From W;ilie's .New Orleans Commercial
Report of Nor. 6.
Our market is still dull, and has varied
but little since our last. Business gener-
ally is more languid than usual at this
season of the year, notwithstanding the
hustle on the Levee, where number of
large vessels are discharging. We hear
but little of sickness, and could we be
favored with one or two heavy frosts, we
would feel warranted in inviting all to vis-
it the city whose business or amusement
requires it of them. The Mississippi is
at the same stage as noticed in our last
say - feet below ordinary high water
mark
TIE VICE PREsIDEYcY-We would
suggest to our fricnds-the friends of
HENRY CLAY,-the nomination of
FRANcIs GRANGER, of New-H ork for
Vice President. Mr. Granger, indepen-
dent of his distinguished talents and of
his location in Newly ork, has claims on
the support Of the National Republican
party for his generous conduct in refus-
ing to be run for Governor Of Ncw-York
against Judge Thompson.-With Clay
for President and Granger for Vice Pres
ident, we should have as strong a ticket
as could be desired, and we now see no
good reason, why it should not unite in
its support the entire National Republi-
can party. We throw out this sugges-
ton for the consideration of our friends
Boston Patriot.
Ex-President Adams having been ad-
dressed by the American Residents in
Lower Canada on the occasion of his re-
tirement from the Presidency, made to
them the annexed reply. We copy
it from the Essex Register:
ANSWER.
STEPHEN G. BLyTH, M. ID.
Montreal, Canada.
Quincy, 9Th Sept. 1880.
Sir,-I have received the letter dated
the 4th of July last, signed by yourself
and Mr.. A. w. Robinson, for other A
merican Residents in Lower Canada
Considering the estimate which you
have been pleased to make of my public
character and services, as a token ofyour
regard, it could not but be highly graft
flying. Aware how far it transcends any
pretensions of mine to the appreciation of
my fellow citizens, or of my fellow men,
| perceive in it motives Of gratitude to
those from whom it comes; and of regret
that the reality should so far have fallen
short of the representation. AT the close
of life, chiefly occupied in the dis
charge Of public trusts, | am conscious
of no claim to appreciation other than that
of invariable good intentions; claim
which | have no right to deny to others,
whether my predecessors or Successors.
The share that have occasionally had
in the Government of my country, while
on the one hand il convinced me,
How small of all that human hearts endure;
That part, which Laws or Kings can cause or cure;
On the other it taught me that the
best intentions, avail as little to their
possessor, without the benefit Of candid
constructions, as to those whom he
serves, without that Of friendly cooper
alton. But wherever the favor of the
confidence ofthe People may be bestow-
ed, you will heartily join me in the hope
that it may result in their own welfare
and prosperity.
| am with sentiments ofhigh consider
alton,
Yonr Friend and Countryman,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
