which has made our land the pride Of it, own
itizsns, the arbitration and the envy of the res,
! the world. As individuals, and M the ed.
ltnfs of public journal we have nothing 10 ask
ne have nothing Z" fear, from amy fthe pres.
iientiai candidates. We court not their favor
nor d" we deprecate their enmty. We can as
truly aay of Mr.. A. Ms he has said fths Editors
OF the Intslligencer, we " ask neither 6por nor
f1endshiP"Q Of the Secretary Of State, nor Of the
Secretary Ofthe Treasury, nor Of the whole
administration put together.
But this question we will dare put TO the
people. What are you TO expect from MIR. As
hasty and jealous temper? IL he yields the
patronage and the power Of a single DEPART
n,ent ON the principles before referred to,
what are we not to expect from him, when
clothed with the vast patronage an d powers Of
the schole Executive government?
MR. PETER Force Editor of the National
Journal, who has purchased the w. Republic
can-intends issuing daily paper hereafter.
From his prospectus il is assuredly to bp a
thorongh-going administration paper, on the
principles Of Dir. }. @ Adams:
He closes his prospectus with the following
singular paragraph:
\ With respect to the Presidential question, the
sentiments Of the National Journal have been too
tuly expressed TO be Rsisnntersood, or 10 need
petition here. They still unchanged and while IL
vii he willing 10 do full justice the other cand
uaies, and even 10 welcome their respective friends
TO ne columns, in arict iupastiay, the preference
for John Quincy Albums, fouadet AZ il is upon con-
scencious hei,ef of his superior qualifications, can
| never DO abandoned. But, in making this DECLARE
ton, IL is proper add, that the National Journal
o"ks forward To higher destiny than becUWe
sfecfioneeTtig PURITAN and that in future the Cause
OF Me. Adams wall he suppor ed no iursher than il
involves the interest Of the adn,usi, alton and OF the
| county"
Are we then TO understand that Mr.. Adams
is hcnceforth 10 b. held up as the government
candidate? The Journal hupcs for Il" a higher
destiny" Ii is now, and always has been, d" an
efeciioneering pariizam." But this character
will he merged in that of administration paper,
and MIR. A. will, IN future be supported NO far
'ther than his support involves the interest Of
the administration. Indeed! What bold and
desperate measures shalt we see next resort
ed to?
