brston on Friday II last week, al bingham, hsssa-
chusetts. of the abolition OF slavery in the British
Indies letter was read from Mr.. Adams, addressed
to Miss Quincy bsyer, who is supposed to be the
Secretary Of the Association.
The Boston Courier has published an extract from
that letter. occupying about two squares of one Of its
columns, in which Mr.. Adams speaks OF the Texas
treaty.
To show the eIoqucnce in which this dignihed gen
tleman discouIseth, and the chss,c language which
he employs-he who at one tine filled the chair OF
professor Of Bellies Lsires Harvard University and
at another time the chair Of Chief Executive Magis
tr ate of the Union, we make a few extracts from
the small 20 ton of the letter referred 10. II must
be rccollec,ed tho letter WAS addressed TO female
to be read to an association Of females.

Aside from the calm, dignified, and decorous Ian
guage which have quoted from the short extract
published from Mr. Adams's letter, there is something
markaby respectful TO the Chief Magistrate OF the
nation-hghly becoming who has the reputation
Of being an eminent statesman, and who once occu-

Blu, to be serious. What stronger evidences can
be wanting than the EXPIRE sions quoted 10 satisfy
any one that Mr. Adams is laboring under mind dis
eased. 1t is constitutional with him. His father, du-
ring the las, few years Of his life, exhibited thesame
symptoms. He qua relied with many Of his old st
ard warmest friends for imaginary causes. He

We intended to have stopped here; but as Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Benton have joined ia the fraiernal
wall That Mr. .lay ia IOt
the present friend of BOTH extend our article for
the purpose of making few extracts from the pub
lshed papers e both those gentlemen.
Mr.. Clay, in his letter to Mr.. Miller, dated the LIST
july falls but little If any thing short Of NJ. adams
in giving utterance to malignant passion against Pre-
sidept Tyler. We make a quotation or two from
that letter. MIR. Tyier's abominabie treaty

tionable manner, for sinister purposes" Notwith-
standing the hostile disposition here eyinccd 10y MIR
Clay TO Mr.. Tyler, he MAKES sore complaint Of the
abuse no has received in certain quarter. He says
no man in tie United States has been hall much
abused BY them 1.-The sbolnioni.'-> "s'O ooo"'
MIR. Clay can lavish abuse with an unsparng hand on
hers, but complains when the bitter chalice ap-
piled 10 his own lips.
l6,h, 18th, and ooh May last, dissolved Mr.. Adam'
from all the blame he had previously heapcd upon him
in relation to the treaty of 1919. He transferred tn,
blame unto Mr.. Monroe and his Cabinet He en-
braced Mr.. Adams, and they agreed mutually TO Inv,
hereafter solely to support the Constltuliyn. Dsin

10 the speech OF Mr. Benton, made on the LII
June, is this elegant expression, one that would Dc
credit 10 the eoquence OF has iiend Mr. Adams -
" he devil is now pulI,d from under the b. aukeL
This was in reference 10 President Tyler! Again
in the same speech, he mputes 10 the President thu

10 Lis speech Of May, Mr.. Benton charges tina,
Mr.. Tyler wants to De President and different on
the perfuned fop in Shakespeare, t, whom the sm,l
OF gunpo~ der WIS offensive he no, only waits te
smell that compound, but also 10 smell Of it. liz
wants m odor Of the 'riiianoun compound upor
him."
These are few Of the elegant expressions Of
three distinguished individuals, one Of whom has
been President Of the United states, and the Other
two are aspirsnts TO that high ofhce.
Mr.. Clay denounces the Aboli,ionis,s for having
abused him more than any other man in the Unil,d
States was abused. Mr.. Adams abuses Presl
den, Tyler and charges him with beiog " sc e.
styled President" having in view the deliberate
purpose Of ovcrrenching, overturning, and desto
ing the system Of policy of the British nation tc
promote the abolition Of slavery throughout the
world"
Mr.. Benton has found out that Great Britain dis
svows, flour times over" any design to interfer,
