- j der it highly improbable, yet the force of
I bold assertion and sounding declamation,
1 had won upon the suspicions of many
good men, so far at least, as to leave t cm
in doubt. The intelligence of this com-
munity enabled it to know that the P ro °

charge, not from those accused, because
every school boy is aware that the P 1 ^ 50 ,
of a negative is generally impossible, and
in this case it was necessakily so. but

an immense extent.
We have every climate and every soil

able variety of fruit, grain, and vegetable
productions, in a most bountiful manner.
The stately forests, planted by the hand
of Bature, in every direction. The iron,
the lead, the coal, and other minerals to
be found in the middle and western states,
that iriay be transported on various rivers
and canals, at but small expense, are evi

FROM TIIE NATIONAL JOURNAL^
THE TEST ! ! !
Mr. Editor : I am not a meddler in
politics—and take no further interest in
the- party discussions of the day, than, as
au American citizen, is my duty to my
self, family, and country—what man shall
occupy the Presidential office is, and al
ways has been, to mv mind v a matter of
minor importance. If he have honesty
and ability equal to this highest station in
onr country, the constitution furnishes the
map, according to which his course is to
be steered, and I have no apprehensions,
notwithstanding all the din and noise,
vyhicli disappointed and irregularly ambi
tious men may raise, that there can be
anv danger to the liberties or interests of
the people. But when that constitution
itself shall bo violated, or in danger of vio
lation, it musr be regarded as the high du
ly of every citizen, to stand ready for its
defence.
The charge has been repeatedly and
vehemently urged against Mr. .Adams and
Mr. Clay, that the former surreptitiously
obtained the office ot President of the
United States, through the corrupt instru
mentality of the latter, aided by Ins
friends. “ Corruption, bargain, and in-
' trigiie,” have been the rallying words ot
those opposed to the present Administra
tion ; aud throughout the newspapers oi
the Union, and even on the floor ot both
houses of Congress, the charge has been
urged with every circumstance, to give it
emphasis and alarm the public mind.
Without stopping to debate the ques
tion, whether, under the acknowledged
circumstances of the case, the charge can
possibly be true, it is sufficient that a lnigc
portion of the community, and especially
those who have loaned themselves to par-
nnd it
ter of the’ Virginia gentleman be not a j rior, to any other country in
sheer fabrication. rt ' 1
Thus, then, Mr. Editor, so far as this
letter is concerned, the matter, is hi ought
to a clear issue. Did General Jackson
make the declaration therein imputed to
! him? Yt-, or no. Respect for the
i community, love for our institutions, and
i the honor of the country, and a desire to
| promote its tranquiltity, and the cause of
! truth, all conspire in an appeal to Gene
ral Jackson’s candor, justice and patriot
ism, to answer the question. If he did
not make the declaration, he is hound to
! say so, that the base attempt to impose
on the public may be exposed, and the
public ear be disabused. If he did make
it, he is eqafly bound to acknowledge it,
and to name his friends, to whom the pro
position was made, ar 1 those of Mr. Clay
who made it—that the latter may receive
the public execration and everlasting con
tempt. Is General Jackson the man to
dotfbt the force of this obligation—or feel
ing it, is he the man to violate it ?
Mr. Clay, too, is no less bound to no
tice ibis matter. The charge against him
has at last a tangible shape. It is traced
to a responsible name. lie will abuse
the public confidence and deserve ihe
condemnation of the community, if he
treat it with indifference now. What
ever personal or political difference may
exist between him an t the General, he is
hound by imperative duty to demand of
him the distinct avowal or disavowal of
the declaration imputed—and, in the
event of an avowal, the designation of the
individual friends on both sides to and
from whom the corrupt proposition is said
to have proceeded.
Party feelings out of the question—Pat
riotism demands in tones of thunder, that
the delinquent friends of Mr. Clay, if any,
should be unmasked to their country.—
An imputation is placed on the purity of
our elections. General Jackson is said
to have {flaced it—Did he, or did he not ?
If he did so, let him justify his declaration
by the proof. This is the true issue, let
it uot be evaded by special pleading, or by
silence. A CITIZEN.
From the United States Gnzette.
Jii takijjo 3 view of our country, attd
comparing it with any other, on the face
of the globe, have we not abundant cause
to bow our heads with gratitude, and be
thankful for the many blessings shovy-ered
down upon us, by the great power that su
perintends our destinies?
Fifty years have scarcely elapsed, since
the declaration of our Independence,
since we broke the fetters of slavery, that
fastened us to the throne of Britain!
Wi.hout entering into an examination of
our political history, which is full df inta;-
esting events; without distinguishing tne
rapid strides we have made in commerce,
agriculture, manufactures, aud the arts ;
in ship building, steam navigation, and the
navy; in the construction ot canals, rail
ways, and turnpike roads; in the devel-
opeinent of minerals from the bowels ol
the earth; in the advancement of learn
ing, and the accumulation of wealth—let
us briefly make a few observations, by way
of comparison, with what we xvere, when
we first proclaimed our independence,
and what we are now, in the fruition ot it.
The city of Philadelphia, at the period
of the declaration ot Independence, on
the 4:li of July 1776, contained about
25,000 souls. It has now a population of
more than 150,000.
The ciiy of New-York contained in
1776, about 28,000, it has now 170,000
inhabitants.
The city of Baltimore in 1776, had
about 8,00*0, it is now supposed to con
tain 70,000 inhabitants.
The state of Pennsylvania, at the pe
rn/d first named,(contained about 300,000.
It now lias a population of about 1,800,-
000. .
The state of New York in 17(6, con
tained about 250,000, its present popula
tion is estimated at 1,800,000.
The state of Kentucky was admitted
into the union in 1792, when its popula
tion was about 80,000, it has now 600,000
inhabitants.
The state of Ohio was admitted in 1802
the world.
These advinlages, and the character of
this nation, are not correctly understood
and known, in the European quarter of
the globe. Jealousy on the one hand,
and prejudice on the%ther, have, with ig
norance and national pride intermixed,
given to spurious writers, who have visit
ed this country, for the purpose of tradu
cing it, the shafts of Calumny, raked up,
and selected from the very dregs of socie
ty, and even then, coloured beyond the
plausibility of truth, without permitting
themselves to pourtrav our character, as
it really is—“ nothing* extenuate, nor set
down aught in malice.” The delusion
however, is passing away, and foreign na
tions are beginning to know us!—All I
complain of is, that the mass of the inhab
itants of Europe, have had their minds
poisoned by ephemeral travellers and wri
ters from the mother country—from the
old stocky where we ought to be better
known, than by any other nation.
Where is any distress to be seen in this
country ?—The farmer, the mechanic,
and the labourer, find employment every
day, and not only a comfortable subsis
tence, but a house well furnished, or a
barn well stocked, with a capital sufficient
to enable them to educate their children
in the school of industry and virtue, af
fording them at the same time a pillow
whereon to rest .the furrowed cheek ol
declining years.
Is there any man who complains and
says he is in want of brea !?—are there
any taxes to oppress him ? The first ques
tion, may with truth be answered—there is
not—except in some instances of inability
to work, or of positive indolence, both of
which are relieved by public institutions
of charity, and by private benevolence,
as soon as they are discovered.—The
second question may be solved with equal
ease—we have no direct taxes to contend
with, and those of other descriptions, are
very light indeed—(say only a half a cent
per annum, on the value of real estate)
and a trifling personal tax, on each indi
vidual, who is entitled to the rights of
suffrage. In addition to this, the public
debt of the United States does not at this
time, amount to half of the annual dis
bursements of the British nation.

contempt onto.* lined by them. But when

the letter of the Virginia gentleman, op a
visit to General Jackson, the distinct

of our National Liberty, did not exceed^
two millions and a halt. By this ratio ol

in another half, that is, in the year 1876,

portion of our present population has

Portrait of Lady Byron and her Daugh
ter.—I knew a great deal of Lady B. when
she lived-at , I forget the name of the
place flow, but it is not far from Bromley
and thought her a woman of masculine un
derstanding, and great conversational pow-
and strong natural good sense—but
not altogether the wife for Lord Byron.
She showed her admirable sense of pro-
prbty by the seclusion to which she con
signed herself, and the dignified silence
she inviolably maintained respecting what
may be termed “her case,” I believe to her
most intimate associates. Lady Byron
never breathed her husband’s name ; nev
er alhided, in the most casual manner, to
her own peculiar situation. On the con
trary, she appeared studiously to avoid all
reference to the subject. Her daughter,
Ada Byron, to whom such touching inter
est attaches, strongly resembles her gifted
father. There is, in particular, an expres
sion about the mouth—a curl, when she is
displeased, in her youthful lip—a fire and
fierte in her eyes—which those who had
ever au opportunity of watching dm poet’s
features, in a moment of irritation, would
instantly recognise.—The likeness is
singularly striking. It is hardly fair to
judge of her at snch tender years ; but I
thought I discovered germs of talent, and,
—shall 1 add—a spice of Lord Byron’s
disposition—a large leaven of selUindul-
gence and self-will.—Lady Byron was pas
sionately attached to her, and paid the
most vigilant attention to those grand es
sentials ,na woman’s happiness—temper
aud disposition. There was one thing in
particular, which struck me very forcibly.
It is a rule worthy the adoption of every
mother. I had dined alone with Sir Ralph
and herself; little Ada was with us at tea;
but at its conclusion, Lady Byron rose and
said. “ You must excuse me; I always give
an hour to my daughter every night, be
fore she goes to bed, when we talk over
the events of the day. 1 find it by far the
best hour in the 24 for affecting and cor
recting the heart!” If she was “ learned
and “ mathematical,” most assuredly it
never appeared in her conversation.—
It was that, and that only, of a highly ac
complished and very well informed wo
man.—An incident occurred —I don’t
choose to divulge it—which was perfectly
conclusive to my mind that Lady Byron
was still fondly attached to him. And from
the account of others who knew the facts,
am thoroughly satisfied that Lord and

Lady Byron might have beeu living to
gether at this very hour had his life been
spared, but for the intervention of a third
person- Lady Noel never could endure
him ; and the feeling was reciprocal* She
was perpetually haunted by the idea that
his Lordship was an unfaithful husband.—
On the other hand he never spared her,
and. unhappily, Lady Noel’s temper and
unguarded expression afforded ample scope
for tha most biting satire and caustic iro
ny. Whatever his Lordship might have
been previous to his marriage, or since the
separation, in the particular instance so
continually quoted, he was grossly misrep
resented. I have reason to believe, though
not from her own tips, that Lady Byron
now feels this.” The Living and the Dead.
