1.-THE former urged on the unpledged men OF the
State ticket of electors favourable TO his cand
with view more eGsetualiy TO defeat Mr.. .4dams,
was eager for ticket OF electorstwo ofwhom should
be favorable to Mr. Clay and the other two to Mr..
Crawford that il should result in no election by the
people, and in excluding Mr.. Adams from the House
they might then compromise aud act according to
circumstances. But Mr.. Robbins his become warm
and fast friend Of MIR. Adams aud the administration,
and he is supported on that ground. II not equal
" probable, judging from their acts before the
presidential election, that MIR. Potter VIII he friend

.Micrseosm Of Yesierday.
AsswEn-lu reply to the first sentence in this
paragraph we have to say, that nothing IN the con-
duct of Mr. Robbins, warrant the conclusion and
assertion, that Mr.. Daniorth has made. Mr.. Rob-
bins was in favor the election OF Mr.. Clay, but
hewas not, with view more eGtetuddy 10 defs0
Mr.. .iddEas. eager for ticket of electors, two ~:
whom should be favorable 10 Mr.. Clay, and the
other two to Mr.. Crawford.' The fact IL, Nr.
Robbins was ia favor of the election Of Nr. Clay.
and next TO him, Nr. Adams his candidate.-
This we always understood HIM were has feelings
But after he ascertained that the electoral vote OF
this State. could not be secured TO the Kentucky
candidate, he took no particular interest III inc al
fair and was Wiling that the people should give
their vote to whom they pleased. Mr. Adams was
elected, and from that moment, MI. Robbns has
been the Jealous supporter ofhis sdmtnetrat"n.
~, is not equally probable" says Mr.. Daniorh,
ajud,ing from there acts, before the P'esiienini
election that Mr. Potter, Will be friendly to the al
minstration" TO this we reply ia the negative,
and thus we reason. Mr.. Robbins wus IN favor of
MIR Clay uext to that gentleman, Mr.. Adams was
his choce--Air. Adams is elected, MIR. Clay ia Sec
rotary OF State q component andvcry material pait
of the administration, and holds office, second on
lv 10 the ono for which he canddate;and If Mr.
Robbins be the friend OF Tie Secretary he ia neces
sarily friend to the administration.
Mr.. Crawford was MIR. Potters candidate, next to
him, was ''any body except John Quincy Adams.
MIR Cra wford was defeated, esd Mr.. Adams was
elected, consequently Mr.. Potter has been disap-
pointed, and is friend to every body aud " any
BODY" except John Quincy Adams and bis admin
is,raton. Do you understand our logic, Mr.. Dam
FORTH
Ii is in vain, that Mr. Danforth, attempts to make
the people believe that MIR. Potter, s III favor OF
the administration, and hesitate not to suy, that
such declaration is not made on the authority OF
DR. Potter for we feel perfectly assured. that that
gentleman, will not at this late hour, deny ms hos
tility 10 the President AMI HI. cabinet, after having
publicly and unequivocay aud without parephra
sis announced his open hatred to tae executive and
ihe Secretary OF State--and denounced one "APos-
TArE,' aud the other ''FooL."
We shall not dispute with Mr.. D~nf"rth, about
the tasnts of Mr. Potter but shall leave hum TO the
enjoyment Of his own opinion on that SUBJECT, utter
amply remsrking that We are compelled III sober
sadness to lament the depravity ofhis taste.
