MS CLAIMS are supported, deny their attach
me9t to him, u the articles in his favor are gen.
orally anonymous communications. These facts
indicate correct tone of moral feeling, and are
creditabie to the virtue, and intelligence of
the People. The Citizens of New-England.
never yet have supported for office, any man.
who' actuated by hatred and revenge, has
gone forth with the instruments of Death. and
lmbued his hands in the LIFE-BLoop OF HIS
FRIEND, and we trust the day when thew
'rall do it, is yet far distant.
1t is impossible to calculate on the relative
strength OF the different Candidates. CON-
siderable portion of the people yet stand un.
committed to either of them; but as the great
contest approaches, new combatants almost
daily come forth, and array themselves under
'he banners OF one or the other of the Cham
plons. CT late, but few have marsballoR
themselves by the side of Crawford. while Adj
ANS and Calhoun have received considerable,
accesslons of strength. The METROPOLITAN O,
Paper conducted with considerable ability %
Georgetown Cd. c. has recently espopsed
the cause of the former, and the Trenton True,
American, the leading democratic paper in
New-Jersey, has come out as the advocate oc
the latter
Inc superior ability the integrity, and the
patriotism of John Quincy Adams, are verv
generally admitted, except by the most violent
Oh the Crawfordites; but there are some cir
cumstances, calculated 20 affect the nass;ons
and prejudices, rather than the upderst.aa
ing, which will operate powerfully against
h'm' These are his former politics, his paren-
'ase' and his being northern man. Some
men attach more Importance to names tb,n
10 principles with these, although it sbou,d
De SHOWN that Adams has more uniformly A..
'ed' and voted, with the majority, and has
oeen more republican in his PRINCIPLES and
Practice, than Crawford yet, as one was
'aHea iederalist, and the other a republican
'hat is sufficient cause with them, for reject,
ing the one, and approving of the other.
II Adams were Withdrawn, the chances.
with the people, would be altogether in favor
OF Calhoun. We think we hazard nothing in
saying he would receive the votes If son,,,
Carolina, and of every state North ofpepsvlv.-
ma; and it is most probable that, that State
Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabam.
ana Horth-Carolina would also be in his favor
on The other hand, no Candidate, beside him
ana Adams, could calculate, with any GER
'alnty, on receiving the votes of more than
| three States.
The opposition to Caucus nomination on
which the Crawfordites have hung their bonos
oil success, appears to be strong in every part Of
the Union The principle of giving the right
OF making nomination, which shall be con.
sldered binding in a majority of the electors
to part of the body on which, the election
may hnally devolve, is so monstrous in itself
and SO repugnant to the spirit of our institu
tlons' that 1T would DE strange indeed, if it
were tolerated. ~
1t will be recollected, that an account
OF the arrival of a number of emigrants at N.
York, from Scotland, in company with Nahum
Ward Esq. formerly of Shrewsbury in this
County, on whose lands they intended set
thing, was some time since published in the
Spy We are gratifed to perceive by the fol-
lowing article, which we extract ifom the Ma
rietta Minerva of Sept. Sd, that they are sat.
lshed with the country, and with their future
prospects.
EMIGRANTS.
A part OF the emigrants from Scotland
brought out by our townsman. Mr.. var
who landed at New York the 18th july. have
arrived at this place. They certainly are an
acquisition to the state, and we are much
! grati6ed that they are so well satisfied with
MIR. Ward and the country.
(The following was handed us for publica.
ton by one of the party.)
Mr. Editor,
SIR beg leave through the medium of
your paper, to express " own, and num-
Der CT my fellow Cou1efymen's grateful ac-
acknowledgements, forfhe friendly reception we
have experienced in America but more par
| tlcularly, the citizens of Marietta, have our
most cordial thanks for their polite attentions
to us, in accommodating, and facilitating our
wishes. | cannot enumerate the whole by
name, who have evinced their friendly dispo-
| sition, but there is one | should consider it
objectionable to omit. Mr.. N. Ward, whose
| gentlemanly condescension and unwearied
attention to all, during voyage of upwards
of five weeks across the Atlantic, acquired
their most decided appreciation, and they beg
ne will accept, in this manner, their most
grateful thanks. All information applied for,
by the numerous individuals, and all trans
actions with him, have been uniformly and in
vara'ly correct; and, certainly if may be
allowed to express my opinion, he deserves
the appreciation and thanks of his fellow cit
| lZens and CounfrN at Iarnn for tho arnnnsn
