Arnonc all the writers who have indulg-

ed in vituperation and abuse against Mr. Adams and his supporters, there are none

who go to greater lengths than a person who siens himself "West;'' "A friend to

Community," &c. &c. (varying his signa- I

tu re according to circumstances) in the

Eaton paper. "Federalist,1' "Federalism,"

"torics," "Codfish gentlemen,'' "Cattish gentlemen," "Episcopalian priests," "fiery, red mouthed, hot headed aristocratic fed

eralist," &.C. Sec. float through his produc- ;

tionsin the most beautiful coniuski.. 1 was j; at a loss to conceive why he should he so i; frenzied, but I have learned that Mr. A-j

dams' friends are rapidly inrrrasn g in number in Preble county ; this, and the approach of Dog davs seem to have trans

ported him "beyond the bounds of rca- . ... i i-

sor.'and intiicted upon mm a species oi insanitv, that will bring him to a strait jacket," unless the cool weather we have "had for some days past shall have a salutary eifect upon him. The Eaton R'gistcr, of the C 1th ult. contains an article from which the following is extracted: "Some are considerably alarmed to find go many of the preachers of the west, and the society of Friend-, throughout the Union, in lavor of L!m Q. Adams, when thev call to mind the direful consequences of the friendship which existed between Episcopalian priest and followers oi W illiam Penn, and the mother country, during the revolutionary war." To those who are acquainted with the principles and the history of the Friend?, it would be unnecessary to say any thing in their vindication; but -uch base slanderers deserve the severest reprehension. The whole history of the society, presents a series of intolerance, persecution, and

savage crueitv on the part uf the establishchurch in Evjlund, onno-ed bv christian

1 i . humiiitv. meekness, and unparalleled f r1 le'trui'.ce on the part of the Fiier.d-. "Who I the meinhersui that society by the Puri-

in everv way that barbarity and power could devise? Who does net hnow of the distresses they hae alwaj ,s -ufl i t d by the persecution ofthe nalitarv , sine- the time of George Fox, until the present day? That they have ever had any connexion "with " Episcopalian priests," is most undoubtedly fabe: t.he very dortrines ofthe society are opposed tu the Priesthood of every set t. That eau-e must rertair lv p a bad one that needs such unfounded calunuo s to suppoit it. The "half liorse, half-alligator ' parly appear (h tei mined to trample on every thing L'ood.and to effect the election ot their Chiefb every means, no matter how base. They have yet to learn that the intelligent citizens of the west v.Jl properly appreciate their motives. 1 hat there are 'many good men who support Mr. Clay cannot be denied, and tu "tt they detest mhIj despicable writers -s this Himb of the law " at Eaton, is well known. There are many members of the s riety of Eiiends who support Mr. Clay, but I trust when tin y see them-elves so much abused by the partisans of the "Lawyer's Candidate,' that they will all unite to oppose him. rI here an- four candidates, viz. the "CaufUs candidate," the "Lawyer's candidate," th j "Military candidate," and the " PeopleV candidate," and which the American people will choose docs not need the power of divination to foresee.

At a respectable meeting ofthe citizens of the townships of Woodbrige and Rah way, on the 8th ult. it vfusunanimously resolved, that they would support, and do recommend to their fellow-citizens, J. Q. Adams for President, and J. C. Calhoun for Vice President. Alabama. At a very large and respectable meeting in the State house at Cahawba, on the 17th June, it was resolved that they would support J. Q. Adams, for President, and J. C. Calhoun for Vice President. Virginia. At a respectable meeting of the citizens of Chesterfield county, on the 2oth of June, it was unanimously resolved, they would support J. Q. Adams, for the Presidential chair. At a "large and most respectable" meeting of the citizens of Charles county, on the 17th July, it was resolved that they would support Mr Adams for the Presidency. At a large meeting at Greenbrier rourt-house, on the 3d of July, it was resolved, that those present will use all honorable means to secure the election of J. Q. Adams to the Presidential chair. Ohio. At a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Franklin county, at Columbus, on the 20th ult. it was unanimainly resolved,that those present will support John Q. Adams for President, and do recommend him to the people as the most suitable person to fill the Presidential chair. At a meeting of the citizens of Worthington, and its vicinity, resolutions were adopted (with but one dissenting voice.) approving of the republican course of John Q. Adams, and his eminent qualifications for the Chief Magistrarc of a free people.

Domestic Manufactures. A writer in the Lebanon Gazette, over the signature of "Cato," in answer to another writer, says: 4iB(it I am called on to produce some evidence jron my favorite candidate Mr. Adams, that "goes to show'1 what hu opinion is in regard to the present tarilF. Here I suppose 'a subscriber" conceives that he has brought me into a dreadful dileni-ra-O that Dr. Coleman had written him a letter! 1 answer that he was theirs in the U.

At a meeting ofthe citizens of Meigs count v, on the 5th of July, resolutions were

pas-ed, i rri.ii.iitir John Q. Adams, for.

rresident, ai d Andrew Jackson lor ice President. "At a large and respectable meeting ofthe citizens i f Washington county," it was uncninwuly R i-olved, that those who were present vill support John Q. Adams. for President, and Andrew Jackson for Vice President. At a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Hamilton and Rofsville, f Butler county,) resolutions were adopted ur.;:nimrju!y nominating John Q. Adams, for the Presidential chair. t a meeting of a number ofthe citzns of Trumbull county, Mr. Adams, had 115 votes. Gen. Jackm 10, Mr. Clay 5, and Mr. Craw lot d 3. The li-t might be extended to a considerable, length, but enough is given to show that the friends of Mr. Adams are not few in number, or in respectability. They are beginning to arise in their might, and to wield the potent arms of truth and reason, and their success will he triumphant.

Ohio Journal. Proposals have been issued by Messrs. Wood & Fisher, of Cincinnati, for publishing in Columbus, a paper with the above title. It is intended to give a correct statement of the proceedings of the Legislature of that state, and a summary of foreign and domestic news generally. From a Ion and intimate acquaintance with the gentlemen, 1 am free to say (iiat they will do their utmost to give general satisfaction; and if private worth, and good talents are any criteria by which to judge, it will not be exceeded in point of usefulness by any paper in the state. A publication of this sort is much wanted at the scat of government of this state: the proceedings of our Legislature have never

been very correctly reported, and a paper that would do it no doubt would meet with ample patronage. While on this subject I would mention a suggestion, which was made here a few days since relative to the laws passed at the last session. It was said the reason why the laws have not been published is, that unless they are published before the day fixed for the meeting ofthe Legislature at Indianapolis, that the members will have to go to Corydon, as they will have no law to authorize them to assemble at Indian

Presidential. On the evening of the 15th ult. "the friends of Mr. Adams, attendant on the U. S. Circuit Court, from ditferent parts ofthe state" of Ohio, met and passed resolutions approving of the Electoral candidates announced in that state. A long address was also drawn up and published,from which I have only room to publish the following extract.

" They have also the farther, and greater encouragement, that Mr. Adams has the best prospect to succeed in an election by the electoral colleges. One hundred Sz thirty-one votes are necessary to a choice. We arc of the firm belief that Mr. Adams will get every vote east of Pennsylvania, being 95; 3 from the state of Delaware ; 9 from the state of Maryland, and 11 from South Carolina, which if superadded by the 16 votes of the state of Ohio, will prevent the much dreaded election by Congress' 4 Therefore Resolved, that the unblemished integrity, the devoted patriotism, the pre-eminent talents, both natural and acquired; the tried prudence and wisdom, and the long and faithful services of John Quiney Adams, eminently qualify him to become the Chief Magistrate oi these U. States."

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. 1 tie following extract of a letter from fohn Quincy Adams, esq. to a gentleman in Maryland, will show what Mr. Adams's

present opinions are with regard to a general system of internal improvement, and will, it is presumed, be a complete answer to the question put by a voter to col. David Schneblv, in the Hagerstown Torch Light ofthe 8th ult.- Mies. Extract of a letter from John Quincey Adams to a ? ntlrni n in this eount , ilat'H June, 1824 "On the 22d Febuary, 1807,1 otTcred to the senate of the United States, of which 1 was then a member, the first resolution, as I bclievcthat ever was presented to the congress,contemplating a general system of internal improvement. 1 thought that congress possessed the power of appropri

ating money to such improvement and of

authorising the works necessary for making it; subject always to the territorial rights of the several states in or through which th improvement is to be made, to be secured by the consent of their legislatures, and to propriatory rights of individual--, to be purchased or indemnified. I still hold the same opinions, and although highly respecting the purity of intention of those who object, on constitutional grounds, to the exercise of this power, it is with heart felt satisfaction that I perceive those objections gradually yielding to the paramount influence of the general zve if arc : already have appropriations of money to great objects of internal improvement been freely made; and I hope we shall both live to see the day, when the only question of our statesmen and patriots, concerning the authority of congress to improve by public works essentially bcncficient, and beyond the means of less than national re

sources, the condition of our common country, will be, how it could ever have been doubted?"

Curiosity in Canada. Near the top of the mountain, under the lirtt dill" of rocks about a mile and a half from the road leading to Niagara, is situated a large cave, within which about a rod from its mouth, is a spring which Hows the whole year. About the end of March, the water issuing from the rocks freezes, forming large peices of ice, during the heat of summer, the ice continues to form; in the fall of the year about the end of September, as the weather gets cooler, the ice disappears, and there is no ice formed during the cold winter months, until the ensuing spring. The water is quite pure issuing out of the rock. 1 1 Mies. 1
