was much amused in reading 8. Harker's Ad-

Gazette of the esd inst.) The ingenuity mani
tested BY the champion of Jackson and Federalism,
is alarmingty striking. After decrying the De-
mocratic Governors Of this State, their principles
and their measures-after having denounced the
ascendency of the Democratic Party as the most
injurious and anarchcal, destructive both to the
I. honor and interests Of the State," and express
sing and implying that neither knowledge nor in
tegrty characterized their minds or guided their
measures, that the Democratic policy was sub
versiye of all goodness and productive of all ev,-
after all this, at the close of his " address, he ex-

Gus head amongst US, plotting the dismemberment
of the Union and the destruction Of Republican
ism, JOHN @. ADAMS stood as mighty champion

and talents in their defence Federalism feels
that he had much to do in her downfall-he has
wounded her deeply and still, with malignity,
she breathes through her agents, the bitterest i'm
