JOHN @. ADAMS ATTACKING EWING, RO-
BERTS, AND Bolts!

The honorable John @. Adams, in his rhap-
sody on the Veto Message, speaks of the Presi-
DENTS sentiments as "divulged at convival fes-
rivals, and obtruded upon the public eye by the
fatal friendship Of sycophant and private cores
pondents." Did he intend this as one of his
usual sarcastic cuts upon riend-a stab under
the fifth rib of a man he protested TO eulogise
Is it Ewing, Roberts, or, more than either, John
Minor Bolts, he means? The one was eager to
steep himself in infamy by the revelation of Sc
cre,s hitherto held inviolable; the second di-
vulged to the craving appetite of the public the
contents of strictly private letters--a crime as
dishonorable to a gentleman as petty larceny.
