WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER /, 1928.
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

Because we have disclaimed being the par
tzans OF the Adams's, and spoken we'll of
Calhoun, we have been set down by some, as
his supporters TO undeceive any who may
be IN this errour, we may say, we are ii e par
tlzan OF no man, nor are we yet determined
on supporting either of the candidates now in
nomination for the Presidency. We have a
Msh respect for some of them, but do not, like
some mealy mouthed editors, profess to
believe that there is no one of them whose ell
ovation would not do honour to our country.
There is one, at least, of them, whose eleva-
ton would be lasting reproach to the ma
ton, and who will receive our constant oppo-
sition.
If we have not said any thing of the tai
ents, and merits of John @. Adams, it is be-
cause he is too well known, and his merits too
well appreciated to need our commendation
Should we be under the necessity of choosing
among the candidates in nomination. our
choice would unquestionably fall on him, as
the one, whom we believe best qualified TO
discharge the duties of the Office. II is on
that principle, and that alone, that we could
support him, and we apprehend that no feder-
allst can do it on any other ground. The fed
eralists, as party, (if, indeed, such a party
still exists) have less to expect from his eleva-
ton, than from that of any other candidate.
In addition to the ordinary causes of political
hostility, it is reasonable to infer that the mu-
tual alien alton and opposition, which are en-
gendered by the secession of an individual
from party, will have some effect on him,
ana he will feel himself under some obliga-
tion TO shew the sincerity of his conversion.
The leading friends of Mr.. Adams, show
no disposition to conciiate their political op-
ponents. Old causes of heart burning and
hostility, are sought out, and men, better than
themselves, are denounced as belonging to an
I" unprincipled faction" We barely mention
these things to shew chow affairs go,'' and
feel perfectly willing that every man should
do,-as we intend to ourselves-as seemeth
best.

SPAIN.

The Union, arrived at New York
from Liverpool, with papers of the 22-
August, and London papers to the even
ing of the Goth, containing Paris dates
of the 18th, -.
Corunna was still in possession of the
Constitutionalists, on the Sd of August,
and was bombarded at intervals by the
French.
Reports have been received that the
Cortes had fed from Cadiz and the King
set at liberty; but there was no intelli-
gence from that place so late as has
reached us by the way Of Gibraltar.
There was also report, that ne
gociation was going on between the
Duke of Angouleme and the Cortes.
which was likely to terminate favorably
for the Cortes; but it appears that the
Duke was at Andujar on the 9Th, and il
was not expected he would reach Sc
vile before the 16ih.
