JonN QUINCY ADAMS And GENERAL 1AY-
LoR.-The I1pr, IS publishes letter from the
Hon Il. l.. Clingman, of North Carolina, IN
which that gentleman confirms the statement
made by Messrs King aud Hudson OF Massa.
cbuseiis, TO the effect that Mr.. Adams just
previous to his death, had expressed himself
in favor Of Gen. Taylor's election to the Pres
dency. We quote The following -
Or the war and IT'S authors he spoke in
strong terms of condemnation. Ihry.' he
sad, referring to the friends Of the admins
tration expect me 10 speak on the war, but
am moi going to do it, This was SAID with
peculiar emphasis. If, he added, i were /,

that would do harm Jle then went on I,
say that he was for peace, and thai the prOpe
way TO obtain peace was to turn out Oi po"el
the present Administrator. lie then spoke
of the Presidential election, and said that Cen
eral TAYLOR would, most undoubtedly, he the
candidate of the Wings. suggested that
some persons were waiting tor further eX-
preston of Gen Taylor views lie instant
iy replied, oh he is a Wing, or Il have lac
doubt but that he Is Wing, and while speak
inu of ,he probable nomination he sad, i he

the North, aud he added mat he had no doubt
that he would be the nominee Of The party -
Though | do not recoIlect ANY particular cx-
preston Of preference To General aylor over
the other " higs spoken Of as probable candl,
dates. vet / cannot be mistaken ~ saying that
he had a settled conviction that he would bc
the candidate of The party, and that he ex-
pressed "A strong desire for rs success. In
fact, he seemed To be- as strongly identified IN
his feelings and views with the wing party.
and as anxious for It's trlumphs as he used Ia
be IN 1874, when MIR. lay Was The candidate
/ was even surprised To hear HIM express a
determination To refrain from discussing The
subject of slavery. IN which he sLally mani
fested So mach interest lest by speaking on II
he should jeopardze lhe success oi ill' party
Subsequently. d"rlng the month OF January
at his own house, hn rf,rled to the sahJect
aid snd, j did not intend 10 speak upon II
but owe YOU one for that speech the olhel
day, alIudmg To my speech on the slave quts
tlon. On nv replying that hoped IL Woui'
leave that Among his unpaid debts, h. laughed
and reiterated his determination nut 10 speak
upon The subject during the session In con
cIusion. allow me to say that have not the

GsN. TAYLOR AND Mr.. .WrBsTER.-There
have been good many ins:nuaiions in the
Barnburncr aud Old Hunker papers, to the ef-
feet that MIR. Webster would refuse To advocate
the election of Gen. Taylor We have always
had the best reasons for believing, that there
was not the slightest foundation for such ru-
mors, but had no authority toeontradict them.
The Commercial Advertiser said, Monday,
"A friend of ours, some weeks ago, was in
conversation with Mr.. Webster, on political af-
fairs, and the Presidential election; in that
conversation, Mr. Webster said, in regard to
General Taylor, all must admit that his own
conduct had been irreproachable, and far
above just complaint. lie had put forth no
pretensons he had stooled 10 no intrigue !;
he had vilifed no competitor, aud used no dis
honorable means for his own nomination. lie
said that General Taylor present position was
not Of his own seeking. lie had met what
seemed to be the call of a large portion Of the
people, and that was all.
These are Mr.. Webster's views Of General
Taylor, and OF his nomination. We venture
to say, that in no respect whatever, throughout
the coming canvass, will his conduct be found,
in the slightest degree, inconsistent there
with"
And, in reference TO this subject, the Cour-
ier d I'm luirer, of Tuesday, says:
1--WE happen TO have personal knowledge
Of the accuracy OF that part Of the statement
vhich refers 10 Mr.. Webster purpose and
readiness to address the meeting in Baltimore,
called TO ralliy the nomination ot Gen. Taylor
for, being then in " ashnglon, we were told
by Mr. Webster himself, on the day preceding
the meeting, that on his way home on business
he meant to stop in Baltimore. and there 10
address the Wings of that city, and exhort
them TO support General Taylor. And We
know that he did go, and was only prevented
from fulfilling his purpose by the cause stated
IN the ommercial-ihe violent Storm, which
rendered pUstponement Ut the meeting neces-
sary.
The urgency Of the buslnrss which called
him home accounts for his not having spoken
at the postponed meeting.
We do not doubi-we have, indeed, cyl-
dence satisfactory entirely to ourselves-that
Mr.. Webster will lend his influence, voice and
vote, 10 the election Of General Taylor.
SINGULAR SuIcIDE.-We find the following
in the Boston Transcript OF Monday -
Mr.. William Oakes, a well known citizen of
Ipswich came up on the o clock raln OF the
Eastern Railroad this morn ny, and while IN
the Ferry boat about third Of the way over
walked Off The stern of the boat, aud nmedi-
aiely sunk, and was drowned He had weights
of shot under both arms. A boat from a
schooner that was passing was on the spot
where he went down the very minute after he
had disappeared. but his body did not rise III
the surface. Arrangements have been made
TO glapple for it, MIR. Oakes was gentleman
OF education and literary tastes. He took an
active part in the exciting reforInatory move
menls Of the day. lie has been engaged re-
Gently upon a work illustrative Of the scenery
and natural history of the White Mountains.

And how did Mr.. Via constrne and receive
these views Of Fillmore? He denounced them
on the spot, as indicating an intention, on the
part Of Fillmore, TO legisl,te away the property
Of the district and Fillmore did not contradict or
repel such construction. Hear MIR. Wise:
"The gentleman says he will ever respect the
property of THE STATES; iut he CLAIMS TO LIZ
GIsLATE AWAY THE PROPERLY or TpIs DISTRICT.
Sir, slave is as much property here as in Yir-
gina-property BY the law and Constitution
And in addition 10 the remark Of the gentleman
from Alabama, (Mr McKinley,) that you will
not surely take private property without Just
compensation, and that you cannot compensate
without taking in part OF the taxes Of the
South TO pay for slaves, will repeat the idea
that, although you have exclusive jurisdiction
over this len miles square, yet il is common
ground, for the good of the whole, and for the
use of the whole people Of every State in the
Union. And would ask of the gentleman if he
can come upon this ground with his carriage and
horses, why cannot l come with rny slaves 10
remain here, to live here as long as pleased
Sir, saY it not in passion, but calmly and dis
passionately, that Congress has no right to abo-
lish slavery even here, against the consent of the
shareholders, who are not represented; and
warn gentlemen that the SOUTH speak for all
as strongly as one man can speak for many, for
millions-the South will fight 10 the hilt against
the abolition of slavery in this district, unless
the Inhabitants, owning slaves themselves, lpeti
ton for it, as they would against any in erfe-
renee with the rights of slave properly in yir.
ginia.''
This is the first step taken by this Sound
man, Fillmore, TO carry out his abolition
sentiments, by interfering with slavery in
he District OF Columbia Three years roll.
d on, ard in October, 1888, he avowed
