termined opponents of himself and of each other.
The great question to day, to be decided by the
American people, is whether the expeditions of
che constitution which Webster gave in his con-
test with Calhoun and his disciples shall he adop-
ted and enforced, or the contempt for couseitu-
tionar obligations taught BY Philips shall prevail
to the end that the rights reserved to the states
may be- blotted out by irresponsible power. What
ever difference of opinion may exist among the con-
servatve element in the nation concerning the cor
rectness Of Webster's political teachings consider
ed as whole, there is none as to the soundness
of his Interpretations of the character and powers
of our government. There is none as to the ne
cessity Of preserving it unimpaired. Upon these
points he stands as distinctly the leader Of the
conservative sentiment Calhoun did the
leader of the secession element He stamped
his impress on the public mind upon all questions
touching constitutional obligations. IL was so
deeply craven that its impress could only be
effaced by n total denial that such obligations
exist Phillips has made this denial and or il
has marshsled the republican party. That par,
ty, while it professed to repudiate his doctrine,
practically enfarced it, and while it professed tc
regard him Visionary and seditious has steadily
advanced to the positions marked by him for its
occupation.

SNAKE-BITE Our friend II. j. Walter, of
Perryton, tells US that while blowing corn
one day last week, being barefooted at the
time, he stepped upon a rattle snake and be-
fore he could remove his foot the snake bit
him in the joint of the big toe. He happened
to have q stick in his hand, with which he
instantly struck and stunned the 'varmint,"
and before it was dead he had it cut in two
with his knife and one of the pieces applied
to the spot bitten. He held it there for come
time, until it turned perfectly green with
the virus. when he replaced it with another
piece, keeping the wound thus covered for
perhaps half an hour. The remedy seems to
have been perfect one, as he tells us that he
has since felt no i'll effects from the bite

The Ohio republican state convention, at
Columbus, the other day, neither declared
for nor against negro suffrage in the south.
not because the convention did not wish to
declare for it, but because it was not ready
to break with President johnson. 1t thus
occupies, without intending to do so, the dem
ocratic position. The democratic position is,
that the people of the north have nothing to
do with the question of negro suffrage in the
south; that it is a question solely for the
southern states respectively and this is Pres
ident Johnson's position. In this position
the democracy supports President johnson
cordially and entirely. We shall see, in
little while, that President johnson, on this
question, will have to rely upon the demo-
cratic and conservative sentiment of the coun-
xy for support.

THE John ADAMS LETTER.

On the day after the Declaration OF lnde-
pendsnce was adopted, and while his soul
was vet warm with the glow of excited feel
ing. John Adams wrote tina following letter
to his wife, which, as we read it now. seems
to have been dictated by the spirit of prophe-
cy:
PHILADELPHIA, July B, ITO.
Yesterday the greatest question was deci-
ded that ever was debated in America; aod
greater, perhaps, never was or will be oecl-
sded among men. A resolution was passed,
without one dissenting colony, "that these
United States are, and of right ought to be,
free and Independents states" The day Is
passed. The 4th of July, l716. will be a
memorable epoch in the history of America.
I am apt to believe 1t will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great anniver-
sary festival! 1t ought to be commemorated
as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts OF
devotion to Almighty God. 1t ought to be
sosmnized with pomps. shows, games, sports,
guns, bells, bonfres and Examinations. from
one end of the continent to the other, from
this time forward forever. lou will think
me transported with enthusiasm, but l am
not. / am we'll aware of the toll and blood
and treasure that it viii cost to maintain this
declaration and support and defend these
states, vet, through sll the gloom, can see
the rays Of light and glory. can see that
the end is worth more than all the means !;
and that posterity will triumph, although you
and may rue, which hope we shall not.
Yours &C., JOHN ADAMS.
