maintained by the law and order party of Rhode Island. The origin of government, the relative duties of government and it's ci. tiZens, the precise meaning of the term peo- pie, and whole people, who should take part in the adoption of constitutions, they only who are the qualified voters, the mode of change, observing the forms of law, fling at modern democracy, with many fine touches of real eloQuence, comprised the matter of Mr. Adams address.
 He concluded by saying that if he had the choice of party name, it would be that of ConStitutiOnGlists, indicating love for that instrument which was the work of the uni- ted patriotism and wisdom of our fathers. MT. Adams stated one interesting fact aS to 1 the adoption of the constitution of Massa- chusetts. That the whole number of per- ! sons voting for it did not exceed 15,OOO, gi- wing one vote to every S5. In this state the | vote is about one to l6.
 After the conclusion of the lecture, MT. Adams spent an hour at the residence of John Lane Boylston, Esq. Previously, he was called upon by the Governor, Secreta- ry of State, Mayor and other citizens. He left this morning in the cars, and this eve ming will deliver an address at Nantick, 20 miles from Boston.
 ! MT. Adams is more than 76. reads without spectacles, seems to be as vigorous as he was twenty years ago. The lecture was a bitter pill for Dorrism.-Prov. Chronicle. ] My. Van Buren 0t the So1nh.-It would seem from present indications that MT. Cal houn is to receive the united vote of the southern states, in the Loco Foco conven- tion to nominate e candidate for the next Presidency. Certain it is that MT. Van Bu- ren, notwithstanding life of "truckliLg''to to southern interests, is rapidly losing ground in that section of the Union, while his South Carolina competitor is daily growing stron- ger.

 TUSCALOOSA, Nov. 5, 1642. "It gives me great pleasure to learn the alacrity with which you enter into the sup. port of the noble Carolinian. am heart and hand in the good cause, and have not been backward in saying so. In my opin- ion, the integrity and success of the Demo- cratic party depend upon the nomination of MT. Calhoun. Any other selection will doom us, as we have too much been, to the dynasty ot dullness or leave us to the melan- beaten leader. The nomination of MT. Van Buren would leave us in the identical condition we were in, in 1640-in statw q,so, ante 6elluna. How spiritless and unenthusi- astic would such struggle be on our part. Giveru us leader who, by his intellectual greatness, his moral individuality. can ex- cite some enthusiasm-can make the pulse beat quicker when his name is mentioned. Such a man is MT. CalhOon-a men to be proud of! Though differ from him as to Notification, yet feel that this failings leaned to virtue's side.' We Of the SouM must fake care of ourselues. We h0pe had 10 do SO. What did the Northern horse 0chiere in the last race but one upon Oar part the trock The coming contest $ to De are ID sohScR the vitol principles and interests of the south sriN De Gt stake. Shall we be true to ourselves, or shall we again, through over-cautiousness, compromise and throw away our va atage ground! In such things, cowardice betrays worse than treason. l would rather be beaten under such man as Mr.. Calhoun. battling for old hereditary principlcs-our household gods -than to win bootless fight under another leader. But if MT. c. is nominated we cannot be beaten. Count your fingers, and see."
 If this be a fair specimen of public opin- ion among the Loco- Focos of the South, there is no likelihood that the country will be second time doomed to "a dynasty of dullness," in the shape of Van Buren Ad- ministration. The "Northern Horse" will not be suffered to run on the southern track There, as elsewhere, the people have had enough of Kinderhook iockeying.
