following extract from The Harrisburg oracle coa.
hrms the impression.
g Z. or TO the unexpected withdrawal OF Mr.
Ca!";.h from the list of Presidential candidates
MIR. Adams had considerable number of friends
in Pennsylvania. They were however among
the discreet AMI unobstrusive portions of 81 .
popuatloa, and on this account were uerhaps
u acquaintcd1 ;tu tl.eit own strength, whilst
the more ciamorous partizans of other candidates
were induced to believe themselves morc M
mcrous than would probably have accorded
WITH the fact. at this period however the par
~ oil MIR. Adams received a large accession, as
oy iar the greater part ofthe supporters of Mr.
calhoun preferred him in the second instance 10,
any other individual.-Tbc short period of time
that interviewed between the datc of Mr. Cal
houn's being withdrawn, an QUO ;occtihg of lie
t!arrisPrcs S,,,, cIition prevented proper steps
beng taken to ascertain this fact, and to unite
aud consolidate these previously jarring interests
The proceedings Of the Convention, bettorned
upon tho principles OF conciliat;eD and coropro-
misc, succeeded, by nominating Mr.. Calhoun
as Vice President, in preventing any -co.nbina-
ton Of parties to place NIr. Adams formally be-
fore the people of PENNSYLVANIA as their most
prominent candIiate.
we mention the shove facts in order 70 de-
monstrate that the number of Mr. Adams friends
in Pennsylvania IS by no means contemplate
That IN fact he is ut least the SeC0'I IN the
estimation of tbis democratic community as
relates to the Presidential question. This
being the case Can there be any i,nprcrricty
IN suggesting the necessity Of meetings IN the
different coag.ies OF the state for the purpose of
nstIuctipg tiFcir electors so TO oct as that
their votes may not be altogether uselsss'
IL it should appear to be morally impossible.
