RIO of Vermont, was persuaded by Mr.. Bayard
IF Delaware to withdraw, that the vote OF that
State nigh, be given to Mr.. Jefferson, and thus
eject hrs election. Every one who was at THIS
time on the Gage will recolect the great sensa-
ton which this conduct on the pari OF the House
accustomed, and .he loud call on all quarters ior
spch an amendment of the constitution as would
nreven,. the possibility of such state ofthings
again occurring. AS the alteration was render
ed necessary from the course pursued by the
federal members, to agree readily to amend the
constitution on account of that course wouid
imply cen.ure of their own party, which was
not TO be expected from the federal members oil
the Senate. 1t was perfectly natural that they
should oppose the amendment, and so they did
to a man. If Mr.. Adams had acted with them
on party grounds, he would have been more
likely than any other member TO have opposed
this amendment, as it resulted out OF contest
in which Jefferson was the successful compe-
,itor against his father. But Mr.. Adams took
no such course, and was actuated by no party
considerations. He came out openly and advo-
Gated an amendment which should prevent a ST.
milar occurrence TO the contest between Jener-
son and Burr 1t appears to US that TINS TACT
alone is conclusive, that MIR. Adams did not act
on party grounds, nor against the republican
party or principles. ~ gos SSltoi"'J ~ So''
sidered at the time by the republicans through
out the Union.
The other measure Of this session to which
we alluded was the purchase ofLouisiana. This
measure was calculated to shed much lustre O.
yer this administration, and to add SO much to
its popularity that it was natural to expect that
those who wished to put this administration
down should endeavor to make as many obJec-
tons to it as possible, and particularly Mr.. A
dams, If he had acted on such grounds on &C.
count of the rivalry we have alluded to between
his father and Mr.. Jefferson. This measure
was opposed by all the federal members oil the
Senate. But MIR. Adams openly advocated It,
and his speech on that occasion is reported IT
the National 1ntelligencer. In it he said, VI
consider the object as of the highest advantage
to us; and the gentleman from Kentucky him
self, who has displayed with SO much eloauene'
\ the immense importance to the Union OF TIT
possession Of the coded territory, cannot carr!
his ideas on that subject farther than do.
| We have reviewed the course OF MIR. Adams
for the first year of his holding seat in the Sc
nate, and for the three years after his return
from Europe, and we ask where is the evidence
of his acting with the federal against the re
publican party? alDNE1'

uAppJC RIIPEH CONVENTION

The approaching Manufacturing Convention
at Harrisburgh, which assemblies on the 3oth
July, is attracting more and more attention in
the Northern States. New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, have already moved in it. Meet
ings for the purpose Of selecting deputies, took
place at Wilmington, Delaware, and at Rutland,
Vermont, on the 27th June; OIL the 2sth, at
Newport, r. and the 9th at Baltimore; and
the l7,h at Pittsburgh. In addition, a meeting
is called at Albany on the 10th instan,-at
Poughkeepir, at Utica, and Argyle, county
towns-preparatory to State Convention. The
whole Western part Of the State is unanimous
for protecting tariff The assemblage at
Harrisburgh will probably be great, and exhi-
Bit much talent. The object Of their assem-
blage is calculated to arrest the attention Of the
whole Union.
Mr.. Giles has set stone rolling by his alb
stract and metaphysical legislation which it
will require more than abstraction and meta
physics to stop. The recoil of his resolutions
was foreseen and foretold. The thunders Of the
Richmond Vatican are no longer heard with
respect. The denial Of the constitutionality
OF tariff, the second act passed under the con-
siiiution of '89, and never before denied by the
most wire-drawn and hair splitting expouncers
of the Constitution, has alarmed not only the
entire manufacturing interest, but all who have
the integrity Of the Union at heart. Protection
to the rights of the States is not so much seen
in it, as hostility to the rights of the General
Government-rights equally essential as those
Of the States TO the preservation Of the consti.
tutional balance Men cannot but ask them |
selves why none Of these complaints Of the pow
er and oppression of the General Government,
we're heard under Jefferson and Madison!-
Were mt the same measures of roads and the |
tariff then prosecuted? Did not Mr.. Giles, ct

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION-No. "
Five Of the eight years Of Mr. Jefferson's Ad
ministration, Mr.. Adams held a seat in the Sc
nate of the United States. we proceed now to
the examination of his conduct, whilst mem
Der of that body. In the Senate Of the United
States, the committee were, at that time, as at
the present, elected by ballot. 1t is a parlia-
mentary rule TO commit measures TO those
friendly to them No surer test then can be Sc
lected, as 10 the light in which member is
viewed in a legislative body than the exhibit
ton of the committees on which he has served
A large majority Of the Senate were most friend
ly to the Administration, and of course they
would not, so wsntonly transgress the usual
course of parliamentary proceeding. as to com
nit, as was done the session before the last,
1925 1926, the favorite measures of the admi-
nisrration to- those hostile to them. We shall
therefore present a list OF the committees on
which Mr.. Adams was placed during each year
Of his being member of the Senate. In doing
this we shall adopt the summary from articles
which appeared in the National Journal
in 1928, originally published in the Salem
Register under the signature OF Fenella. To
this writer we are indebted for most Of the
views and facts taken in the present papers
having never seen them con,roverted or any at
temp, made to controvert them. We shall al
so examine Mr.. Adams's course in relation 10
those measures Of the several sessions, which
had any bearing on party politics.
First Session, 1854.
At this session Mr.. Adams was placed on all
the committees in relation to the purchase OF
Louisiana, also on all the committees IN rela-
ton TO the form of government for that terrific
~. On the committee in relation to offences
against the United States, on the committee of
enrolment and other important committees.
AT this session two very important measures
were adopted, in which the republican and fede-
raj members took opposite sides, in both of
these measures Mr.. Adams acted with the re-
publican members-we allude to the amend
ment of the constitution in relation to the cleo
tion of President and Vice President and the
purchase Of Louisiana.
At the time of the irst election Of President
Jefferson, it will be resollected that he had an
equa'-at with Aaron Burr, and that the feje-
raj memess the House at thirty-6 i've ballots

INDIAN SACRIFICE.
Fton the Democratic Press.

A late Missouri paper contains a letter from
Mr.. Wetmore, an Americap officer at Council
Bluffs, relating the incidents attending the at.
tempts ofMr Dougherty, the agent of Indian af.
fairs, 10 save a female prisoner from being sa-
crihced by the Pawnee Indians, according to
their custom. Mr. Dougherty, two or three Of.
icers, and an escort, from the garrison, left the
Bluffs, Fort Atkinson) on the 5th Of April last,
and reached the grand Pawnee village in FIVE
days. They were told that the captive had been
sometime fat,sning for the sacrifice, and that
the execution was to take place the next day,
the fuel and all the materials being prepared
The captive was Paiuca woman, who had
been captured by war-pary two or three
months before. The chiefs and warriors met in
council, and no argument or persuasion was
spared by Mr. Dougherty to obtain the release
Of the intended victim. The principal men Of
the tribe seemed disposed to give her up to the
Americans, but the women and children and
few men were clamorous for the sacrifice. The
medicine-man,o or chief juggler, ap2e AIRED among
them, and after some flourishes, said he could
SO arrange the medicine as 10 secure plenty Of
buffalo and corn without burnt offering. The
captive was then led into the council lodge
with evident marks Of distress, and audible e1-
pressions Of grief, but after she was appraised of
the interpostion in her favor, her face was
Frightened with smile. No one present could
speak her language, ane all communication
with her was by signs. The next day she was
delivered to the Americans, who placed her on
a horse and started for the Bluffs. They had
not proceeded far, when two Indians, who had
to kill the woman, sprahs from
their concealment, and one Of them let fly an
arrow at her, which passed through her buffalo
robe, and inflicted mortal wound in her side. !
A scuffle ensued, during which some disafec,ed
Indians came up, bore off the captive, and threw
her down on the ground, still alive. Two hun.
bred warriors from the village Immediately as
sembled around her, that they might dip their |
weapons in her blood. After her death the A. |
nericans proceeded homeward.
From Mr.. Wetmore's account of the Indian
Council, we extract the following:

POETRY.

Messrs. Editors: The following lines, address
ID to lady Byron, are considered, by Sir Walter
Scott, as the finest production of Byron:
There is a mystic thread oflife.
sodearly wreath'd with mine alones
: That destiny's relentless knife
At once must sever both or none.
There is n form on which these eyes
Have often yazed with fond delights
B, Jay that torn their JOY supplies,
And dreams restore il through the night.
There is voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills of rapture through my breast
would not hear a seraph choir,
Unless that voice could join the rest
There is face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the cheek;
But pailid, at one fond farewell,
Proclalms more love than words can speak.
There is lip, which mine hath pressed,
And not had ever press'd BEFORE,
Nyow ed to make me sweetly blessd'
And mine--mine only press'd 1t more.
There is a bosom-ali my own
Hath piiiow'd oft this aching head:
A mouth, which smiles on me alone,
And eve whose tears with mine arc shed.
There are two hearts, whose movements thrill
In unison so closely sweet!
That pulse TO pulse, responsive STILL
That both must heave-or cease 10 oea'.
There are two souls, whose equal how
In gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they part-they psrt!-ah, no.
They cannot part-these souls are one;

NOT the Constits,ion then, what It IS now. An

What, then, is the reason OF the present oissa'
tisfaction! A Northern, instead OF southern
man is President. Mr.. Giles is the sire OF the
Harrisburgh Convention.
