' A ;SKETC|i OF JOHN Q. ADAMS. Mr* Adams returned to this country in ISOO.—^^It vvill be renvemhered that the, di visions into parties, though perceptible, were not very pronfiwent, in 1794, when ho was first sent ahfQad:. Before his return these divisions' had been marked by the defeat of h is father, and the election of Mr, JeffeTsoh. His opinions on questions of party politics were not generally known to his countrymen ; it Was naturally suppo sed that the son would Jiot separate from his/father, who was then the object o f very ^general calumny, and by anticipation he had been Aonore^ with a full share o f abuse from the republican. papers. The federal friends of his fother welcomed him as one of themselves, andtoqfoto any oeqasion bad occurred\ to call for an expression of opin ions, indeed before he had time to form them, in 1801, they elected him a member of the state. S enatevv^ThM Jm -di^ con sider himselLbouTidToany party is evident On Monday the 23d ult. Mr. Rufus Edson,of Italy, aged 63, was instant ly killed by a stroke of lightning, while standing under a tree, during a. thunder storm, in the town ofPrattsburgh. H e was touch.respected as a citizen, and an exem plary member of the Methodist Society. On the same day, in ffie adjoining town of W heeler, Mr. James W heeler was Idled in the following manner: Being alarmed at the fall of a tree across the roof of his shorn he rushed out, and at the distance of abou\^ 20 feet from the door, was struck down by another tree which the violence of the wind had blown over, and survived only two hours. On the ensuing day, a barb belonging to Mr. Jabez Gillet, of Pra fsburgh,’wasstruck ■ i r • • - . » by lightning and consumed. \ In Richmond, on the'20th ult..Mr. Dan olincti The ground, jt occupies is high and. unequivocal; the language it utters, firm, fearless and independent. The people of Colleton disdain any thing like a mere evasion of the law. They would not form associations to counteract it, nor agreements not to use northern manufactures, nor would tbeyr resort to any mode, whatever, wliicli, whilst it would go to eifentnyent the law, would be tantamount to an-acknowl^dgment of the right of Congress to enact it, and thus tend to fix the. oppression irrevocably upon the country.* They disdain a ll this, as de basing to their feelings, and as a. virtual re linquishment of their rights ; but denying 'its constitutionality, a n d being determined not to submit to their exactions, they recommend distinctly such “ Open ^ Resistance,\ as be comes “a Sovereign and independent State.\ The following are extracts Irom the treas onable address itself: “ What course is left for us to pursue — If we. have the conwnon pride of.men, or the determination offrqemen, we must res ist theimpositionoi this tariff. We stand com mitted.., To be stationary is impossible.'— W e must either retrogade in dishonour and in shame, and receive the contempt and scorn of our brethren, snperadded to our wrongs, and their system of oppression, strengthened by oiir toleration: or, wq must, “ b y opposing, end them.” “ In advising an attitude of open resis tance to the Laws-of the Union, we deem it due to the occasion, and that we may not be misunderstood, distinctly but briefly to state without argument, our constitutional faith. For it is n o t enough that imposts la i d i^ the protection of domestic manufactures are op pressive, and transIeL in their operation, millions of our. property:,to northern capital is t s ! 'I f We have given our bond, let*them taku our blood. Those who resist these imposts must deem them* uncontilutional, and the principle is abandoned by the payment of one cent, as much as ten millions.” “ Not, then, from a desire of disunion, or to destroy the constitution, but it- is that we may preserve the .-Union, and bring back the constitution to its original uncoxrupted principles, that we now advise you to resist its violation. From the rapid step of usurp ation, whether w e noW act or not, the day of open opposition to the pretended powers of the Constitution, cannot be far off; and it is that it may not go down in blood that we now call upon you to resist. iel Morel;/ was killed instantly, by the fall of a limb of a tree, which he was felling.

State Convention of Young J/eB.— The committee appointed by the Republican Young Men of the city of New York, have issued an Address calling a convention of young men at Utica, on the 12th day of August next. Its object is set forth.in the two following paragraphs. To the Republican Young Men ’ of the State of .Yew York: A large body of your fellow citizens, represented by the General Committee of the Republican Young Men of the city of New York, and acting in'concurrence with hon&uiable (for all men in high places are by couitesy called honourable) member of °'^*’selves standing underneath^ its mighty protection, and declaring forth its free and recorded spirit, when We say we must re sist. ~By all the great principles of.Liberty —by the glorio.us achievements qf our fath ers in defending them—by their noble blood poured forth like water in ^maintain- ihg them—by their !iye.s in suffering, and their deaths in honor and in glory,—our Odffntrym’en J' we ihuH resist N o t secret ly, as fimid Thieves or skulking Smug*- glers—not in companies and associations, like money-chafferers or stock-jobbers—not separately and individually, as i f this was ours and n o tour Country’s cause,—but openly, fairly, fearlessly and unitedly, as becomes a Free Sovereign, and Independ- the Committee of Republican Young Men of Albany, Rochester, Utica, Tioga, and Poughkeepsie, & actuated by feelings cal led for by the present crisis, have unani mously resolved to invoke in the struggle for the maihtenance of the National Ad ministration, a newly organized force; a force, indeed, hitherto respectab'n, but fal ling far short of the weight and power it might justly wield under the conduct and organization which it is the object of this address to invite. It is not without exten sive advice from the most respectable men in every part of the State, that the impor tant and somewhat novel measure has been adopted of calling upbfi the young men of the state of New ’York to step forward and lay a protecting hand upon the cause of their coontry. For the purpose, therefore, of perfecting a system of organization that shall embrace the whole state, and devising and ( anying info effect such measures as w ill best pro mote the election of John Quincy Adams and Richard Rush to the office for which they have been nominated, and* also to se cure the success of such candidates for state office's as may be 'designated by the state convention which is to assemble on 23d day of July next, it is recommended to the republican young men of the state of New \York to send delegates to a general .convention, to be held at Utica on Tues day the 12th day of August next. That these important objects may be more cer tainly attained, the mind of the whole state collected upon a single point, and the We feel the young men fully demonstra ted, it is farther recommended that the joung men throughout the state, friendly to the generri administration, select in their rcbpcctjve counties, in such manner as they may deem expedient, delegates to the said convention; the whole number oY -dele gates from a county, hot to exceed the ntimbeifof towns in such county, and those from cities not to exceed double the num ber o f lyards in such cities. publican. Massachusetts was then, deci dedly a federal state.— In May, 1802, Mr Adams attended a federal caucus, called to to nominate counsellors. At this meeting Mr. Adams proposed that four ofihe coun sellors should be of the republican party. T h e federal leaders said, “ this man is not our friend, but agairist us.\ On tfie only question vyhiqh divided parties, at the spring session, h is federal friends in. Bos ton applied for a bank charter and great efforts were made to Secure bis aupport.-^ H e came out, a t the hazard of his popular ity, in pppositTon to the wishes of his friends, the next, day, apd made k speech in opposition to the hank. Failing to prevent the grant of a charter, he proposed a new section, b y rihich the suhscription to the stock should be open to all th'e citizens of the commbnvrealth ; when this was rejec ted, he voted in the negative on the final passage of tlie bill. Tlie same session, the senate ivas divi ded op a petition for, the removal of two re publican judges. The federal members voting in the affirmative, the repuhlica'b in the negative. Mr. Adams voted in the negative, aud in company w ith Mr. Wood man, entered a protest on the record. Before the close of this seasion a senator to congrefe was chose. Col. Pickering was designated as a candidate, by a federal cau cus. At the first ballot ih the house; Mr.** Adams had ten, at the second, six votes, while at each Of them Colonel Pickering had eighty. Not being able to carry him, the moderate federalists united with the moderate republicans, and elected Mr. Ad ams at t\i*i fourth ballot. Is this being a leading federalist ? The same anticipations .were indulged by the country a t large, on Mr. Adams’ ap pearance in the national legislature, that had been entertained in his own state be fore'his return. It was suppose persona! feeling would enlist him in opposition to the administration. Two months had not expired,* before he gave the strongest evi dence that he would ndt act with a party 7ffaraFan‘'HffiesBiS'.motto was “ God and my country.” - The first measure which was decided on party grounds, w'as an amendment of the constitution, providing that the candidates for the presidency and vice presidency should be respectiveJy designated ou the tickets. This amendment was called for by the attempt of the federalists to bring in Col. B u rr; and it was opposed by all the federal members. Mr. Adams came out and openly advocated the amendment which would prevent the recurrence to a similar course in any future election. The next measure on wFiich he voted with the ad ministration, was on the appropriation for the purchase of Louisiana. What impression the conduct of Mr. Ad ams this first session,.made on the republi cans of Massachusetts, may be learnt by a reference \to the Worchester AEgis a n d oth of the oldest republican prints in the jntfoduceid fte first re olutloh eyqr prestoit- cd to congress in faYpr of internal ituprove-, ments, which did not then pass, but y^aS re- viyeiJ.before tho close ofthe session, and produced the celebrated report oI Mr* Gal latin, which, on motion of Mri A#mS) the^ next session,' was printed apd distributed a- mong the people* In the interval beriVeeA this session and the succeeding^ Mri;Adams ischarged wUU having written; a huriesque sonff in ridicule of Mrf Jefiersoii; of ihis there t j no evidettce^ whatever: the song Was, PPt of a political character i it w'as evidently a satire' on JoeT Barlow’s attempt to rob Coliimhus of the honor of giving his name to one ofthe larg est rivers in'opr 'country ;; acalm p y theh in circulation agdinsf Mh:Jeffers6n is'pbihtedly . ridiculed, Sf classed ainpng other things wMch tke tvtiter called iiicrediblC and absurd.

A Riimbug .—Some days sirice the Ad vertiser published, as a “ real siyn,” that at a meeting of Capt. Gilson’s company of Ri fle-men in the town of Mendott, a ballot was taken on the presidency, which resulted “ in a large majority (more than thirty, out of fifty) for Jackson.” Novv we are assur ed by gentlempp of the highest respectabil ity residing in that neighborhood, that no such ballot ever took p lace; that moreover, not only a majority of the company alluded to, but also a majorily of the electors of-that town are favourable to and will support tlie le-election of .M-r, Adams.
