reduced to a certainty, that the majority oil the
members are not only opposed to the Administra-
ton, but TO the reelection of John w. Taylor. If
this be the fact, will gentlemen see the propri-

or character of Mr.. Taylor to recommend him TO

OF putting more suitable man of their party into

be constrained to vote for him. Does any

The Boston Gazette attempted to justify the
understanding that is said to have TAX en- place be-
tween Messrs Adams and Webster, relative to the
provision to be made for the Federal party That
paper said, " AS the federal republicans had been
prescribed By some former Manifestations, W. see
no nnpropyiety in some of that class of citizenr
wishing to know, before they gave their support
to Mr. Adams, whether he also was disposed to
pfoscrihs them" The Gazette now bubbles and
s"ys nOI OelieVe tnat q bargain was made
as charged,' or justfes it, if so made. Very
well, gentlemen your denial of having spoken by

NAL that Mr.. Adams had promised him Gin any
form) that the federal party should be well rro-
vided FRI and that he consequently voted for
him. There is positive issue in this matter made
up between Messrs Adams and Webster. The
N K. American denied the whole story on Mr..
Adams authority and the denial of the Boston
Gazette was thought by (not by us) to be
on the authority of Mr. Webster But it turns out
now that The Gazette "spoke il. own opinion
merely without consultation or advice from any
one. This removes the necessity of any refer.
ence to others, and leaves the issue fairly Joined
between The contracting parties. If the matter
stops here, the people will believe Mr. Adams. or
they will put their own construction upon what
has been said, and on Mr.. Webster's silence. as
they please.
