There arc other objections 10 Mr.. ADAMS
Of q personal nature, snd objection, whieh n
grow out OF q controversy between him sod .
gentleman who was born 10, and DO, long since.
was ci'izen Of Rhode Island. The nature,
The causes, and some ot The consequences ol
This controversy, are too well known TO the
people of this state, 10 be again laid before
The pubic. i; will be sufficient az this lime
% say that on the part of MIR. ADAMS, IL was
unP'ovoked; commenced Tor the pu, pose Of
inJu''og his character and ended in raising
him higher than he before was, in ibs estma.
.ioD OF his fellow ciiIzens.
ne gentleman Who begun the wsrfare With
MIN, has suffered IN consequence of il and i.
IL not probable that he viii very soon regain
mat bigh and elevated rank which he ouce
held 10 the esteem OF the ciilzsns Of this state,
snd of The people 0f the United States. He
mas yet, some friends, who arc determined 10
unite theif destinies with his, and stand or fall
win him. 1hefe sre not many OF this do
sc'P'iob' bui thor zeal enc active exertions
suppy thsif wants OF numbsrs. Although
ho' all oi ihem ere open 10 their bostiiiIies,
,noy are uOequsiled in their exertons, and in.
,iolols aoemps to destroy the character Of
M ADAMS, a0d blast his repuia.ioD.
Among oiher things ne IS csllsd upon by
them' 10 snsuer Tor ell the political sins and
errors oil his fsther's Contamination The
feelings OF Republican, have been addressed,
and attempts have been made to excite their
pfeJudices TO his injury.
Inc chcumslsnce of his being the con OF o
mar who wa, once President Of the United
Sass, IS often mentioned TO shew and satisfy
the public, be ought not 10 be. There may
be some who arc Influenced by lhe conduc, Of
these men bu, lew trust, The gres, body
ot the American people, will think, ivdge, srd
act tor themselves. II Mr.. Russell has been
ind'sctee', imprudeni, and IN his suemp, to
inJufe the character oi Nj. ADAMS, has mado
burn, Offering of his ovD, II Is right and
JOS thsI he should suffe snd u is no, pro
per Tor 'hc people o! the United Stsse. to make
mo case 'heir own, or sympathise With him
iot 'be loss OF wha, he once possessed. Nor
IS II proper that the sttent,on of the Anne ,ic an
people should be diverted from the gres, oues.
Iicn which is now pending BY tho squabbies OF
irdivldusis,
Nj. ADAMS as he declares, and I belle ve
ha ~ one doubts il, was the friend Of MIR
Russell; he had never directly or indirectly
done any act or thing, TO Injurs hi, chsrscisr,
% impede HIM IN his mach 10 The 6rsi hon.

RJ sZL, II certainly uust be said ol him ,h a,

ADAMS.
a n, time the controversy commenced,
:hefr Sete many persons H. this and the other
New England State, Of some con.ide able m
fucnce, whose friendship for NJ RgssEL and
whore inimssy wilh him, led them TO hops
though they regretted ne exs ence oi The
controversy, Ihst u would end without iDiu,
ing his cho, sct.r. When some OF them found
th'' he was completely pu, down by Mr., AD.
ANS, and Ind sunk so fac as not 10 be abe
soon 10 rise il evef, their feelings were SO f.,
exc cl.ed for him, a. 10 render the m unmlne
iui that he had been the sggressof.
Hence their coIdness to NJ. ADAMS, end
the Zeal and industry with which hey have
sought Tor objections agaIns, him thinking
as one would be led to supPo,e, thai bis tall
was Necessary TO exsit their friend. To have
proved this, II was only oecesss'y TO have OBJ
served the conduct Of these meo, 10 fhp.e
places, whore the friends Of Mr. RUSSELL
are ihc most numerous.
We have islsly had among them evidence
