l subscribed the foregoing letter, and not the
Reply, for the following reason; Mr.. Adams
In his statement published in the National In
telllgencer, spoke Of tho leaders of the Federal
party, an the gear 1908, and for Sererat gears
previous, as engaged in q systematic opposition
to the general government, having for its object
the dissolution of the Union, and the establish
ment OF separate confcderacy by the aid of a
foreign power. AS proof of that disposition,
particular allusion is made to the opposition to
the embargo in the Courts of Justice in Massa-
chusetts. This pointed the charge directly at
my late father, whose efforts in that cause are
probably remembered and was the reason Of
my joining in the application to Mr.. Adams to
know on what such a charge was founded. If
this construction Of the statement needs confr-
nation, it is to be found in one of the letters
lately published in Salem as Mr.. Adams's.
Mr.. Adams in his answer has extended his
accusation to subsequent period. In the
events of that time | have not the same inter-
est as in those preceding it and as the Reply
was necessarily coextensve with the answer,
that reason prevented me from joining it,
take this opportunity, however, to say for my
self, that | find in Mr. Adams's answer no JUS
tlhcation Of his charges; and in reply to that
portion of his letter particularly addressed to
me, that have seen no proof, and shall not
readily believe, that any portion of my fathers
political course is TO be attributed to the infu-
ence there suggested.

A difidence, perhaps too just, in my own
qualifications, vii, teach me to look with rever-
ence to the examples of public virtue left by
my iIlustrious predecessors, and with venera-
ton to the lights that flow from the mind that
founded, and the mind that reformed, our sys-
tenn The same diffidence induces me TO hope
for instruction and aid from the coordinate
branches of the government, and for the indul-
gence and support of my fellow citizens gener.
ally. And firm reliance on the goodness of
that Power whose providence mercifully pro-
lccted our national infancy, and has since up
held our liberties in various vicisstudes, encour-
ages me TO offer up my ardent supplications
that he will continue to make our beloved coun-
try the object of his divine care and gracious
benediction.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. The
Convention of Republicans of the Com
friendly to the administration of
Andrew Jackson" held on the 4th inst. at
the State House, was organized by calling
John K. Simpson, Esq. of Boston, to the
chair, and by appointing, Col. John M.
Fiske of Charlestown, secretary. A series
of resolutions expressive of the views of the
convention ofnational and state politics, was
adopted ;-one Of which declared it inexpe-
dent for the Convention to nominate any
candidates for the offices of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, but that it be recon-
mended to our political friends to honor
with their suffrages at the coming election
such democratic statesmen as they may
deem worthy the stations, whose political
principles are known to accord with those
of the democratic party of this nation"

CURIOUS STATISTICS. An agent of the
Temperate Society in Philadelphia, has
been employed in collecting the number of
houses in which ardent spirits are retailed
in that city, and their capacity for enter
tainment. The following result is given in
the Democratic Press:
1t appears that the city with popula-
ton of 82,780 inhabitants, has 543 houses
in which ardent spirits are retailed-or
house to every 152 inhabitants of all ages,
sexes and colors. The incorporated North
ern Liberties have 1873 houses to 1923
inhabitants-or house to 147 inhabitants.
Kensington, one hundred and fifteen houses
to 1l,705 inhabitants-or l to 49, Penn
Township, Sc houses to IL, O25-or to 1913.
Southwark, 307 do. to "a, l65 inhabitants
Including Moyamensing) or l house to
every 79inhabitants, for those of both sexes
under the age of Is, and the result will be,
| house for selling liquors for every 80 in
habitants above the age of Is. 1t is Gu
rious fact, that at the same time that liquor
shops in Southwark bear the proportion of |
to every 80 inhabitants above 1.-THE num-
Der of paupers admitted into the aims

ending May, 1928. was 701-being in the
proportion of to 81 of the whole number

SwINDLER. The Lancaster Gazette
states that swindler named Jesse Briggs
has just left Lancaster, for Boston, with
two wagons in his train. Briggs went
there from one Of the neighboring towns,
which he said he quilted on account of the
immortality of the people He purchased a
shop and commenced preparations for es-
tablishing himself in the cabinet making
business; and such was his department,
the modesty and plausibility of his manners,
and the apparent honesty and sincerity Of
his intensions, that he found no difficulty in
procuring credit to considerable amount.
He purchased two or three suits Of clothes,
at different stores, a wagon, harness, &c. to
the amount Of about 5000, for which he
gave his notes just before starting.

UNEXPECTED Coon FORTUNE. A few
days ago poor weaver in Manchester,
named David Linday, fell heir to an estate
of about 100000 [equal to million and a
mar OF doIIarsI by the decease of an uncle,
Col. Lindlay, of the Mount, near Cupar Fife,
in Scotland. When the letter arrived. an

shillings and nine-pence," completely stun

DIVORCE. A law has been passed by the
Legislature providing that when a woman shall
be divorced, the Court, passing such decree
shall have power to ass ign to her, for own use

MISCELLANY
GENERAL, WASHINGTON.

We have often heard il said, and seen 1t
nublished. that Gen. Washington was new
srat least after he became pubic man,
known 10 laugh. No doubt he was very
crave. The vast responsibilities that were
nDon him, and the serious state of afairs,of
which he took the principal guidance, were
calculated 10 make him 80. But II ~ not
true. that he never shared in the cheerful
and buoyant spirits of those with whom he
associated. highly respectable revolt

engaged during the whole revolutionary
war, in the capacity Of surgeon part OF
the time in the Army with whom IL "hs

was for considerable time in the military
family OF Washington, and VITO IN more
than one instance ofiiclated as MS person

ffpqueniiy known that great man TO laugh
as heartily as any one Of the company
We recollect On instance of the kind which
he mentioned: on certain occasion,a mum

md the plates at the table according to the
camp style, turned over and while the com

the ermy, took occasion to improve the un-
employed moments in mimcking about ev-

he came, in hs performance to Gen. w.
he put on very long face and made mo

chickens with his fingers (the dinner con
sisted of chickens, and Gen. w. picked
their bones with his fingers.) Such was
the perfection Of hs imitation of Gen. w.
in his manner Of looking, eating, &c. that

he was never known TO laugh Is not true.

To trample on her authority, to thwaft her
wishes, to sport with her tears, and 10 rrieve
her spirit, must always cause many a pang
on the part yf her offspring. Befor6 her in.
flucnce carve annihilated,thc ties of nature
must be sundercd, and the last amiable
seDsibility be obllterated from the heart
The wife. too, in all ordinary circum-
stances, must, exert an influence over the
husband. She is his chosen companion
Her dominion is the lireside and the family
circle. The early instruction Of the child
rem, and regulation Of the domestics, and
the entire policy ofthe household, are com
mtted to her. The order, the moral hab
it's, the pieiy and the happiness Of families
ale more emphatically under the control of
females than they are Of the other sex
While the husband and the father is pur
sung his business abroad, the wife and
mother is, perhaps, imparting cast OF char
acter 10 those around her at home which
may extend through many generations
which will continue, either in dark, or
sp,ended lines, when our world shall be
burned up, and The sun and stars shall have
gone out. 1t will always depend much on
female influence, whether religion shall be
admitted into tho family, or whether the
door shall be shut against its entrance;
whether "thc curse of the Lord" shall be
there, as it is ain the house Of the wicked"
or his blessing, as it is ''in the habitatlon
Of The Just" Prov. iii. 33.
Females exert vast moral influence up

troll which females often have over the
great movements Of society, by that infu-
cncc which they possess with their hus
bands and soma with their brothers and 9th

scenes of social life; at the popular opinions
and prevailing amusementS OF the world;
and it must be seen that they are entrust
with moral power That hardly knows a
