The Prpsideni.-The last report Of the Opposi.
tion spias is, that the President gave two dollars to
an improver Of " she manner OF propeling steam
hoass;' gratuty which the Telegraph sneeringly
styles Princely munihscnce We know nothing
OF the merit OF the asserted improvement or Of the
character Of The improver and in TACT. nsyrr hear
the snecdote before. But admitting il to be true.
we think President Of the United States would
soon be in bad way if he were to give two llars
to every applicant for bis bounty. The ipsinaation
against Mr.. Adams was made BY the Telegraph,
under the expectation probably, ,ha, it would pass
unnotcrd the established character OF that print
beng such that its statements are seldom con
sidesed entitled to the formality Of denial II is
well known that no incumbent OF the office now al
led by MIR Adams, was ever more accessible than
himself to the applications OF poverty to his purse
or ever opened that purse more literally Tor the
encouragement OF literary enterprise. OF scientific
and mechanical inventions, and OF public institutions.
We happened recently 10 know that he gave
one hundred and fifty dollars towards the rebuilding
OF College IN Maryland named after the Father OF
his county and hund, ed dollars to an Episcopal
Seminary in Ohio. .Nunerous instances OF his lib
erali,y are known 10 the Inhabitants Of this city, be
sides his subscription Of TWO hundred dollars for the
relief of the illpstrous author OF The Declaration OF
Independence. In Fact, Mr.. Aaams's generous dis
oslon on pecuniary subjects, is we'll under stood,
TIA, illustrations of it amos, as supeffuous, as
denial OF il is ridiculous. Nat. Journal.
