The Hon. JNo. BARNEY,
Baltimore, Md.

The following dispassiona'e and just reAec-
,ions, on the state of national parties, are from
the pen OF the able Editor Of the Baltimore A
merican:
Party spirit is thought by many honest poll
tcians to be far from uniriendly to free govern
ments. 1t is believed to begervigiance on one
side, and caution on the other. Since difference
OF opinion is unavoidable, 1t is we'll that some
good grows out Of it; and so far as il proceeds
on the honest and calm conviction of either par
", il were as ridiculous as il is useless 10 decry
it, But party spirit implies either rash and vi
client judgments, proceeding out OF the heat OF
controversy, or deliberate and systematic hos
tiliiy to an obnoxious party, whether ITS mea-
sures be right or wrong. AT first view an no.
nest man shrinks from the idea Of having his
Judgment betrayed or his conscience sacrificed,
by either Of these errors.
But il is cf,en alledged, and oftener practise
than avowed, that when party in power is
wrong either in its principles or in the general
tenor of its measures, even its jus, acts may be
honestly assailed by this systematic opposition,
Tor the purpose OF weakening its influe nee, and
replacing ii by better men. Besides tina, there
IS something IN this course which shocks our
natural integrity, even its policy in the end is
very questionable. Indiscriminate abuse is ra-
Their serviccabe to the abused Men Of plain,
calm way Of thinking, suspect in such cases
either the judgment or the honesty Of the railer;
and martyrs in politics, no less than in religion,
come al last TO engage a sympathy III their be-
hall, from that universal indignation which men
feel at injustice.
Those who have observed the course Of the
opposition in the las, session Of Congress, may
probably deem them 10 have fallen into this err
The principal source of the obioquy Of
the present administration with them, is its
mode Of coming into power. Were we to al
low the points 10 be satisfactorily proved, that
Mr.. Adams holds his post in contradiction to
the wishes of the majority of the people, it is
only an argument, ct last, agains, his re-elec-
lion, ard the conclusion would be far from fol-
lowing that every act Of his, chosen as he is, the
Executive Of the Country, IS to be opposed
whether right or wrong. We will not assert
that this has been done, and still less that every
member Of the opposition has done SO with his
eyes open to the Truth. That, on some points,
a difference Of opinion has truly existed, it
would be very rash in US to deny; but that this
will account for every act OF the opposition, the
