FROM rtTTS BURGH MERCURY.

Mr. .IJjxis and the Massachusr'Js Federal I Anders. A long and interesting correspondence between Mr. Adams and several citizens of Massachusetts, of the federal party, has been published ii pamphlet form, and transferred into the columns of most of the daily papers. The great :ength of these documents, precludes an insertion d'them in our columns, however desirous we night be of giving them publicity. The articles ire written with great talent on both sides. It a quarrel between Mr. A. and his eastern t iends, in which we feel no disposition to interfere ; bat if we mav be permitted to express an .pinion, would say, that Mr. Adam defends himelf with great ability ; and that his opponents, : their appeal to "the citizens of the United .-Stales, although they may have succeeded in making the best defence which the nature of the ;as? admitted of, have failed in removing the

'ainst " certain federal leaders,"

with the known history of those turbulent times, subject them to. The contents of the pamphlet are, a statement made in the National InU lligenccr of the 21st of October, by Mr. Adams, charging certain leaders" of the federal party in 1.S08 with a design to effect a separation of the Union a letter dated the 20th of November from several distinphUIhmI federalists calling: on Mr. Adams to de

signate the persons whom he so charged, and ! O . - 1 . i . I ...... C 1 1

the evidence upon wlucn me cnargc was lounucd Mr. Adams' reply to this letter, declining to comply with their request, and assigning his reasonsand finally an appeal to the citizens of the United States by those gentlemen justificatory of themselves, and the party to which they are attached. Whilst Mr. Adams acquits the gentlemen of anv participation in the plot, and reiterates the accusation as it respects certain " leaders," he declines giving them the navies of those leaders and the proofs to substantiate the charge, on the following grounds: That, however, he might have recognized the propriety of the gentlemen asking individually whether they were the persons implicated or" net, yet he could not recognize their right collective! j to act as the repre s,entatives of the party, and array themselves as a phalanx, responsible not only each one for hi;ns elf but for all others. That he spoke not of the ftJrral pavtv, but cf the traders. That, at the time, he well knew the party were not prepare.! fer the convulsion to which the measures and dcigr.s of the leaders tended. lie admits that he -o"c: nnt nosses? that kind of evidence which.

would sutM ovt the charge in a cour

fue which he, as well us ethers, might be called

sesses on these points, but he must be left to his own judgment for selecting the proper time. ! The above is but a mere outline of Mr. Adams letter : a letter which is drawn up with gicat abilitv and point. The " Appeal" follows. After a suitable exordium, the addressers complain, that Mr. Adams refuses to give them the proof of the charges, and assert that lie has no evidence that would bear to be submitted to an impatial and intelligent community. They protest against tlte ground taken bV Mr. Adams, that he would be ...... .. . .i

willing to answer wclrvidiial inquiries, Out wouia object to answer them collectively. They contend that the leaders of a party could not, for ten years, be engaged in a plan to which the party 'itself was not cognizant that he could have corrected the crrorbf Mr. Jefferson, without renewing his denunciations against his native statethat the letter of the governor of Nova Scotia is altogether idle and thatthev disavow all k?vow-

admit, that the cession ct .Louisiana, vvas a suoicct of comnlaint. in that quarter of the Uniui A-

that it was regarded a an unconstitutional act ; that even Mr. Jefferson had doubts; but it does not follow that any project was engendered cf the character ailed gcd by Mr. Adams. That the opposition tothednbargo arose from its extreme severity open their foreign trade and fisheries, and it w-.sonno.-cd, net onlv on account of its be

ing universally odious, but because their statesmen, lawvtrs, 'and citizens, considered it unconstitutional and that this disaffection was not confined to the federal party. That from 180" to 1812, a scries of restrictive measures, kept alive irritation and discontent in the publitmind ; and that, tinalty, the war followed, under arcu.nistnnces which aggravated the distress. That in the progress ct the war, Massachusetts vvasVie-

prived of her garrisons, her citizens subject to incessant , alarms, and the state left nearly defenceless. That a part of the country was invaded, and that the militia had to be arrayed, and the expenses borne, at the cost of the state ; because her highest tribunal had decided, that her militia ought not to be surrendered into the hands of a 41 military prefect." That notwithstanding all these discouragements, she. clung to the Union, and defended herself. That in the yjidst of this exasperation, in which their judiciaVfcnirts were on their side, and when an opportunity offered for a dissolution of her connexion with the

Union, it was net adopted. I lie utmost extent to which they went, was to select a peacetul deputation of grave citizens, and legislative councils, to assemble at Hartford. That this convention had a constitutional right to assemble ; that it was expedient they should assemble ; and that they exercised their power in a becoming and patriotic manner. That their object in assembling was to apply to congress to permit the states to provide for their own defence, and be indemnified therefor ; but that no effort vvimtcver w as made by them to destroy the integrity of &w3Union. For the truth of these facts, thosd-di ssers

appeal to the proceedings ot the iegislatucytrrrf? the convention. The Hartford convention adjourned without day, after making their report, and no further measures were ado. led. From all these facts and statements, the addressers in fer, that nothing of the nature charged by '.r. Adams, was ever contemplated or designed, by the leaders of the federal party. They are pointed, and severe, in their animadversions upon Mr. Adams, and accuse him as the author cf ail those prejudices which, exist against that part of the Union, as they can now be traced to his secret, ar.d hitherto unknown aspersions. It is not easy to do justice, in as condens-

I cd a view as this, either to Mr. Adams's let

ter, or the response of the addressers. Wc can only hope that wc have presented a just delineation of the prominent features of these powerful papers. That Mr. Adams will lose the confidence of the federal nattvhi the east.
