Mr.. Adams, 10 Inc Presidency Oh lhe ohteo oa'so'
indulges in strain Of matter not strictly relevant
but which suited his own taste as ne, doubtless
expected it would that OF his readers. 1t must be
That the British editor has no Irish patrons, else
surely he would not be so baretaced as to tell them
f even on the authority Of another, that Engiano
was contrnding for the common liberties oil man
|kind.'' The editors philippe against republican
ism is no bad comment OIL the manner IN whlcn
Britain contends for The liberties OF mankind Inc
\ government which provoked the American coloniss
into resistance to the mother country, is essentially
the same now, as it then; and agrees perfectly
with the editor of the Courier, when he proclaIms
that Democrats IN power are generally despotic
The British Government hates whatever sasours
Of popular power; The British editor, with congo
lnial feeling, strikes the word people from his po-
litica nomenclature, and substitutes the phrase
is mob" jackson" says the Courier, SIS the
fayorte of the tAmerican) mob, because the mob
is always servile."-" The mob Of England were
for Cromwell, the mob Of Rome for Caesar, and the
mob of France for Bonaparte.' We would advise
the British editor be cautious in his experiments
on the temper or patience OF MODS. MODS are The
support of governments: expel the mob from Eng
Hand and what will remain but a wretched, conlemp'
tble a.isocracy. AS to The United States OF Amer
lica there is there but one class aud that OF course
a mob expe1 that, and there will remain but All
Iunlnhabed wilderness. 1t should, however, be
remarked, that the American mob Is not serylle
one il is the legitimate representative OF that NIB
which played such antic tricks at Bunkers Hill, al
Saratoga, and at York Town it is the same in
cha after and in soul, the same amphtbious animal,
witch, al a later period, cut such ugly capers at
Champlan and al Erie, at Baltimore and at New
Orleans. Sersilily belongs not TO an American
mob, but rather to their betters to great folks who
crowd the purlieus Of St James, occupy the
seats in ST. Stephens Chapel. 1t would be well il
the English people could be made to forget what
an English mob effected during the proectoraie OF
Cromwell We have no design on the lives oil
George the fourth, or of Charles the tenth we
think their heads would be quite as safe If the ed-
tor OF the Courier would say less about Cromwelan
and Bonapartean mobs. Globe & Emerald.
The appointment Of Mr.. Kag, to represent the
Unted States at the Court oil ST. James, has given
umbrage TO certain politicians, who have been so
act usomed TO apply the test of party to individual
talents and character, thai their depraved ntellecs
can admit other standard of fitness. BY these
sell appointed ,,augeis Of merit Nj. King has been
tried and rejecled and his appointment by The
new Exc uti,e is seized on by lew disconnected
Editors, to ascei tain what extent an opposition
may be thus preniaturely raised against the Ad i
|minlstraon oil Mr. Adams. The effort is too ab.
surd TO be for a moment sustained by the good
sense OF the country. ! he day has passed away
when great and uDalterable principles were forced
10 bend TO chanSeabe and controyertible forms-the
mere offspring OF tircuastances-the result OF &C
cident; and the durall n Of which could only be
conte mporaneous with the necessity which gave
them existence Neither the situation nor the cir.
cumstances OF the country seem to require that
talent and Integrity should be prescribed, ON the
mere ground OF discrepancies oil opinion, which both
time aud the improved capacity OF our republics
have combined to Reader obsolete. 1t is time that
IIusler conce pit ons and more expanded sentiments
should exhl bit their influence on our domestic policy
The policy dictated by the natural terrors of infancy
should now be superseded by the more manly cha .
racter oil maturer age We have passed those crises
IN our history when our union was shaken by the
conclusions OF party violence Such crises cannot,
|sga'A occurs and II the danger of disunon from
party dissenslons Is renewed why should our policy
be SUI married by the odious feature OF party pro-
lscriplion.
The incipal objections which have been raised
against Mr.. hng are Ills vote on the Missouri cues
ton, and his sentiments on slavery. In other
words, he has entertained opinions, on these cues
tons, at variance with the sentiments of the maio
rity but does II follow that he will therefore, be the
less faithful 10 representing the interests of his coun
try at foreign cour,a II we allow the PROPOSE
ton at all, we must allow in Its fullest extent, and
u wll then preclude every prominent politician in
the Union Tor who is he that has never voted in
minority! What connection can be traced betw cen
ne missouri question and our commercial and DO
lilicai intercourse with Great Britain! If there can
4 be found no connection, now does the vote of MI.
King on that question, unfit him for the situation
Of Minister TO Loudon? Other questions Of much
HI her Importance, than such relate to his vote on
that question, may be a,ked and if they can be
answered in the affirmative, he trivial objections
which have been so inconsistency urged, can have
,out itie effect on unprecedented judgments. Is he
hones, Is ne capable! Public experience has
proved him to be both honest and Capable in lime.
