But the temper of the Richmond meeting, their ) Attention to the progress of events, the pluses of character, and all the circumstances belonging to the problem involved in the comparkon of gen. Jackson and Mr. Adams, and in the designation cf the latter for president, is best explained by their own declaration, viz : that thev 44 now think cf gen. Jackson as they always did." It is very well known that about the time Algernon Sklney drew his impatient pen ct in ccic- ' res iamhns inisif. furcnicm, against the heio of New Orleans, the latter was regarded by many persons in Virginia with much such sentiments, as during the h.-at cf the Revolution prevailed in Kngland, towards gen Washington. They belicved the execution of Arbuthnot and Amhrister a to be, in the language of Mr. Clav, (who was then attacking Mr. Monroe through the reputation of gen. Jackson, for appointing Mr. Adams secretary of state in preference to himself,) murder. That the pursuit of the S :mmole in i ns to their places of refuge and recruit in Florida, was lawless and unauthorized and that general Jackson's character was ferocious his propen-

sittes vicious uamts promgate, anu conanct out Tageous. Whereas, now that time ii is cat its impartial light upon the matter, it is univcrs div known that the execution of Arbuthnot and Amblister was in strict conformity with the laws of tA nations, and usages of war ; was perfectly justifiable upon the principle of a prudent retaliation;

and was a measure of justice, far less opposed to i

v mercv than the execution ot the unfortunate Andre. That the invasion of Florida was no violation of the neutrality of Spain t being nccessa-

violated ; audit beiag both mMc-ians and attested, that the sovereignty of that province was, like the embraces of a harlot, " open to all comers," and particularly prostituted to oar enemy. That this prudent and . iTecd' e measure corres1 1 .1 I 1 ... !. ... I' .

j thought of "just as he always was" by the Rich

mond meeting ! It is impossible to conceive that this noble act of gen. Jackson was unknown to the gentlemen. Nor are they bound to dissent from the general admiration of it, in order to arrive at a perfect faith in the purity of the coalition. The most favorable account than can be given of.their endeavor to undervalue or discredit it, is to impute it to a feeling like that cf the Athenian citizen, w ho voted for the punishment of Aristides, because he could not bear to hear him called the Just. Rut men who show no mercy to facts, can do little justice to character. In approaching the subject cf Mr. Adams' merits, thev found their zeal in his faor upon sympathy, excited by the strong and general opposi tioo which his election, and his measures have provoked a sentiment for which they justly claim the credit of generosity, it being evident that zcial for the re-election of Mr. Adams, cannot proceed from a noble love of liberty, a prudent regard to the interests of the country, or a proper respect for its institutions. They thus sum up their articles of faith in the Divine right of John the Cd 44 He is pure and upright in intention ; patriotic, however occasionally mistaken ; prudent and indefatigable in the discharge of his public duties ; blameless and irreproachable in private life " That honest and sagacious traveller, Lemuel Gulliver, declared that the shade of Homer va introduced to the shades of his commentators in his presence, and that the parties appeared totally unacquainted before. Should the shade of Lemuel eer i-it our countrv, know- Mr. Adams, and read this char

acter of him, he would swear he was a stranger to his best friends. They have drawn the character of M adiscn. and given it to the public, for that cf Adams. Was Air Adams pure and upright in bribing Mr. Clav to elect him ? In betraving the federal partv with falsehoods to Mr. Jefferson, nnd reclaiming it by promises to Mr. Webster In charging a double salary, and for a constructive journey, while minister, and paying that dishonest charge to himself while secretary of state ? Was he patriotic when writing his letter to Levitt Hanis, undervaluing the resources, and ridiculimr the spirit of his countrv, when that ccuutrv was involved in the casualties of a

presentatives to proceed in promoting the general w elfare, and in executing schemes cf internal impro ement in building Light Houses of the Sky," and watching the radiance and revolutions of the planets without being 44 palsied by th'j will cf their constituents."
