have occupied so much of the present session of congress; I allude to the Tariff a id Internal Improvement bills From the character you each bear, it is to be inferred that, you could not have been so inconsiderate as to inlist yourselves under the banners ofMr. Adams; nay more, to suffer your names to be published to the people nf this state as the chiefs of his party, until you had coolly and" dispassionately examined into his political opinions; until you had convinced yourselves, and that too "beyond the possibility of a doubt," that Mr. Adams was, in sentiment and in practice, a Democratic Republican To give you an opportunity of exhibiting to the nubile, the reasons which 'induce you to believe thus, is the sole object I have in addressing you I have ever admired his talents, though at the same time candour compels me to say that, I have never been able to alight upon a single fact, or circumstance, which would tend to mitigate, in the smallest degree, the objections, which, as a repub lirau, I cannot avoid urging against his jlevation to the presidency In order that your attention may be urned direct to the points that I wish to see elucidated, I beg leave, most respect fully to propound to you the following queries. 1st Do you not know that at one period of his life, Mr. Adams was considered to be one of the most zealous and distinguished leaders of the federal party; and tuat until near the close of Mr Jefferson's second term of office, he continued to exert Ids powerful talents in support of federal men and federal measures; and essayed, by every art in his power, to prostrate the Democratic paty? 2nd. Can you p oduce fionitivi and unequivocal testimony to prove that, a thorough and radical change has, M.ice that period, taken place in his political opinions? 3d. Can you prove by anv thing he has ever sanl wn'frrn, cr printed, mat he is norj a firm and sincere believer in the truth of those political doctrines, inculcated by the g'eat J fferson, or, in other woals, that he is jioiv in sentiment and inpiactice a Dfnocra'ic Republican? 4th T) i V'u know whether Mr. Ad0 am bt'Iie es that, the constitution of the United State, empowers congress toex-

! pend the public money upon internal im-

5:h. Dies Mr dams believe that, the situation of ti e Union, imperiously demands that, congi ess should afford protection to domestic industry, by increasing the present tariff; and, if elected president, will use his utmost endeavours to iff.ctthis measure? If gentlemen vou can satisfactorily answer the above questions, you will be doing much, towards removing 'the objections which many now nrge against Mr. Ad tins If, on the contrary, you arc unable to do so. you cannot you ought not, for a moment, to c tlculatc upon obtaining the suffrages of the free men of Indiana. CURTIUS .

tk Every vesse1 which has come to England from Mexico, for the last four months, brought pressing invitations to Gen Ituibide to icturn to that country, which, since his abdication, has bejen distracted by different factions, contending about the species of government that oiiijhtto be established there. The pro vinccswerc all divided in their opinions, but in all cf them the name of Ituibide has been invoked as the only individual capable of reconciling them. It is well known that Mexico owes her declaration of independence to Iturbide's valor, pru dence and patriotism; hence, the safety ot the count rv is identify d with his name. In abdicating the crown of Mexico, he .vas actuated solely by a desire to avoid a civil war; he now retunis to Mexico as a soldier, not only for the purpose of putting an end to the divisions which vex it, but also for the purpose of securing i's independence, which is menaced equally by intestine dUcord, and by the resolutions of the Holy Alliance. We are confidently assurcvl that Ituibide resisted every solicitation which was made to him, until he became fully informed of the determined views of the Holy Ai'iancc in assisting Ferdinand, by intrigue and by

secret supplies of money, to attempt toe subjugation of the whole of South Ameiica. Under those ciicmnstanccs he i'clt it a sacred duty to return; he h is gone, not with any views of personal aggrandizement, but as a soldier, to maintain the independence which hi own efforts and talents gave to this country," Acf Intel. Lrtter nf Yiurh'ds. My Dear Sir It is piobablcthat a soon as my departure is known, diff. rent opinions may be expressed, and that some of them may be falsely coloured. I -Aish, therefore that you should know the uuth in an authentick manner. By a misfo'tunr, that is much to be deplored, the principal provinces of Mexico are at this moment disunited; all tho3e ol Guatemala, N Galacia, Ojaca, Yacatecas Quereiro and others, sufficiently attest this Tact Such a state of things exposes the independence of the country to extreme peril. Should she lose it, she must live for ages to come in frightful slavery. My return has been solicited by different parts of the country, which consider mc necessary to the establishment of unanimity there, and to the consolodation of the government, I do not prcMitne to form such an opinion of myself, but as I am assuredthat it is io m j o ver to con tribute in agreat decree .'.lValgama tion of the separate iMcr. sis -.-i the provinces, and to tranquihse inp.ut those angry passions, which are sure? to lead to the most disasterous anarchy. I go with such an object before me. unir.tlucnced by any other ambition than the glory of affecting the happiness of my countiymen and of discharging those obligations which I owe to the land of my birth

oblicr tions which havcreceived additional

.f sure cure for the Hilious cr Cranf: ' dence. When I abdicated the crown of

Mexico, I did si with pleasure, and my sentiments remain unchanged If I succeed in realizing my plan to the extent which I desire, Mexico will soon present a government consolod.ied, anda people actim; upon one opinion, and co operating in the same object. 'Pity will all recognise those burthens wldh, if tlu present government continued, would fall only upon a few, and the mining and
