"SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1824. "otu-itlistamling allthe noisy boasting cf partisan papers, Mr. Adams appears to ,Ce5 in an eminent degree, the confi-

lonce of the American peole. Every mail

r.M-ii-hcs additional evidence of this fact.

The forgery of Russell, the impious treachery of Cunningham, the proclamations of S-m the, or the impotent ravines of Pickcrj;vTlKive not been aMe to shake it. It is rn evidence of the govd sense and virtue of the people; it is the triumph of integrity, of talents, and of republican virtue. ""While the friend? of the other candidates have spent their strength before the hour of trial. Mr. Adams' supporters have reserved tlieirV until the proper time. They ro now coming forth in conscious strength, ar.d will si-ce-F.ni. It has been boldly asserted that General Jackson or Mr. Clay would obtain the votes ct'u-Jrrcv: but it i not the fact, as well illicit it be said they will obtain the votes of Maine. The votes of all the Ahc Eng-Ian-! states will be given to Mr. Adams, as vvil! those of- z;--Jersey and Y :v- York. A nvdoritv of the members of the legislature of the latter state are friendly to him, and whether they retain the power of oppointir.: electors in their ow n hands, or give it to ihe people, the result will he the same. Tiic public meeting lately held in N. Jersev are sufficient e idei.ee of his strength in that state. In .Maryland the electoral ticket ia his favor is full, while that for Jackson ar.d Crawford are not yet compktf.T.d in hutor.e of the eleven districts, h:ie candidates etHied in faor of Mr. (.lav. In ' :.-, the Adams electoral ticket is fall. a:,d there is every reason to hope that he ill receive the votes of that i;reat state.

We arc- indebted to the politeness oi M. T. Williams, Esq. for the following information of the progress of the party in surveying a route for a Canal on the western line, in a letter addressed to the Editor, in answer to a request for information of their progress. Dayton Watchman. The length of the located line from the summit to Dayton, is 78 miles, 10 chains. The feeder continued from the upper level to Mad-river, near Rector's mill, a-

" Although both the papers in this place are devoted to the cause oi Mr. Clay or in other words to CJ;ey and Crawford, which" are considered synonymous, jet it is Lelievid Mr. Adams will receive in this county, a very respectable vote.

From the National Intcllieencrr, July 21. Internal Improvement. The informa-

of Balti-

engagement of the

Board of ( omnussioners, in surveying the route of the projected Chesapeake foOhio canal, brings directly home to us the advantages w hich may be expected from the disposition which Congress has lately shewn to employ a portion of the money collect

ed from the People, in the prosecution of

i such objects of Internal Improvement, as are national in their scope and character. Few, probablv, even of the most observing

t of our readers, are aware of the extent of

! legislation of Congn ss, on this object, at their last Session. The amount directly

'appropriated by the several acts for this;

purpose, was a hundred and sixty thr e . thousand dollars a considerable sum for a beginning, particularly w hen we recollect that it is almost all of it for xperiiih tits, and for surveys in the liatureofcxperiments, looking to more extensive operations. ; Perhaps the reader would be pleased to see the substance of those afts colint d and presented to then) at one view. The following brief synopsis of them presents that view, beginning with the first in importance as to the principle involved in it: An act athorising the President to cause

The same act authorises the survey of routes for roads from Cape Sable to the Suwaney river, and from Cape Florida to St. Augustine. Sum appropriated, 3,000. These acts were severally reported by the Committee on Roads and Canals, of w hich Mr. Hemphill is Chairman, to whose

! persevering attention and very respectahie personal character they are not a little ! indebted for their success. Resides the above appropriations of money, it will be remarked, the President is authorized to j employ Corps of Topographical Engineers of the U.

Small Pox. We understand that the Small Pox has appeared in the Cherokee Nation, where it is spreading w ith serious mortality. Five Indians of the Nation, on their return from Philadelphia, found their company attacked with this alarming disease on their journey four of them died and one unfortunately was attacked after he eat home, and was the occasion of spreadingthe disease in the neighborhood. Sixteen persons, we are told, have already died with it, and in almost every cast; it proves mortal. An express was sent to this place a day or two ago, for the purpose of procuring some of the vaccine matter, which it was hoped might be the instrument of arresting the course of the more malignant and fatal disorder.
