full the address or Hon. John 01ineg
Adams to his constituents, delivered
on the 9Th September. IL IS a gene
eral review Of the great political queaa
tons which have for years engaged tbe
attentions Of the people ofthis country.
Every portionyof il displays that emi~
nent ability which marks all the efforts
of this distinguished statesman. We
copy his portrait Of the President Of
the United States, which though e1-
ceeding accurate, cannot be regarded
as at all fauering:

of the Wings in 1910, in their iriun-
plant struggle to put down the STAN
dard Of the Northern man with South

trencamens, reform, and Wing fesis-
lance to Executive usurpauons has
crept up to the summit oil power, and
there proclaims himself democrat

legislative power, declares in SO many
words that Congress can enact no law
without his sanction, stigmatizes the
leading members Of Congress, Of the
party by which he was chosen as the
cOadjutor of Harrison, TO achieve the
great and glorious work Of reform, as
housing poIiticians--sets all the trum-
pets ofthe press, paid by his dispensa-

against Congress, the real legislative
power for failing TO restore the public
prosperity, while he defeats by his We

tive offices under his control, honest
and honorable men, true republicans
and ardent patriots, Ike Jonathan Rob-

plants and time-servers-levies money
upon the people. upon authority so
questionable, that his own Secretary OF
the Treasury believes it TO be without
and against law;and to crown the whole
system Of misrule, approves and signs
an act Of Congress, and deposiles in
the Department Of State, an argument

most wholesome offs provisions:
Felow-eitizens, it was this glaring
character Of the man in my estimation

wavering, Inconsistent, and yet obsti-
nate conduct throughout the whole OF
his proceedings with his first cabinet,
