REASONS FOR SUPPORTING JOHN
@ ADAMS.

The writer of this is a member of the So
ciety Of Friends, and has not for some years
taken any part IN political matters or attend
ed an election; the present state of affairs is
such. in his opinion, as demands ofevery one,
every christian, of whatsoever denomination,
At least an attentive consideration, whether,
by remaining at our home, on the day of G.
lection we should not give our assent to mea:
sures contrary to every principle of reli-
glOn and common humanity. A calm
and attentive consideration Of the
subject has convinced me that it is a
duty, solemn duty, owe to my country and
society to attend the next election, and there,
by my vote protest against SLAVE holder and
stdve dealer, and one who frOM his youth has
attempted to make the Sword more power
ful than the Law. My reasons (whichs are
drawn from sources know to be entitled to
credit) why deem it my duty to attend the
next election, and give my vote for John @.
Adams, now President of the United States,
in opposition to General Andrew Jackson, are
these:
Twill vote for John @. Adams, because
since the commencement of his political ca
reer, he has always shown himself the friend
of the injured and oppressed, and has not fall
ed to raise his voice in their defence
Because he is the friend of peace and good
order.
He encourages by every legal means, the
honest industry Ofthe Farmer, Mechanic aud
Manufacturer. II. ~ - m.
To his public acts he shows that he desires
the welfare Of his country, and that he is not
influenced by sectional Q Iings or interests.
He is friend o fr ed m,and the rights Of
conscience. and mas always been opposed to
| Slavery.
He has been economical in his administra-
ton. and has paid off fifty millions of the pub
lie debt.
! His enemies after the strictest scrutiny have
not been enabled to substantiate single one
of the accusations, they have brought against
him.
My reasons for opposing Andrew Jackson
| are
| 1st. His education and habits Of life are in
every sense of the word Military; on his mi-
litasy talents rests his only claim to the presl-
dency.
"a. He is duelist, having challenged near<
" 4 dozen different persons.

Grange Bastelliere. Soon after he left Pa
riS for Poland, whittier Rosalia and her
second mother also went. The childrea
of the Iaundress were educated under the
eyes OF the Count with he greatest care.
The boys, who were sent to the Universe
ty of wilma, afterwards joined the Polish
army, and became Aids de camp to Prince
Poniatowski. The daughters received
handsome portions and were married to
Polish gentlemen. AS to the Countess
RoSala, she married her cousin, Count
RezewonSki and when she related to
me this affecting anecdote, opulence and
felicity had spread their golden wings over
her destiny. The good Madame Bcrot
still lived with the Countess, who called
her mother. ~

A MISER.

A letter from Oldham says, ga short
since. a person died al Farnham, named
Mills, of extraordinary DISPOSE ion and
str,,> . habitudes. He suffered his beard
20 grow for sonic years, till it had assumed
pa,riarchal length, and it is said, seldom
applied soap to cleanse his face withal' 1t
was known he was possessed of some mo-
,ney-perhaps FL 600 or 81, 500; for he
denied himself many of The common nee
cessaries. and all the luxuries OF life. lie
had two sons, but they were brought W d
educated in a very humble way, and were
nut to trades considerable distance from
the inhospitable home OF heir father. As
might be expected, on the old mans death
considerable Cul loSity was manifested to as
certain how much cash he had accumulated;
and those Immediately interested were not
a little surprised by c rning onaprl ,calion
40 the bank, thai instead OF $1,000, he had
safely lodged here as many thousands =
This agreeable fact stimulated further ell
ouiry. and it was more than suspected from
his Close mode of living at home, that pos
siblv few odd guineas might be LETT there
as we'll as 10 the Bank. Accordingly 4
yummage was Instituted 81 clue being had

braced sharp, and a small lower sail set to
prevent her rolling too much. began to
imagine that our danger was partly over,
bat my JOY was short-lived, for an accident
which happened soon afterwards, babe us
bear like men, the death that stared as in
the face.
A wave, higher than the rest, at pause
i'll the tempest, and when the ship had roll
led helpless upon her side, threw her up
on her beam ends, each succeeding sea
making fair breaches over her. Individu-
al safety was now the only thought, and
each was occupied in laShng himselfto the
wreck. The Captain, Mr.. Andrews, and
mySelt,were secured in the mizzen rigging,
The rest of the men in the main and fore,
chnglng to the chains, .anyards, and back
stays. 1t was evident to all that we could
not remain long in this situation. Ex-
hanSted as we were, death might still be
avoided; the Captain asked Mr.. Andrews
If he could not get to the tool chest for an
axe. "Forward there!" he CRIED, las cheer
fully as if he had been ordering the setting
OF "a studding sail, "stand by to let the mast
60! Keep heart men, a good and stout
neart, and we are Sate!"
Say, ay, sir" was the reply. After the
lanyards were cut, one or two strokes of
the axe was sufficient to break the already
sprung and tottering spars.
The shi slowly recovered her upright
posture, as the last mast fell into the sea.
We gained the deck again, and that was
all !: the ship was leaking at every seam,
and fast settling into the sea. The men
still strove for life; the measure of our
misery was not yet full, for there was some
hope of escape in the boat. Knife and axe
were employed in cutting away the bull
warks, in order to launch the long boat
The grpes were severed, and the checks
knocked away; but just as we were accom-
plishing the desired end, voice that see
med to come from the bottom Of the sea,
shouted "sal, no ~ 'Where away!" cried
the Captain, leaping upon he gunwale of
the boat, as it .rembled over the side. "On
the wea her beam, on u.s." answele ed the
same voice. All eyes were cast in that d.
rection, and Notwithstanding he darkness,
we could discover large ship with her
courses set, driving sheer upon US. "God
of heavens!' cried the Captain, in tone
that was lost in shrek, "they do no, see
us!' eve are lost" nurmured several
voices. "Not yet! not yet!' shouted the
commander. "Port, port your helm!"-
sport, hard por!" echoed voice from
the deck of the stranger, but it was too
late. Our ship rolled Immediately under
the bow of the unknown ship, which pas
sed over US like whirlwind. | recollect
being driven down, as it were to the bot
tom of the sea; of an impotent struggle for
life, when some one seized my arm. In
the dreadful struggle for mastery, with a
drowning man, awoke, and found that I
was graphing with the ships Stewards
"For heavens sake, Mr.. Edwards" cried
the muluatto, with no small astonishment.

"Eh! oh, steward, what's the matter2"
Breakfast is ready, sir."-D.
