THE ABOLITIONISTS rs. JOHN @.
ADAMS.

1t is stated that the AboIitionists, or as
they like to term themselves 'anti-savery'
societies have denounced John Quincy
Adams and refuse to recognize him as an
Abolitionist of their stamp. THIS is good
policy. Mr.. Adams says he never was a
member Of any of their societies, but he
has done them much good service. He
will now be able to act more effectively
than ever. While he was on good terms
with them, what he might say or do, could
be said to come from an interested source !;
now every blow struck in favor of their
projects, every kind word spoken in paIli-
alton of their fanaticism, will come from
one whom they have denounced-from one
who will occupy the position of man who
utters the language of candor and truth,
and does evcn-handed Justice to his enc.
mics. What does it matter if man is not
a member Of an abolition society; or is e.
ven denounced by them, if he is in the
prosecution of projects which will aid and
further their designs, which are calculated
to in ure the slave. holder and agitate the
country with n question with whith Con-
gress has no concern? Mr.. Adams is not
at all displeasea at the attitude in which
they have placed him; he would not have
them own him for friend. All the de.
nunclatons they can utter against him, will |
only strengthen the positions he has taken
in their favor. and against the South. Their
friendship would be fatal to him-lheir
praises a rerroach-ho and they under
stand each other. We suppose it will now
be attempted to impose him on us as a
good friend to the South, and staunch adj
vocate OF slavery interests. Men seldom
make such radical changes at fourscore;
and we shall require some stronger evil
dence before we cease to distrust the
champion Of Abolition petitions.

A NEW STATE.

VERY CONTEMPLATE.

Mr.. Hale. Of New Hampshire. in the
debate upon the bill refunding Gen. Jack
son the fine imposed on him by Judge Hall,
said, "there was too much importance
placed upon contempts OF courts; the peo-
pie thought contempts of courts were The
most contompthle things in the world" If
the author of this sentiment meant t. say
That was contemplate in any man 10 in.
suit court, he was certainly correct; but
we presume he had n different meaning
He evidently intended TO say, that it was
but slight matter to insult court, that
courts deserve bnt little respect, that they
ought not to be placed beyond the lawless
nsoence of any 'sovereign" who may
choose 10 insult and outrage the necessary
institutions Of the country, established by
the will of the people. This sentiment of
Mr.. Hale would disgrace Mike Walsh or
the most rlbid radical amongst his follow
ers. Were the courts not established by
the will of the people themselves for their
benefit? Do they not constitute Il most Vi
tai portion Of the body polite? Without
them would we not be an absolute mobor-
lacy? Would there not be an end to all
Justice and order? Is not a contempt of
the court direct contempt Of the people
who established he court? "Too mach
importance placed upon the cnotempls Of
courts!" The man who talks in this way
is fit only for the ranks Of mob. liz
would have done goai service under Jack
Cade. There was nothing in the case Of
Gen. Jackson which called for any such
remark. His friends take the ground that
he showed no contempt of court. If a
Judge transcends his authority, like all
public servants, he is amcnab'e to the pro.
per tribunals,

national bank is unconstitutional and in
eypedient: he believes that the proceeds Of
The sales of The public lands ought TO be
placed in the national treasury, for the
purpose of defraying portion of The ord.
nary expenses of the government; he be-
lieyes that the veto power, as il at present
stands in the constitution, is a salutary
provision, necessary for proper balance
Of powers in the departments Of govern
ment; he believes that the Independent
Treasury ought to be forthwith established
for the afe-keeping and disbursement of
he public monies; he believes that the
states have certain reserved rights; and
that in cases OF dangerous and palpable in
fractions of the constitution, they have the
right to Judge of the mode and measure of
redress; he believes that the welfare of the
southern States demands the annexation
of Texas to the Union, if sought by that
Republic. Then we are aware that thro'-
out this whole creed he finds himself not
once in company with Mr.. Clay. Why
then should he rank himself amongst the
followers of one who will PROSTATE all his
principles7 Whenever he is able to an.
swer this question satisfactorily to himself,
we are willing to give him a passport to

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSEN-
GER.

The first number Of the tenth volume
of the Southern Literary Messenger ar
rived yesterday, containing an unusual
number of interesting articles. Among
them are Letter on an international Copy
right Law, by Simms' review of Donna
Florida, poem by the same author; the
conclusion of the reply to Mr.. Websier's
Bunker Hill Grafton; Darby Anvil; nno-
Their specimen of Georgia Scenes, by Long
street; and Cheap Literature; its charac
ter and tendencies, by Southron. This
last article displays much beauty Of style
and vigor of thought We derived the
same pleasure from its pernGal that we
would from reading one OF Inc letters Of
Iunius, or an Grafton of Curran. The wri-
Ter takes a proper view OF the trashy pub
locations The present day. They have
BEEN and will be productive of infinite mis-
chief. The frivolous and licentious pro-
ducions of Paul de Kock ami M'dme Dl-
devant alias George Sand, are unfit to be
read or disseminated. We are of opinion
however. that many things which they ne
YER saw, are imposed on the public under
the sanction of their names.
Mr.. Minor, the present editor, is well
sustaining the ancient reputation of the
Messenger. We hope it will be literally
and extensively potronizod North and
South.

REDUCTION OF SALARIES.

The Legislature has made a considerable
reduction in the salaries of many officers
Of the state. We are not in favor of sala
ries being to high nor of any public com.
pens,tian being disproportioned to the p.
mount Of services performed; but in the
present instance we think the salaries OF
the judges and district attorneys were rea.
sonable enough. The salaries should al
WAYS be such as 10 command the best a .
bilitics. The reduction of salaries has
always been favorite species of small
demagougeism. Ifa measure of the kind
has its origin in pure motives, if it really
intended TO relieve the people from bur-
dens they are unnecessarily bearing, no
one would te reader than ourselves TO
commend the act and applaud the mover;
hut it is too often the case that popularity
at home, some future election, some Of
fee which may become vacant, is he sole
iaciting motive to this "great measure Of
and reform" This hobby
derives some nourishment also from the
deep hostility which some persons enter-
tpin TO the whole judicial system, and law
in general.

The citizens of our town had quite a
treat the other night in listening to lee.
ture from the Rev. James SIN tn, of Ken
lucky, against the Doctrines Of Infidelity.
Mr.. Smith has some admirable qua 'ites
for a lecturer. He has that in his manner
that will always fix the attention of the
most careless listener. We have seldom
seen any one who possessed happier pow
ers Of defamation. His voice is a deep
bass, and has all the volume, power and
lcXibity 50 necessary to a successful DC,
claimcr. When exerting i. to its extent,
which he did in some Of the more ANNA
ted passages, we thought of that "harsh
thunder" which Milton saws hel's gate
'grntcs on its hinges" He has certainly
studied the masters of the histlionic art.
and TO some purpose.
His argument we did not think had the
same merit. We are aware OF the great
difficulty of condcnsing into the space Of
an hour or two, range OF augmentation
which would occupy a volume; bat we do
not think he selected the strongest
points, nor the most attractive part of
the subject We would not have had him to
have gone into the positive and historical
evidences Of christianity, that part Of the
subject rs hackneyel, and could not have
been reviewed with justice in the course

ciple of carrying the war into the enemy's
is attacking inideIty as a
scheme Of religion. To this part of the |
subject we aIlude when we say we do not |
think he selected the strongest points.
His argument perhaps, took too much for
granted in saying that infdelity contained
n system of religion. This point should
have been fortified at the outset with the
strongest reasons IN his intellectual armo-
ry. His argument in a sylogistic form
would stand about thus: lufdclity is a
scheme of religion; if it fails TO solve GER
ain difficulties, it is false; if il be false,

We don't know how the friends of that

personal hostility to Martin Van Buren,
Rives is opposed to the Independent Treas

may bring the latter into existence, with
