VIII be produced III good tme to the ustonishment OF
the world at their contents, and the confusion of Mr.
Giles. We can well believe-incredble as the fac,
seems TO the Public-that Dir. Giles had totally fer
gotten those letters. If he had remembered them
and their contents, he would not have displayed ms
much eagcrness for a bout with Mr. Adams III the
newspapers. We said they would be produced in
good time; We rctract the expression. The good
time has passed. They ought to have been cxl,,i-
ted IN time to have contributed to remove the film
from the public eye to the much misreprescntcd
character of John Quincy Adams. AS Mr.. Giles has
denied the existence of the letters-as his mouth
piece has lntimateda doubt that they arc in esse-

their production.

the regular nomination for Sheriff, division Of the
Jacksonlans have rcvoltcd, called meeting (which
appears to have been large onc) and no,ninat Oh

Of the fall Of u principle which under the garb OF

Councils, whose recommendations are found only in
their party zeal. We think friend, the Judge of
Israel, viii lose his election as Sheriff.
We are not surprised ut the wrangling ofthe Jack
sonans Should success crown their endeavors, we,
shall see them flying at each others threats, with the
same luminosity that they havo pursued Messrs Adams
and Clay. Constituted of the most rcpurnan. mate
rlas, they arc kept united by agreement Of prnc
pie, or harmony Of Interior views. The election of
Jackson should it be the will OF Heaven to ordair, i
will be the signal for the dissolution ofhe inconrruou
mass; and the nation will then the leaders OF the
party In their true colours. Il will then be seem Tint
they have been animated in their support of Jackson
by no love fcountry-byno Expectation Of advancing
Its interests by change-but to remove Henry Clay
out OF their path and TO the loavcs and fishes
to themselves. For one, free to acknowledge,
that we shall be rejoiccd to them turning their
stings upon each other. Every man ofthem expects
something: oil cannot be gratifed Jackson will not
have pap enough for all the hungry mouths, that will
plead their merits and their necessities. Dog VIII eat
