The Stamford News, an English Journal Of re-
specability, has the following remarks on the late
Presidential election.
y Contrast-John Quincy Adams, President Of
the United States is the Of the second President
that ever ruled over America, the well known and
peaceful successor of Washington~-the Numa Of
the United States; and if we may Judge from the
principles which he has taken the first occasion oil
teslying, he is we'll worthy Of the honor which such
an elevation confers. The manly planness and sim
plicity OF the form of his inauguration deserves
tice. Think Of the childish ceremonies, the idle
pagean;ry, The ridiculous mummeres, the holy oil,
the feathers, lurs, and trumpery OF coronation In
Europe, as contrasted with this dignfed scene AT
Washington, in the capitol, Mr. Adams, in plain
suit of black, ascends the Speakers chair, pronoun
ces his address to his fellow citizens, walks 10 The
table of the Judges, and on volume oil the laws of
the United States reads his oath of office, and thus
the magistrate OF mighty state is installed -'Look
on this picture and then on that'-lf, as English
men, we blush at the comparison in one respect we
feel glow OF exultaton in another, at the thought
of the superior wisdom and truer greatness OF that
country, which owes, at any rate, its birth to ours
America is the child Of England, and is perhaps
destined perpetuate the memory off its parent who
should iec nothing like envy and Jealousy at the en-
dowments of its usrious offspring, and still less
exhibit any thing like derison at the imperiectons
of her ncipient constitution and policy, whilst here
we are submitting to such things the sic acts J;
the 1.-THE system, standing army and an enormous
tardtion and our neighbours the Irish, to military
lac and religious persecution We even ought to
beg of The Americans to forgive our naughty airs
Of superiority, to forget, while they contemplate
with just pride their well organized navy, that MIR.

lO,O57 persons have been added to the churches, by
baptism, according to the returns in the Minutes of

number, as well as the number Of churches, minis

INTERESTING u BlLEE.--A party Of la
dies and gentlemen met the 10Th June at the
spring Of Daniel Morgan, esq near Shepherdstown
Va. TO celebrate the day, Pursuant to an arrange
ment made FIFTY YEARS AGO. 1t appears that in
the Spring Of 1775 two volunteer companies were
raised one 10 Winchester, the other in Shepherds
town, as the quota Virginia had been required to
furnish. They turned out for twelve months, fur
nished their own rifles and equpage, and marched
10 Boston in 81 days. They were commanded by
Hugh Stephenson and Daniel Morgan, afterwards
Col. Stephenson and Generq Morgan) On the 10th
of June, l775 and previous to their departure, Col
VIM Morgan gave barbecue TO Siephenson's
company, at the spring above mentioned; and the
heroes of the company made an engagement that
the survivors should meet at that spring on that day
6ftv wears to come - which agreement has thus
been fulfilled But Of the nnety-seven who conf
posed the company fire only are living, and OF the
five, only TWO were present, the others being pre-
vented by age and intrmity. Those present we're |:
Mai. Henry Bediager. of Berkely, Va. and Maj
Michael Bedingpr of Kentucky. The other three
are Judge Robert While of Winchester, Va. Gen.
Samuel Findley and William Halse, esq. Of Ohio.
Two patriotic songs, the same that had been sung
there fifty years ago, sung. .4na Lang
.Sune" was played, and, before breaking up, the
company agreed that the survivors should celebrate
the day at the same place twenty-five years hence.

COTTON SnOE THREAD.

Shoc-makers will long deny, and at last
reluctantly acknowledge, that cotton
thread Is better for shoes than flax; but a
shoe Wearer aud shoe buyer knows the
Fact, and wishes To communicate it To the
SONS of ST. Crispin and to the public
Cotton thread is slow to rot, swris and
dlstcnds by moisture more than flax, and
hence The seams Of shoes, well closed by
the former, never rip.-Shoes thus made
are worth 10 or II per cent. more than il
made with flax but 10 the Workmen the
use Of cotton is less agreeable, requiring
more care to prevent the breaking of the
thread and some skill IN attaching the
brlstle.-Any difficulty standing in the
way of old habits, is iosnrmountahe by
common minds hence the necessity OF
good brisiles, some little trouble in rough
eninG them " it'll II kulle 10 make them adj
here, and less carclessness IN sowing, will
hong be formidable barriers Ia the way oi
this Improvement. Shoe makers sland IN
the prcdicamrnt of Peter Pipdar's razor
Her. Makers and buyers have separate
aud discordant interests. Alasons and
bricI>ayers, according to professor Olm
cad, and according to my own costly
experience, use more than double the
q mtity of lime that the good Of their
work requires, merely because their own
iabours are lessened by ii. Though shoe
makers, for very good reasons as concerns
themselves, will doubtless coudemu the
use Of cotton thread, buyers aud Wearcrs
will consult their own interests The dis
parity in the value Of shoes made To sell
and those made 10 wear, will be greater
hereafter than ii is at present if these hints
receive the attention they deserve.
