GA DIPLOMATIC PRESIDENT"

The friends and supporters Of Gen. Jack.
sons claims to the Presidency, since the fail
ure of the various efforts that have been made
to adjust the difficulties between this country
and Great Britain, relating to the Colonial
trade, have attempted to stigmatise the present
chef magistrate of the Union as vain Of his di-
plomatic skill and experience, and as willing
rather to see the country suffer in its important
concerns, than to forego the opportu nifty ofdis:
playing his peculiar talents of that dcscrii ton
They call MIR. Adams sour diplomatic Prcsi
dem" and attempt to fasten that title upon him
as reproach-as containing practical proof Of
his unhtness for the station which he occupies
in the government. This is only one among
themulitude of facts which might be adduceG
to shew, to what despicable arts, an unprinci.
Piled and determined opposition will resort to
accomplish Their objects. If Mr. Adams be- in
truth, diplomatic Presdent--tbat is, ii he is
theoretically and practically thoroughly ac-
quanted with our domestic and foreign rela-
tons, and the proper modes Of adjusting and
settling them, so as TO secure 10 the nation its
just rights and privileges-to place those rights
and privileges upon fair, friendly & respcta-
BILE footing with other nations with which we
must necessarily have an extensive and impor-
tant intercourse; we have no hesitation in say
ing, that he possesses at least one indispensi-
BILE qualification for the high and important Of
hce in which he has been placed. There is
scarcely possibility that man, however intel
lgent he may be in regard to many other SUBJ
jec,s, or however upright he may be in his in
tentions, who is ignorant of this essential de-
partment Of his official business and duty, can
be safe or profitable chief magistrate. He
will constantly be perplexed and bewildered
with our foreign relations, and will be liable to
fall into gross mistakes and blunders, or he
must rely on others to supply his own defci es.

The object Of General Jackson's friends, in
thus affecting to sneer at President Adams for
being diplomatic magistrate, is not, in our
opinion a, least intended merely to decry him

ADDRESS.

Delivered before the Massachusetts, Society fur Tie SUP
preston Of Lnfemperance-By CHARLES SrRAouE.
We have always been on the list Of Mr.
Sprague's admirers. He is gentleman of rare
and cultivated genius, and our heaviest charge
against him is the unfrequentness of his appear
ance before the reading world: A man pos
sessing such capacity 10 adorn and embellish
the literature Of our country, Is hardly to be for
given Tor wrapping himself in retirement, when
literary coxcombs and pretenders are daily TAX
ing their places in the field, and annoying the
public by their arrogance and folly.
The address now before us treats Of a subjec,
deeply and solemnly important 10 our country.
incompetence has laid his hands on our COM
NUDITY, with The strength Of giant AS yet
resistance has quaied before him, and example
is rather his coadu,or than his enemy Physi-
clans have invented remedies for the victims of
,his fatal disease, which are said to be success
full. But in order to suppress internperance,
the remedy must be ministered to the "mind
diseased" to the corrupted moral sense of the
community. The rich and exalted must set
the example, dissipation must be rendered I'M
fashionable in the higher classes, ere drunken
ness can be driven from the lower.
We have not room for many extracts from
this eloquent address. We first select an affect.
ing picture Of female desolation.
"When the husband and father forge.s the
duties he once delighted to fulfil, and by slow
degrees becomes the creature of intemperanoe,
there enters into his house, the sorrow that rends
the spiri,-that cannot be aileviated, that will
not be comiorted.
cit is here, above all, where she, who has
ven,ured every thing, feels that.every thing is
lost. Woman, silent-suffrring, devoted woman,
here bends TO her dires, affection. The mea-
sure Of her woe is, in truth, full, whose husband
is drunkard. Who shall protect her, when
he is her insulter, her oppressor? What shall
delight her, when she shrinks from the sight Of
his face; and lrembes at the sound of his voice?
The hearth is indeed dark, that he has made de-
ISOLATE. There, through the dull midnight hour,
her griefs are whispered TO herself, her bruised
heart blecds in secret. There, while the cruel
author Of her distress isdrowned in distant re-
