The letter from General WASHINGTON to President Adams, is a document of great importance. Notwithstanding the ingenuity and industry of his enemies to calumniate him, he still possesses the full affection of all worthy American people, and the knowledge of his sentiments on the present crisis will be an irresistible incentive to union and federalism. The same fatherly anxiety and disinterested affection for his country, which has ever peculiarly distinguished him, shines, with undiminished splendor, in this Letter. Superseded in the primary annunciation, we yet feel the utmost satisfaction in thus, at this time, adorning our columns. Copies should be so multiplied, that no AMERICAN should remain, who could say,-he had not seen and read it. Our impression of papers is good, and among them we include many who receive no other paper. Other prints circulate where ours do not. How extensive and instantaneous, through these mediums, is the dissemination of any thing important!
