor of the Fayetteville Observer, in whose paper the charge of corruption and intrigue against Mr. Clay first appeared, backed by a responsible accuser, declares, after the greatest deliberation, that in his opinion the charge is not sustained by proof. Such candor is highly honorable, and in entire keeping with Mr. Hale's whole character. Hehaiset an example worthy of imitation, to those associated with him in the upport of Gen. Jackson. Will they follow it?

tOR THE PALLADIUM'. ADMINISTRATION ADDRESS. Messrs. Editors: A short time since I was favored with a pamphlet containing the administration address, delivered before a meeting in Lawrenceburghon the 1st of January inst. It is a document I was solicitous to peruse, having been informed that it was an able, dignified and correct exposition of facts and arguments; replete with sound sense; strikingly plain in its application; and happily adapted to the capacity and understanding of every reader. I need hardly tell you, that with such a recommendation, my curiosity had been much excited, and I embraced, with avidity, the first leasure I had to examine it. The 3d page read, I began to suspect that some persons had beentrvineto hoax me:

or, to be more charitable, posssibly I was

some way dehcient in taste tor such productions. owing: to a kind of partiality

long since imbibed for gen. Jackson as I could not discover anv thine vervsuDe-

nor in it, or out of the usual routine of

administration addresses. However, I

thought probably the committee bad designedly commenced in this manner, for the purpose of showing themselves to greater advantage in the end; and by some sudden, unexpected display of the sublime and beautiful, strike conviction

at once into the mind of the reader. I

read the 4th page: and here let me tell

you, I beheld, with astonhishrrient, the declaration of the committee, that John Q. Adams is, and has always been a gen

uine republican, notwithstanding he had been reared in the school of federalism.

This declaration appeared to me a bold assumption, and one which would re

quire better evidence in its support than

me committee nad adduced or could adduce. In this supposition I was more fully confirmed, when I examined the proof offered. They seem to attach

great importance to the fact that he resigned his sea! in the Senate of the U. Stales, because he could not conscienti

ously go with his constituents in opposition to republican measures.

When the circumstances which trans

pired previous to the resignation of Mr. Adams are made known, it will probably appear to some that other reasons opera-

teu more powerfully on his mind to in1 t ...

auce mm to resign, than conscientious scruples, or the fear of thwartinir the will

of his constituents. The legislature of

Massachusetts, having become dissatisfied with the vacillating course pursued by Mr. A. in the Senate, had, at the usual

elective period, superseded him by ano

ther, in whom they could confide. It was while smarting under this gentle rebuke from his constituents, that he performed the magnanimous act. of which

the committee speak in such Inch terms.

tils time had nearly expired: he had,

in me new election, been deieated; and he resigned his seat. Now, where is the ground for arguing from this circum

stance that Mr. Adams is a republican? A I . t 1 t ...

or mat oy doing as he did, he was actuated by no other feeling than that of a patriotic desire to support .the measures of Mr. Jefferson's adminstralion? To pursue this subject a little further.

Another reason which must have had its

weight with Adams, was that popular opinion had preponderated greatly in favor of those republican measures his constituents had instructed him to onnose.

it was therefore policy in him to resign,

ana oy tne act ende-ivor to ingratiate himself into the confidence of the reoub-

lican party. Mr. Jefferson had came into power. The federal party in the downfall of John Adams and the rejection of Aaron Burr, had been signally defeated; it, of course, required no ereat

stretch of human foresight to foretell they would never again attain the ascen-

cy in the government, and that to adhere to them, as a party, would be a "forlorn hope."' Mr. Adams had ioo much

discrimination not to see that the "seepA I f 1 ....

ire naa aeparted irom" his partv, and

mat it would be desperate in the exUeme to embark in its fallen fortune. From this period Mr. Adams seems to have labored sedulously to make his former opponants believe he was a true con

vert to republicanism. His friends more

recently have lent their aid in support of the sincerity of his professions, not-

wnnsianding their declarations, in some instances, now very ill v accord withonin-

10ns heretore expressed. Mr. Binns, a

leaumg spirit in favor of the administration, in Pennsylvania, very sisnificantlv

asks in 1 824, u?Ao is the federal candidate V

ana exullmgly answers the interrogation himself, by saying he is John O. Adams.1

Here, then, is the unqualified assertion of

a prominent supporterol Mr. Adams,that he is yet a federalist. So much for Mr. Adam' republicanism.

I shall now pass to an examination of

tne 5th page of the address. The committee after noticing Mr. Adams' many fine qualifications as a statesman and

scholar, tell us that the "zealots in the op-

position" nave charged him with having been "reared at the foot of the British throne," and many other things deroga

tory to nis cnaracter as a plain republican. These charges the committee have

gravely denounced as falsehoods. They say, in answer to the charge that he had

beeo rather too loug among kings, lords

and commons in his younger days, that 'he never resided in England until he was

sent there by Mr. Madison in 1814," at

which time he was upwards of 40 years of

age. I had always understood he had been in England at an earlier period, but was not altogether certain until 1 examined a, sketch of his life. Agreeably to this sketch, it appears Mr. John Q. Adams accompanied his father at the age of 11 years to France, whence, after a residence of 1 8 months, he returned to America. Shortly after he returned to France, where he went to school. He afterwards accompanied his father to Holland, and there also went to school.

Subsequently, he resided with his father

in ENGLAND, Holland and France, from 1783 to 1785. it also appears, notwithstanding the committee are so sensitive about it, that he resided, at an early age, in France, England, and Hol

land for some considerable length of

time, viz: from 1778 (with a little excep

tion) to 1785; seven year. During this

period he must have acquired the rudiments of a classical education, and been nearly fitted to enter on the duties of his after life. Having thus clearly established the fact that Mr. Adams did reside in England long previous to 1814, I shall leave the statement of the committee on this point to the judgmeut of the reader. Nothing preventing I shall continue my remarks on the address, weekly, until goue through. Dearborn. m Indianapolis, Jan. 17.

OBITUARY.

From the Savannah Georgian. Unpleasant Affair. A circumstance has lately occurred on the Chatahoochy,

say-5 the last Macon Telegraph, which, if

not timely reconciled, may increase the feuds already "existing between the whiles and Indians, on our frontiers: An Indian being seen under suspicious

circumstance on the plantation of one of

our citizens, was ordered to stop, by a white lad and negro, who were together and had each a loaded gun. Instead of

stopping, the Indian attempted to run;

when they both onforlunately fired, and wounded him in two places from which he shortly after expired. His friends, the Indians, who have no idea of the tar

dy operations of our courts ; among whom conviction, sentence, and execution follow in rapid succession, and often in the same hour that the offence is committed,

demand satisfaction for the outrage,
