WEDNESDAY, November 14* 18-o.

THC CO.TinU C/VJIPAION. The principles advocated by the American party nre such, as trill at first blush, favorably strike the unprejudiced mind. When a doctrine in right, all that is required to secure it friends, is that it be fully understood. The unerring judgment of-the honest man, always indicates to him the proper course to pursue. Righland wrong ore the opposites, and although error mav, for a time, succeed its success is but moinentary light will break in upon the understanding and truth be triumphant.

In the coming political canvass, there will necessarily be many issues before the people. The Old Liners, with their

great

desire

to adopt every measure which, for the time, tickles the public mind, will catch at every bauble that the current of events bring up to the surface, and no difference haw inconsistent, they will advocate any measure calculated to gain votes.

When they fear tW success of Slate issues,

We should, in our State elections, confine ourselves to Stnto issues. The affairs of the State, having been for some few years, in the hands of

the

opposition, have become so dis

arranged a.» out of joint in every particular, that its jarring discord is visible to the most careless beholder.

1 1

Their

constitutional clause, in relation to

citizenship, looms up as the master iniquity their refusing to go into the election of Ij. S. Senator and thereby depriving this State of any representation in the Senate, this most important session—their bitter and unrelenting opposition to a prohibitory liquor law, and their corruptions in general, demand a strict looking into. Thcro is nothing the democratic party fear so much, as an examination into the laws, and condition of the State, while undor their management. The leaders, like conscious guilt, wish to divert every approach made to this examination, and by an uncommon effort, lead their opponents after them, in tho discussion of National politics.'

Tin- .'wxlraiiciiurt Umh-a—theseoutsideqncs-ii.i.M—iliusu foreign principles, that are continually lugged into a campaign, are what, somotimcs, give tho enemy the advantage.

Let tho coming canvass be fought on State nnfi viMnrv will nerch on the American banuer. Wo havo nothing to fear iu the discussion of questions peculiar to the general government, but when wo are to el- ct officers to govern our State, let thera lay down their platforms—take up plauk after plank and explain it to the peoplo. Let each, from the Governor down, define their position upon tho naturalization law, and let them say positively, and without equivocation, if they are in favor of amending the Constitution in this respect. Tho Old Lino party, as soon as they find that tho citizens of this State, are determined that foreigners shall be citizens of the United States beforo they are allowed to vote, will immediately Btoal the American's fire, and boldly assert that such is the doctrines their fathers always advocated, and is pure, genuine,tinadulted Jeffersonian democracy.—

Hut with tho constitutional clause staring them in the face, the perfidy of such a course will become too apparent, and the honest man will place his fiuger of disapprobation upon them.

Perhaps no fitate has ever bedn so perfectly controlled by a set of corrupt political tricksters—men who make demagouguism their t*ade—as has this State, for tho last few years. Merit was not regarded .competency is thrown to the wind, political integrity is laughed at, and true patriotism is deemed but the ephemera of an over excited brain. One year ago a selfish and dishonest hand was laid upon the finances, and the public good withered at its touch. Mismanagement and corruption floodour State with a paper circulation, and tho honest man at home was swindled out of the reward of his labor, aud the advantages lined the pockets of a democratic functionary.— Depression was every where, and bankruptcy

looked our business men full in the face. The restoration of the Missouri compromise line—the admission of Kansas as a State, jitul all of those great questions, arising out of human servitude are meet subjects for the consideration of the aspirants for Congressional favors,and the electors on the IVesideniial ticket, hut tho principles of our own State policy are tht questions which should .command the attention of those who seek to fill our offices at

A few days ago, it was announced that a large fleet had been ordered by Great Britain to the North American coast, and also, that a "thundering" article on American affairs, appeared in the London Times, in which it is usserted that 'the English government is omitting uo opportunity of re-enforcing the West India squadron, and thus interposing a powerful barrier between Britania and the North American Continent."

These circumstances look a little ominous, and if England has not got her hands full in the East, she will soon find a suflicientamount work, if she concludes to "pitch into" all Yankcedom. She will then find living aud moving Redans all over the country, and Malakoffs springing up before her, at every step.

Tho fact is, England has to raako a bold striae, ui uui part. Her policy is becoming so complicated and massive, that its own weight endangers it —her relations with some of the most powerful governments of the Old World, arc any thing but friendly—her aristocracy clings to the body politic, as the tender vine clings to tho decayed oak—her working classes are oppressed by a heavy taxation—her poor are starving, and her colloctive masses arc disgusted with the government, aqd complainina _bit.tftrly.af the management of the Russian war.

Under all theso peculiar circumstances, it behooves Great Britain to divert the attention of her people, and we should not be surprised, if sho would single out Brother Jonathan as as the only ''foemau worthy of her steel."— There may be a diversity of feeling, of sentiment and of opinion among tho American people on many important questions, but upon the subject of war with England, they area unit—all sectional animosities would then be Iain aside, and the throbbings of the AngloAmerican heart, beat in unison.

The announcement by the President of the Young Men's Library Association, on Thursday evening, that Mr. Bkxjamix would tonight read his poem ou "True Independence," (being the third lecture in course) will of itself be sufficient to secure the attendance of all who were there on the previous evening and those who were not fortunate enough to hear him on "Americanism," will to-night have an opportunity of enjoying a deligliful entertainment, such as rarely offers. A gentleman of fine literary taste, who heard this poem read at Dartmouth College, a few months ago, corumonds in most enthusiastic terms the ftuccesss of its delivery there, and mentions as a positive fact, that tlie frequent and sudden separation of insecure neat button* and tuspendtrt, was like mimic cannonade from an army of sod* water bottles.

If, then, an opportionmont of the State oan bo made only by the present members elect, what is the duty of the Governor, who alone has the power to call together the Legislature? It is not to be regarded simply "will he do it but is it the wish of the people that it shall be done It is not a question to bo settled by saying, "it ought to be done, but the Governor won't." But it is a question whose importance demands of the Chttf Executive that he, in proper time, issue his proclamation, aud save the State from anarchy and confusion.

It may wot, it is true, be altogether agreeable to the political aspiration of some men that, the same Legislature should meet again, hut under the circumstances, has Governor Wright any right to say, he will not order an extra session? We think not. If the commonwealth demands it, it is his imperative duty to obey. The resolving of the political condition of this State, back into its original elements, certainly cannot depend on the will of one man—no tyrant ever possessed a greater power.

There might, however, be some good grow out of a refusal to call an extra session— if no other Legislature could be convened after the specified time expires, then the sovereign people in their sovereign capacity could meet to gether and organize anew government, thereby ridding themselves of a Constitution, some wliifh. have in their operations, proven to bo radically wrong.

This is certainly a fine directory, and our friend Beach will, we have no doubt, do tho duties of Cashier, with facility aul prompt noss.

This proceeding will, we «loubt not, call forth from a large portion of the American press that species of mildand temperate comment in which they delight" whenever the conduct of England is in question, and a political capital is to be manufactured by making her the object of inveetive and depreciation.

It we can prevent these expeditions from sailing, or intercept them noidoceap, we shall have done much towards averting the dangers that must arise, should they be carried out to their national development. The course of action we have adopted is bold, but for that very reason we believe it to be prudent and safe.

We are fully aware of the advantage that such a proceeding gives to those ever active emissaries of discord ho are incessantly employed jo every State of the Union in stirring up the feelings of the populace ag^jpst this country. Tbat which is a mere measure of self-defence against lawless force, they will represent as an insult offered to the lawful government of the country they will declaim, they will exaggerate, but we must not omit to prepare against real dangers because our preparations may be honest'y understood, or designedly misrepresented. England has every wish and every interest to remain at peace with America.

CO^l^TSHIPof THEE^DEK ADAMS Some ten years since, speqt a pal lege vacation in tl\e town of Weymouth, Norfolk county, Mass. While there, I at-j tended church on Sunday morning, at what was called the Old Weymouth meet-ing-house, and heard a sermon from the venerable pastor, Her. Jacob Norton. Aboul the same time, I ma^e 14r. ^orton a visit, and became much interested In the old geutlenlan. I mentioned my agreeable visjt to an old iady of tlie parish, whose acquaintance I had made. She informed me that Mr. Norton was ordained their pastor, when he was about twenty-one years of age, and that he had been with them nearly forty years. She observed that most of his present parishioners could remember no other pastor but that she could vfell fenietqber his predecessor, the liev. Mr. Smith, and that ba and Mr. Norton had filled the same pulpit for tho better part of the last eighty years. "Mr. Smith," said she, "was an excellent man, and a very fine preacher, t$ut he had high notions of himself and family— in other words, he was something of an aristocrat."

One day, she told me the following anoedptp of P-arson Smith, and several qtl^er persons of distinction.

Mr. Smith had two charming daughters. Mary was the name of the oldest, the other's name I have forgotten. They were admired by the beaux, and envied by the belles of the country around. But while the careful guardians of the parson's family were holding consultation on the subject, it was rumored that twq young lawyers—I think l}qth of the neighboring town of Quincy—a Mr. Cranch and a Mr.

Adams—*1were paying their addresses to

the Misses Smith. As every tn, woman

and child, of a country parish in Jfew England, is acquainted yitb whatever ocenrs in the parson's family, all the cir-cun-jstnqc.es qf the courtship soon transjiired.

I^r. Oranch was qP a respectable family of some note, was considered a young man of promise, and altogether worthy ol the alliance he sought. lie was very acceptible to Mr. Smith, and was greeted by himself and his family, with great respect ami cprdialitv. He was received by the eldest daughter as a lover, and w»s 'Q

chusetts, and was the father of the present Judge Cranch, of the District of Columbia.

The suitor of the other daughter, was tfohn Adams, who afterward became President of the United States. But at that lime, iu the "opinion of Mr. Smith aud family, he gaye but slender promise of the distjnptioi] tq which lie aftervmpd arrived His pretentions were scorned by all family, excepting the young lady to his addresses were especially dii Mr. Smith showed him none of the ordinary civilties of his house he was not asked to partake of the hospitalities of the table, and It is reported that his horse was doomed to share with )iis mastpr, the neglect nn(} iriortification to which he was subject, for he w^s frequently seen shivering in the cold, and gnawing the pqst at the parson's door of long winter evenings. In short, it was reported that the parson had intimated to him that his visits were unacceptable, and that ho would cqnfer a favor by discontinuing tbeip.

tyiss Smith was among the most dutiful of daughters, but she 'saw Mr. Adams thrqugh a medium very different from that in which her father viewed him.
