observes that this was at time Usl4 and IS
when his country was bleeding. Without exam
lining every particular stated it is only necessary
10 observe. for the purpose Of satisfying every un
prejudced mind of the baseness of the charges
that Mr.. Adams's accounts were allowed by the
proper authority for liquidating and settling the
same; and this authority having knowledge Of all
the transactions and circumstances no doubt acted
correctly and iustly.-Ihis fact alone will satisfy
all reasonable men, that Mr.. Adams's charges were
correct in themselves, and that the then President
acted correctly in allowing them
But every one must allow that if Mr.. Adams
received too much, it was quite as much the fault
OF Mr.. Madison as himself; and who ever heard a
whisper of the kind until lately ? and yet these
accounts have been settled long ago.
But admit for moment that Mr.. Adams's &C
counts were incorrect, where were these cham
pions, that they did not expose them then where
that purity and patriotism them that they bawl so
much about now? it must have been stifed with
the hope of feasting on the loaves and fishes.
Do these noisy demagogues think that the re-
fiectlng people of this Republic will be blinded by
their sophistrya Will they not consider these
persons most corrupt who saw wrong ten years
ago and said nothing about it until now But who
IN this favored land will attend to such statements
further than to mark the want Of principle that
made them No person, until lately, ever pretend
ed to doubt Mr.. Adams extraordinary abilities as
statesman, and no person till within few years
ever thought Of General Jackson for President
Mr.. Adams is we'll qualified to direct the ship of
state-General Jackson to direct an army-but
can our coo-headed Citizens for moment wish
them to exchange There are some, I fear, in our
country, that for interest or envy, would sacrifice
the best interests of their country at the shrine of
envy, office and emolument. When | speak thus,
| speak of few leaders famous for " Combina-
tions' which will, if they should succeed, result in
the degradation or perhaps destruction of this
promising republic. From such misfortunes "Good

have performed their duties in manner more than

necessity for making any changes. and am of
opinion that the interest of the Borough and the
wishes of the citizens will be best promoted by
the reelection of the present members. ANY

long story headed Mr.. adams Accounts, extracted
from the !. Kentucky Argus" censurng Mr.. Ad-
ans, as might be expected, considering the source
wtence it ytoued and the channel through which 1t
crecps. =,
Upon reading the piece was forcibly struck
with the fact. that TRUTH though ever so simple and
beautiful, may be so mangled and warped by the
wicked and designing, as to appear odious and dis
gushing. The piece states that Mr.. Adams recev-
ed in one year, when he was minister to Russia,
to Client and to London &c. upwards of $1,000
dollars, aud that part Of this was for services
