The other paper in the fate, with one exception, hare already engaged in it; and of these, four are in jfifor of Mr. Calhoun, one ol Mr. Ad ami, and two of Mr. Crawford; the re Wining two, a! though opposed to Mr. Jrawlord, bare not declared themselves n favor of either of the candidates; but t is probable that one of them, if. not 10th. will sunnort Mr. Adams. , The sentiments of the Wilmington Recor Jer are not yet known: bo from recent l . - .a . . ircumstanees, we jure inclined to be- lere, that air.

One of the defenders of Mr. Craw ford, in the Richmond Enquirer, is very wroth against Mr. Calhoun's sup porters, for coupling the name of in trigue with that of the god of his idola try, without proof, as he say. Now, we should like fo know whether he al ludes to positive or presumptive proof.

His remarks, it seems, have raised.the ire of this pedantic Dominie Sampson, who disgorges himself of his store of Latin, which, from the labor it costs him, he thinks may well be taken instead of argument, and which, he would hope, would give to his coinmuni cation the nemblance of much wisdom and deep research; but alas! like his great prototypes, the. aforesaid Domi oic Sampson and Peter Pangloss, the in- venco commas attrcned to (hem pro claim they are not the working of his own brain, but borrowed plumes with which he bedecks himself.
