the constitution itself, under the color of law. And that the (rue principle for the reforuntion of government, consists in the virtue and intelligence of a majority of the people ef these United States. Acting under these principles , we art. contained to stand in opposition to the

present administration, lor which lei the3e facts speak: : power by the votes of 'arded the will of their it came into those who disreg constituents, for the avowed purpose of advancing to the office of Secretary Sute, the individual who now holds and of thereby placing him, by the rule of safe precedent" in the line of succession to the Presidency, It cam? into power by votes thus given, in d jfi ince of the known and acknowledged, or expressed will of the constituent: and given under the manifest or known influence of the very individual whose elevation to the office of Secretary State could be ensured only by so bestowing them. It w is org.tniz Jd at its birth by advancing to the oii e of Secretary of State, the very ind vidua to whom Mr. Adams is admitted to owe his election: and by thus affecting an alliance between them in fortune and in fame, which placed the present Secretary of Slate in subordination to-him, (with whom in former days he had even refused to hold a seat in the Cabinets) which required of him an abandonment of all the principles on which his own pretensions to the Presidency had been sustained, and the surrender of an hostility founded upon avowed estimates of character, and allegations of improper acts and designs on the part of Mr. Adams; which, we believed, proved him destitute of integrity, and unworthy of all public confidence: and which has hermetically sealed the Secretary's mouth as to his promised investigations of the official conduct of Mr. Adams at Giient. It has been sustained since it come into power, by the direct denial of the proper obligations and responsibility of those representatives, by whose disre gard of their constituents' will it came into existance. It has assailed the principal of responsibility to the constituent, by elevating to offices of profit and trust, those very representatives when hurled from power by the people, whose will they had disregarded; and by declaring that there are occasions on which the representative ''ought not to be palsied by the will of his constituent." It has suffered, without rebuke, the active interference of its officers in elections. It has endeavored to preclude all scrutiny into its origin or acts; and to muzzle the press, by withholding all the patronage of the Government from every press which has dared to question either its legitimacy or the propriety of its measures. It has dispensed the offices and patronage of the Government, for f tie avowed purpose of supporting those who are friendly to its continuance in power. It has recalled the offices and patronage of the Government from those to whom no misconduct or neglect of duty was imputed solely because they have refused to become partisans in its defence. It has created a secret office for objects wholly unnessary ; &: has bestowed the same upon a representative to whose vote, against the will of his constituents, it owed its existence; who was, both from the want of health and qualifications, utterly unable to accomplish even the avowed object for which this office was created, if necessary. And it has created this secret office, and rewarded this individual with the secret service money of the government, af:er refusing to him an appointment which would have been known to the people of this country. It has bestowed this secret office in such a manner, and under such circumstances, as to render it secret, rather with reference to the people of the U. Slates, than to the people amongst whom the objects of his secret mission were to be accomplished: and after refusing any but a confidential disclosure of the character and objects of this office, to a committee of Congress empowered to en-, quire into these, it has after the adjournment of Congress, and when there was no committee to cross examine and to press the inquiry beyond the facts stated, published to the woild its own account of the transaction. j 1th as expended the people's money in pay i n g fo r "constructive journ a n d i n rewarding its adherents and partisans at. the most extravagant rates, for services, which were known at the time of payment, not to have been rendered by them. It has suffered its members to roam about our country, vindicating and eulogizing themselves, and arraigning the conduct and motives of those who are opposed to its continuance in power. It has drawn invidious and unjust distinctions not sanctioned by the Constitution, between natural-born and naturalized citizens. It has sought to create and sustain itself upon sectional feelings and local divisions unfriendly to the peace aud harmony of our country. It ha sacrificed our commerce by the

arts ofdiplomacy intended to engross fo itself the whole merit of preserving it. In fine, Us whole course has been that of an administration fearful of the original ground on which it rested eager to divert the public mind from the manner of its ori

Resolved, That in tne defence of these when our country calls, our lives and fortunes are ready to sustain them. Resolved, Tnat as freemen, jealous of our liberties, it is our duty, to oppose the beginnings of evil, to resist the establishment of "safe precedents" not sanctioned by our constitution and laws and to support no administration, the manner of whose origin and the direct tendency of whose principles and acts is, ta create a power above the people, or to place our rules above the reach of responsibility to the people, or to apply the power, the patronage and ;h treasure of the government of these U.

Resolved, That as in alt times past our fellow-citizens of the State of South Carolina, have been found by the tide of the constitution and the Union, expended their talents, their treasure and their blood in their support, it is our duty a? brethren, to rely with unshaken confidence upon their fidelity and attachment to t he perpetual union of these U.

Liverpool papers to the 1st Sept. inclusive, have been received at New York they are principally filled with details of the war against Turkey, which has offered greater resistance to the Russian arms than was anticipated. Choumla still bravely held out, repulsing every attack of the Russians with great slaughter, who were waiting rein ibrcements and constructing additional batteries, for another desperate attempt. It is also stated that the Russians appear disposed to pass round the fortress of! Choumla, and march along the coast of the Black Sea upon Adrianople. To the latter, large divisions of troops are continually proceeding. The capital alone is to raise a corps of 150,000, and no doubt is longer entertained that a vigorous resistance will be made. The Russians have been driven back from-Varna, bv the captain pacha, after a battle of twelve hours, having sustained severe losses. At the same time a division of the Russian fleet attempted a landing, but it was repulsed by the I urKisti batteries. Several other omniportant battles have resulted in favor of the Musselmans, and four thousand Rus sian prisoners had arrived at Smyrna, but their success will be but temporary, a disposition being manifested by Russia to prostrate the crescent, by every means within its power. The war on the side of the Turks is one of desperation and revenge, but will only protract the fate that awaits them. Accounts from the army in Wallachia, state that the war was already assuming a very sanguinary character, that both sides light with :i fury hitherto unknown, and

that no quarter is given. The Turks cut olfthe heads of their prisoners. The Russians stab them, and the emperor Nicholas has been induced to enjoin his soldiers to act with humanity. The exertions of the authorities have at length succeeded in stopping the pro-

gress of the plague at Bucharest, and jit is said that in other parts of YVnllachia

On the 20th of August, parliament was prorogued to the 30lh October when it is expected to be prorogued to some day between the 18th and 26th of November, then to meet for the "despatch of business."

There is said to have been a great change for the better, in the prospects of an abundant harvest. LOST CHILD. Six miles north of Mount Vernon, Jifferson coun) , Illinois, August 29tb, 1828. On the night of the 0th Febuary last, msrlf and wife and lit tie daughter, who vas four vears old on the 10th of Nov emnT last, went to visit and stay all night with my father-in-law, being from my house a short half mile distant. On Sun-day-morningthe 7?h of February we were for starting home early, with a viuw of preparing logo to a meeting that was to be held in the neighborhood that da. When we were ab.uit starting-, my wife, addressing the child, said to it, come Lier ztncy, let's go home. It set med inclined not to go. lis grand father interpositig said, let it stay, m) it was agreed tt should stay. In a short time after it started with some children that went nearly in a direction to my house, with a view it is thought ofcormnfi home: after getting a short distance, say out! i ii . .1 .

The general belief is, that it must have perished with cold, as on the night after it was lost it. commenced raining, and nexi morning it snowed, to which, if it was exposed, it must have perished with the, cold. This is my own opinion; but lill it is strange it could not be found. Believing that nothing is impossible with Him in whose hands are the issues of life, and hoping that if the child still lives, this may be the means of its discovery,! have determined to solicit the publication of tae circumstance in your paper. It was a sensible, pert, quick spoken child ; had a small scar in her forehead, occasioned bv falling on the floor on a piece of broken plate; had on, when it was lost, a cotton frock and linsey one over it, shoes and stockings, a IimIo Krtnnat f u little honnet, and tor the purpose ot pre- , c (l ', . - , serving lv irom me ear fichu to write h ilf was subject, the bonnet was kept tied under its chin.

l ull TKK PALLADIUM. Messrs. Editors: In the Franklin Repository of the

11th inst. 1 saw a publication, in which, was incorporated, a letter addressed by John Qnincy Adams to the Legislature of Massachusetts, dated 'June 8, 1808." The remarks of the editor of the Repository are tolerably well calculated, and no doubt designed to impose upon the people the belief, that John Q. Adams, the present chief magistrate of this is;tnat he jias pvl;r iUl ailOI)) been nssociuted with, aiid sustained by the old republican, or Jeiferonian party. In so doing he most certainly displays a wanton disposition to misguide public sentiment; or if he is actuated by pare mo tives, he i most egregiously in error himself. The slang emitted by him upon the occasion, shall never deter me from unveiling the inystrry, and leading my countrymen into a correct knowledge of the matter. The greater proportion of the people are virtuous, patriotic and intelligent, and will of themselves, walk right, provided there is no false index to guide them into error. Having no de sire to impose upon the public, I will ad-j duce testimony sustaining the positions 1 assume, together with the remarks 1 shall make upon this subject, so vitally important to every citizen of this confederacy. The remaiksl am about to submit, shall be both liberal and charitable; whilst I am unwilling to admit the positions assumed by the editor of that print as to Mr. Adams' consistency, I very readily agree, that the letter upon which he relies for proof, was written by Mr. Adms, and also, that he reigned his seal jin tjie Senate of the U. S. in consequence of hi? course beinf obnoxious to the kmfedera I Legislature" of Mass. Tht-se facts admitted, only go to establish another, viz: that Mr. Adams, the great tile leader of the coalition party, is an apostate federalist, and that in falling in with the republican parly, he was actuated by sinister motives. Mr. Joeelyn says: :The truth, as it respects Mr. Adams, is, iu 1803, the republican legislature of Massachusetts sent him to the Senate of the United States." Will' due deference however, 1 beg leave to differ with the gentleman, and will proceed to shew that Mr. Adams wa sent to the Senate, by the FEDERAL, and not the "republican" Legislature of Massachusetts. When Mr. Adams was elected to the U Slates Sena I e, ,the spirit of party raged with considerable, virulence, throughout the country ; and JUr. Adams U'as supported by the federalists, who were strongly opposed to the general toursc of policy pursued by .Mr. Jefferson. j)Ir. Adams for stveral years, -warmly suppHirted the VIEW S and PRINCIPLES of hi 3 constituents ;" to says Mr. Adams' biographer; and as evidence of that fact, the reader is referred to the Amcricnn liiogravtiu, naze Wo. If Mr. Adams had been that inflexible republican the gentleman fain would represent him to have been previous to the year 1 807, i it presumable that he would have been elected over Gener al Skinner, bv the votes of the friends ofi T I MOTH V PICKERING, "the great red and blue dragon of federalism?"1 and at a time too, when the "spirit of party raged with such unp iraUekd virulence?''' Common sense w ill dictate the answer. Least some may doubt the fact, that Messrs. Adams and Pickering were competing candidates and that both were sustained by the same party, I w ill insert a paragraph from the Huston Centinel," the great organ of the federal party of that day it establishes the fact beyond contradiction, and shows conclusively that the federal partv were determined to-triumph at all hazards.

fine declared to be chosen oq tie part of the House The reader will discover that upon the first ballot, Mr. Pickering had G7 votes, while Mr. Adams had but 10 and on the fourth and final ballot, that Mr. Pickering received barely 6, and Mr. Adams C6, having gained 7G 73 of which were of (he friends of Mr. Pickering. The reader will also observe, that Gen. Skinner, ("the only democrat voted for,") retained his strength, save one, throughout the whole four ballotings; hence it is obvious, that Mr. Adams was elected by the eJcra I pa r:y exclusively. Since I have said that Mr. Adams, in handing in his adhesion to the republican party, was governed by sinister motives, I will adduce at least, prima facia evidence

of that fact. A short time only, prev ious to Mr. Adams becoming an avowed dem ocrat, or abandoning his old party, he ad dressed a letter to one of his federal associates, from which the following is extracted : "There is no other way that the republican party can be broken down, than by joining in with tbein, and urpng tt:era on mb precipi tancy to the completion of their views, and in the eta! their policy will become so odious to theruselres that they will abandon it, and then says he, we can have a form of government I better suited to our genius!'" It is a well known fact that Mr. Ad ams has joined in with the republican party, (at least for the time being.) and we have no earthly assurance but his ob ject is to break it down. A Yothc. From the Annotator. ADMLYSTRA TJOjY MEETIjYG. At a meeting of the Administration Central Committee, held in the town of Salem, on the 1st of October, 1828, William Graham, esq. of Jackson county, was called to the Chair, and J. Rowland, esq. of Washington county, appointed Secretary. The standing Committee, appointed at the meeting in April last, now report ed an Adpri ss to their t ellow-Citi-zexs, which was read and adopted bv a unanimous vote. On motion the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted, viz: 1. Resolved, That suitable measures he taken by this Committee to circulate the Address generally among our fellow citizens. 1. Resolved, That we viewr with emotions of the highest gratification, the strong and increasing support which the salutary policyr of the present Administration continues to receive from the citizens of Indiana, and the inhabitants of the Western Country generally. 3. Resolved, i hat we cordiallv recommend to our fellow citizens, a firm and unwavering support of those mo and measures w hose salutary influence has so essentially contributed to advance the prosperity of the West and the Nation at large. 4. Resolved, That in our opinion, Mr. Adams, in his last message to Congress displayed a generous and praise-worthy ; solicitude for those unfortunate settlers and purchasers of public lands, who had forfeited their money from inability to complete their payments, and that the important relief lately obtained by said purchasers, was mainly owing to his provident interposition and recommendation. .r. Resolved That the public official sanction repeatedly given by Mr. Adams to Domestic Manufactures and Internal Improvements by signing laws avowedly enacted for their encouragement, is regarded by us as a solemn pledge, that if continued in office, his further exertions will.be consecrated to the same gieut interests. 6. Rcsohrd, That we consider the late regulation of the Tariff, adopted bv Congress. as a just and constitutional !law, calculated and intended to advance and protect American industry and capital, in preference to that of fonigncrs, and that we view with undisguised regret and indignation, the disorderly, dis organizing, and insurrectionary proeeuconstitutional, who in consequence of the passage of aid law, have threatened to withdraw from the Union, and who, have in many instances advocated open resistance to the collection of imposts and duties under the said law. 7. Resolved, ihat a sacred observance of the Constitution of the United States, is the imperative duty of every American citizen, and in the language of the immortal father of his country , we hold it our bounden dutv 4o frown indignantly on the first darining of every attempt to sever the (7nio7i, or to weaken the tics that bind together its several parts.' 8. Resolved, That the numerous threats lately thrown out hy our mh guided fellow citizens of the South to dissolve the Union, to withhold from i s their trade, and to lay prohibitory tax s on our heef, llour, horses, cat tie, hog Sec will have no effect in causing us to relax or withdraw our support from a -ystem of policy which we believe promotes the interest of Indiana and the nation at large, but that one cfe,.t of those intemperate and anti-AiocP. ti prorerd ingswill be to cause us to doubl wheih erthe Presidential caudldut', f .-wj. .
