II the foregoing paragraph be fair specimen Of ths
spirit III which MIR. Calhouns works have been edited,
can have greater than bis friends TO regret
that they did not appear without commentator. On
the death Of John Quincy Adams the whole American
people did that justice TO bis memory which had been
denied him while living; and on the death OF Henry
Clay in the utterance of his countrys grief might be
heard the sigh OF repentance for her ngratitude. Be-
tween these two events Mr.. Calhoun died. and on
that occasion his former political adyersa-es were NOS
backward in comm emoratng his eminent abilities ana
his patriotism In this state of public feeling the con-
fdental friend Of Mr.. Calhoun and the editor OF hs
works comes forward to throw nettes on the graves o.
Mr. Adams and Mr.. Clay. He charges MI Adsms
with having while President of the United States, 10

A HISTORY OF HERKIMER COUNTY BY NATHANIEL
;. BENTON $50. PIP 4s'. Albany: }. hunselL
The portion of the State Of New-York in the upper
valley OF the Mohawk, included in the County Of
Herkimer, was originally settled by emgrants from
the Lower Palaiinste of the Rhine. They left their
native country, like the Puritsns Of Massachusetts,
for the sake Of religious freedom and were aided 10
their enterprise by the Protestants OF England. The
exact date Of their lodgment in the region of the Mo-
hawk has not been ascertained bat it was probably
between the years 1929 and l725 For the first thirty
Eve years after their emigration, they enjoyed state
of tranquility, and made rapid progress in clearing
the lands, erecting houses and preparing defsasss
against attack. In 1857, their settlements de-
stroyed by an expedition Of French and Indians from
Canada; several Of the people killed. and about
one hundred carried into captivity. Another attack
was made the following year upon the settlement on
the south side Of the Mohawk. From that time until
the commencement Of the Revolution the settlers
were not disturbed in their peaceful occupations and
attained eminent degree Of rural prosperity. Dur
