In compliance with orr promise, the pro-
ceedipvs ofthe Washington Committee IN re-
l,;on 70 the formation of selEgovernment
Cor This District, are inserted IN to-day's Ga
,e,te. The Address to the signers ct various
memorials 60 Congress on TINS subject, IS. IN
mn, estimation, a weak, selfish and rmpotent
nroduction, aboundmg in idle specnlanonN,
false reasoning, and palpahle misrePresen'a
tons, which can and win be exposed before
the matter is again presented to the cons''ier
,,;o, Of Congress. But, while we express
this general olnion of the Address, we admit
tha, something ought TO be done to better our
condition; and for The present, we see no 90
lection to the ppoposed Convention OF Dele
rates. TO be heldinwashington on the 25thmsf.
That such convention w;H be held by the
neonle on the other side of the water, Is, We
imagine reduced to a certainty; We therefore
believe il would be prudent for Alexandrs to
be represented by some of her most intelligent
citizens, in order to keep us well informed OF
the designs of those above, even though we
should now think, or hereafter fndh necessa-
~ 70 dissent from their splendid plans The
circumstances, too, ofthe rejection OF such an
Invitation, being susceptible of a construction
BY Congress, prejudcial to our interests
ought to have some weigh, in determining our
course. II may be said, that the proposition
for convention WAS reasonable and fa'ri and
the rejection oft, On our part, might De at
tr;buted to jealousy or some other unwarrant-
able motive. No doubt can exist that the IN.
des,,rable movers of Local Government viii
lake the most of every oversight committed
BY their opponents. To leave them as few OPP
portnnities, therefore, as possible, would seem
&c be our true policy.

tanned in the messages ofMr. Adams the elder.
internal improvements, national universities,
and obse~atories, the enlarge ment of the ju-
diciarv and executive departments and the
exploration of the north western country,
have completely thrown HIM off his balance,
and win. in all probability, produce relapse
of that dreadful malady that suspended his
Editorial labors during the last summer If
the trivial political disappointments which he
has heretofore experienced were sufficient to
endanger his mental faculties, what NAV not
be expected from this shocking blow
He starts at the idea of ''the mission to Pana
ma" and San overwhelming government"
and calls most vehemently forthe election of
William v. Giles to the Senate; which by the
bve, is the whole drift of his vehement stric.
lures. The editor of the Wig says, that
there is but one way in which Mr.. Adams can
hope to write per- feet Message. and that is.
by first consulting Thomas Richie, Esq
let Mr.. Ritchic furnish the ideas. and Mr.
Adams add the last polish, and then we shall
have great Message.
But the editor of the Wing is in error.
Even that course would not please Mr. Richie;
for he expressly declares that the style is as
exceptionable as the doctrines-says it is that
of an ambitious retorcian-no, of q solid
statesman; and gravelv asks if he is reading
state-paper, or schoo'-bov t''esis There
fore. in order 70 have perfect message. Mr.,
Adams must no, only allow "r. Richie 20 fur
