Mr.. .4dGmS.--It cannot but be remarked, and
the remark cannot but be highly honorable to this
gentleman, that while feud upon feud, and charge
upon charge, growing out Of the public, or private,
conduct Of every other candidate for the Presiden.
cy, are forced upon the notice of the people, he
at0ne, remains unmpeached, and unimpeachablp,
either in his moral or political career, as public
man.-Th fact is worthy of the serious considera-
ton Of the people. In the present temper of the
times, if it had been possible, by ransacking the
chronicles of public or private scandal, to find even
the shadoio Of scrupte, against the political and
moral integrity of Mr.. Adams, it isl to be doubt
ed, that it would have been arrayed against him in
Iall the blackness OF malice. But none such has
been found his life has been examined his earliest
thoughts have been rudely canvassed but not
word or deed, not sentiment act, has been dis.
covered by the most eager scrutiny, that would
not rather do him honor than injury by being bla-
zoned to the world We took occasion, the other
day. to advert TO the opinions of the President Gen.
Jackson and Mr. Calhoun, concerning Mr.. Adams
l-Ldudari a (auddtiS !; to receive commentator
from these, who themselves worthy of praise,
lis the highest honor which any man can receive !:
it is the highest ambition of vrtuous man. And
when TO the names already given, is added that Of
WaShineton-who said more in favor of MIR. A
dams, even while he was young and inexperienced,
than he said of individual in his SERVICE
what more can be wanting to guide the people of
the United States to the proper choice Of Presi.
dent ?--We have the firmest reliance upon the
good sense OF our countrymen, and it is this re-
lance which has all along made us confident of the
election of Mr.. Adams. While desertons WITH
or without, cause, are daily taking place from the
standard of every other candidate, we hear of none
from that of Mr.. Adams. On the contrary it may
be ssfely affirmed that every vote lost to every
other candidate, is so much gained to him. Wher-
ever change Of sentiment occurs, the change
adds to he number OF his friends. He is emphat-
icay the railying point of the people.-When.
ever they suffer the dictates Of and unimpas-
stoned Judgment to exert their due influence, all
parties turn to MIR Adams as the man to whom
they may safely con6de their dearest interests.

Etects Of inhating GaS-On Wednesday The
9TH of March, says the Cincinnati Emporium, a
son OF MIR Edward Powers, of this city, about ten
years OF age, with several lads, went to druggists
shop, for ether gas under p'etence Of procuring it
to take to the college. Several of them took it
without any serious effects, but unfortunately for
young Powers, from the quantity he took, soon he
became wild and frantic, discovering great strength.
He took hold OF the legs Of large man, and 'hrew
him on hi S back. Soon AFTER he manifested symp-
toms OF drowsiness-and continued so during the
afternoon. In the evening he went home, evident
Ivy unwell, complaining of heaviness-he went 10
bed. During the night, he groaned, and repeated
Ily asked Tor water. In the morning, his head was
very much swollen his temples dstended, and his
face much biosted with some fever. On his get
ting up, he soon became faint, with nausea al the
stomach, and considerable alarm was excited Tor
bis life Medical assistance was procured, and by
the application oil calhaItics the symptoms became
more favorable On Friday, when the Editor saw
him, he was considerably better, but his face was
still swelled with flushing, stupor still hung over
him. On Sunday last, he appeared to be recover
ed, but the heavinesS continued, with some fever.
He complains of continued pains in his head, and
10 all his limbs, with pains catching him on his at
tempting to move.
young lady in this city, with several others
was induced, Tor little sport, to take the ether gas
This young lady was Immediately taken with faint
ing tits and drowsiness. and Tor six weeks was un-
able to sit up, put up her hair. Her health seems
TO be much affected, and 1t is the opinion of her
friends it will long remain impaired.
We are sorry 10 mention another case which
we understand occurred about nine months since.
A young man bought portion OF ether gas al
