The combination of certain ultra federa!ists in
Boston against John @. Adams, which has arisen
from his determined and constant opposition for
the last twenty years, to the Vaccinations of the
Essex Junto, and their idols, Pickering and Ca

From the high enco,niuIns passed on Mr.
Webster last winter by the friends of the Urea.
sury candidate, many were led to suppose that
this distinguished Massachusetts jurist had been
tempered with, and the fond expectation that a
party would rise up in the land of steady habits
In favor of the caucus candidate, so frequently
manifested, while il disregarded by those
who knew the sentiments of Mr.. Webster were
IN accord with the whole body of the people of
New England, sufficiently proved that manage

rcsorted to, though not in the open Crawford
manner as has been prac,ised in New Yoris-

Can the Republicans of Virginia ask any bet
ter evidence of corruption in the Crawfordites
than this?--or any greater proof of the Demo-
crazy of Mr.. Adans--of his sound principles &
sterling integrity, than tbe'inarshalIed and de-
terinincd opposition of the ultra federalists of
Hartford Convention memory, to his claims to
the Presidency! Do they want to be told that
the Essex Junto, after being defeated in aJltheir
wicked designs, and laid PROSTATE, have of late
risen up, and are now running about the streets
Of Boston in frantic extaces, headed by their
man Timothy, pleasing themselves with the
hope that the Coalition they have of late formed
with their JSosUrection men of Richmond will
raise the setting Of federalism?--We trust
noi--'ve trust they arc too well informed on This
subject as well AS on all others which interests
them in this Struggle for principle, not to know
that every man and every mans son in Essex
who was opposed TO our revolution, who called
our Declaration Of Independence the speaking
trumpet of rebellion, and who united President
jefferson, from the beginning to the end Of his
mild, phllosOphiC career, is now n determined
enemy Of J. q. Adams, and the fast friend of Mr.
Crawford

ponder on these facts, and take calm. dispas-

entered into by the Essex and Richmond Juuto
TO aid Mr.. Crawford opd oppose Mr.. Adams
who supported the Republican party with all his
talents and might of character, in the most try
ing times, that they may be convinced this
singular connection has been brought about and
coDsnnnated, by sacrificing TO party views and
individual aggrandzement The dearest rights &
best interests of the people. Such an unnatu
raj combination could be formed only by men of
the most abandoned moral and political prnci-
pies. The fact that Mr.. Ritcbic and Timothy
