During this discussion, so interesting to the
American people, whilst we have invariably
kent in view the character of n commercial
print, we have never shrunk from the de
claration of our opinion. But it haa been
our aim to maintain a character of modera
tion and justice, dictated equally by a re
aped for the judicious portion of our rea
ders, and our own sentiments of propriety
and decency. As we have never descend

Wilful misrepresentation, we are not reduc

Diittingto a state of things, which, hud we
believed what many of our contemporaries
have advanced, could not be done without
the abandonment of our principles or
the sacrifice of the cause of the Repub
lic. From the commencement of this
contest, which, unfortunately for our cha-
»ader us a nation, has been marked by so
peat a share of disgraceful vituperation, it
was evident that but one of the distinguish
ed individuals before the nation could suc
ceed ; and that the country alone would be
the sufferer, if the others were destroyed.

writers, in its function of electing a Presi

As tar as our observation extended, there
was manifest among the Members nothing
but urbanity and correct deportment, with
a cast of gravity arising from a properson.se
of the importance of the dut y in the dis

From the Correspondent of the Charles

the moment when the ballots were given in
there was the best founded expectations that
an election could not be made,and the result
was in a great measure accidental. It was
known that Mr. Adams would receive the
votes of Maine, Ncw-Hampshire, Massa

nine states. But the votesof Missouri, Lou

44 If the order and dignity of the official
proceedings in this case deserve commenda
tion, not less is to be admired the personal
deportment of those most seriously affected
wit h the result. The evening of Wednes
day happened to be one on which the Pres
ident’s mansion is open to his fripnds. As
may well be supposed, an unusual crowd ftl
led the spacious apartments. Mr. Adams,
tho President, elect, was there, and so was
Gen. Jackson. Never was the usual court
sey of Gen. Jackson more conspicuous, or
more honorable to himself. There was
laudable magnanimity in the manner in
which he saluted Mr. Adams, and congrat
ulated him <»n the event which had that day
taken place. If Mr. Crawford had been
present, we have no doubt he would have
done the same. A kindrid spirit pervaded
the whole scene. Tho friends ofthe diffe r
ent candidates mingled together. and con
