oil his sketches of American manners, and adds this
Isneerng remark -" We can only thank that ex
quiste artist, for having opened our eyes to the real
blessings OF liberty and equality and for having
taught us duly to appreciate the rapid spread (as
the cant ISL of improvement and intelligence, in

their representatives are appointed, the name i'm
ports, TO represent the people-that when the voice
of the people is proclaimed the representative if

appointment, is bound to respond to that voice. and
to give it its full effect if he do not, he no longer

him in, this course, SO far from being republicans
are nothing more nor less than conspirators against
the liberties of the people. National Journal.

the I'd ult. says" We have the pride and salts
faction TO know, that the supporters of Mr.. Adams
move In solid phalanx, and though no bold state
ments are made, no note OF defiance sounded, they
will march to the POLLS with the most confident ex-
pecaton, that the electoral vote of Ohio will be
given for the man of their choice While on this
subject we will inform our readers, that we have
just received communication from gentleman of

Peremptoriy denying that he has joined the league

that Mr.. VAN buren, and others " will neue,

WILLIAM II. CRAWFORD, nor does he believe that

"The National Journal at Washington says
Major Noah, " is principally supported by the pen
Of Mr.. Adams" To this, Mr.. Fcgce, Editor ofthe
Journal replies We have already given the lie
to worthy compeer Of Major Noah, who was the

to another, VIC repeat here, for his own particular
that Mr.. Adams has more to do with
our Journal than the Major himself has--that he |

its columns in any form or mode whatever
