we perceive one in the Daily Advertiser
Of "Wednesday, OF MIR. James ID. Oliver,

PROVISION MARKET.

MIR. p. Brunei has become the pro-
prietor Of the Metropolitan, printed in
Georgetown. The paper has since
very much improved. The following
is from MIR. P.'s introductory address.
.sIn the approaching contest between
those two great, and may add, only
competitors for the chief magis,racy of
our country, Messrs. Adams ard Craw-
ford, shall not withhold my support,
however feeble it may be, from Mr.. #.
dams, conceiyiDg that his long services
and tried zeal pre-eminently qualify him
for that high and responsible situation
while | have thus announced my inten-
tion Of favoring the well grounded pre-
tensions Of Mr.. Adams, would not be
understood as ipduIging any personal
hostility to MIR. Crawford; on the con
trary, hold him in the highest estima-
ton, believing him to possess private
character Of noble and ingenious cast,
and that his political career has been
marked with an energy and acuteness
which should at least cntitle him TO the
thanks OF the community. l Will never
basely attempt to elevate MIR. Adams by
decrying Mr.. Crawford, but while | do
not disguise my prejudice in favor Of
MIR. Adams. as supporting certain prin.
ciples essential to the well being Of our
country, nevertheless, 1 shall not with
bold from Mr.. Crawford, that praise
which is doe TO his merit"
