Mr. Mams and the Federalists. It
is with extreme reluctance that we no
tice some further developments, respect
ing the celebrated "Webster Pledge"
which places the President of the United
States or Mr. Webster, in a very humi
liating situation, in fact, the evidence
is conclusive, that Mr. Adams has au
thorised the public and positive denial
of an act committed by him, or Mr.
Webster has wilfully deceived several
individuals. That our readers may dis
tinctly understand this subject, we give
the following brief sketch: Sometime
since it was stated in the Richmond En
quirer, and strongly corroborated from
several sources, that pending the late
Presidential Election several gentlemen
of the federal party, who held a prepon
dering weight in the Congressional dele
gations of several States, where hesita
ting in their determination in regard to
their vote on that occasion; that Mr.
Webster, as a friend of Mr. Adams, was
applied to, in order to ascertain what
course the latter would pursue to that
party, in the event of his election; that
Mr. Webster prepared a written state
ment favorable to their views, which
was revised and corrected by Mr. Ad
ams, who made the expressions still
more favorable; that this document was
shown, or its contents communicated, to
Mr. Van Renssalaer of New-York, and
to Mr. Warfield of Maryland, who in
consequence thereof subsequently gave
the voles of these States to Mr. Adams;
ami it was ottered to be shown to Mr.
M'Lane of Delaware, who indignantly
refused to see it. After the Presiden
tial Election, on his return home. Mr.
Webster pursued the same course with
several leading federalists in Pennsylva
ma in--uciBC), amungwDom were
designated Messrs. Walsh and Hookin-
. cm i. i.i i . . v
son oi rnnaueipnia, and Messrs. R. and
R. F. Stockton of New-Jersey. In sup.
port of the above statement. vv h
the testimony of Messrs. Frelinghuvsen
4.4iuit:i ana ranter; to them Mr. R
Stockton declared, that -
! -'Mr. Adamspromised or avow-
cd it to be ins lnieuuon, u uieui
ed President, to give the federal
party a fair participation in office;
which promise, as reduced to wri
ting by Mr.. Webster, in order that
there should be no possible mis
take, he sanctioned by an interli
neation with his own pen, and de
livered it, thus altered more pre
cisely to suit himself."
The Editor of the New-York Even
inp Post, states that Mr. R. F. Stockton
impliedly admitted to him, that
"Mr. Webster, after detailing to
him (R. F. Stockton) the history
of the pledge, asserted that he had
it then in his possession, in black
and ichite, and offered at the same
time to shew it to him."
The Evening Post also declare?, on
the authority of Joshua Foreman, Esq.
that at a recent meeting of the people in
Somerset, N. J.
Mr. R. F. Stockton "stated to
them the history of the Webster
Pledge, with all the concomitant
circumstances, precisely as it has
been repeatedly stated in this pa
per; excepting, indeed, that he did
not mention Mr. Webster's name,
but contented himself with allud
ing to him so palpably, that not an
individual of those present was at
a loss for a moment who was
meant."
In addition to the above, we have the
following decisive, although indirect, ac
knowledgement of the existence of this
pledge, from one of Mr. Adams' most
devoted partizans, who was designated
as having, a knowledge of its contents
a short time since Mr. Walsh stated in
his paper:
"The utmost that has been al
leged, with any semblance of
truth is that one or two mem-
mers of Congress, federalists, who!
decidedly preferred Mr. Adams :
to (jrcneral Jackson, on the broad-!
est grounds, wished to know before
they definitively resolved to vote
for him, whether, if made Presi-j
dent, he would pursue the policy;
of excluding federalists from of-j
lice, and they accordingly asked .
for information on the subject!
from Mr. Webster, or some other!
mend of Mr. Adams, supposed to
be acquainted with his sentiments.
"To this application, the gentle
man addressed gave a written an
swer, which had the approbation
or revision oj Mr. Adams:
What will the reader think, if in the
face of this indisputable testimony, Mr.
Adams authorises an Editor in New
York to declare upon his authority, that
the statement, by whomsoever told, or
by whomsoever vouched for, is utterly
and in all respects untrue, and with
out the slightest foundation!" Yet
such is the fact. The New-York Ame
rican recently repeated the denial of the
ch arge, as follows:
"We now state, that the Presi
dent of the United States declared
to the writer of this paragraph,
that, he never had at anytime, to
any body, written, dictated, or in
terlined in any manner, any letter
promising employment or protec
tion to the federalists, in case of
nts (Mr. Adams's) election to the
Presidency, or any thing to that
effect. The declaration was broad,
unqualified, and made with the
knowledge (fur he was infnrmrwl
that iHiclMvas the main object of j
ic imjuny; mat it would be pub
hshed; and we relv most implicit
ly upon its truth, as we are sure
every, man' of decent self-respect
in the nation will " 1

uie seconu weunesaay in rebru
ary, the certificates shall be open
ed by the President of the Senate,
in the presence of the Senate and
House of Representatives, and the
votes shall then be counted.
We wait with anxiety to see the re-
suit of this well authenticated charge
and equally positive denial. Will Mr.
Webster still remain silent? In the
winter of 1806-7 Mr. Adams openly
abandoned the federal, party, and pri
vately declared to Mr. Jefferson and
Governor Giles of Virginia, that his mo
tive for so doing was the "treasonable
views" entertained by the leaders of that
party. In 1814, Mr. Adams in a letter
toLeavitt Harris; unequivocally charged
the federalists, whom he designated as
"half the nation," with being sold by
their prejudice and their ignorance to
the enemy." Notwithstanding these
unsavoury charges, and this desertion of
Mr. Adams in the hour of their adversi
ty, in 1824 we find the federalists rally
ing in his support, and in JS28, with
some few exceptions, straining every
nerve to effect his re-election. Is it
principles or men, that have thus rallied
the broken and dispirited forces of Fed
eralism not indeed under its formerap
pellation, but under the more attractive
one of "Republicans of every faith?"
New-England. The elections
are progressing in New-England,
and as was expected, the Adams
party arc triumphant every where.
It is now almost reduced to a cer
tainty, that Mr. Adams will get
the entire vote of "New-England,
the whole of New-England, and
nothing but New-England" ex
cepting, perhaps, a few scattering
votes here and there, where the
natives of the "Universal Yankee
Nation," or the federalists, have a
preponderance.

Presidential Election. A corres
pondent of the Fayetteville Amaranth,
gives the following as the constitutional
and legal provisions, on the subject of
electing a President and Vice-President
of the United States:
. "Eaclr State shall appoint its
electors, in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct,
within thirty-four davs preceding
the first Wednesday in December,
at such place, in each State, as
shall be directed by the Lerisla
ture thereof. The certificates of
me electors, containing tl
shall be transmitted to Washing-!
ton City and delivered to the Pre
sident of the Senate, before the
Newbcrn, Sept. 27. A new
species of trade with the West In
dies has recently been commen
ced from this port. It consists in
the article of live stock, Experi
ments have been made which
shew it to be profitable, and wc
hope it will be continued; in which
case our farmers will have a new
resource in the raising of horses,
cattle, and sheep. Tfie more
they can diversify their products,
the better; and, as connected with
this subject, we are glad to learn
that a few of our planters have se
riously commenced the rearing ot
vineyards. We could mention
several within our knowledge
who have planted each s' veral
thousand-vines. One gentle.nan,
in particular, in this county, has
pui iony acres in vines. The
making of the Scuppernong wine
has for years been proved an easy
and profitable business. Two
gentlemen of our acquaintance
are, this season, making experi
ments with the sugar cane, the
result of which wc will be happy
to communicate to our readers;
and two others have actually pro
duced the Spanish tobacco. Ours
is a climate capable of the most
diversified products, and this fact
ought to be, and we hope will be,
improved. Spectator.
