MIR. Adams's Posthumous Opinions.
To The Editor of the Union:

For the purpose of poppng up sinking cause certain
honorable gentlemen OF the wing party have recently
the late John Quincy Adams upon the subject Of the
presidency 1t seems to be an important point with the
Leaders OF that party to impress upon the minds OF their
of Gen Taylor but expressed himself in favor of his
election notwith standing the General fought in the wick
ed and unconstitutional war which Mr. Adams constant
" opposed and belonged that class of citizens who
were the particular adherence of the late venerable gen.
tleman from Observation-Disclosures shareholders The wit
and authentcaors OF these Posthumou. opinions
of Mr. Adams are the Hon. Mr.. Hudson, of Massachu-
sets, and the Hon. Mr. Cingman, of North Carolina;
thus giving northern and southern complexion to the
affair, like the visage of Gen Taylor upon the Wilnot
Provso
1t is not my purpose to dispute the veacy of the hon
orable gentlemen who have volunteered the reporters
and auihentcators of Mr. Adamss posthumons opinions,
although the Boston Whig conducted by his son, Chas
f. Adams pronounces their story fraud; but my sole
object is TO show that the late venerable ex President
uttered other poshumons Spnons u with those
formed that in the presence OF several eminent gentle
men, of them from other countries he predicted the
denomination OF Mr. Polk And ne added, that II ne
reasons the disordered state of the wing party, and
their course with respect to the Mexican war He

the sentiment of the country warlike, and the
people favor of the acquisition OF foreign terri

The nation, would be renominated and elected
Thus it would that the venerable ex-President
