Martinsburgh Gazette

The National Intelligencer of the 12th says, "The evening of Wednesday happened to be one of which the President's mansion is open to his friends. As may well be supposed, an unusual crowd filled the spacious apartments. Mr. Adams, the president elect, was there, and so was Gen. Jackson more conspicuous, or more honorable to himself. There was a laudable magnanimity in the manner in which he saluted Mr. Adams, and congratulated him on the event which had that day taken place. If Mr. Crawford had been present, we have no doubt he would have done the same. A kindred spirit pervaded the whole scene. The friends of the different candidates mingled together, and conversed with a good humor and frankness finely contrasted with the virulence and malignity which, in some parts of the country, had attended the discussion of this question before it came to the House of Representatives."
