(REuAnE.-1. II viii lie m eternal sepa
ration" THIS letter WAS written one year after
i' embargo vote, vet we here see the Messrs
Adams, father and son, adhering To the frde-
alisis, 10 the " absolute oligarchy" from
whom this country has more To fear than from
any other source. They bath rciuse Ia aid the
republicans in q contest with the fcderalsts.
III lhey had been. sincere, how much good
| might they not have done nj this time? A re-
publican government, in Massachusetts during
the war wodld have given tn. u. S the use
of its militia, would have expelled the Bri-
tisf force from Castior, would have prevent

union. But the Mtssrs. Adams, father and son.

garchy of Boston f-deralists.'0
Ihr extracts are here discontinued. More
could be brought; but why multiply proofs (?
me candid man will require no more the
partizan will yield To none. The federalism of
father and son is proved To the conviction of
petty jury, sitting in their boxes. Twelve
months after the embargo vote, they ar. I'M

Their ancient friends. A few months after
wards, June 1909, Mr.. John Quincy is APP
pointed Minister 10 ST. Petersburg, aud forth
with, his practice at the Bar, his professor
ship, his love of private station, all Weld their
objections. The carbuncle, shining in tn. dark.
has an attraction in St. Petersburg which il
has not in Boston. Nine thousand at an i'm
p'ral court, Is a better living for gentleman.
than thIrty-three hundred in provincial Town.
