crous story is told, am half inclined to
think am the hero, and slight laugh
and shrug Of the shoulders will entire

Misery haunts me every where: when

door and run away. | have been AVA
kcned hundred times from little nap
in my back parlor by these little rascals.
Sometimes | have gone to the door IN ex
pectation Of beholding some friend who
might sooth my melancholy: open the
door--poke ont my head-perhaps cold
winter night-and no one to be seen. 4
stif1ed laugh meets my ear, and ! see the
coat-tail Of some raggamuffin little ras
cal Just turning the corner. Oh, the vii

poor basin, fell and dashed to pieces. |

a knock-Betty went to the door, and
returned with the news that there was no
one there. Now, thought I, they shall
be punished-another knock" quick,

utmost caution I crept up to the window,

attached to the knocker, and these tor

were thus amusing themselves at my eX-

Oh tie qualifications OF the Tespectsys candidates,
to perform all the duties of President Of the Uni
ted States, in relation 10 both our foreign and
domestic concerns. III my views upon the subject
be correct, it follows, that the idea OF obligatory
instructions from a state, concerning an election
OF President by the House, is mistaken one, and
inconsistent with the duty imposed on member BY
the supreme law OF the land.
With regard to persons, ] can only say that my
opinion of Mr.. Adams superior qualifications
(usng the word in its most comprehensive sense, }
for President of the United States, has been sim
cerely expressed, exposed TO the public, and adj
hered to in Missouri, and still remains unchanged
If called on for my reasons, might assign
LIST. That he is superior, as tbeore,ic and prac-
teal satesm and dipiomatist; is best acquainted
with our foreign, and equally so, with our domestic
relations; and not inferior, in talents, requirements,
patriotism and integrity, to any Of our public cha
racters.
2d. That such a President from the northern
states, at this time, would do more towards remov-
ing those local prejudces and anmoses among
the people of the United States, which sprang out
OF sectional personal contests for political ascen-
dancy, and in perfecIing union in fact, we'll as
on paper, in this nation, than President from the
south or west could probably do, at this stage OF
our national progress.
81. That believe he would promote, at least
as far any other of the candidates, those great
measures so essential 10 our national independence,
and permanent welfare, and in which our north
western states Of local considerations be, in any
degree, admissible, are and must be, from their
geographical position, and natural connections, al
ways mainly interested.
4th. And might no,r add, that | am unwilling
TO separate, upon this subject from the states in
our quarter oil the Union, with which must al
ways have community of essential interests, un-
less paramount considerations of national welfare de-
mand the separation.
The great object of the people is to have their CO.
vernment, such they have made it, faithfully and
ably administered and preserved, and their right.
and homer with foreign nations, maintained and
promoted They care less for men, localities anc
party watch-words, than do the enthusiastic poll
| ticians and the ambitious aspirants Respectfully
| your obedient servant, DAVID BARTON.

An elector, acting under the immediate creation

state or district that made him an eector
When the election devolyes upon the House Of
Representatives, voting by states, under the au-
thorty OF the people OF the United States, - it is
manifest, that the members are not bound by the
preference Of their respective states; for il they

election by the House, would I've nugatory. Ia the
one case, The Votes given under power delegated
