Mr.. Pickering's Pamphlet, has been received in
his city, for sale. AS we were not favored with a
copy by mail, we have not had an opportunity Of
flexamlning it. From wha, we have heard Oft how
ever we have no doubt, the real obec, of this pub
llcation at this time, is If possible to injure MIR.
Adams. But it is all labor lost. Mr. Russel's Dr.
plicote failed; General Smyth's circular failed
Mr.. Cunningham's Correspondence failed and so
much OF Mr. Pckering's Revieao, as is intended to-
nlnre Mr. Adams, we predict, will fail also.

Forgery and Periury.-A peculiar case was trit
cd at The Superior Court in Amherst, N Fl. shore
time since, involving not only consider able propers
y, but the character Of the parties and Witnesses.
One OF the witnesses, after having sworn in the
Probate Court, to the validity of ,ciH testified, in
me superior Court, that the whole was, from the
lDeginning vile and wicked system of fraud, for
Igery, and perjury. Two others attempted to main.
tain the validity of the will by their oaths The
Chief Justice, in charging the jury, deprecsted tho
"ckedness and depravity brought to light by the
trial. The jury found verdict against the validity
lot the will; SO that the executor and three witness
ses to the will stand guilty Of gross fraud, forges
Try, and perjury.
1t is singular thing that the friends of Mr.,
CRAWFORD should be making sanguine calculations,
upon assistance from the friendship Of the high toned
lederalists OF New England-and Messrs Timothy
Pickering, Gore, Otis, and the Hartford Conventions

Extract of letter from gentleman of the first re-.
spectability and intelligence, residing in Winning

WILMINGTON, May II, 1824.--I do not take a
very active part in politics, but the subject OF se
ecting candidate for the Office of President, think
the voice Of the people should be regarded more
than recommendation by caucus composed OF
members of Congress. The constitution declares,
that no member of Congress shall be appointed an
elector OF President, neither Representative nor SEM
ator and regard the proceedings of the late Cau~
Gus at Washington to be in effect violation of thie
salutary provision. AS to the candidates for fbE
Presidency, after much and trust faithful delibe~
ration, my opinion decided in favor of Mr. s3damsy
and have no doabt that he will receive the eectos
raj vote of Delaware" Patriot.
