 In another part of our paper we have said thatthere many leading politicians in this state, who Op posed to the present administration. Unquestonably more than nine-tenhs of the honest, intelligent free of the state perfectly satisfied with the gene- ra course of the administration and will again give their support to Mir. Adams. Especially this is the fact in Ltchfeld County. We not in the habit of say ing oh relative To ourself but in connexion with the above assertion, which belive to be true, we feel strongly inclined this week saya few wordsup on our own affairs. The have ever taken in relation politics, and especially pending the late state electoneerng campaign, completely in accordance with that pursued by the editor of the Hartford Times, that in instance did he dissent from us or offer one objection expressed opin ions indeed of the offensive articles which appeared in paper,-ofensive to class of poll cians-were extracted from his paper. It is true we accused of commencing the attack upon Legislative caucusses and of taking the lead in the contest but this honor suspect brother Wells will be dis posed to dispute with us. It was not until pol tics calmly settling down for the present year and occasion could be offered for political contro versy that the editor of the Times and his agents in this county recommended an attack upon the republ can character of this paper. To such people as may still feel sort of political horror the name fcde ral beg to be excused for saying that not the value of fig whether we are called federal or democrat; the terms are perfectly indefinite app- ed at the present time, andmean any thing nothlng as suits the convenience of the politician using them is in vain that have called upon the editor ofthe = Il i 4 lcan principles in papcrthe reiterated reply is 'you are an Adams amalgamaton federast." ."-Now with intelligent candid persons, such like indefinite assertions would pass for their real worth, it not for the efforts of certain gentemen who have hereto fore been allowed to exercise some considerable po litical dctation, and who ready to back up such charges with the assertion that the republicans of this county do not support this press approve of the course pursued by it's editor; and that the HART FORD TIMES is the only TRUE republican paper in the state, and the paper of all ohers which THE PAR rY are bound to support. With some few people this argument is unaas,cerabe because the assertions of their political leaders have been questioned ''the good of THE PARTY requiring that they should be be- lieyed and obeyed." Although this course has not n- jurcd us it has caused change in the names of our subscribers. Invariably where efforts have been made to stop the circulation of the Post efforts have been made, with equal success, to sustain it, Now if these attacks from the Times, backed up by certain leading politicians in this county, not evil denty owing to national politics, know what fact can be capable of demonstration. Why is the Hart ford Times the only republican paper in the state which accuses of federalism ?-be it remembered, the a,cfI political sin is charged upon Mir. Ad ams and his whole cabinet council, by this republican paragon that at least found in good compa- ny.-Why not these charges preferred against us pending the last state election? Why the prnci pies then advocated so well sustained in ths coun- ty, ifthey were the offspring of political error? Why are leading republican politicians, who known friends the administration, still the supporters ofths press? Why do certain preended friends to the ad- minstration, who think Gen. Jackson very excel lent man, and have objection to try him o,ce as President of the United States" choose the Times as substitute for this paper ins toad of the Register Mercury, old republican papers, and firmly atachedto Mr. Adams? If streams show which way the tide sets, facts stubborn these show incontestiby that the efforts which the editor of the Times, and few ndi- vduals in this county making to destroy this press originate solely account of national instead of state politics; and that it is not the federalism of this paper which ofends them-but it's opposition to the faction which would elevate Gen. Jackson and his satellites the moral virtue and political liberty the coun- try. Let the freemen look to it--let them learn the motives of their enticers before they are induced to look to the Hartford Times alone for knowledge of political events. Letthem be prepared to discard from the councils of country the greatest and the best men in land, if they determined to believe in the political rcctitude of that paper Let them be pre- pared to reject internal improvements. encouragement to domestic industry, ,and yield implicit submission to Virginia dctatioD, if they prepared reject political herecs all whom the puere editor of the Hartford Times sees fit to prescribe. We shall not suffer by this course, however unwilling we maybe to see individuals under the garb offrcndship labourng assduously support the measures of the open enc. my-individuals who ready to plead their preten- sions of friendship should Mr. Adams again succeed in election, their acts should Gen. Jackson obtain the ascendancy in the tremendous political contest which is approaching.
 Speaking of the debates which were had in the Sen ate upon the nomination of Mir. Clay that body by Mir. Adams the Times asks if the corrupt coalition not then exposed! and adds. 'he administration had that time majority in the Senate, and hence the debates that appointment arc wrapt in obliv
