believe that in plating themselve*, or allowing their friends Jo pi see them, in the situation in which they now stand. they have rendered tueir public character a fair subject of investigation, and made it the duty of those possessing any information on Ui§ subject, to impart it to the public, that a proper se eclion may be made from amongst theui our own opinions of the matter we will give, in as few words as may be consistent with the importance of the subject

Beginning with Joan Jidams, and without questioning talents, or blaming any part of his conduct as Secret** ry of State we may be allowed to say, that his claims to the support of the democratic p.trty are very equivocal indeed, it is known that at one time, he was at the head of the aristocratic party, whicii had for itsobject the establish nient ot a form ot government very ditterent Iroin that under which we have the happiness to iive, and although he is now most pertinaciously sUled a democrat by his lriend, the arguments b^ which they attempt to prove a change of politics in Mr. Adams, are aitogether on^Ushtctoiy, and c.«n amount to noth ing more than n|pearances. must be excused in declining to receive him as a democrat, on ihe strength of appearances, of vhich it is uncertain hethcr he has even a wish to avail him since he lias never asserted claims to democracy on any grounds, this evidence ol his possessing a greater share of modesty, than that of which his Iriends can boast, entitles him to sonic degree of admiration.

As to t«en JacAvjn, we admire him for his gallantry, promptness in decid•uo» vigor action, and all those high cudo»iuent whica make the great military commander. We would wish to

Having observed that we cannot give our suffrage- to either of tne other candidates is buret)' necessary to say. that ME.YR I CLnfi iHissesses alt tiiose high endowments ot which uie others can boast collectively, without tuat degree of censure which wjustly attaches itself to some of them—-Aus principles are and always have beeu purely deuiocratic—native pmpi uity oi Utoughi, cogency ot reasoning, aud iudetatigabie
