THE CARINE'r

L.
An administration that acquires power honestly
Will exercise 1t honestly. Possessed tho conf
dence oil the people, they feel not the necessity Of
making single exSrtion to merit that reputation
the want OF which is not charged against them
" Never frame an apology" said statesman, 4" be,
lore yoi are accused Of a crime" Political limo
cence commences not its career with excuses on
Its lips, tor the attainment of its power.-It is the
guilty conscience that prompts man to defend
his character before it is assailed.
Apply tins principle to the administration OF
John ~. Adams, and what do we find =? On
reaching the presidential chair the first accents
that Tell from his lips, were those Of excuse, apoI-
ogy, and subteriugc. 81 do not possess" said he.
in his inaugural speech, the confidence of the
word, and withheld that confidence till his mea-
sures had been taken-his ministers selected
and his principles fully developed. No sooner
does the mantle of state fall upon him, than he
commences his career Of hypocrisy. Why these
m'sgWlngs, IT all were calm within? Why these
apologies tor his conduct, ii that conduct was
pure The intrigue and management by which
nc reached his present emincnce, now be fore
the world. No wonder, therefore, lie commenced
his reign with prayers and excuses. At that pc
rod the people wore ignorant of the dark deeds
oil the coalition. The written pledge to Web
ster was only known to few. MIR. Clay had
written to his friend Blair, that his own inter es,s
pointed out to HIM the propricty of his voting for
Adams, but then 1t was only shown to Crtenden
Mr. Cooke, OF Illinois, was bought for promise
OF $500, but his innocent constituents knew it
not Mr. Scott of Missouri, was purchased with
the peoples monsy, but it was unknown. War
field OF Maryland was also secured by promise
of foreign mission, but it was only known to
Mr. Adams.
The consciousness Of al these dark deeds
prompted the present rulers to commence their
term of power with apologies for their conduct
The began their career in suspicon--they con-
ilnued it in fraud, and they will end it in disgrace
Corruption and intri que are at the very root of
this administration lis it surprising, then, that
their deeds should partaSe of those qualities (!
The present power of Messrs. Adams. Clay and
Webster, is built the ruins of the popular will
The public calamity is increased from the con-
seriousness, that the people furnish the very rea-
sure by which these men intend to perpetuate
their power. viii the people submit to such
things! They will not. Their principles, and
their feelings, are yet too pure to restrain longer
their Indignation such scenes as have been
witnessed.

Fatal. MEEICAL ERROR

In the Courier dcs EtutS Un;s of Saturday last
we find in tho postscript of their Partisan corres-
pondcnt's letter, the following statement Of what
will, we suppose, be mildly called an error in
medical practice, that cost the lives of seven UNI
happy patients. We translate it for information,
and as warning.
must relate TO you a shocking occurrence
that took place some days ago at the Hospital Of
Bicetre. May it render your physicians more
cautious than ours. The head physician of that
eetablshmen,, NJ. Ferrus. went to England to
study the manner of treating epiieptic patients,
and witnessed cures of this terrible maady by
the slow and gradual exhibition Of hydrocy-
dntc acta This acid, you know, is the most
subtle poison yet discovered. nj. Magendic,
one of our distinguished physicians, has already
used it as sedative NJ. Ferrus had under his
charge at Bicetre, 8 epileptic patients. To those
he exhibited drops ofthe acid but without success
Gradually he increased the dose till at last it a
mounted to much as two ounces in the :wcn-
ty four hours Still disappointed this physician
desired to exhibit an ounce in ons dose, believing
from what he had witnessed that it might be done
without danger The apothecary ordered to make
up these doses became alarmed, and Of his own
mind, reduced them one half-that is, to half an
ounce each. Seven Of the patients took 1.-THE
eighth refused, and well it was for lin that he
did for, an fire minutes, the seven were efectu-
ally cured they were seized with commissions, &
died instantly. The alarm was general the May
or was sent for, who deferred the matter to the
Justice of the peace, who submitted it to the
Kings advocate. a trial was ordered; and Mr.
Ferus. whose professional career is forever blast
ed, has concealed himself. This young physician
married the widow of the celebrated Beclard, who
was daughter of our first surgeon, Dubois. Hi.
colleagues all speak of him as weIl-inormed
man. Unhappily, his knowledge has not saved
him from frightful imprudence, which has lost
the lives of seven men, and destroyed all his own
prospects, n. Y. American.

For this immense sum Mr. Adams set on foot
that Diplomacy which lost u. the British Colonial
I trade. He also gave up Texas to the Spaniards,
when the Spanish minister had instructions from
I his court to cede it to this country He also en-
dcavoured to blow tho Missouri question into q
flame, and array section of the country a

Fisheries and scoded certain ,oar psstiieace and

Amount pail Mr. A., in two years,
for finishing his house, $40 900
About $l4, 900 Of this sum was expended the
first year, against which the billiard table was
charged. MIR. A. asked for 900 more, but
Congress refused the request He got, however,
$1,000 to furnish the east room, which room to
this day is without any furniture save few old
chairs What he has done with the money, none
can tell save himself 1t is known however lew
months ago he was fitting up his home at Quincy,
Mass. as preparatory to the 9TH Of March 1929.

For this immense sum of one aanatcd thousand
doAars- what has Mr.. Adams performed! Has
he not amply requited the country with his usual
benefits! The British colonial trade il complete
" lost; the French colonial trade is also lost;
Brazs has nsnltcd our flag and plumber ur
citizens the national character has been tarnsh-
ed both at hong and abroad the cabinet has
been degraded TO an electionecrlng committee,
caucus; the President has insuted sovereign
state with threats aud bravadocs he has instituted
runous useless and expensive embassies to re-
ward his lavorcs; he has wasted several millions
of the public money in buying up the press and
the peoples representatives.; his measures have
been weak, Liberal and dishonorabc he has fill
ed the whole nation with tumults, disorder and
element, &c.
Now, putting all these items together, we have
the enormous sum of &371 Isl paid to John
Quincy Adams since he entered the public SER
vice. If there are any errors III the above state
mcnt, we call upon the coalition gentlemen to
show them, and we shall correct them with the ut
most cheeriulness. If the g Pink" has not yet
forgot his Cokers arithmetic, his practical knowl-
edge OF accounts, his experience in making out
cotton, tobacco, tea, and sugar bills, we shall
stand corrected by him readily as by any other.
