Let us return-to Major Eaton.
The veil is rent, and the secrets are
disclosed.. The object now is to supply
n number what they wanted in strength-;
fa make out the chargebv shreds and pat
ches ; to eke out the evidence, and divert
the uttemipn from the true object.
We may rejoice that noj only the ac
cuser, hut ail tho w itnesses,appear. The
charge can no longer rest on malignant in
sinuation, or daring assertion. The evi-
dc?>c6 must be brought to the bar of public
reason.
Ail tha( is now known bv either Gen.
Jackson, Major Eaton, Mr. Buchanan,
Mr. Isacks, Mr. McDuffie, and General
Green, is now before the public, and it is
presumed that they are in possession of all
the information which can be collected.-—
It is of the highest importance to the cause
in which they are all embarked, to esta
blish the fact. Letters have been wri-
Ten, information solicited, every means
employed to obtain it. It is honorable
human nature, it is creditable to the
country, that, iri the extraordinary excite
ment of the public mind, in the violence
•f party rage, with the high hopes of Ge
neral Jackson, which mav bring in a
crowd of expectants, and with all the
f emptation which it presents to the pro
digate, the malignant, and the ambitious,
not a man has been found base enough to
hear testimony ; and for the honor of all
the parties, I trust no man will hereafter
appear ; his character could not save him
from suspicion.
Let us recur to the charge. Generally
Jackson declared to Beverlv, that propo
sitions had been made, by the friends of
Mr. Clay, to his friends. It is made in
precise words, and he cannot escape from
it, The charge is utterly unfounded, and
is clearlv proven to be so bv all tire par
ties, even bv the General himself.
Gen. Jackson had stated the fact fihat
propositions had been made to him) on
several occasions,and to many individuals;
Beverly’s statement, besides not being de
nied, is fully supported.
But when called on publicly to give his
-evidence, he says it was all inferences tfnd
conclusions which he drew. He savs,'*stijl
X have not said, nor do I nmv sav, the
proposal made to me was with the. privity
end consent of Mr. Clay, neither have
I said that his friends in Congress made
propositions to me.”
lie stated to Beverlv, that “ proposi
tions had been made by the friends of Mr.
Clay.” He "says afterwards, “ that he
had never said that Mr. Clay’3 friends had
made propositions to him.”
But Major Eaton is equally explicit.—
lie says, “ General Jackson states his
ewa opinion, at the time, was that Mr.
Buchanan had come from Mr. Clay, or
S^n me of his friends ; but this fs given as
matter of impression—nothing more ? He
say- it is not asserted that Mr. Buchanan
tame from Mr. Clay. Did he tell Be-
ferlv ‘hat this was merely air impression
on Ii mind—nothing more? He left no
doubi tin the minds of his hearers, that a
direct r imposition had been made, urn!
that he indignantly rejected it. If Gene
ral Jackson “ has not said that Mr. Clav’s
friends made propositions to him,’\vliat be
comes of Beverly’s statement ? I leave
the question there-
Maj or Eaton says the two statements
^ofGen. Jtcksoivand Mr. Buchanan are
Substantially in accord. It is, therefore,
fair to give credit to the lattor. What
does lie say ? That “ he did not come
from Mr. Clay?” that he made no propo
sition of anv kind from any one, either
Mr. Clay or his friends, or any one else;
that he was not authorized to make, an I
did not intend to make anv. How, then,
is the charge made to Beverlv, several
mouths published, and uever denied, sup
ported? This charge expressly inruloates
Mr. Clay’s friends. First, then, it is now
denied that Gen. Jackson lead said that
ilfr. Clay's friends iu Congress had made
propositions to him. Major Eaton says
is not asset ied that they came front Mr.
Clay. 2d. it is denied by Mr. Buchanan
that anv deliberate proposition was made
by him to Gen. Jackson : he says that he
was not amlyiised by Mr. Clay or any of
his friends, “ o anyone else," and that he
»as incapable of it Major Eaton’s know
ledge goes H i father than Mr. Buchanan’s
because deiived front him. *
Mr. Isacks had the same conversation
w ith Mr. M Uey, and knows nothing be
yond Mr. B cb.mm.
General G t en derives his information
from the General and Major Eaton* and
therefore can go no farther than theii
evidence, which was solely derived from
Buchanan, and who had,'in October last,
informed General Green that he could
not support the charge.
Mr. M'Duffie expressly exonerated the
friends of Mr. Clay, on the flour of C.in
gress, but bronchi the charge of corrup
tion direct upon Mr. Clay ; but, lie said,
it could not be proven ; it was incapable
of pr<'of. lie h-.s since attempted to m-tke
out a cons'ruciivt- undeistanding, existing
in the mind of the parties—ail idea of iu-
tcrest, a hope, an expectancy of office,

Thus all the evidence has failed. They
have exhausted themselves in efforts to
produce testimony. They have violated
confidence, and attempted to sacrifice, a
friend, to reach Mr. Clay. They have
resorted to conversations of the most fami- i
liar kind, among the friends d^Gen. Jack- j
son. They have opened an inquisition j
into the conduct of Mr. Clayi—into his I
most secret thoughts, and into all the hid
den motives of his actions. They have
employed inferences and inuendoes, aud
the imagination has been taxed for pre
sumptions. When all these fail, tlipy la
bor to excite distrust and to cover the ob
ject of their malevolence under a cloud of
suspicion. One does not assert the charge
against him, but against his friends ; the
oilier acquits his friends, but accuses him.
One attempts to prove the fact, whilst tho
other denies that it is susceptible of proof.
At first, all agreed that Mr. Buchanan did
not support Gen. JacksQti. Inafetvdays
they recovered and rallied, and the same
men declared it fully sustained him. One
writer (the Ploughman in the Richmond
Enquirer) acknowledges that it does not’
support the statement, and declares that
Mr- Buchanan is not to be believed : while
Maj. Eaton thinks they “substantially ac
cord;” “ that there is no material differ
ence.”
But why do I abuse the public patience
in reasoning this case ? There is positive
evidence, which will in due time be exhi
bited, of unequivocal denial, that anv over
ture was made to General Jackson. At
tention is called to several articles address
ed to Mr. Clay, by the friends of General
Jackson, under different signatures, end
published in the Washington Gazet f e,and
I openly appeal to their known candor
and honor for the authorship and the au
thenticity ot the publications. On the
Slst January, after the period.of the con
versation ; alter the meeting to which
allusion is made; after the publication of
the Kremor card ; after the period when
Gen. Jackson alleges that a proposition
had been made to him by the friends of
Mr. Clay it is said, “I understand it is
the exciting cause of your anger, that it is
alleged, that you made, or caused to be
mate, some overtures of a political nature
to Gen. Jackson ; this I do not believe :
abounds, were sung; aud ffom the toasts
drunk on the occasion, we make the fol
lowing selection :
The People of the United States.— \ good purpose.—Tuscalooca Chronical.

black orJunk bottle about half filled with
Spirits of Turpentine, made quite warm,
and after scarifiing the wouud made by
the Snake, applied the mfitith of the bot
tle to it, and commenced pouring cold wa
ter on the bottle until the conteuts. were
perfectly cooleJ. In About half ail hour
and before the bottle was removed from
the wound, the boy became perfectly easy
and fell into a sound sleep. Next day he
was able to walk about, and tbo day fal
lowing was at work as usual. We would
recommend this simple and easy appli
cation, as it is in the power of almost ev
ery one to procure it sooner than almost
any other, and its immediate efficacy is
great consideration. Any spirituous li
quors would have the same effect; and
even if that could not be immediately pro
cured, warm water would answer a very
Canty of the Government; their bappi
ness the best commentary on the laws and
institutions.
[There never was a more desperate or
more determined conspiracy to undermine
this security than at the present moment.
But we deem that the roots of virtue and
intelligence have stricken so deeply into
our social system, that they cannot be torn
up without, at the same time putting an
end to our existence as a fee and happy
people.]
The Mechanic Arts—The pioneers
that clear the way, the levers that raise
the columns ihil support, and the united
forces that preserve a nation’s wealth and
greatness.
The President of the United States—
Let his works speak for him.
[They have spoken to the satisfaction
of the people, who have just responded
from Maryland and Delaware—“ Well
done, good and faithful servant!”]
Education—The parent of all free in
stitutions. Tho only sole protector of
the liberties of the people.
[It was for want of this protection that
the ancient tepublics came to a prema
ture termination. It is because they are
as yet ini perfectly enlightened? that the
peopl • of other countries have not been
able to follow the example which we
have set. It is on the intelligence which
is the result of education that vve found
our moral and political strength, and build
our hopes of endurance to remote gene
rations.]
Agriculture, Commerce and Manufac
tures—What liberal patriotism hath join
ed togeiher, let not partial or mistaken
politicians put asunder.
[A desperate attempt has been mdde
to prove that these are disiict interests,
and to excite injurious jealousies between
them. They are the three main pillars
of our Republican institutions; and if you
shiver one of then, you endanger the
whole.]

According to Mi.
Mr. Clay are ho::
is gu.liv, but lb
■ says, was an impure
soit of metaphysical
1st which, *s no one
ii defend himself—
‘Duffie, the friends of
-Lie men. He alone
crime is ia i-s uature se
cret, a_*ii incurable ofprocf j and there-
place yourself in a situation to be repelled.
I shall never believe you capable of such
deliberate folly; it is very naturrl that
you should be offended by such an impu
tation on your sagacity.’’
Again; “I do not believe an overture was
made. No reasonable mind could sup
pose you to be so weak of judgment, as to
make an overture of compromise to Gen.
Jackson. I dismiss it as altogether ab
surd." This declaration is not relied oil to
contradict, what there is not a particle of
proof to establish,’ but is thrown in, from
abundant caution, to show that Mr. Bu
chanan is right, when he savs, that lie can
readily see how the General got the idea
of this proposition, after the election was
over, and Mr. Clay made Seeretary of
State ; and to show, also, the truth of Mr.
M’Lean’s averment,who was then a mem
ber of the Senate, “ that no one believed
it.”
It will become necessary, hereafter, to
refer to the papers, to shew that the most
artful, insidious, and indelicate addresses,
were every day made to Mr. Clay ; some
times to his understanding, semetimes to
his fears; every art was essayed to soothe,
to alarm, to intimidate. They who were
too pure fo prevail over his virtue, did not
hesitate to assail bis courage : and he who
dared disregard their menaces, and the
power of their party, is now denounced as
wan ing the firmness to resist the at
tempts upon his virrup.
\\ hde Mr. Clay stood aloof observing
the most guarded delicacy, with.his mind
fixed, yet unwilling to exercise the slight
est influence, he was assailed by anony
mous publications, bv secret letters, by
personal approaches. What freedom of
opinion or liberty of action did he enjoy?
And how can they talk of the purity 'of
elections, who have attempted to carry
this by the assertion of false principles and
dangerous practices? To the frieuds of
Mr. Crawford, they urged a doctrine, with
regard to pluralities, in violation of the
fundamental principle of the Constitutiou
which was to disregard the voice of their
States, and vote for the candidate having
the largest number, of votes. While the
Kentucky, delegation was to obey the. will
ot the Legislature, regardless of the voice
of the District; the Ohio delegation was to
yield themselves not to the choice of their
ow n People, or the will of a majority, but
of a plurality, and that plurality denied.
Had not the friends of Mr. Adamsa right
to complain, that the means by which they
attempted to carry the election,was grossly
improper and indecent ; that it was ealeu
lated to destroy the freedom of election,
and break dow n the barriers of tho Con
stitution ?
“Accuses ('says Montesquieu, in his
Political Romance of his name) loved so
much to preserve the laws and ancient
customs of the Bactrians, that he trembled

Gen. Putnam is known to have been
decidedly opposed to duelling, on princi
ple. It once happened that he grossly af
fronted a brother officer. The dispute
arose at a wine table, and, the officer de
manded instant reparation. Putnam be
ing a little elevated, expressed his willing
ness to accommodate the-gentleman w ith
a fight; and it was Stipulated that the du
el should take place on the following mor
ning, and that they should fight without
seconds. At the appointed time, the gen
tleman went on to the ground armed with
swords and pistols. On entering the field
Putnam, who had taken a stand at the
opposite extremity, and at a distance of
about thirtv^bds, levelled bis musket and
fired at him. The gentleman now ran to
wards his antagonist, who deliberately
proceeded to reload his gun.
“ What are you about to do ?” exclaim
ed he—“ is this the conduct of an Amer
ican officer and a man of honour?,’
“ What am I about to* do ?” repeated
the General, attending only to the first
question ; “a pretty question to put to a
man whom you intended to murder. I’m
about to kill you ; and if you don’t beat a
retreat in less time than ’tivould take old
Heath to bang a tory, by heaven you are
a gone dog at the same time returning
ramrod to its place, and throwing the
breech of his gun into the hollow of his
shoulder.

We thus repair our errors the more readi

Had Thomas Jefferson in 1812, been
called upon to lead our armies to the Can

it a very absurd and preposterous appoint
ment. Would it have been nr re so in
fact, than now to call Gen. Jackson to the
presidency of the United Sta'es? The
art of war requires undivided study, atten
tion and a peculiar order of talents:—is
tbo art of governing a great nation, alone
to be acquired without experience or stu
dy ? Iu this study and the discharge of
duties intimately connected with it, Mr.
Adams has consumed forty years of his
life under the eye and instructions of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe. We mean no reflection on General
Jackson, when we express it as our belief,
that he is profoundly ignorant of the ele
ments of political science. His life has
been directed to other pursuits, and it is
impossible that he can know these things,
which require great talents, and. the studi
ous toils of years, to acquire them—un
less, indeed, heaven has wrought a mira
cle in his favor and communicated by in
tuition, that which less favored mortals ob
tained by dint of labor and long experi
ence. Gen. J. must be still more igno
rant of the science of government, than
Mr. Jefferson was of that of war, and he
must in truth be still less prepared to ful
fil the difficult and complicated duties of
the Presidency, than Mr. Jefferson was to
lead an army. A shoe maker cannot

It is believed that this was the only sin

wondered at, as he was exceedingly fiery
and impetuous. However well establish
ed his reputation for courage might have
been, association with officers of all des
criptions during a war of eight years’ con-
tinuancdfmnst have brought him into sit
uations ia which it required a great degree
of forbearance to avoid personal combats.

SUMMARY.
At a meeting of our citizens last week,
a committee were appointed to memorial
ize our Legislature, praying the grant of
a Charter for a Savings Bank in this city.
Mr. Forsyth having resigned his seat in
Congress for the Executive Chair of
Georgia, the Governor has issaed a writ
of Election, ordering the vacancy to be
filled on the 17th November. It will be
seen below, that our Townsman, R. H.
Wilde, Esq. is a candidate.
It is constantly urged by those opposed
to Mr. Adams, that he came into office by
intrigue; but if the developements are con
sidered, which have been made since the
Carter Beverly letter, it can be said with
much stronger evidence, that he camo in
to office in spite of intrigue.
The predominant party, whether of
Jackson or Adams, is every where stigma
tized by the defeated, with some odious
appellation, aristocrats, federalists, blue
lights, while the latter arrogate to them
selves invariably the possession of the true
principles of liberty, are demo rats, repub
licans, advocates of the people, ice. Let
the intelligence of tho country look at
things as they are.
The enemies of the Administration la
bor hard to blast the respectable standing
of Mr. Sergeant, lately elected to Con
gress from Philadelphia. They say, when
he stood on his own merits, both parties
formerly gave him an overwhelming vote.
What has he done since to destrov his
fame and the public confidence ? Why,
he was Minister to Panama—that*is, be
cause he accepted an honorable mission,
and endeavored to serve his country fay
promoting one of the most important mca*
sures which any administration has pro
jected, he has become unworthy of anv
farther trust, and his name should be
branded with infamy.
Mr. McMahon, the successful, chal
lenged Mr. Tj r son, the unsuccessful can
didate, in consequence of some dispute in
regard to the election in Baltimore. The
first is the friend of Gen’l Jackson—the
latter of Mr. Adams. They had exchan
ged two shots and were preparing for the
third, when the civil authority put an end
to the intended effusion of blood.
Dr. Young, recently elected to Con
gress from Kentucky, died on the 19th
ult. Mr. Chilton and Mr. Calhoun are
candidates to fill the vacancy; the first
for General Jackson—the last for the Ad
ministration.
A Pamphlet has been published in
France, entitled “ The ar» of putting on
a Cravat in 34 different ways, with the
Author’s Portrait.” We thmk there must
be some mistake in the title. It ought to
be “ The Author’s Portrait, with the
art,” &,c. &c.
General Saunders has the advantage of
Governor Kent—he gave the lie first.
The only way the Governor had to get
ahead of him, was to have knocked him
down. We believe, that is the proper
manner of acknowledging such favors.
A new paper is to be published shortly
in Providence, entilted “ The Military
Chieftain and Champion of the People’s
Rights.” The side of the Presidential
question, which it will take, may be guess
ed.
Our composer set up Delaware Execu
tion, instead of Election. It was no great
mistake; for certainly the enemies of the
Administration have lately been sadly eze-
cuted in that State. Delaware now assur
edly has a “ heart large enough fora whole
continent.”
John H. Morgan was elected Engross
ing Clerk to the Senate of Tennessee on

Charles X ordered the formation of a
Camp for 15,000 men at St. Omers. It
took the soldiers three months hard work
to finish it; and it is to be regularly ap
proached, stormed and carried according
to all the rules of tf ar. Such aplaytki ig
must excite not a little contempt in a na
tion, whose military glory i-s as bright as
that of the French.
