Mitchell, late Iptiian agent, confidential and
Jealous friend Of Mr.. Crawford, and rho was
dismissed from his Agency by the President, for
smuggling slaves from Florida into the United
States. This adds another to the many proofs
which are daily brought to light, that the great
majority OF the active leaders Of the Caucus and
Crawford party, are men without political prin-
c'pie' VINO would not hesitate to resort to, any
means to force the Secretary of the Treasury OBJ

DEAR SIR: The friends of the administration,
IN TINS part OF tue State are in a dilemma The
radicals have purchased out the old press nj
the seat OF government, and are now PUBLISHING
a hot Crawford paper, and literally refuse to
publish any thing favorable to either of the 9th
er candidates. The circumstances arc these
Judge Smith, formerly Senator in Congress
an orphan child, by The name of TAYLOR; and
being administrator of the estate of Gen John
Taylor, father of his ward, sold in Alabama the
last years crop ofcotton, for about.5OoO dollars
and placed it in the hands of Gen. VIM Tav.
ior, OF Cahawba, with a reqnes, that he youl1
pay some demands against the estate. and make
use OF the balance as he might deem proner
Judge Smith is the friend OF Crawford in S9uth
carolina; Gen. Faylor Is the son-n. law of Da-
OhnIf l1AA IL.
lar partisan and friend of Mr.. Crawford. Ce.
neral Taylor thought proper to purchase, with
the money, press, and establish paper, to for
ward the interests of MIR. Crawford The own
er OF the press, MIR. Alien, had been much har
raised for money, and his creditors were pres
sing him, and calculated every day TO have bis
establishment levied on. Taking atlvanta.. q of
these circumstances, Gen. Taylor paid Mir. 81
len two thousand dollars in hand, and will paw
him the balance in April next. This seems 10
be new way to vest orphans estates.
Extract Of a letter froma gentleman in Mas
sachuseits, to his friend in this city.
Agreeable to your request, ! will state to
you the present condition of New England as to
the presidency. In Vermont, there is not the
ieasf question as to the vote. New Hampshire
Is equally safe, and SO also we consider Con-
meet Icut. letters. from Rhode Island. state
up their intended opposition Whether they do
or do not, Is, however, immaterial, as the result
OF contest could not be doubtful. In Maine.
there tons some doubt as to two districts, but no
question now exists except as To Cumberland
district, which chooses one elector Recent
information induces us to believe that this also
is safe. The resignation of two individuals sue.
cessWey nominated there, shows the extreme
difficulty of their getting on.
GO In our own State, there is some sho,, of IN.
position' but little of substance. The electors
nominated BY the opposition in Berkshire, turns
out TO be for MIR. Adams. There are no repnb-
llcans of any standing or influence, but who are
for MIR. adams but the Essex .Junto ITO a
many are opposed TO him. Timothy Pickering
is doing all he can, TO stir up the faction but il
will be all in vain.
81 have letters from intelligent friends in A
iabama and Mississippi, wko speak of Mr.. A
dams prospects in that quarter as very flatter-

WINCHESTER, Wa September TO-.
II disIntercsfed individual should lend a Gre
duious ear 20 the various plots and stratagems
resorted to by the parizans of the different cam
iiuates Tor the presidency, 10 advance their par
licular iavoritc, and TO blast the reputation of
others, he would really think that the whole adj
was destitute of mind and corrupt i'm
principle. Mr.. a dams, the prominent candi
aate-he who occupies the fore-gro of the
picturc-whose original selfpoiscd mind, vast
acquired knowledge, and extensive experience
whose republican simplicity and stern inte-
srity-wiosc tutelage in the school of Jefferson
Madison and Monroe have thrown the ewes of
the nation upon him this man, as exalted in
character as IN station, and as far beyond the
reach OF his caiuminators as lie is above them
N moral worth and political integrity, is the sub
ect OF the most scurriious abuse flowing daily
md every day-we had almost said every hour
n the day-through the columns of certain
presses OF our country, of whom it may be said
That many OF them never had any reputation,
and OF most of the others that they have lost what
htte they ever had. No man can open the
w asmngton Gazette or the Richmond ENQUIRER,
without being Disguised with this continually
repeated slang, false in fact as il is vulgar IN
eeling and expression. The man oflibei nj views
and patriotic sentiments recoils from their CO
urnns as he would from the adder which besets
lie path of innocence. So true il is,
"Qucm Deus vult perdere, prius demeniat."
If these presses and their aiders and abettors
we're not already deranged in their intellectual,
not to say their moral vision, they would see
hat This illiberal, lopsided course had with an
enlightened community but one effect, and that
s, to bring on their own irretrieyabe ruin.
Neither of these papers hesitates in its uuhalloy-
ed zeal to destroy MIR. Adams. to link MIR.
Monroe with him, aud sink them together.
