Statesman towards lfr. Adams srd his cabi

Mr.. ANDREW DUNLAP, a young lawyer
and politician, of more than ordinary merits,
and formerly one Of Mr.. Clay's ni.st ardent
and efficient paI,zans, has also finger, in tho
affairs of the Statesman Mr. Dunlap, is a
man of very handsome talents, and as a public
speaker, may be classed among the eminently
promising, and as a writer, is more than re-
spectacle. His attachment to the cause of
General Jackson, is Of recent dato, but though
Ike all his alta chments it is Of uncerts ia dura-
ton, yet whilst it exists, it will be siggyIz9d
by its warmth and vehemence.
The famous Colonel RUSSELL JARvIs, row
the junior Editor ofthe Washington Telegraph,
previous to his association with Duff Greene,
had no small influence over the Statesman,
and contributed to add 20 the violence and ex-
travagant dcnunciations, Which marked It's col
umns. Since his retreat from the enemy's
country" and retrencn, at Washington, the
Statesman has lost a little Of its veriuice.
though it is now sufficiently heated for all its
purposes.
Mr. FREDERIcK 8. HILL, young gentle
man, and poet Of considerable celebrity, has
recently been introduced TO the closet of the
Statesman; but as he does r. relish the
coarser pursuits of political warfare, he con-
tents himself with writing pretty verses to he
eyebrows Of his Della, and in cuing roses
for the fair. His productions and selections
afford happy contrast when compared with
the noisy political essays and squibs which oc-
cupy the other columns of that paper
Personal respect for the gentlemen of the
Statesman, could have induced us to hope,
that they would not disgrace their columns
with paragraphs like those we have considered
and which are equally disreputable to all who
are concerned in them. They are too low, and
too vulgar to be published, and should not have
dsgraced the columns of tho Boston Daily
American Statesman. As for the effect, the
article will have, we care nothing about that,
nor are we particularly displeased because it
is directed at Edward Everett, a gentleman
whom we never admired as a statesman, but
whose splendid talents and learning. we have
been compelled, by all the principles of can
dor and truth, to admire. As =, s,atesa4a, ,.
T.. Eser.:., does 40; belong 10 dat totd aad
independent class, which We honei and which
we are proud to see flourish and his time serv-
ing and sycophantIc policy, on one occasion
and memorable one too called forth our un-
qualified condemnation, poor, feeble and unin-
luental as it was. But notwithstanding this.
as he is a man Of sterling genius, and one of
the first scholars Of the age we like him, and
regret to see him abused, by the application of
the coarse scurrility and ungentlemanly cpl
thets Of partzan prints.
