uc,r,c. From, these fncts then we take i; pIo !
we'd. tina; the amalsama,ion Of parties which the
friends of MIR. Crawford have openly deprecated
,c,. have uniformly and convertly sought TO effect
That that union of parties which they have said
would be the result of Mr.. Adams election, and the
ruin ofthc republican party, they have labourcd to
hiring about to elevate their chieftain. What their
success has been will enquire. That the
great body of men of all parties, in New England,
sensible Of the superior attachments, qualifications,
talents and public services of Mr. Adams prefer him
over every other candidate, one WHO'S acquaint-
cd with the people of n. England will doubt. But
that the leaders of the federal party, tho ncn who
constitute the Essex Junio, and the projectors OF the
Hartford Convention, Were friendly TO Mr.. Adams
we never were blinded as to- believe. We know
tina, for him and his parent they entertained most
cordial hatred. We know that his prediction and
disclosure of their designs in his review of the works
of Mr. Aues, had been tho death blow OF their hopes,
and his vndicu ton of,hc Embargo, and other mea-
surcs OF Mr.. JecrSons administration. his letter to
MIR. Otis, fatal to any hopes of their future sup
port. But so towering and majestic have been Mr..
Adams deserts aud CLAIMS that they dared not come
out asainst him. aud they cndeavourcd to elevate
Mr.. Otis the chair Of State, by holding out 10 the
people that he friendly to the election of Mr..
Adams. Bat during the whole OF this period saw
plainly their drift. Many of them looked anXiously
to Mr.. Clinton. hayimg formerly cnalesccd with him
against Mr.. Madison; ifhe had had any strength, he
would have had their support. But iiudng no pros
poet oitlc elevation of Mr. Clinton, they next turned
their eyes on Mr.. Calhoun, aud until he withdrew
from the il was evident he would have rccei-
we'd their support. Hence they joined i'll the denun-
Citations of MIR. Cahouns friends against Mr.. Craw-
ford, and fem no description of persons have we
heard more cutting remarks in relation 70 Mr. Craw-
ford, than from these federal leaders to whom we
have alluded.
But suddenly, their tone is changed. Their pa
psrs speak different language. Mr.. Otis, in i
cent letter speaks in favorable terms of MIR. Craw-
ford. Mr. Calhoun is withdrawn, and their choice
is any body but Adams. Hence the union with Mr..
Crawfors friends, long rejected, is at las; cmbrac
cd. Straws show how the wind blows-and it is
said that at debating club in Boston on Tuesday
evening of last week the Editor of the Boston Ca
zeitc, Il Junto paper, came out openly for MrCraw-
ford. The tone and the language ol many of the
leading federalists in relation to Mr.. Crawford with
in the last three weeks, has undergone radical
change, These arc but faint circumstances com
pared with Others in our possession TO prove coa-
ton between the Essex Junto and the friends of Mr..
Crawford. OF this coalition have decisive evil
dence, but not at liberty publickly TO state
it. OF this fact, must beg our readers to trust
to the credit Of our assertion. 1t s the first time.
during the long controversy III which we have
been involved, that we have refused To produce
authorities, and rest this assertion on
the correctness of the facts which have been
shown in former papers. If the public have been
deceived III them, ask no faith i'll
assertions now. But if they had been faithful 10
acts and principles, claim their belief in pre-
sent assertion of this unprinciplcd coalition. The
coalition at present is limited to n very few federal
ists-the great body of the federal party cannot be
brought act in this affair, aud they be de-
ceived and misled The plan of operation is this
In Maine, which votes by districts, men whose OPT
Mons not known to the people To be held M,
as electors, but there the plan succeed in
single district. In New Hampshire also, deep
game is TO be played. When il supposed that
Mr.. Morrill, was elected, the papers which support
Mr.. Crawford in the South, claimed his election as
Nicto'y of the Crawford party, and stated him to
be 4 parti.an Of Mr.. Crawford. We hope the
members OF the New hampshire legislature will look
well to it, that they will ascertain the fact before
thcy vote that they mark well the conduct of the
editor of the New Hainpshirc Patriot If they
know what his course is, they would be sure to he
right in steering contrary direction. Atany rate.
they should be that the persons eAey select as
electors are the determined and unwavcl;un SUM-
fporters of Mr.. Adams II is said that two Hrcc
papers there to come out for Mr.. Crawford a
soon as the elections settled-some Of them
| those which have supported Mr. Adams.-Ihejr
price has been paid and these coming out smultane-
ously with Others in this State. is TO DC adduced as
proof of 4 change of public sentiment.
In this State, the plan of operations is entea-
vor to divide the Stale, by having the elections
made in districts. In those districts that are feda
raj, an c!cctor is to be proposed whose continents
in relation to the Presidency are unknown, and the
| attempt is 10 be made 10 make it party question
between cderaliSts and republicans, and thus get Ivy
surprise some advocate of Mr.. Crawford. But il
the friends of Mr.. Adams true to themselves, as
VIC have no doubt they will be, they will insist upo,
general ticket, and undivided vote. III tha,
case there will be no opposition made to Mr.. Ad-
ans, it will be hopeless. And the hydra head
OF this coalition will raise itself above the
Garth, but remain i'll the same conceament tina
| now involves it. Men of New England; whethe,
| Federal or Republican, who prize integrity, ant
place value on public scrvces--look well abou
| you and give your support candidate who max,
no promises, Who has no brides to offer, and whC
would not, to secure his election, promise the low
est public station TO any individual as the price
it. We ask you tojudge him by his works, and nc
| by his professions. FENELLA.
