We give it as our i-euled opinion, that there will be no organised pposi tion to Vlr. t’rawfoid in November next. We have conversed with se veral trie d* of Air. Adams, a* and they assured us that whatever* their a tachineots may be, they will go | with the State, and sustain the de j tnonatie parly. There is no opposition of any con sequence to Col. ¥*ung. The Uti ca Convention will come to nothing, i We are satisfactorily assured that Mr. Clinton will uo| allow bis name to be used. The New I ariff Speaking *>f the difficulty said to have been experienced in ascertain ing smite of the Du.ics c ider the new Tariff, ihe Toiiadelphia Ga zeite makes the Toil * wing judicious observaiions: —JV*at. Intelligencer “I'hts we can readily believe, for, to some of the most experienced metvhants of this city, the Tariff, as published by authority, seemed to t o daiu ma-iy incompatibilities , and it is doubMui, now whelier the construction of the Comptroller wdl, in all cases be admitted. Thus, it appears ihai Congress, af ter three month hard labor; produ ced a bill so vague in many of iis piovisioi>, that neither those who are to pay nor those who are to receive, the duties, can tell with eenaimy the pee. ise amount intruded to be imposed on a number of unties of thefiegt importance ! “I he result ought, we thick, to prevent sir future any general m>i tiion ol the Tariff* li oenher mer hauts nor treasury offi ers can tell precisely what Congress would be a>, the presumption is fair, that Congress itself did not k >nw the ex act hearing oi some of its euact ments. The truth is, that a j’a t iff has reference to so many ob jei-ts, that it ought to be establish ed noi by oue act, hui by many Fa eh article, or rather ea* h class of articles, should be the subject of a distinct bill. This holds good, whether revenue or protection, or both eonj ii tly. be the object cf imposing du'ics: tor if is seldom, if ever, that t c same reasoning* ap ply to nil articles inUU< rtinioately. If wr fPM>t regulate trade, let us do it odr sally, and this can never be done by lumping together every ■.pei ies of merchandise. In Great Britain, the first commercial coun ty in the world, changes are al ways made with (be greatest cau tion, aad imposis are altered one at a time. “Tartial revisions cf the Tariff, (when any revisions are deemed ne cessary,) would further prevent tlie improper influenced! local interests on a subject which is strictly of a geueral nature. The effect which a combination of these interests had on the present Tariff, is well known to those who watched the bill in its progress through b.wtb Houses. Kentucky must have this, and Penn sylvania must have that. Neither was believed to he conducive to gen eral god, but ea b was thought advantageous foone particular stale. These particular slates could not, however, insist upon having their particular good consulted without tendering an equivalent, so Ken tueky was forced • gwe this, and Pennsylvania t.- g<rt tuat, till final ty it may he doub ed whether any local inteiesf was much ol a gainer. The general good was a secondary oojßsideraiiovi.” J!r, Adams in Connecticut. The am Vo i of e*eiy mail con firms us iti the op'nion, heretofore expressed, that the Adams ti. ket tor electors in th:B •.late will n-1 p tvail. in this (tiartlmdy evun* t;, NOT ONt thi o, oi tie voiti will 1)4 gt>eu fur that lisk- ei, and in many of the ether cotin ! ties the opposition to it is equally strong. The present prevailing opini n in New-Haven, Faitfielti, and perhaps Litchfield counties is, we giant, in tavor of Mr. Adams, bn the other five counties are de | cidedly against him, and no event 1 can induce them to support his claims. The four republican news papers which oppose Mr. Adams have a greater patronage, and more I extensive circulation, than the re i maining republican papers, which have enlis’ed uodsr his banner* j and as to the federal papers—al though the Minor, Middlesex Ga j zete. New* London Gazette and Norwich Courier have sworn alle giance to this “sprig of nobility,”— yet the other federal papers, as well as a large proportion of that party, seem to prefer almost anv of die presideutiai candidates to M *. idams. Abroad, Connecticut is set down as belonging to those stales which, “ u.sder any circumstances,” will vote for Mr. Adams. But it is high • ime this illusion had vanished. If this state has been sold, the sellers may yet learn that they acted with out authority—something more iban the will of a few factious dem ! agogues being necessary to transfer i her votes to Mr. 4dams. This er roneous opinion as to Connecticut, which prevails abroad, is founded principally on the circumstances, neither of which is entitled to any great weightwe allude to j (he confident assertions of the Ad atns papers here, a> and the nomina tion of President made at New Ha ven, last spriog. As to the firmer, , we have only IQ say that the very : b quious presses of Mr. Adams, count, as being in their favor, every person wno does not take the pains to m ike knoivn to them ins opposi tion } and hy this rule of logic very wisely conclude that the state is for Adams. And as to the nomination, it is still more preposterous, if pos- , sible, to set dowo this as a true in- j dic&tun of the public voice, as to ! the Presidency. Nominations in this state do not always conform to public opinion, but mis one, is the result of a sys tern of intrigue and management without any parallel.—lt was made, too, at a time when Mr, Crawford was reported to be so dangerously i sick that but little hopes were here j entertained of his recovery, and I whilst his character was suffering ■ under the charges of Ninian Ed wards, which from (ha bJd and confident manner in whi h they were made, induced many of Mr. Crawford’s friends to abandon bis cause. Besides, the chief actors in this scene took the very honorable method of gaining proselytes, by threatening vengeance and proscrip tion against every one who dated to think or act according to his own opinion, or, in short, who refined to bend (he knee to their idol. Under these circumstances, was this nomi nation made, and that it does not in dicate what the public voice of this s ate is, on the Presidential ques tion, will be made manifest ai the polls ou the first M inday of Novem ber next. In the mean time, we can assute our friends abroad that Connecticut is safe. [Hartford Times.
