given hi, the subject Of Mr.. Adams, is entirely
honorable 10 him, in every sentiment and TACT it

would wish TO recall; IL is one which MIRA. himself
mgbt willingly quote did he need oquoe any thing.
II was simply, that during the continuance OF the
embargo, Mr.. a. informed me of combination
without naming any one concerned in it) which
had for.iis object a severance OF the union, for a
time at least; that MIR. Adams and myself not be-
ing then in the habit of mutual consultation and
coniidcncc, considered it the stronger proof OF
the purity Of his patriotism, which was able to iii,
him above all party passions when the safety his
country was endangered; nor have kept the no
norable fact to myself during the late Canvas par
ticularly, had more than occasion 10 quote il
TO persons who were expressing opinions respect

have never entertained for Mr.. Adams any but sem
timents of esteem and respect; and If we have not
| thought alike OIL political subjects, L yet never
doubted the honesty Of his opinions; Of which the
letter in question: il published will he addi tona
proof. Still 4 recognize your friendship iii sus
ges,ing review OF it, am glad OF this as OF every
other occasion Of repeating TO you the oi
my constant attachment and respect:

begins to be re-echoed by the Northern prints
W bo are the traitors among the leaders of the Fee
dera Party in Massachusetts, who for several
years were plotting A." the dissolution OF the Uni
oD:" We're they Gore, and Parsons and Cabot,
who have been gathered TO their fathers--or, was
it James Lloyd, Harrison G.. Otis, Josiah Quincy,
and others, who now the political friends Of
Mr. Adans-and whom he secretly denounced as
Traitors in 1908? Ii just before that time, that
| MIR. Adams had politically associated with such
men-that they had put him into the Senate OF the
| u. y in preference to MIR. Pickering-He had
presided at oil their federal meetings in the town
OF Boston--and it was a little time before that pc
Rod, that the elder Adams, in his letter 10 Cum
| bingham, unier Gate OF Dec. IL, 1905, wrote as
| follows:
~ may mention to stow IN eOnfdeace, that
considerable pains has been taken to persuade
your friend John q. adams, to consent to be run
6y the republicans: But he IS utterly dreTSe to At
and so ain for many reasons, among which are,
LIST the office, though precious stone, is but
carbunce shining in the dark. I'd. 1t is state OF
perfect slavery. The drudgery Of il is extreme
iy oppressive.-Sd. The ,eonpersation is not
living for common gentleinan.-.fh. He must
resign his proiessorship. 9Th He must renounce
his practice at the Bar. 9th. He must stand in
competition with Mr.. Lincoln, which would divide
the republican interest, and certainly prevent the
election OF either. It'll. 1t would produce an e.
.erna separation between him and the icderalsts
at least that part OF them who now constitute the
absolute Olgarchy.'
There is mystery hanging over these transac-
lions, which the Federal Leaders in Aiassachu-
sets, aud indeedall the Citizens oil the IT, States,
should call upon MIR. Adams 10 disperse.-Who are
the Traitors who the men, who plotted the
dissolution of the Union, and have forfeited the
hdence OF the Union, Let them be known, In order
that they may be marked-in order that the nno-
cent may not be contounded with the guty-and
that the memory of the dead may be cleared from
all imputatons.-Mr. Adams must come out
Truth and Justice demand il at his hands.
The Salem iFed.) Gazette of the 18th Oct. brings
this matter to short ssue-that {" the public will
undoubtedly call aloud him for his proof OF these
accusations; they have right and it is their duty
to require at his hands, other that lie should eXh
bit his proofs, or stand dsgraced q calumnator.
" IT he has, or had, unequivocal evidence oil il,
it is easy Tor him now to produce tit he cannot
produce sufficient for judicial proof let him exhi-
bit sufficient for moral conviction. He cannot dc
either for his charges incapable OF being sup
k ported.
e " He is called upon TO name those TRAITORS
! that plotted Dissolution of the Union-he says
= he has the proof, and of course he can name them
if he speaks truth. de cannot do il; he will stand
silent, and submit to the ignominy oil false accu.
