Extract letter from gentleman in New.York "a ..
Editor the Boston Courier.
NeaU- Hork, Oct 8, l826.-While Mr. No,h
| has borne testimony to the general correc,nes.
of my correspondence as far as he is Concerned
| was little surprised to observe the pecuI.,
exception taken to my account of the report r.
speeding Adams & Clinton, which has been bnb
bling on the surface of political society in New.
York. 'fhe understanding between Adams and
Clinton / never asserted as fact. By the
strange logic of our New,York Major, he has
taken it for granted that made the asser,io,
as matter of fact, and then commented UPON
it accordingly. This reminds me Of his reason.
ing when you yourself asked him some peril.
nent question respecting his attempt to Cast
stain upon the political character of Mr. Web.
ster. There is no way of replying 10 The D9I.
Cal Major, but that of carving the beligerent
interrogations home to himself How will h,
be able to answer the questions that am able
to put to him? Before state them however.
it may be we'll to say few words as an appeu-
dix 10 my last political disclosure.
Within the last fortnight the coteries Of poll
ticians question whether Clinton will not JOIN
his fortunes to General Jackson rather than 10
Mr.. Adams. Mr.. Clinton has number Of
friends in both parties. His supporters in tbs
state are half federaIists, and half democrats
The first wish him to support Adams; the las,
Jackson This will serve as key to the arr,
Gle of Maj or Noah on one Of my last letters
He is opposed to Clinton's compact win A.
dams, because he has little to expect IRON the
reelection of the latter. Clinton himself is
doubtful and keeps aloof. He is in political
quandary about the next presidency. luDdeF'
stand that Van Buren, has Joined his ol with
The Herkimer governor, Mr.. Rocheser. II
such is the case, both the republican and federal
parties Of our state will be divided on the sub
iect of the next presidential election Mr. Gin
ton will try to Carry as many democrats with
him as possible, and unite them with the iele-
ralists to support General Jackson; that IS TO
say, if he has completed his arrangement win
the Tennessean, or has given up all expectations
himself, for believe he himself has some hope
of being one of the presidential candidate
On the other hand, Van Buren, will hold great
number of democrats in his hand, and so win
them to the support OF the general government,
if he has made up his conflicting mind 10 IN"
course.
These things, you will observe, are paFlY
facts and partly speculalions. Men Of "u'"
and tact will know what importance 10 aua'"
to them Let me therefore pass to chara''.
Of whom can speak certain things, ana P1'

general administration, that he would supPo.'
Mr.. Adams if such and such an office were P.0,
pery disposed of? Did he not offer his po'u'i;tt
services through the columns OF his paPe';
certain valuable Office should be awaroto
him? Let your friend answer these queS"o",
If he makes good reply, have ie" lnDs
in keeping. Let me be understood now .,y
OH the nature Of political overtures NO H'' Ils
politician ever offers his services bareIaI'U%
There is polite mode Of doing equlvotIa'' M n
For instance, suppose friend oil Mr.. olI 70
Mr.. Adams should be in any newspaper o% ",
suppose he asks The editor why he oppose -,
Adams before he has shown himself dese' ,ni
of opposition. Then the editor can rep! Avn, ",
