IN Iopicol-The friends of Mr.. Adams say that he is
end 10 Manufactures because the Southern people are
4nnosed to his reelection. And yet they have taken a
4rpa deal Of pains to make believe the vrgnians i'll
&oe for HIM They have distributed many thousands Of
#hanman Johnson's address produce this belief but still
friend to Manufactures. He has never said word,
Written word, given vote in their favor, recon-
amended them in any way to the protection OF Congress,
n et he is their iricnd.
These same sapcns tell us that Gen Jacksonis unfricnd
IN to manufactures because he will get the of the
Sob which they have in VAIN been trying to get for Adj
Mans He has publicly avowed himself their friend, in writ
&nr in vong speaking, and acting, yet according TO
#he reas ming Of these he is unfriendy He dresses
himself and his family domestic cloth, but still he is ui-
4nenty to ITS manufacture
They must think the people FOOLS they would
lson thus
The fact is Mr. Adams is unfriendly to the encourage
ncn, Of domestic industry and his whole lle and presen,
ssuicd and stubborn silence the subject witnesses
8aganst him. We should like 10 see publication of his
letter to citizen Of Maryland, in reply to some lneroga
ores concerning his friendship for this paramount interest
f the Journal will publish this letter, will publish Jack
&son's reply 10 DIR. Coleman.
4 Cotoniu, Trade The public at large is inform
n ed Of the manner in which the present diplomatic
#cabinet, DESTROYED this trade with the British
West India Islands, and that a loss to the coun-
\ try Of FOUR AND HALF MILLIONS OF DOL.
a ,ue npr ,nnum il sustained in conspouence of
at None of the Adams presses that entitled
10 any degree of respect far information OF know
4 ledge, pretend to deny this, although, sonc OF
about the third class for intelligence, make very
awkward attempts at defending the course of the
4 cabinet against the charges OF incapaclty, and
wanton neglect, which this transaction has dis
PLAYED. Some Of them pretend that the lchote
\ West India trade is as great as it has been for
some time past, even when we traded without in
terrupton to the British Islands. Without think
ng it necessary to deny or disprove this, it nee.
only be said that admitting the trade was as great
for the last year, without intercourse with the I'm.
& gsh Islands, the loss of four and a halt millions
4 is still apparent, because had our cabinet permit
4 ted the usual supplies to those Islands would have
been shipped from this country, in addition to the
! trade cnloyed with the other Islands. But for
v t|,e want of these privileges, the country has to
Drar loss to the amount above named. This
misfortune has fallen upon the country, from the
A vanity OF MIR. Clay, and the weakness oil Mr.
4 Adams. The former would not agree that Con
4 5rcss Should esisate upon this subject, and pass
Z Fecprocayc acts with the British Government, az
! every other nation had done, he wished to show
\ hIsdeyterity at negotiation And even after Mr.
y Adams had said that he would sign a bill witt
4 pleasure, to establish this trade upon the princi
4 PIES Of reciprocity, and Mr.. Clay in his instruc
4 tlons to Galiatin, acknowledged that the terms
/, the British acts, were entirely satisfactory, he 5,
managed it that legislation was defeated and hi
mnsng negotiations failed, and the trade is lost
4 But this is not ALL There seems determine
lion on the part of this administration that, NJ
trade to the West Indies shall exist. In 1926
the French Government passed an ordinance open
lag the ports Of Martinique and Gaudaloupe, t.
The vessels of the United States, without any con
adioa whatever: and this ordinance, Mr.. Clay
nor his "hand plant,' the President has permit

Gently i was forced from them, by resolution o
Congress.
There Is no excuse that can be offered for thu
seelttlns the French ordinance. 1t will not avail
any thing to say that, Clay and Adams were 81
Naeh engaged in writing clcctioneering pamphlets
performing eectIoneering tours, and eating cleo
''oaeenng dinners, that they had forgotten this ne
fessary act Of duty. This is the first cabinet tina
las dared, in the face of the whole nation, tt
make their reelection the primary object, and t.
