five were not fully aware that no common ''cr-
cumstance, "-as Robert Owen; the No-Harmony man
would call t-can IN any wise divert the electoral
Of this state from the support Of Mr.. Adams-or
jn other words could we be induced TO believe that
there is even a risk of its being given to Andrew
Jackson we might be induced join the full tide of
party spirit which RACES urOusly in country at
the present time. We have of late been silent upon
national politics, not that there nothing more to say
upon either side of the question for after all that has
heretofore been said, witt, many of our leading po-
cal papers the subject appears to gain new strength &
vigor as tapproaches its consummation in November
next. The truth is, Adams and Jackson although
pretty important at the present day. have been
banded about so much, and long forced upon the
attention of newspaper readers that they have lost all
their charm to interest, and the sober part of
community turn away with disgust fromSan article
which unfortunately bears the name of either. For
the last four or five weeks we have scarcely read
political article of any kind. This perhaps is
lucky confession for editor who is generally sup
posed to read every thing that comes to him i'll the
shape ola newspaper paragraph; but nevertheless it
is So and are willing declare it; otherwise we
our temperament from our neghbors, who have long
been in the habit of casting awaya paper after having
read the deaths and marriages, and possibly anec-
dote or love story, if happy such matter could be
found therein Now not heretical in our
political faith as jnsnuate that with ourself or our
yeaders this feeling arises from indifference to the
subject now uppermost in the country. No. every
man has made up his mind how he shall vote on the
first Monday in November and he is willing to rest
the matter until, or about, that time. FWesixths, if
not nne-tenthso Of the people, --embracirg ali the bet
ter part,---will support Mr.. Adams ;some, perhaps
because they prefer him to any other man who has
been, or can be, named for the presidency :-others
because they believe his administration has been pure
1y national and republican, and they see no reason
why he should be turned out to make loom for an
other other some, because of the two candid
ates before the people, they give him the decided
preference. We are not disposed to quarrel with
the preudices Of either of these classeswith each
the result will be the same; and in popular elections
a mans vote is the principal thing commended for.
Neither will it be of any Importance to our readers to
know to which of these classes we belong. Suffice it
TO say---as the case stands, we shall go for the
whole in our support of Mr.. Adams; and If were
possible to do his any essential good by saying
some pretty smart things in his favor, why, would
even attempt that;---or if republication of the
bloody stories about Col. Benton, Thomas jackson,
MrDickinson, Arbuthnot and Ambrister, ohm Woods,
the Six Militia Men, the Sixteen Indians, &c. &c.
would be of any advantage in attempting to keep the
"Hero' of them, out Of the Presidential Chair why,
then we would devote few columns to that SER
vice. But these things all known to readers,
and although they very importantin this relation,
they will hardly bear twice telling with profit. Our
jackson readers,---and there are dozen two of
such-are past all hope of political conversion from
this or any other Adams press. Why, say they, "all
these stories are lies and the Times and the Herald
can prove them to be thus;" and having pinned
their faith to the sleeve of good friend Gideon, he
will hold them there fast until after the election, and
then pass them to the support of Judge N. or
as the case may be. The Of the
whole is, either Mr. Adams or Gen. Jackson, will be
our president---wc are anxious for the success
of the former--we should deprecate the election OF
the but all this stormng Of words especially in
New England, will not change the result in the least.
The people have made up their minds now to act
they were capable Of so doing, and like their own
granite hills they will stand fast in their purpose and
integrity.
