that whilst many prefer candidate for Vcc-Presi-

think it unconstitutional to elect President. who
was born in Massachusetts,. Oh! Virainians, Fir-

of ancient Greece The philanthropy of Rome, Athens
and Sparta u the liberality well as justice
of our sister states, that filled the Presidential chair
with a Washington, Jefferson, a Madison and

begin to dispia, themselves in the jackson
camp. Stephen Simpson denoupccs the .jamiiy,

and every rccent circIa,st..lcc proves, that the
late alliance bctveea the friends of jackson and
Calhoun is dissoiving in IFS own weakness and
corruption. The more confederate Of General
Jackson's friends despair of his cause.-the Bed
ford Gazette, an able paper, and jealous for
jackson, openly declares that his election is
hopcIcss-and that his electors ought to be in
4truetcI to vote, if that shall appear, for John
Quincy Adams. The Democratic Press and A.
inericau Sentinel, anticipate union between
the friends of jackson and Adams, aud all tlicir
efforts are directed toavoid il. For ourowB parts,
we fcsl a confident assurance, that this union,
so natural in itself---so powerfully recommend
Ell by the consideration that Jackson cannot be
elected AMI tliatit will at once secure an cleo
ton by tflc people, will sooner or later take

THE NATIoNAL,JoURNA

This paper has appeared in its daily form
and from its size, spirit and arrangement, pro-
misses TO be an interesting and important Jour.
nal. We give the following extract from its
hrst number, as affecting ourselves, and as indi
eating proper spirit of courtesy and Justice.
I'm contradicting in our last paper, an article
which appeared in the Constitutional Wbir. i'm
relation TO Mr.. Adams knowledge of Mr.. Ed
wards memorial, we used an expression which
we fear may be susceptible of Interpolation,
by the Editors of that paper. 1t was certainly
very far from our intention 10 express doubt
that they had received the information which
they comrnuncated-Wc meant TO say that the
information itself had no foundation.n
We did not imagine that the Editor of the
Journal designed to apply thc epitlet basetcss
J1t1rtcdtioa to us--had we SO supposed, we
should not have been slow to reply with cores
Pondng asperity. We have already explained
our meaning In reference to that information.
We did not alludc to Edwards address, when
we said Mr. Adams had been apprized that
charges would be preferred. With this ouaiifi-
cation, we adhere to our original statement
desiring, however, that Messrs. Coyin and
Prick. who have made themselves busy in cir
culating tue information, with comments suited
TO their incorrect supposition, will publish like
wise the explanation.

sailors on board of five British vessels,
four of which were armed, the largest

Elholm and four other persons, one OF
whom was the coonel's servant, after
Isinding at night number of fires, exhib-
iting the parade of large encampment,
and using other stratagems, pcremptorlly
