The National Republican And Ohio Political Register

From the Petersburgh Republican.

Rufus King.—We doubt whether any appointment ever yet made in this country, has given greater dissatisfaction than that of Mr. Rufus King. to be minister to London. The republican friends and foes of Mr. Adams alike condemn it, as unfortunate and impolitic in the extreme.— We cannot say, that we are very sorry, on Mr. Adams' account; but certainly Mr. King is the last man in the United States upon whom the republican party would have conferred this honour. If, however, the appointment is unpopular with the republicans, it receives the unqualified approbation of the federalists and amalgamation men. We rejoice to perceive, that several editors, who had sent in their adhesion to Mr. Adams, have not scrupled to mark it with their decided disapprobation. This is well, and we commend them for their spirit and independence. A few more such appointments, and farewell to Mr. A's popularity. with his republican friends at least. We have heard not a few already regret having voted for him ; and the time will come, if he goes on in making similar appointments, when he will derive his only support from that party which he affected to desert, in order to break down and destroy the union that existed among the republicans, a union that existed until about the period when he was received into its ranks. We do protest against the error of the press, in relation to the connection of Mr. Adams and the republican party. His inaugural address—his present appointment and the uniform tenor of his life, all make against any supposition that he either: is or wishes to be with the party—it is rather to prostrate it. Let him receive a liberal and cordial support in all measures tending to promote the public good, but let no mistaken notions prevail as to his friendship for the democratic party—his attachments are on the other side of the question.
