POLIT'ICAL COJKTESV

We were so much pleased with the spirit of the
following Correspondence, that we have asked a
Copy for publication. The whole political scene
before US Is OF piece. The same courtesy has
been uniformly extended To the .anti-Jdckson
Convention. 1t occupies the Hall of the House of
Delcgates-and so solictous has the House been TO
lend every accommodation in its power that for
the two last days, il assembled two hours sooner in
order that it might adjourn two hours earlier IL is
subject OF regret, that similar spirit of accono-
dation did not show itself at Harrisburg
The City is crowded with strangers. There is
scarcely vacant bed in any of the public or the
private boarding houses; bu; in the midst of this
hustle and animation, there is no angry shirt TO
dash the scene! The utmost possible Cancellation
iscxhibited. Adams and Jackson men meet To-
Gether IN peace; crack jokes, and exchange badi-
mage with each other.-rhe friends of Mr.. Adams
have to stem an irresistible current, which il
sweeping away all their hopes; but they are free
men and have right TO ie the attempt. But
At would be sincerely TO be regretted if the CON
tFoversy should degenerate into persecution; anl If
enlightened citizens could not differ on such
question, without breaking up all the delightful
harmony Of social intercourse.
We have extracted the first DAYS proceedings
from the columns of the Whig-and we most
cheerfully profer the Of our paper TO the MEM
bers OF the Convention-We shall seize the earliest
opportunity of laying before our readers the
fullest accounts we can obtain of the Proceedings
OF so numerous and respectable Meeting of our
Fellow Citizens
