in principle and in practice opposed to

slavery. Those, however, who get up a paper expressly to recommend them j selves to a candidate, must praise him ; and in the absence cf real must rely upon fictious merit. Hence the riteration by the Adams committee, who made the ' National Crisis, of the declaration that j Mr Adams is not a slavery man, and j

therefore should be elected President. Now then we lecollect how much better these United States were governed under the rtign of that gentleman's father, a New England man, who had dominion over us in the "good old alien and sedition times" of 1798, than they were under the Republican administration of Washington, Jefferson, Madison 3and Monroe, who were natives of slave states, we must all admit that it would be a prtty the royaly family should ever becorrte extinct; or that the good of the United States should ever think of any thing but the question of slavery, when about to chosse an officer, whose official duties have no connexion with that practice. It may be well to enquire, however, whether, the persons who might vote for

Mr Adams in the belief that heisoppo sed to slavery would not be in a delusion. That they would I have no doubt, and, rest my conclusion on the following facts, which, in the form of a "solemn afifieal to the fieofile of Ohio" I beg leave to urge upon their attention. 1st. Mr. Adams has made no declaration of his sentiments on slavery. 2d. His being born in Massachusetts cannot p ove him opposed to slaverv. for at the time of the adoption of the Federal Constitution, that state and several others of the cast united with Georgia and the Carolinas in extending the time, before which congress should not abolish the slave trade to 1803. VirgiiTa,.the

native state of Mr. Clay, was in favofrof

i an immediate prohibition, but Massa-

45 cts. chusetts, the native state of. Mr. Adams,

1 1 ; for the sake of the. carrying trade7Mtu rV

885 : with the South to keep up the importa

tion ol human Mesh 20 years longer and actually succeeded 3d. When the question of prohibiting

the introduction of slaves into Louisiana,

812 a 13 before the year ! 808, was debated in con

8 a 9 grcss and for the honor of the nation, set

6 a 7 tied in the affirmative, Mr Adams was

S-50 a 3 one of the minority of four, vho voted

150 a 2 in the negative and would have been wil

81 , ling to perpetuate the detestable prac

tice of which it is pretended he is the en-

em v. 4th. Mr. Adams has voluntarily resi

ded for 7 years in a slave state, and at

this moment is a slave holder.

Now I call upon the partisans of that

gentleman to show the proofs of his op position to slavery. Cer'amlv if the neo

a -ij us i p e ol the state ot Ohio are redtureu to

S a 2 25 ; sunnort a man who is onnosrd to hk svs-

tern ot policy on which their prosperity

must be rested and elected, for thcake

of having a President more opposed to

slavery than Mr. Clay, the determined practiclc friend in gradual emancipation,

It becomes them to enquire whether

Mr. dams is the person Hut if anv of

my fellow citizens should think proper to

interrogate that gentleman, they must do it with much good manners, for in the language of one of the orators of a late Federal town meeting, Mr damsisnot n man to be qu stioned by common people concerning his political sentiments. SEVENTY-SIX.

FROM THE NEW YORK PTR10T. Mr Clav's Speech on the Tariff. fter the universal admiration which has been expressed of mis most spfert did ee-tion of the talents and eloquence of the Hon. Stkakfr, there can need no amvdogy for introducing it more particuhrh othe notice of our readers. We are content, as friends of the course it recommends, to take it for the text book of the advocates of the "American policy ' How people of good sense and rcflcc t on can compare mr Webster's speech with this, is what we must consider a special wonder, unless we attribute it to prejudice or interested feelings. Both

( speeches certainly abound in talent, in

research, in profound and ingenious deduction. But Mr. Webster handles his facts and arguments like a meie lawyer. There is special pleading in his whole treatise, (for speech it hardly deserves to be called.) He talks too much like the retained counsel of the Boston merchants. , His speech smacks too confoundedly of certain long, dogmatical reviews in the i-Xorth American " It is a strange mixture of legal subtlety sti uggling with the more liberal, statesmanlike vein of his mind. On the other hand, Mr. Clay forgets both the lawyer and the orator You see only the statesman, of enlarged views, of brad and liberal principles, "looking beforeand alter." He is eloquent in spite of his subject and in spife of the close and severe examination of the subject which is seep in every sentence, lie is eloquent because his clear and enlatged views of

our national policy appeal to his patriot

ism and independence for all his ener

gies. He presses the views of a consum

mate statesman with the lire and energy of the most accomplished orator of modern times. There is nothing feeble, noth

ing cold, in any part; but in some parts

his subject and the interest which it in

volves to the countiy seem to carry him beyond himself; "He thinks as a sage but speaks as man." v

FROM THE NEW-TORE. rATlUOTK I

J Q ADAMS vs. NATIONAL VIN-'

DUS TRY. yWe have all along feared Mr. Adams

would be found in the ranks against' the

true interests of the nation "The mer- .

ican," Mr. Adams paper published in !

New York, not withstanding the sacri-

fice of many subscriptions, has manifes- i

ted great hostility to the manufacturing

policy. And Mr. King of the senate, has raised his arm agabist the great inter

ests of the woolI ?n manufacturers That

useful branch of domestic industry, the success of which is intimately connected i with the prospet ity of this state, and in i deed of all the Northern Middle and) Western wool-growing states a branch j of industry that is now languishing for ; want of protection; so much so, that even those generally who oppose other parts of the Fai iff acknowledge it requires immediate and efficient relief could not escape his hostility. One would suppose the wishes of three ; fourths of his constituents the almost unanimous recommendation ol'the legisMature of the state he represents -would have stayed his hand from indicting this blow. It is in vain lor him to say the1 protection is sufficient: the tarifi will show that it is not one thild what is iffor- , ded to coarse cotton at the same time i that the process of manufacture is com- ; paratively slower the ci edits generally ! given much longer than on cottons. and j tequiring greater capital, and if conf.se greater protection Let the friends

National Industry look well before Jtll too late The following extract yill show that "he hand of Napoleon' is in this. John Q Adims it is to be feared, is the enemy of National Industry. To be feared did we say sec and read for your selves. There are wolves in sheep's clothing clad in the exterior with American garments, but with foreign hearts, loyal to other countries and pro fidious to their own. The late votes in the senate cannot be mistaken. Head, from a Virginia paper zealous in the support of Mr. Adams: "It is with satisfaction that we can assure the people of Virginia that John C. Adams is opposed to this ruinous policy

Wc have the best evidence of the fact but it is c.ofTicicTit refer to the vote oT the M -- -r'-Metts delegation to corroborate i X !e her whole number of repress, vt . . d both her senators voted agaiv.t it in ;.vF.ny FORM." Can any tiling be more explicit? Wc would call loudlv on all the friends of national industry to guard against the consequences of such a choice before it is too late before you arc stung to the heart, and vmir hopes are blasted Trust no man unless he is proud of hk country and her prosperity exclusive of all others and who dares to avow openly his attachment to a policy which if adopted cannot fail to lead to glory and independence.

The cs.abiismi" , f martial law was hailed with joy by u.! . ne civil functionaries of the country, an J : -r the first time a hope of protection and safety was indulged. The defence of this country had been neglected by the government. When Jackson arrived on the sea board of the South, he found it weak almost defenceless; without men, without arms, and without ammunition. With an army of less than I 500 men, scattered on a frontier of more than 500 miles; with a numerous savage foe in his rear, and a veteran army of Europeans in his fiont, Jackson, with a zeal

and energy which the fiicnds of his country will ever appreciate, appealed to the valor and patriotism of Tennessee, and the appeal was not made in vain. Twelve hundred mounted Riflemen repaired immediately to his relief: with these and a few ther followers he dislodged the enemy and his savage allies from Pensacola, and fought and won the ever memorable battle of the 23d of December. If then, as I believe, Jackson was justifiable in tire establishment of a martial law ! If by this means he was enabled to give to beauty the protection it demands from valor, and to wealth the security which is. guaranteed hv the cons' itution! If by an apneal to this measure he was enabled to save his country from impending ruin, when all other nuist have proved hopeless am! unavailing I doubt not I shrill also be enabled to convince every unprejudiced mind of the necessity of its ontinuancc after the ba'tle of the Uth ol J n-
