We were wong IN announcing the election nr &C.

ccn.hei 132i'o eater upnn his functions I'm the iih
March, 1875, aud Of the tenn Of the Sd presidency
oi MIR. Monroe.
We take this occasion tn correct another very I'm
poiiant error. Several journ-ls in Par. announce
on the iai,l of ieucr rnm Philadelphia, that the
Secretary at STATE John Quincy Adams, son or the
honorable john Adams, wall he elected ~ the pr.s-
denoy Of the Republic, post which his father &C.
cupied ~ 1893. We suspect The correspond was
deceived in this Case IL rs well known that Mr. A.
dams is, aud has always been, what is called in A.
| merica, member of the Feder0i, that is 10 saw
! English party. MIR. Adams the father has written
and published, long time ago, exaggerated culo-
gnu' the English institutions: and Mr. Adams he
! son has manifested ON many occasions, his ndhe.
ience to iii. doctrines of his father. Amongst Other
facts of which the correspondent appears to be 90
horani are these, that there are Eve candidates fo
the presidency thar Mr.. Adams will not have 1, third
part al the voes required 10y The constitution that his
adversary Mr.. Crawford, now minister of finances
oi The L States, Will have erea, majority and
"ally that il beyond all doubt Among The hest in-
! formed Americans. Mr.. Crawford, will he elected
president Mr.. Crawford, WHO was minister plcni-
potent arv Of the Cned States Paris previously to
1873, Is known as mau of very superior talents,
political principles of the perfect republican,
ISM, and OF irreproachahe morality.
We have received Havana papers To the
l6th ut. Inclusive. The British ship Of war
IhetIs arrived there on the 18th, in days
from Vera Cruz. The passengers stated that
the firing from the Castle had ceased since
December aud that the inhabitants were re-
turning TO the town.
Ii is stated that the government of Cuba
are about To substitute the metallic curIcncy of
dnl!nrs and cents as money of account, in lieu
oil The imaginary denominations of pesos,
reals, &c.
new order of the government, limits the
period FOR the admission of vessels without
the nece ssary bills Of health to the 10th of May
next.
Capt. Luddnston informs, that few hours
heiore lie sailed, ION the 20th,) four American
sramen arrived from Cape Antonio, who stat
ed that they belonged To an American brig cap
ured OH that place by Pirates, who had muir
dered the captain and mate. The scamen
came ON foot from the Cape, and were in
distressing situation.
Three L. S. schrs. were at Havana, to sail

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
OR MIDDLE INTEREST roL1cY

OR MIDDLE INTEREST roL1CY
While East, and greedy South, and West
For presidential chair contest,
WHY should the Middle States delay
To interfere III the afraye
WHY hesitate to take the heldP
Or why without struggle yield
The South, of presidential ware,
Has furnish'dus goodly share
The East has had the honour too,
The Western States are yet too new;
Then truly none of all these powers
Has claims on half 50 good as ours;
And none will cen pretend to be
More patriotic, sure, than we.
And though they do present host
OF candidates, they cannot boast
\ single name among them all,
On whom sharp censuic nigh not fall.
There's Adams, whom the Yankees praise
Has chang'd his course in former days;
lie veer'd about while yet novice,
10 serve his country--for an Office.
And Crawford has been prov'd, Of late,
A Federalist-in Ninety-eight,
And if 'twould make his fortunes thrive,
He'd turn again--in Twenty five.
Calhoun and Clay are both good fellows,
But ones too young, the Demos tell us,
And if 'ts true, as Fame reports,
The others fond Of games and sports:
And if Old Jackson should be chosen,
He'll muster armies by the dozen:
With military law, severe,
Ger those free states he'll domlnecr,
And punish every small abuse
With musket ball, or hempen moose.
Thcn since in vain we seek to find
A single statesman to our mind,
In this their list of boasted names;
And since tits clear that all their claims
Are weak and futile, come, let's rouse!
Our own neglected caase esporse,
And see il there be 'mongst US re sdcnt
80 individual fit for President
It's now Our turn, let'stry for once,
Some iatent Pennsylvania Ounce
Come, cast your eyes i'll search around,
Can not another Shulze be founde
Have we not still within the state,
another hair-brain'd dundcrpatc,
Who could by means Of well-urs'd lies,
Find favour in the nations cyess
No matter though he be an ass,
The thing might still be brought to pass;
Tor with this truth we've all been struck,
The greater fool, the better luck =
