MIR. ADAMS IN ALABAMA.

Our readers viii perceive notice in to DAYS
paper, inviting the friends ofAIr. Adams to meet
at the court house, on Saturday week, to norn-
nate candidate for an Elector favorable TO his
election to the Presidency. Slmilar notices, we
observe, have been published in the TuscaIoosa
and Grecnsborough papers +; and in Montgome-
~ county, Col. John Cause has offered himself
Il candidate, and, if elected, pledges himself to
vote for Mr. Adams. These movements have
been made, previous to Knowledge of General
Jaczson's course ON the Tariff, whose strength
must necessarily in this state be greatly weak
encd by his support Of that ruinous measure.
we hazard nothing in saying that Gen. Jack
son has disappointed the sangr.ine AMI confident
calculations Of bis friends in this quarter-aud
that many ofhis irmest supporters are prepared
to abandon him account OF his sentiments in
regard to the Tariff. [HIaisUAte Republican.

MIR. ADAMS.

Almost every revolving day, brings with it
some additional proof of tho favorable situation
in which MIR. Adams stands with the American
people in regard TO the approaching presidential
election. The election of the new governor of
Connecticut, WHO'S thought TO be opposed to the
election of Mr.. Adams, was deemed by some,
here, as pretty conclusive evidence of his (Mr
Adams) want of popularity in That state. But
the recommendation of Mr.. A. by the legisla-
turc, has completely changed the aspect of the
case.
We notice, toe, as we conceive, another ia
vorablc indication of what we state, that many
of the prints which recently INDUCED in the
most sarcastic vitnbcration against Mr.. Adams
have now considerably moderated their tone.
Indeed, many other circumstances, sufficient
ly strong, have TRANSFERRED to confirm us in the
belief, that there is every probabiIit, that John
Quincy adams ,ciU be The nerI President of The
! United St:teS. .4lertnd1ia Herald

The COMMITTEE Of INVESTIGATION contin-
ued msession yesterday, with an interval of two
hours, from Q O'clock III the morning until near
IN III" evening, in the course ofwhich long sit
ting they examined number of witncsscs-a-
monSst them MIR. Cheres, Mr. Forsyth, Mr..
Jennings, of Indiana, and Mr.. Riddica, Prcsi.
dent of the Bank of Missouri, and Mr.. Rc>eau,
OF the st. Genevicve Bank of Missouri.
Its expected the committee will examine
MIR. Edwards himself to-day, as they have now
received the testimony of nearly all the other
witnesses who nave been slbpnned. ID.
In reply 10 letters which we have received
from different parts of the Union, and in com
pancc with the request of several friends of the
Secretary of the Treasury, who left the Seat of
Government at the close of the late session OF
Congress, VIC have the pleasure to state, that
the health Of NJ. CRAWFORD has materially inn
proved within the last ten or twelve days, aud is
now better than II las bccu for some months
past. The National Gazette mcntions that DIR.
PorTER, very eminent medical gentleman OF
Baltimore had visited Mr.. G.. at tho request OF
some of his friends. We will avail ourselves
of the public mention of DIR. P's name, by the
Gazette, 10 state it is on his authority, confirm
hi by the oiniun of the resident physician that
we speak 50 confidently. DIR. p. has visited
MIR. Crawford sever times. On his first in
ter7Icw, he pronounced him to be in no danger;
on his last, that he free from disease, and
with nothing but debility to recover from, which
he is in fair way of doing.
We certainly should not have deemed il ne
ccssary To be thus particular on such subject,
were it not for the misrepresentation which
have been circulated, for sinister purposes it
would seem, in relation to it. For the credit OF
tins city, we assure distant readers, that the
scandalous statements which have lately issued
from the press here, on this subject, as untrue
as they were indicate nnd unfeeline are justl,
appreciated by all considcrate persons, and are
looked upon, by men of all parties, with unmix-
cd dSapprobaton and disgust. They only fur
nish evidence of the dcplorablc lengths to h:cl,
political hostility will carry those who resign
themselves to its maievolent inhucncc.-1U.
A hoax has been played Off this week by some
Typographical wag in New York, by sending to
the Baltimore editors printed newspaper slips
(such as are usually sent in anticipation of the
regular n,aiD purporting TO be issued ut the Ga
