COLO. PICKERING.
Timothy Pickering, in his late venomous
pamphef, designed To anuihlate John o.
Adams, has actually done that gentleman
the must serious aud permanent adyan
tagc. lie has placed him in company with
Mr.. Jefferson, and identified the cause II
one with the other. Every attack on Mr.,
Adams, has redounded 10 his honor and
benefit. This will cap the climax, & make
him President of tie United States. II
ID the best possible argument IN favor of a
public man, that Timothy Pickering aad
Harrison Gray Otis are against him, and
that he himself Is connected in conduct or
opinion with Mr.. Jefferson. We hnvp been
very much amused at the dilemma in which
Mr.. Pickering's book has placed the edi
torial friends of Mf. Crawford They de-
sire earnestly TO avail Themselves of Colo.
PickerinS's ga'l against iohn q. Adams !;
but as they affect 10 be the peculiar disciples
of Th"s. Jefferson, they are afraid ofiosng
ms credit, by quoting AS authority the
ISLANDERS ot ins oldest, last, and most inve.
terate enemy. Agree with us, gentlemen
that the SAID pamphlet is the deformed
offspring of malicious, iindicti,e and i'm
pidcahic personal enemy--whose malrvo.
lcnce has survived his intcgrily-and envy
of the great and excellent, his intclects.-
Blnns is the only man, except Colvin, who
quotes him with complaccncy What shall
we think Of the eticuSiee Republicans,
when they are driven 10 defend the Hart
ford Convention, and To quote Timothy
Pickering as authority ! Alas poor Yo
