Witness the loss of the British Colonial trade
and the miserable neglect OF the Executive in
communicating TO Congress the ordinance OF the
French Government relative 10 the Islands OF Mar
Unique and Guadalupe by which Congress was
prevented from reciprocating tho act, and our
merchants denied the advantages which they
uight otherwise have enjoyed. Witness the de-
claraon OF MIR. Adams, that Representatives
should not allow themselves to be palsied by the
will oil their cOns.itucnts-his assumption OF an au-
tliority superior to all human laws-and his arhi-
trary attempt 20 cocrcc the State of Georgia by the
power OF the bayonet.

aSitatcd and distracted; was there ever gov e,n-

assaiiad by calumny and dctraciion?- or was ,here
ever government under which the property OF

Witness the journies which the heads OF Depart
ments are continually making through the difIs-
rent portions OF the Union; the eiectioncerini
speeches with which they almost daily harangue
the peopie-the eectionoeriug books and pam

themselves in power, TO the great detrmeut OF the

The ADAMS PLEDGE aud IYebStcr's lost En-
tGSSy-No one who Is conversant with all the ciro
cuinstances attending the late nonua alton OF Min
iSter to the Court oil st. James, can any longer
hesitate TO believe, that contract wa, entered
into by the parties whose names we have select
ed for a passing notice-the nature and objects
OF which contract is well known. Why was the
nomination OF Minister to England so long de-
iayed-was it inmaterial whether our interests
there were represented not, Vas il Of more
consequence to consult the interest of Adams and
webster, more important to ascertain Whethe,
the "bargain" could be completed with safety or
not, rather than attend to the interest OF the coun
try! Was il not singular coincidence that the
health OF Mr.. Clay required visit to PhiladeI
phia at the same time, that the ill health of another
person required Senator Bell to abandon his post
at most critical time for the purpose of visiting
his sick brother! Yet the health of Mr.. Clay
was not such as to prevent his making speech,
the advice OF his physicians to the contrary notwit
standing, in which he appreciates '.yYar famine
and pestilence" upon his country
MIR. Bell was not urgent to return to New-
Hampshire, that he could not stop at Philadelphia
few days TO ascertain the result OF Mr. Claws
inquiries Is it impossible that Mr.. CLAY r1ipnt
not have had other inquiries to make at Philaiel-
phia, beside those which concerned his bodily
NJ aith' We speak advisedly when we give il as
our opinion that Clay and Bell made inquiries at
Philadelphia. OF which the people have moi been
fully advised. Was it not ascertaned that certain
things could be proved and, in the event OF GER
tain contemplated nomination would be proved,
which would look little queer, Was, or was
not an expedition 10 New-Jersey got up about the
same time, for the purpose of making inquiries
similar to those M. Clay making at Philadel-
pfia, not about his health? Was or was not Bar
bours nomination made to the Senate a. soon as
the result OF Ciays inquiries could reach a5hag-
ton! W as Barbour ever named as candidate by
any party until his nomination? Was il not gen
orally believed at Washington by oil parties, that
W ebster would he nominated, until after the re
suit Of Clay's journey TO Phladeiphia had been
made known to the PresideuR Let the candid
part OF the community think of these things and
