and it was their fury against Mr. Adams for supporting it, that called down upon ', his head the vials of their wrath. The denunciations of Mr. Adams for political inconsistency and apostacy, have proceeded almost exclusively from the friends and ! partizans of Mr. Crawford. They to a man have joined the cry against Mr. Adams. They have denounced him for the imputed

taints ot hisiathcrs administration, which we have demonstrated never existed. , That the public may judge of the sincerity of these pretences of hostility to Mr. Adams, we will here, adduce two facts which Mr. Crawford's friends cannot quesjtionand et they continue their support to ihiin. During what they, term 'the age of ,trrnr in 179C, a great number of addresses were presented to President Adams, approving the measures of his administration among them was one from Georgia, drafted and presented by a committee, of whom .Mr. Crawford was chairman. During the session of congress that we are now i considering. Mr. Crawford took his scat in ' the Congress of the United State, n a Senator from Georgia. And this surnorttr (f

I am with perfect respect, Gentlemen, your very humble and obedient servant, JOHN QIJLNCV ADAMS. Boston, June 8, lCUC. In the ensuing December, 1 008, James Sullivan, then Governor of Massachusetts

died, and left the chair of State in sion of the Honorable Levi Lincoln, Lieut. Governor. In the course of tin ter, the republican members of the 1 lature were so thoroughly convinced c talents and patriotism of Mr. Adams, so little did they then doubt hisrepubl principles and his honest and upright tives, and so much did they then cor. due to him from the Republican p

! that thev sent to him a delegation,

questing him to stand as the Republ I candidate for the vacant chair of Sta' j This fact alone ouirht to he consic throughout the Union. If the Republ of Massachusetts, who knew Mr. A most thoroughly, were ready 14) ear ! to place him in the Gubernatorial C j the Republicans of the other states o ; not, at this late date, to suffer wort j and unprincipled men to call his princi ! in question, to subserve their base am : terestt d views. To the committee

wanted on Mr. Adams, he expressed warm acknowledgments of the honor tl prollercd him, and his readiness to sU .1- . . ma

; as their candidate, could he do so cons j ently with the claims of another most t I tinguished and most deserving citizen, ' Hon. Levi Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln, he served was the acting Governor he 1 de-en edit well cf political friends, ant 'attempt to seb ct another candidate wo , only serve to divide the Republican pa. j w hen union w as necessary to their succt ; 7ov and this oiy, was Mr. Adams's rcar for ba lii.ini: to stand in loO'J the Rpu (cu iciuiiftitc for Governor of Maaci -etts. All w ho knew the late Gov. L5' coin, w ill applaud Mr. Adams's motiv and consider it as i lfordini: him an additional claim to the gratitude of the Repul-. lican pail. j March the Cth, 1 TOO, Mr. Mad; n, : tw o dav s alter he w as inaugurated I), -b ; dent, nominated Mr. Adam- as ambass i a j to Russia and Mr. Lloyd, the Fe rad ' Senator from Ma-sachusetts, who ha; viI peiseded Mr. Adam, then offered a soI lution that an embassy to that conn ui ! uiuu-eess.u v. 'J'his motion passed, and ot 'course the nomination of Mr. Adams was j not acted upon. During the sueccedini: i summer, however, he w as convinced of the ; necessity t 1 the embassy, and Mr. Adams I w as then appointed Ambassador in the recess of the Senate. Justhefote Mr. Adam? sailed for Russia, the Republicans of Boston invited him to a public dinner. At the head of the comI mittee for this purpose was Benjamin Austin, a trentleman who would have been ; the last in this world to have given public ' honors to any individual whose political in1 leunt V w as doubtful.

j Ju-t before this time. Mr. Adams nub-

! 1 , limbed his admirable Review of the Works I of Fisher Ames, whirh fully developed the ! dangerous designs of the Fssex Junto, and ; disclo.-ed the base purposes which afterj wards produced the Convention at Hartfoul. The support given in this review I and the Kmbargo letter alone, to the coun- ! try in her then perilous situation, gives Mr. j Adams higher claims to the tirst honors of

i the nation, than any individual in it.

Having now examined Mr. Adams's course previous to his gointr to Europe in 17lil,and having brought into view all his political acts from the time of his return from Berlin in the autumn of 1801, until he again embarked for Russia in the summer of loOD wo ask what there is in any

part of his conduct inronsisttnt with Ihpubicanprinciprs. orcwi'c to the (itlministrution of Mr, Jrjfcrson ? FLNELLA. The Mobile Register, of March 23, says:

The union which exists between my allies and rnc, my amicable relations with all other states, guarantee a long enjoyment of the general pe ac e. The interest and the wishes of the powers are u amnions in the preventing of whatever might disturb it. fct I cherish the hope that the aff iirs of tlie east and those of the Spanish and Portuguese Americas, will be regulated for the

I best advantage of the states and people inI terested therein, at d for the greater exten

sion of the commercial relations of the world. 4 Already numerous markets are constantly open for. the produce of our agriculture and industry. Competent maritime forces occupv stations the best adapted to protect our commerce efficaciously, " Measures have been taken to insure the reimbursement of the capital of the rentes, created by the state in less favorable tim sf or to obtain their transmutation, (conversion,) by regulations, the interest of which may be more consonant to that of other transactions. 4 Thisoperation,whicji must have a happy influence on agriculture and commerce, will tolerate, when accomplished, a reduction of taxes, and tend to heal tlie last wounds ofthe revolution. 44 1 have made known to you my intentions and my hopes; it is in the melioration of our internal condition, that I shall always seek for the strength ofthe state and the ts glorv of mv reign. 'Your concurrence is necessary to me,

gentlemen, and I reckon on it. God baa visiblv seconded our effarts; voti may inscribe yournaines in theannals of an epoch, at once happy and memorable fur Fiance; do not refuse me this honor." The speech finished, cries of l ive le roi resounded anew. Great improvements are going on in London, according to a letter from a gentleman in that city.
