Without pretending to accuratc infor mation on this subject, I much doubt vvhtther the United States were not the only power with which you had a ne gotiation 'jiending on this subject, at this time.—And what gorernment w’ould be so idle and umbrageous as to cavil at your sending us an act, w hich ">.vasto stand in lieu (and a singular sub stitute) of the redemption of your pledge to renew the negotiation ? But I go farther. You say, in the next paragraph, that some other govern ments have availed themselves of the act of 1825. Reasoning upon ordinary principles of political probability and the natural course of. proceeding in such a case, I have not the least doubt that in every instance in which a foreign government has accepted the provisions of these acts, those provisions have been the subject of diplomatic communica tion fronni your Ministers and Charge d^Aft'airs to such foreign governments. Is it possible that the Secretaries of State at Mexico and at Bogota have un ravelled those acts of Parliament, with iheir unaided knowledge of the English laviguage and the forms of English le gislation ? Do you not know that Mr. Peel, (one of the most intelligent of your late col leagues, and whose retirement is the ieaat agreable concomitant circum- ttance of your elevation,) has said even of the penal statutes of England, that, by the time he read through the first •'icction of one them, he got bewildered in the interminable maze of repetitions and legal verbiage, andlostits meanin ‘ And do you tell us gravely that Dr. Gual and Senor Alaman can take up your new navigation act, and read it trippingly, and pass a law corresponding with its provisions ?

Jackson ticem to be indefatigable in their exertions to secure his election, we think it would well comport with the standing and the respectability of iht friends of the existing Administration, tu call a meeting or meetings for the pur pose of adopting such measues as may be deemed nececessary in ))romoting a re- electicnof our present Chief Magistra.e. Manv, no doubt, will decry such a pre position as vain and visionary, un'’ rihe impression that the friends of Mr. Ad ams arc not sufhciently numerous tuj'i;- tify such a procedure; but I prulVss, Messrs. Editors, to know somethinr di' the popular sentiment in regard to il.e approaching important election, in sev eral sections of Norlh-Carolina, and I hazard nothing in saying, that the frier,Js of Mr. Adams are suflicient in nuinUr lo justify such a measure, and that if they display that zeal and activity in pro moting his views which the oppositiou forces here have long exhibited for Geii. Jackson, we may reasonably hope tint the Administration will' yet triumph ia North-Carolina. At any rale, we feel dis posed to try our strength, let the contcst eventuate as it iiiay. We will therefore, at all events, form a ticket in this state for Mr. Adams, for the purpose of giving him an equal chance with his coinpe:i* tor; as we believe that the actije and zealous exertions of his friends will make him the successful candidate in North- Carolina. Mr. Adams has influential I'riends in every section of the state, and nothing bat their influence is now want ing to secure success.—Nothwithstatid- ing tl^e constant exertions of the opposi tion party for their favorite, strong indi cations of discontent and dislike, poliu- cally speaking, are perceptible even iri the neighborhood where General Jack son’s friends are most numerous.
