Fire Of the Flint. The Wings of the town of
Lcdyard, Cayuga county, N. Y, to the number of
2l7 have signed CALL published in the Auburn
Journal in which, after expressing their regret that
the unsulcd Patriot and the interrupted and in
corruptible Statesman, HENRY CLAY, has been de.
feated in the recent election for the Presidency,
they say they feel the duty on them now moro in
cumbent than before, to declare themselves in
favor of
The Tariff Of 1912 as il is
Distribution Of Proceeds Of Public Lands, and in
opposition to
!Sldrey and The .4rncratjon Of Terds.
And deeming it important that immediate meas
ures be taken for organizing for the next Campaign,
they respectfully invite their fellow Wings to meet
for that purpose. This is the true spirit. None
but recreant will abandon the field and the prin-
cipes for which he contended, because lie failed to
conquer uGdo JoWnal.

POLITICAL. AROLITIONISM.

We have been much amused by the perusal in
the Albany Evening Journal OF several columns,
devoted TO a sketch of great Liberty Mass Con-
vention that was in session in that city for two or
three DAYS last week. From the very magnoquent
language of the call, it was doubtless intended to
be an overwhelming demonstration on the part OF
the political aboitionsts All New'lorR, new
England, and good share of New Jersey onp
Pennsylvania were earnestly invited 10 oe present,
but when the Convention got fairly under weigh
it mustered only seventy hye persons, all tod IN
Guiding spectators. But Notwithstanding this fail
ure. Messrs. Gerrit Smith, Jackson, Dresser, Lea
wilt. Lewis Tappan &c. went to work as if they
believed they could CANNON those they have de-
luded into course of action that has resulted in
the election of Mr. Polk, and the probable annexa-
ton Of Texas
We do not find any thing in the proceedings
worth copying They are simply fair subjects OF
ridicule Those who took part seemed to feel
the uwkwaldness oftheir position. All the former
high moral grounds on which they stood have
been deserted, and they pottered about NatNesm
whether Thomas Morris was guilty oil proianc
swearing, Birney's Saginaw nomination, &C.
What miserable stuff all such things are, for par
ty once so high and proud in its professions. II

SEIZURE OF THE ARGENTINE SQUAD
RON

The New York papers contain the particulars of
the seizure, off Montevideo of the Argentine squad
ron, consisting of corvette and several small ves-
sells of war, by the U. s. Frigate Congress- Capt
Voorhees, The published account is the Ar
gentine version of the story, and of course con-
demnatory of Capt. Voorhees, conduct Private
letters received in York ascrbe the seizure of the
squadron to insult offered by one.of its vessels
to the American flag, by firing into the U. States
schooner Bainbridge, Commander Newman This
fire was not returned by Capt Newman at the time,
he seeming to think it mistake or an accident
The circumstance, however, gave rise to a good
deal of comment, and preyed upon Capt. Newman's
mind to such degree that he became deranged,
and on the night of the 18th of October, jumped
overheard in the harbor of Montevideo and was
drowned.

VIEWS OF Mr.. ADAMS. A Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier gives the fol-
lowing sketch of the opinion Of John Quincy Ad-
ans as to what is likely to be the course OF the
coming administration, as developed in converse
ton. 1t is interesting and curious, if not absolutely
important y. Con. and Eng.
$" have beard several gentlemen speak of Con
versatlons held with John Quincy Adams, on the
subject Of the results of the late election. His O.
pinions Of interest at this time, and he is by no
means reserved in making them known. He says
that Texas will be brought into the Union and
that the British government will simply protest
against the act and avail herself of the example &c
carry into execution some of her own designs.
"She will, he says, Take possession Of Cuba, and
we cannot complain Of it, after taking Texas. G
Britain, he says, will guarantee 10 Spain the same
amount of revenue that she now receives from Gu
ba. As to France, he says that government canno
complain of the act, for she has taken possession
of Agiers, and Great Britain will allow her to ex
tend her African possessions as far as she pleases
Mexico, he says, will not make war upon US, on ac-
count OF the annexation.
"As to the tariff, he says it will not be essential
ly modified, during Mr. Folks administration. The
Government will need the whole OF the presen
revenue, especially after the annexation of Texas
There must be an increase of the navy and arm,
on that account.
"The next Presidential contest would be be
tween Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Wright Mr. Calhoun
would necessarily, in his opinion, have at least tn
option of remaining in the State Department.
