THE Sslem Register aud the Boston
Patriot are re-pubIishing series Of Es-
says, written by john Quincy Adams, and
which were published in the latter paper
IN goo, entitled a Review Of Works of
Fisher Ames, compiled by a number Of his
friends, with the view Of rebutting the
calumuies 80 iudustrioulsy circulated, rcla-
tive to Mr.. Adams's political principles
We have as yet only received the Preface,
aud the ! It No. of the Review. The love

The sentiments advanced by Nj. Adams
in the Review, are Those felt by every pat
riot; and they are supported by cogency
of argument and eloquence of style, in
which the mastef-hand that annihlated
Jonathan Russell is easily diseened. His
great powers were then exertcd 10 destroy
the effects of IN halucination of mind,
which gave TO every thing connected with
tbs country dole(ul aspect, in the laun-
diced vision of Mr.. AIMEE. III the words of
the Reviewer, +" Every thing. that Mr.. Amrs

they grew strong upon him in proposition
az they proved ineihcaeious upon others,
until he worked himself up into a sort of
reasoning phrcn2y, compounded of adora-
ten Of British power, adherence Of France,
and contempt for his own counirymen."
II wasihe error of this reasoning ptrenxH
aud Its 5anelul effects, that Mr.. Adams
wished To- expose apd eounieract; and 10
far ~ we have read, he has torn from the
sentiments and principles, propagated and
supported by Mr. Ames, lthe great high
priest of toryism whilst he lived, the little !
respect they derived from the weight of his
talents, and the virtue of his pryat" life
We do not, however, think that Mr.. Amcs
went so Tar in his belief as his language
Indicates. FOR instance, hc must have
known his error, when he wrote the fol-
lowing paragraphs, which we select from
number of others, equally erroneous and
reprehcnsble. In the last piece published
by him btf,ve his dccease, hcsaya,
"The immortal piritof the wood nymph
Liberty dwnIls ONLY in the British oak,"
"Of Dur six millions of people there are
scarcely Slg hundred who YET look for lib
erty any where except .on paper."9HriL

We cannot think that an American, or
indeed any man whose opportunities of
information have enabled him to form a
correct judgment, could entertain the opin-
ions advanced by Mr.. Ames. We are
confident that Mr. A. himself did not wish
to make them public. They were contain
ed in private letters, written under momen-
tarf excitements, and would have been for
