Letter from the Editor of the National Advocate dated Canandaigua Aug. 8, 1828.
I have refrained from giving my opinion, for publication relative to the Presidential question in this section of the country, until from personal observation, and intercourse with the people, I could speak not only with decision but from my own knowledge. I have travelled in a private vehicle, in a leisurely manner, and my business led me into the more remote and less frequented towns, as well as the larger ones. I have talked by the way, when I lay down and when I rose up, to farmers in the fields, in their houses, and on the highway, in the villages and out of them, and I feel an entire confidence that the western people of the state of New-York will give a uniform and decided support to the Administration. I have found with great satisfaction that with few exceptions, the farmers and all substantial men of whatever profession, are not to be operated on by the genius of opposition, whether it comes in the shape of a "Hero" or a "Tennessee Farmer."
They are friends of Mr. Adams, and they will show themselves so. I have been through many towns, in which I heard but one reply to my numerous and indiscriminate interrogations as to the Presidential question, —"We are all for Adams through here!"
