STARTLING RIMORS.

The following letter from the Baltimore
Sun Of yesterday we lay before our readers
without comment; merely promising that
the rumor in relation to Mr.. Adams we hold
unfounded. At the same time it is but fair
to say, that this correspondent of the Sun
seldom writes wtthom book.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90, 1Sf7.
j. @. Adan,s for The tchOie Of WeriCo-.4
ne,0 Peace PrOspect-z-Nr. Guys and
Mr.. WebSter'S TiewS:--
4 startling rumor prevails in the city this
morning, that will somewhat embarrass the
no territory party. Mr.. Mr.. ]. .. Adams,
it is said, will avail himself of the first ep-
portunity TO declare himself in favor of the
acquisition ofthe whole of Mexico. | was
myself prepared for this course on the part
Ofthe venerable gentleman, from whatl had
heard OF his conversations al Quincy during
the last summer. He expressed the opin-
ION that the war would result in the acqui-
sition and annexation of all MeXico-and
subsequently, his belief that, to avoid this
natural consequence, the Administration
would patch up peace with some Govern
ment ofits own establishment in Mexico.
That peace is not yet patched up, but it
is expected by some that it will be, very
soon after if not before, the injecting of Con
gress. Let the treaty be made, and If ii
provides for the acquisition of any thing
short of the whole Of McSico, there will be
nm opposition to it in Congress of a most
formidable, imposing and vehement charac-
ter. The very Agamcmon ofthe anti-treaty
league Will be Mr.. Adams, as | am well
assured.
The positions lately taken by Mr.. Web
ster and Mr.. Clay are of national and anti
national character, not very well suited 10
the former course and present character of
Mr.. Adams. Nothing but party zeal could
divert Mr.. Adams from a truly national
course in regard To our relations with other
countries. But, in this case, Mr.. Adams
anti-savcry policy will he promoted by the
course which rumur assigns to- him. His
party objects fall III with his patriotic i'm
pulses. BY bringing into the Union a vast
accession of Notwithstanding States, he
lays the foundation for the speedy extinction
of slavery in the fourteen States of this
Union III which it is now tolerated and ten
aciOuslv adhered to-.
Again, the Anti-4SIavcry organs through
out the country have declared favor of the
acquisition and annexation of McXico-''the
whole or onc-immcdlatcly or sooner -
as we used to say of Texas and it is not
likely that Mr.. Adams will, at this late day,
separate himself from his friends on point
deemed by him to be vits!. The very fact
that Mr. Clay talks of the "tiXaton Of the
limits of Texas" and limits acquisition to
slave territory, will he sufficient to deter
mine Mr.. Adams course. The rumor |
regard as important. 1t may not be true; ;
but if it is not, there is no truth in circtm-
Stantial evidence.
