for Mr.. CRAWFORD, to defeat Mr.. ADAMS with
more certainty" is not the fact, and Mr.. Potter
challenged to adjuce any proofs 10 substantiate
the assertion. Mr.. ROBBINS was the jealous and
ndefatigable friend Of Mr.. CLAY, and when the
then Secretary Of State assumed the Executive
Chair, he publicly expressed his entire satisfaction
and this was done too. when he had not the most
remote idea of reaching that distinguished post Of
honor which Ire has ably filed 10 the entire sat
isfaction of his constituents.
Can it he possible that Mr.. POTTER could, with
all the evidences Of hi, own department before him,
set forth sentence, which one word will destroy
As to myselGsays Mr.. Potter, was for Mr.. Craw-
ford, but upon knowing the state of his health and
,he apparent disposition the people in this State
for Mr.. Adams, gave ii [himl up cheerfully.
What sad alienation Of the faculties of rctcn-
tioh, is dscoverable 10 this paragraph and it is TO

with the Science of Mnemonics science so very

ofjogging his memory, shall take the liberty to
quote word or two from what he called Speech,
delivered in the Courthouse in this town, sixty
five days previous to the Presidential Election In
rising in his place, he remarked that he was happy
TO find the house full of the opposer, of that turn
coat, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, though he was sppre-
hensive that some Of the persons present had met
with very sudden conversion. We came here.
continued Mr.. POTTER, "to get upa ticket of un-
pledged Electors TO defeat the election of ADAMS,
and am sorry to find there individuals, who are
disposed to oppose us in our views. II they want

much like Gen. JACKSON, but if no other man can
beat ADAMS, for Gods sake give US the General

the twenty-ninth day of November, 1924, that MIR.

IT was not till that late period thut he discovered
that the health ofMr. CRAwFonp was such as to
forbid his taking the reins Of government, even if

Informed that this important fact did arrest tho
attention of the South-Krpgstown gentleman, till
that late hour, when it is embered that as early
as the month of June of tha, year, MIR. ELEAzER
EARLY, Mr.. CRAwFoRDs Political Agent, public
y declared that his patron had suffered apopectiC
shock, and was then in a situation which threatened
his carly dissolution. That Mr.. Porter should be
thus ignorant of the state Of Mr.. CRAwFoRp's
health is somewhat sngular--but as he has stated
the fact, we will not dispute him.
He also declares that he believes the former
friends Of Mr.. CRAwFoRD will as cordially and eff.
fectually support Mr.. ADAMS. as his early and
warmest friends, and much more SO than those who
came in at the eleventh hour. Has he had any
JuNtiy hssertiou, Ut Hhs ne VI asso'
ciates given any evidence that they will support
the adninist, alton! We deny the premises. He
talks about friends coming in at the eleventh hour,
and if there be any such individuals, they certainly
ate entitled to more confidence than he is, or any
other pretended Adamsites, who asked tor admit
tance al halfpaa one. And what, it may be asked,
can the friends of the Administration expect from
ELISHA r.. Porter!

ofthe town Of Providence by booing and booing'
with as determined zeal ever agtated the heart
Of Cesar. But he may" boo and boo as long as
he peases, he will not succeed in gaining the sup
port Of the town of Providence Let us, however,
for moment. listen to what he says relative to his
love and attachment for this community
"Be it SC, I have always had the greatest respect
for the town OF Providence, and when out OF the
State have always spoken Of them with pride and
pleasure. as the most intelligent industrious, enter
prising people that had ever seen, and know
nave among them many valuable personal friends,
and sha at all times regret very much doing any
thing that would hurt their feelings thor in:er-

This dose will not be swallowed, and 1t will be
well enough TO inform Mr.. PoTTsR, that the citi-
