 would appeal to the common of our readers, whether such men governed b. patriotism self ishnesswhether they care most for their country or for themselves. We have no disposition to prescribe any man of his political principles, honest ly embraced and openly confessed; but we do most sacredly hold the doctrine of political self de- fence and when little handful of men la- boring most assiduousIy defeat the expressed and we'll known wishes of the state be silent upon the subject argues most criminal neglect of duty,--a neglect which we shall never be charged with. Show that 1t is more important to contend about obsolete party names than to feel some active interest in the pending presidential question, aud we'wil pub lcy retract all we have heretofore said upon this sub ject. Until then must be permitted to exercise our political candor in our own way.
 OPPOSITION TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF
 MIR. ADAMS IN CONNECTICUT.
 MR. EplToR-There is no doubt but that an m- majority of tlA people of this State the firm supporters of the Administration of our excellent President and his patriotck Cabinet, and of the sys tem of measures which WAS adopted by Mr. Monroe, and is adhered to with great iVmness by present Executive, and which is eminenty adapted to pro- the prosperity ofthe nation, and to establish the prominent interests of the country upon the basis of permanent success. To ensure the expansion ofcom- mercaI enterprise, by cutvatng the most friendly lations with foreign powers, especially the South A. merican repubcks, to deveIope resources by liberal system of internal improvement to sustain our manufacturing and agricultural interests ny checking foreign competition, to extngulsh the national debt by faithful application of our revenues to that object so soon it be done consistently with the obiga tions we are under the creditors ofthe governments to augment gradually the navy, the right of the, nation, and the pride and glors of the repubck, and to fortfy every assaab!e point the Atlantic frontier, to enable to repress insult and repel nvasion the principal features of policy which has been psr sued by Mir. Adams and his associates with unyeldng resolution. But notwithstanding the entire conformi- ty of his Administration that of his llustrous prede cessors and the identity of the adopted by both with the prosperity of the country, aruthess op position has been got up by set of aspiring and principed men, to put down Mir. Adams and his cab inet, equally regardless of the merits of his govern lnent, and of the consequences which must result from precedent fraught with alarming evils. The partial success which has thus far attended the efforts these men. is to be attributed almost entirely to sectional jeaousies, save holding antipahes, and hatred of New England, her manners, customs, and religious sentiments-preJudces which have produced the most mischievous effects in parts of the country, and should be discountenanced by every well-w,sher to the permanency of our institutions. As strange as it may seem, there is to be found in Connecticut few renegade politicians, who have joined in the crusade against the only President with whom the Eastern States will be honoured for many years to come Tho their number is comparatively sma yet they hope by activity and compact movement to supply the de6cien cy. Itis now apparent that they have been making the most strenuous exertons to obtain asceHdancy in branch of the Legislature, with the expectation that it may be in their power to throw into the scale of the opposition the whole, least part of the electoral of the state. We are informed from source on which entire reliance can be placed, that during the last session of the Legislature frequent meetings held by the friends of Gen. Jackson in secret conciave, make such arrangements for the ate opposed Mir. Adams and the result of their ef forts is large number of Jacksonians, brought for. ward candidates, under the guse of regular nom nation. This has been accomplished in part by de- cepton, and hy the perseverance of active minority but chiefly in consequence of the criminal apathy of the unsuspectng friends of the Administration. But the character of these asprants for office ie well understood, and the question is to be puf directly the people, whether such men Niles, Stoddard, Dean, and Ocott, with their Jacksoniau partialities and distrchng antiquities, to receive the support of majority of the electors of Connecticut. If we do not much mistake the great body of bans mers, and mechanics, too intelligent, and under stand too we'll the true interests of their country to combine with slave-hoders the south and doMph c- at the northto crush administration as wise Dat- rotlc, and able, as any that has existed since the days of Washington. They will think that the good of their country requires ttat "the post of fhonor for Niles and his associates, should be "the pripate sto tion It will he recoleced that the next Legislature IS to make some provision for the choice of Presden tal Electors; and 1.-the Jacksonians should succeed in getting majority the senate, the fatal conse guences might result from it. The writer has heard from certain characters in this county repeated inti-
 nations that would be taken to give at leas, part of the Electoral this state to Gen lack and we have doubt but that the most strenu- exertions will be made to accomplish this object It the friends of the Administration Ill shake off lethargy the most alarming will be easy to crush the incipient efforts of the opposition and to make both branches of the General Assembly, as they should he. strong for Adams and our country FRANKLIN.
