remarks IN reply to those profound and 6beyaI
politicians, who ianced they saw, in the offer to
MIR. Clinton of the mission to England, and in
his refusal to accept it. motives, both on the mart
of Mr. Adams and the Governor, beyond the
mere TeclProcation of compliment but the
following, which we find in the Commercial Al
yertiser of New York, animadverts upon the
subject so much more fully than we had leisure
to do, that we very gladly substitute ii for what
we had written.-.NH. Jour-
From The Men York Commercial .4arcrtiyer.
II has been industriousy stated that the norni.
nation of MIR. Clinton, as minister TO ENGLAND
was device of Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Cl3v To
Danish him, as it were from the country. and
thus prevent bin from being competitor fnr
the Presidential prize, four years hence. This
is not so: Neither Mr. Adams nor Mr. CLAW are
governed by such short-sghted views and con.
tracted feelings as these. And since we have
dealt somewhat in conjecture above, we NAV.
perhaps, be allowed TO conjecture little below
as it respects the leading motives which induced
Mr. Adams to offer the mission to Mr.. Clinton.
1t is probable that MIR. Adams considered
himself more indebted to New York for his cleo
ton, than to any other State in the Union He
would, of course, feel disposed to honor her with
some prominent mark Of favOr-more especially
from the commanding character Of the State. in
population, wealth. talent, and re- ources. And
in selecting for some elevated station one other
most distinguished sons, in gancing over the
state, his eye would naturally rest upon MIR.
Clinton. Mr.. 4. well knew that Mr. G.. had not
used any active exertons 10 ensure his election.
But passing this matter by, as worthy alone of
the consideration oflitle minds, he looked only
at the qualifications of Mr.. &. 10 discharge the
high trust proposed TO be confded to his hands
But Mr.. Adams had other reasons, of great
weight and Importance, to influence his selection
of MIR. Clinton, for this mission. We have Sc
veral important subjects Of negotiation pending
with the British Cabinet to conduct and bring
which to favourable issue, requires the firstta-
Tents in the country. The most important of
these subjects to the state Of New York, IS ON.
right 10 the free navigation ME riUcr ST. Lar
renCe. In fact, the State Of New York is almost
solely interested in this question. And Mr.
Adams well knew that no B,anin America was
better, so well qualified to discuss this ques-
ton, and conduct negotiation respecting If, as
Mr. Clinton. MIR. CIinton's fame is identified
with the prosperity aud glory Of the State. He
has made her interests his peculiar study, and
from the relations in which he stands, and
must ever stand, to the people of New York, no
man else could enter upon the negotiation with
the same feelings and energy, or with fairer pros
poets Of success.

The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-31

The following excellent advice was given by the
mother of tie chevalier BAYARD, to her son, when
leaving his fathers house to entera page into the
service Of Charles, duke of Savoy.
"Peter, my friend, you are going into the SER
vice of noble prince; as much as a mother can
command her child, do command you three things
which, if you do rest assured they will enable you
TO pass through this present life with honour. The
first is that you love and serve God, without offend
ing him in any way, if it be possible for you. For
it was he who gave life, it is he who will save U.S.
and without him and his grace, we should not have
power to perform single good work in this world
Recommend yourself to him every morning and
evening, and be will give you aid. The second is,
that YOU be mild and courteous to all gentlemen,
casting away pride. Be humble and obliging to
every body. Be not slanderer or liar Keep
yourself temperate in regard to eating and drinking
Avoid envy-it is mean vice Be neither hatter-
er nor talebearer, for people Of this description
do not usually attain to any high degree of excel
lcnce. Be loyal in word and deed Keep your
promises. Succour poor widows and orphans, and
God will regard you. The third is that you be
bountiful of the goods that God shall give you to
the poor and needy for, to give for his honour's
sake never made any man poor; and believe me,
