proceedings and resolutions of so meapre an
assembly ought not to 60 before the country
uncontradicted, as they would be supposed to
furnish evidence Of the public sentiment in this
county, and that il would, therefore. be well to
have counter meeting. This suggestion was
favorably received, and it was determined by
the major party to express their attachment to
an Administration which has been so wantony
opposed and abused. They accordingly met at
the house of Mr.. James Salisbury, and organ
lied the meeting, by calling TO the chair a sol.
der of the Revolution, Mr.. J. Anthony. Mr..
J. T.Dunbar was appointed Secretary, and the
following resolutions were submitted, and una.
nimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we highly commend the pre-
sent Administration, and most heartily approve
their measures.
| Resolved, That should the Administration
proceed as i, commenced, and has continued,
JOHN Quincy ADAMS, who is so eminently qua.
lifted, in all respects, to fulfil the duties Of his
present elevated and responsible station, shall
receive, at the next Presidential election, our
warmes, aid, and our undivided support, by the
uniirins application of all fair and honorable
means
Resolved, That we have full confidence in the
talents and integrity Of john Q ADAMS, and
that we believe him TO be sincerely devoted TO
the welfare and glory Of the nation, 10 preside

Resolced' That We cordially disapprove the
practice, so much in vogue, OF exciting preju-
dice by vilifcation ard abuse against a Presi-
dental candidate, be he Adams or Jackson; and
that we think the only fair and rational means
of arriving at the decision of preference, is TO
compare virtue with vir,ue-to oppose talent

The following editorial paragraph on the sub
iect Of transferring the business Of printing for
the Senate, from the National Ineigehcer to

How manifold and convincing must have been
the proofs Of an utter destlulion of principle on
the part Of acknowledgements, when even Mr.Van
Buren,, although the struggle drew forth tears,
manfully determined to sacrifice friendship up

to uphold journal, which had ceased TO sup
