PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
The Editor of the Salem Gazette, says,
"We offer to the public an Address of President Adams at the opening of Congress. There is a manly freedom in it; while there is a precision, which is admirable. He has combined very noble sentiments. He awakens a sense of national honor, while he establishes the most deliberate wisdom. He feels every indignity offered to these States, while he permits no resentment unfriendly to peace. He calls for defence. while he employs negociation. He commends a policy, which has our own prosperity, and not the prejudices of foreign nations, as its object. In this critical conjuncture, when all eyes are turned towards him he has conciliated the affections, and possessed the confidence of the U. States.—Long live the President."
