CoRAM's CHAMPION.-When the President Of
the United States, accompanied by his son. Mr..
CHARLES ADAMS, was passing through Now
York 10 pay the last sad and reverential duties
to his honored parent, who was Mt that time siunl
berng in the grave-at a moment when this nat on
was offering to the the memory Of the illustrions
dead their grateful and tributary feelings Of re-
.pcct Corams Champion, took occasion to assa
the latter gentleman, with the grossest abuse; and it
even had the unblushng vanity TO say, that Mr..
ADAMS visited New York 10 put dopn that pressW
All parties frowned Indignantly at such scnnda-
]ous proceeding, and the cast off Chaplains, finding
that they had engaged in bad cause, and in one
which could not fail to draw iniigna ion. upon
them subsequently came out in whining and sick
ly apology, for their conduct. Hear their sickly
strains:
ut is the destiny of man to err. II is his misor-
tune to be deceived. When we say did wrong.
il is but TO say, "we wiser to-day than we were
Yesterday" Even our friends have had the can.
dor 10 tell us, that we were wrong in publishing
paragraph, referring to Mr.. CHARLES ADAMS, in
our paper of she 9Th instant, that young gentle
man was then covered with such weeds Of mourn
ing as would prevent an answer. We fully appre-
cate the sentiments which dictated these reprooi.,
for we sons aud fathers. The columns OF our
paper intended to be pure. We do not intend
to draw tears from any one; except they are those
Of pity AMI mercy. We could not add weight %
any mans Affections. Heaven is our witness, that
personal feelings could prevent us from relieving
the distresses or misortunes Of our bittercst ene
nies--if any enemies we have; and we certain.
that we deserve none. We regret that the para
graph was published, at that moment, and uuder
such circumstances"
After this TRADE of nonsense, they 60 on to say
that they shed "great tears of blood when they
heard OF the death of the elder ADAMS, and that
they ordered the paragraph so offensive to decency
and tho common feelings of mankind, to he taken
out. Listen again to the whining, sycophantic hy-
pocritcs, who one day write paragraph and the
next disown il.
When shedding tears over the notice which he
had taken of Mr.. .Add,nss death, the proof was
brought him, and the paragraph was instantly orr
dered to be taken out. The proof Of that which
appeared was read before, ond 1t not remem-
conduct be crime, and il one of us must be black
ened with hypocrisy, for pouring out the efusions
Of pure heart over the memory Of man every
way venerated, we submit Neither Of the para
graphs were written without cause-hut neither
would have been published, at that time, il super
abounding feelings had not made US forget the one
which was returned to the office. This explains
tion will satisfy every honest mind.'
Was there ever any thing more disgusting than
the conduct Of these hypocrtca cdst-ct Chdpfa'ns'
who are so pure in heart" that they can at one
moment throw their withering blasts on the graves
OF the illustrious and vrtuous dead, and at the
next shed crocodile tears over the names OF those
whom they blasphemed. Gentlemen east.of
Chapldins," "here our civilites end" The para
graph you devoted to US, we shall preserve sacred
and nviolatc, to prove your entire absence TO
~ claim on our attention.
