Inc PTestdency.-WhIlst Mr.. Crawford, the
candidate Of the little Caucus, is daily sinking in the
estimation Of the rejecting, honest, and truly re-
publican part Of The community (who are more than
Ten to one of the political intriguers)- adams,
who is emphatcally the PEOPLES CANDI-
DATE, is rising in their affection and esteem We
never for moment supposed that millions Of Free.
men would be dictated to by Caucus composed of
the petty number OF sirty.sir persons, the adhe-
rents of man whose conduct has become odous in
the eyes of the nation. We make not these asser-
tons without solid foundation. We might fill our
| columns with accounts of meetings in every slate
In the Union, of the numerous friends Of John
quincy .adams, at which they have expressed their
high esteem of his talents and integrity, and their
firm determination to support his claims to the Pres.
idency Tor the discharge oil the duties OF which high
Office he is eminently qualified. In Pennsylvania
the votes Of which state it has hitherto been suppo-
sed would be given exclusively to Gen. Jackson,
the number Of Mr.. Adamss friends is rapidly in
creasing, and whatever diversion may take place in
the course which she has heretofore pursued, rea
tive to the Presidency, will be in favor of Mr..
Adams. In the county of Somerset, in that state,
a very large meeting Of the voters held on the
god Of July, at which they resolved, in considera.
ton of the distinguished conduct of JOHN Quincy
ADAMS in his present capacity, his long tried neg
rity in many public stations, his firm patriotism, un
deviang fidelity, and extensive political informa.
tion--to all honorable means for his election to
the Presidency.
| A respectable meeting Of the citizens of New
Brunswick, NJ ]. was held on the 18th of July,
when resolved that in the opinion of the meet
ing, John Quincy Adams is the most suitable per-
son to be elected the next President and that he be
Recommended to the people for their choice. The
votes of the persons present were for adams, Co.
Jackson, 10.
A meeting of the friends of Mr.. Adams was held
at the State House, in Cahawba, Alabams,on the 18th
Of July. The meeting was composed of the cti
zens of Cahawba and its vicinity, and of gentlemen
of distinction from different parts of the Stale, at
tending the session Of the Supreme Court.
/ The meeting opened with an appropriate
speech by David Rust, esq. OF Mobile. In com
menting on the requisite qualifications for the Pre-
sdency, he spoke of the experience and knowledge
Of Mr. Adams as a statesman, his superior oppor.

mate acquaintance with our foreign interests and re-
laons. 1t was on these grounds that he advocated
the claims Of Mr.. Adams, and not from any hostili-
ty or i'll will 10 the other candidates. He remarked
that there was nation, however obscure and 10.
significant in political point Of view, with which it
was not important for the President to be acquainted
| The following resolutions were adopted:
"ResoLred That from the long experience as
state sman the acknowledged taentsand great moral
worth of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, we deem
him pre-eminently qualified to be the successor oil
James Monroe, our present worthy Chief Magistrate
Resolved, That we will support JOHN Q.
ADAMS for the office OF President of the United
States.
| Resolved, That we will support JOHN c. CAL
| HOUN for the Office of Vice President"
j AS respects the Vice Presidency, Joha G. Cat
houn is generally, and very justly regarded as the
most suitable person for that Office, and we have nc
. doubt of his election.
