la looking at the complexion OF the llaIns'
burg Convention We find that James Barbour was

convert, having been Mr. Adams Secretary oil

There we're twelve Wee Presidents. Eight Of
whom it is known voted for Johu O. Adams IN
opposition to Gen, jackson. Uu6 Of men hpm'

Der voted for j. q. Adams, and that % oil them
