- 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.

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. — ty influences, will think it may be is important, therefore, to the quiet of the community, and to the good of the conn-. ------ . . nnnnlation of rv that tite persons and arts involved in ; (only 2a years ago) w.th a poptttation o tiis charge* should b e tolly exposed and tit) or 70,000, ,t now coma,ns bOO.OOO understood. While the charge was couch ed in general terms, and consisted of mere assertions,without attempting to fix the souls. Nine other new states have been added to the thirteen revolutionary ones; giving otfium hV proof) I coald regain STud* j » » « grand total of nventy-fitur^ srenco of the public inott, thus i,optica-j erate states, with a population of twelve ted, as justifiable on acknowledged princi ples of law and personal dignity. It was the natural result of a just indignariou and contempt onto.* lined by them. But when it assumes, as it lately has, bv means ot the letter of the Virginia gentleman, op a visit to General Jackson, the distinct shape cf an allegation by the general him self, against the friends of Sir. Clay, in millions of souls, which on the birth day of our National Liberty, did not exceed^ two millions and a halt. By this ratio ol increase, in half a century, the population in another half, that is, in the year 1876, will be 57,600,000, but as a considerable portion of our present population has been produced by migrations from foreign countr.es, which is not very probable will 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 bow-street.

M’Carthy—Devil a row, your Onor. It all happened in a soeiable sort of a way. Sir Richard—Over a glass of whiskey, presume. M’Carthy—Faitii it didn’t your Onor. It was over a kitchen table. Sir Richard—Well, tell us all about it. M’Carthy—It’s myself that will, your Onor. You see, your Onor, I just step ped into Mick’s place to have a gossip with the vanithee. Sir Richard—The vanithee ! And pray who is that ? M’Carthy—The bit of a wife he has, your Onor. Sir Richard—What, has he only a bit of a wife ? M’Carthy—Och, she’s whole what’s of her, your Onor; hut she an’t over big. Sir Richard—Well, go on. M’Carthy—And so, vour Onor, while I was talking to hpr, saying nothing-at all, in comes Mick, * Musha than, how are you Mick,’ says T, ‘ By J s, I’ll tell you, my jewel,’says he, and with that he ups with the hod he had in thefhand of him, and hits me a lick, your Worship sees, on the head.’ ‘ Murther !’ says I, and down I dropped as dead as the father that bore me. So says I to myself, I’ll not stand that any how, and I gathered myself up, and come to your Onor’s Worship for a warrant to have the law o’ him. Sir Richard—And didn’t you return the compliment ? M’Carthy—the devil a return, your Onor. Sis Richard—That was rather singular: but I presume you had nothing in your hand, or you would have been even with him.
