THE EXCLUSIVE REPUBLICANS

poneDts Of Mr.. Adams, particularly IN
this state, h We represented his main sup
port ~ proceeding from the iiedcralsts in
order to blast his prospects. Aware OF the
magic of a name, they continue 10 handy
about the glost of Federalism, "hrn its
power Is gole Bot if thu epithct is 10
he used for Interested purpose, ei the %
dunn attached IN it, be visited on the pro-
per heads. Two facts follow, which we
commend To the especial notice Of those
who say that Mr. Adams is the candidate
of the federal party.
/. Tin state OF Delaware, the only state
in the union, where the old pa ~ grounds
al dispute have any mlluencr. IS decidedly
federal, and decidedly for Mr. Crawford.
Her federal presses, her federal governor,
her federal Legislature, her federal mem
beers of Congress- are all for hlm--and SO
viii be h'r federal electors.
z. The counties of Bedford, Franklin
and Patrick, uniformly democratic, are
TO for Mr.. Adams, whilst the county ot
Botttonet, invariably federal, Il opposed 10
Mr.. A. and in favor Of Nh Crawford, in
about the same ratio
