least it affords considerable amusement to the lookers-on.

It is no uncommon thing to see in a Clay paper a declaration that Mr. Adams' popularity is declining, and that he has no chance in this state, ice. whilst in the same paper they revile and abuse him and his supporters, in the most unjustifiable manner. Is this any evidence of the bad prospect of success of the Adams ticket in this state? The fact is, Mr. Adams is the most popular candidate in this state. The Clay editors know it, and therefore every effort h made for the purpose of affecting it. But It wont do. While the Chy and Jackson parties are alternately vacillating from one candidate to the other, the friends of Mr. Adams have remained firm and stedfast.

PiiF.siDr.NTi al. -Bv the last Mail I re

ceived u supplement of the Baltimore Patriot, containing the. proceedings and address of a meeting of the citizens of Westmoreland county I'irginic. John Quir.cy Adams was unanimously recommened, as

a candidate for the Presidential Chair. The address is a mild and dignified document, and coes into a review of the history of parties since the formation of our government. It is an unanswerable appeal to the candor and good sense of the American people: its great length precludes i3 publication in a weekly paper, but if circumstances admit, I will hereafter give some extracts from it.

At a large and respectable meeting of the citizv-ns of Somerset county, in pursuance of public notice, the i' Hon ing reiolutiorii were unanimously ad:pted: RdS'JzcJ, That this meeting in considervioaof'the distinguished conduct of John

appears to be a disposition in a majority c ; the members to retain the appointment of electors in their own hands. The folbwI extracts will give some insight into t j manaevers of the faction who are depriv? j the people of their rights.

From the Baltimore ratnot. We publish to-day the message of Governor of New York, giving his reas

' and solid ones they are too, for calling Legislature together at the present t i While the resolution for an immediate jourment without coming to the questi was under discussion, Mr. Crary of Wa

plain, honest, old tarmer, said : I nere i not twenty members of this House, ; were elected under a pledge, direct or direct, to give the people the choict ! Presidential electors, and he asked, v
