At the close of the Inst Presidential election three adverse and hostile political parties combined to put down the new Administration—or ratlrfer afew political ef era! years waged against each other, leaders, who had for se| an exterminating war a| became suddenly reconciled, and united tlieir forces for the avowed object of breaking down the administration. The discipline of party gave to these leaders an extraordinary control of their adher ents, and an organised press lent them the means of extensive influence. The ob- accase hint of holding conversation with him, with a,view to influence his opinion’ 0|rlhe contrary, to avoid the imputation of controlling the election, or of exerci sing any influence, did he not withhold ! his opinion until he was denounced for ■ holding 5 it up, and'until he was forced to to avoid the insinuations that began io as sail him? His opinions were only com municated'to a few persons of high char acter and confidence, to guard his tame. Ii^ due time it will be shown that his mind never changed or doubted, in regard to the choice that devolved on him to make. But what principle of human action , could have operated.on the mind of Mr. | Clay, to stoop from his high estate to the i commission of a revolting crime ? Pie j was at the head of the popular branch of i the Government, of commanding talents ; } the favorite of the West; with the fairest ! prospects, aod a lucrative practice at the bar—is it to he presumed that the office of Secretary of State could have tempted him to sell himself and to hazzard his fame ? He saw the delicacy of his situation, but he could not escape the meditated sacri fice : he could neither shrink from his du ty nor avoid the responsibility. In anv and evpry event the storm was to burst on him. Can any man of feeling or ambition believe that the hopes of office could be sentatiye happily, meat, ait ject of this union, and the motives of the several parties, will, in time, be fully de- at all compared to the awful condition in veloped. Founded in no spirit of patriotism which by events he was placed 1 He saw and based on no political principle, it sunk into a mere struggle for power.— The conduct of these leaders has been inai ked bv every characteristic which can define an organized opposition. A deter mination to elevate a particular man ; to oppose every public measure ; to thwart and embarrass the operations of Govern ment; and to destroy by all means, how ever violent and desperate, the public character as well as usefulness of their competitors. Mr. Adams was a manofacknowledged ability, rare accomplishments, great ex perience, and of long and faithful service. Mr. Clay was a man of distinguished ta lents, of practised skill in the administra tion of the public affairs , and the ablest advocate of his country’s best interests.— The principles of both were approved by a great majority of the nation. Upon these points they were invulnerable ; the assault was not, therefore, to be made up on tlieir principles or] their qualifi cations, but upon tlieir virtue. A charge was therefore fabricated of a cor rupt understanding, between Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, and the struggle for power now stands upon the truth or falsehood of this accusation. It is of most serious char-, acter—it should be candidly viewed, and deliberately examined. Whether Mr. Clay’s choice was right or wrong, or whether he voted in conform ity with the will of his constituents, are points upon which men may differ. But that does not touch the purity of his char acter. Tiiere is certainly no guilt impu ted by the preference of Mr. Adams: a man of great. learning and high character. He was also preferred by General Jack- son and Mr. Crawford. It will be demr onstroted that lie came before the House on equal terms with his competor, and it is also known that the Crawford States .would have voted for Mr, Adams. That his vote was in conformity wqh the will of his constituents, is known from "private letters lie received,}-,.written struptions from apportion of liis frieu „ , resolutions o/publie meetings phis recep tion ou his rtftuiTt; '■ ,thg. election of Mr. •Clark in the same^isirict/to fill the place of Mr. Clay; his lat&reception among his old constituents; and the more recent re- election of Mr. Clark to Congress by a majority of80d, and with a majority in everv county in the District. If we look to the w/ioie State, there is a decided ma jority in both branches of the Legislature in favor of the Administration ; and if we look to public opinion, it is extremely di vided, and very much influenced by local politics. The charge of corruption impli cates Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay equally. Mr. Adams is as stern and uncompromis ing a man as General Jackson, and as in capable of intrigue or corruption. Whom has he addressed, or flatrereil, or approach ed ? What friend has lie made, or what enemv has he conciliated ? What evidence has he ever given of relaxed principles, or loose morals, or of reaching ambition 1— But a combination with Mr. Clay was un necessary. The election of Mr. Adams was inevitable, if Mr. Clav had not been there. Indeed, a combination of Mr. Clay and General Jackson could not have elect ed the latter, unless the mostextraordinarv influence is attributed to him. Mr. Ad ams had the five New England States and New York ; it was known he would re ceive the ultimate vote of Delaware, Vir ginia, and Georgia. Clav exercised no influence over the vote of Maryland.— The vote of Ohio was never dou^lid, an.d the vote of both has been fully ratified by the People since. The Representatives of Illinois had been lopg known lo the public as the friqnds of Mr. Adams. Mr. Gurley was elected in Louisiana, as the avowed fiiend of Mr. Adams, and Mr. Brent was known to be openly opposed to the election of General Jackson ; and both have since been re-elected. Mr. Ad ams could not have been ignorant of this state of things. It is useless to speculate on the probable votes of Kentucky, North Caroliua, Indiana, Missouri, &c. In North Carolina, the vote of General Jacksofe was theunited vote of his friepds and Mr. Adams’s. But the Representatives in v Congress were loudly opposed to the Gen eral. Mr. Scott, of Missouri, as well as Col, Benton and Mr. Barton, were uni formly opposed to the General ; and Mr. Scctt could no moire have been counted " cn for the General than Col. Benton, and his vote for him would have excited as much astonishment as the subsequent ad hesion of Col. Benton. But who did Mr. Clay influence 1 Four of his friends from Kentucky voted for Gen. Jacksiyi—did he try to influence them ? Did lie solicit any man who afterwards voted for Gen eral JacksoD? Has anv man been able to a numerous party, with a powerful press and great talent, arraying theii forces to break him down ; he wa$ not ignorant of the flood of abuse and calumny that would he poured upon him. Who would incur the denunciations of a powerful party, for the little promotion he . obtained 1 What motive could induce any man to encoun ter such a conflict ? If there were induce ments of office and allurements of ambi tion, there were reproaches, criminations and menaces, not merely suspended over his head ; but influences were emoloyed to deter him from the faithful discharge of his duty, such as few men could have re sisted, or have dared to encounter. What to a man in his elevated station was the Department of State, to the rage of party violence and the fury of disappointed am- j bition, which he was to encounter ? But, again : What evidence does his appointment afford of a .corrupt bargain ? He was a most eminent citizen, to whom every eye was turned ; among the oldest in the public councils, and from the West.— The public had anticipated the selection. But the charge lias been made, and it becomes necessary to meet it, and abide the issue before the country. This new Combination, in the language of a new and elegant historian, “discover ed the command which they had acquired over the public mind, and united as they were, they augmented and secured that impression,by never permitingthe [charge] they wished to propagate to die away on the public ear. For this purpose, they took care their [charge] should be echoed, like thunder among hills, from a hundred different points, presented in a hundred new lights, illustrated by a hundred new methods, until the public could no longer help receiving that as undeniable, which they heard from so manv different quarter.” This charge will now be met. The first in the order of time end dignity charg& e of the General himself. HAMPDE CE -—Q®’©— AT ION OF THE FOURTH OF J ! AT PARIS. The Americans in Paris celebrated the anniversary of Independence, in-the usual style, this year. The number of those who joined in the celebration, was'unu sually great. Eighty persons sat down to dinner, which was served tip at the Cadran Bleu, Boulevarde du Temple m a manner most creditable to the taste and attention of the proprietor of the estab lishment. His Excellency, James Brown, Minister of the U. States, at the Court of France, General Lafayette, his Sdn, and Secretary, in compliance with the invita- tation of the Committee, on behalf ofjhe Americans at Paris, honored by presence, the festivities of the dav Cox Barnet, Esq. the American at Paris, presided, and Mr. Cooper, sul at Lyons, officiated as Vice Presj The Rev. Dr. Jarvis, of Boston, wa sent, and offered up a fervent and appro priate prayer before the company‘took their seats at the table. After the regular toasts had been drank, the President, upon behalf of the Com mittee, proposed the foHowing,.which was received with the most lively applause : Lafayette—the friend, pupil, and/goad- j jutor of Washington—we know no litgher i eulogy. General Lafayette then rose, while the roost perfect silence prevailed a course,” said be, “of more »han half a century, and a series of successive Ameri can generations, every opportunity has afforeded me new favors from them to ac knowledge, new patriotic sympathies to exchange. Now, gentlemen, whils» I of- for my respectful thanksfor your so very gratifying toast, in behalf of one of your veterans, our matchless Washington’s a- dopted son, we have in common to member how last year on the fiftieth niversarj^ of American Independen when we were all in our convivial meet ing commemorating the three surviving signers of that immortal Declaration, two of them, the one its illustrious author, the other its strenuous supporter, bad gone on that same day, as it were hand in hand, to join our departed Revolutionary com panions; and may I he indulged to ob serve, it has been to me a peculiar bless ing to have been allowed, after forty years absence, once more to embrace those two friends, with whom, in public labors, on both sides of the Atlantic, and by tli^ tiesof personal affection, I bad been so long, and so intimately connected; to have had time to delight in mutual con gratulations, on that immense, unexam pled national prosperity, private welfare, domestic felicity, the evident result of a. veteran’s struggle for Independence and freedom, nnS those popular, truly repre- tions, for which has been the name ef self-govern- .... .itch may be considered as the charterof'good sense and legitimacy of mankind., I therefore, beg leave to pro pose the following toast: ,, Self-Government—May the. American J Neologism become a universal language. The President then read the fallowing: s Our distinguished guest, Jpmtts Brown -For bis talents, admiration—for bis pub lic seryices, honor—for his hospitality to his couutrymen the tribute of our heart felt acknowledgements. Mr. Brown observed that the unex pected-manner in which he had been no ticed,* 'produced a degree of embarrass ment which would have prevented him from rising, had he not feared that his silence might have been considered as a proof of ingratitude, or insensibility. “ I know,” said Mr. B. “ it has been remark ed that * out of the fullness of .the heart the tongue speaketh :•’ And yet, strange as it may appear, I have no hope of find ing, at this time, adequate language to express to this company all the gratitude I feel for the very kind, affectionate, and flattering terms in which my name has been mentioned. If the kindliest feel ings and best dispositions in relation, to such of my fellow-citizens as visit Europe, can constitute a claim to theii good will, then, indeed, I feel that I am iu some degree entitled to it: for whatever may have been your object in visiting France, whether-to gratify a liberal curiosity, or to increase your stock of literary, scienti fic, and professional knowledge, it has been ray constant desire to aid you in its attainment. The approbation of my con duct, which you have been so kind as to express, derives much value front the character of the assemblage from which it is received. In the midst of intelligent and well informed young gentlemen, col lected from every State in the Union, we have the satisfaction to see one of the dis tinguished actors iii our Revolution, whose name associated with that ofour be loved Washington, will descend with im perishable renown to the latest posterity. Our festive board is also graced by the | presence of one of our citizens, who hav ing little more than attained the age of maturity, has already, by the facility of his invention, and the felicitous manner in which he has interwoven fact with fic tion—amused, instructed, and delighted both hemispheres. That my humble la bors should have received the approba tion of an assemblage so distinguished, and on an occasion so memorable, will al ways be recollected by me, as amongst the happiest incidents of my life. “ As you have been so kind as to allude" to my official services, permit me to re mark, that much of what might have been embarrassing to me, in my present situa tion, has been rendered easy by the con duct of my fellow-citizens. It is some times the painful duty of a Minister to interfere with the Government at which he is accredited, for the protection of bis countrymen, either from the oppressive acts of authority, or from the consequences of their own inexperience and indiscre tion. So correct has been the conduct of the American citizens residing in France; such their habitual respect for the laws and the constituted authorities, that, in more than three years, during which time have had the honor to represent my uutry at this court, I have in no instance hind my interposition necessary for their rotection. Recollecting that your own country is the proper field for your politi cal activity, you have abstained from in termeddling in the affairs of this Govern ment, and you have remained satisfied with the proiection extended to you and lire permission to drink freely, and I might add almost gratuitously, at the abun dant fountains of knowledge which are to be found in this interesting metropolis.— You will return to your country with an undimipished affection for it and tor its wise institutions, and you will be followed wherever you go with my best wishes.” Mr. Brown then gave— The memory of John Adams and Tho mas Jejpjgrson. Mr. Barnett communicated to the com pany a letter lie had just received from Viscount de Leaumom, formerly an offi cer in the regiment of the Cape, and wounded at.the siege qf Savannah, and now a member of the Sdciety of Cincin nati. Mr..Barnett then proposed in the name of the company, Americau Literature—We are proud to number amongst us one of the geniuses wbo, at the present day, ate its principal ornaments. The historian of our old friend, “ Hawk Eye,” whose eccentrici- iue me jj^ ve so much amused, and whose re- m ?4-eent death has lately grieved us all. Mr. Cooper replied in a short but very handsome address, wherein he expressed his thanks for the very complimentary manner in which his talents had been al luded to; and offered as a Toast, “ The happy return of all present to their homes at some future day.” By Mr. Barnett: The motto of roy honorable friend, James Monroe, ex-Pre- sident of theUnitedStates—“Principles nor men." the From the Maryland Advocate. GENERAL JACKSON’S LET TER to Mr. Wra. Owens, of Kentucky will be found in another pan of this day’s paper, under the P olitical head—it should have been published without one word of comment by us, had R not contained in its Postscript, a charge against the char acter and well earned reputation of that distinguished Patriot and Herd Gen.Green whose memory is dear to the heart of ev ery American. We make the subjoined extract, not for .the purpose of injuring General Jhckson or giving offence to any of his supporters, but with the view of rescuing from disgrace the name of one of our most distinguished and ^meritorious Revolutionary Patriots, whose life was The subjoined extract is copied from Gen, Green’s orderly Book, which has been preserved by Col. William Lamar, of Alleghany county ; who was attached to the Southern army, frqni the time Gen. Greene, took command of it, until the •19th of Oct. 1781, when he, with some other officers, were ordered to join some other corps ; and was during the whole of that time under the immediate com mand of Gen. Greene. The annexed copy of the Proceedings of the Court Martial held on the 30th day of April, 1781, at “ Rudgley's Mill,” proves roost conclusively, that those meu were not “ liung on one pole for desertion, without court martial" as the General states, but for “ DESERTION, JOINING THE ENEMY, AND BEARING ARMS AGAINST THE U. STATES.”— Col. Lamar, (then Captain,) states, that “ they were actually found in the enemy's ranks, with arms in their hands, and clothed in the British uniform, and that they were taken prisoners, with about 200 British soldiers* after the battle of I fob- kirk's Hill, by Col. William Washing- ion, and that they were all hung with their Red Coats on." The charges made against Gen. Wash ington, “ have been proved to be entirely false, he never having issued any such or der. Col. Wm. D. Beall, of Prince George’s county, in this state, who was an eye witness to the whole transaction, knows and has pronounefed it to be false.” Copy of the proceeding's of the Court Mart ml, held at Rudgly’s Mill, on lhe30th day of April, 1781: “ Camp nt 'Rudgley's Mill., ? Monday, 30th April, 1781. $ “At a General Court Martial, whereof Lieut. Col. Howes, is President, Thomas Wood, of the 5th Carolina Regiment, William Hennesty, of the 1st Virginia Regiment, William Sugars of the-3d Ma ryland Regiment, Samuel Sherrin John son, of the 7th Maryland Regiment, and Bartholomew Kelly, of the Deleware Re giment, were severally charged with De sertion, joining the Enemy and bearing arms against the United. States. The Coart after duly considering the charger evidence and defence, for and against the prisoners, respectively, are f opinion that each and every one of them are guilty, and do sentence, that the said Thomas Wood, William Hennesty, William Sugars, Sam uel Sherrin Johnson, and Bartholomew Kelly, be each hanged by the neck, (more than two thirds of ihe Court agreed there to.) The General [General Green] ap proves the proceedings of the Court. He would be extremely happy if the offences of those unfortunate men deserved a pun ishment less severe. But desertion is crime, so dangerous to an army, that poli cy has dictated the mode of correction “ The indispensible necessity of giving some serious examples, and the recent misfortunes the Troops have suffered by perfidy of some of their unworthy com panions, forbid the oxercise of lenity, and aud compells the General to admit the force of maratial law. “ The criminals are to be executed ac cording to the sentences annexed against them, at fouf o’clock to-morrow after noon.” -*sttocs>- KENTUCKY ELECTIONS. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 31. The Frankfort, Lexington, & George town papers, received by yesterday’s mail, still leave it doubtful whether Mr. Trim ble or his Jackson opponent Mr. Daniel, has triumphed in the first Congressional District; but from the general .tone of those papers, we incline to the belief that Mr. Daniel.has succeeded by a small ma jority. Returns from all the Districts are pretty well ktfown, and—-assuming that Mr. Trimble has been defeated—afford the following result of the Congressional Elections. 1st District—Henry Daniel. 2d District—Thomas Metcalf. 3d District—James Clark. 4th District—Robert P. Letcher. 5th District—Robert M’Hatton. 6th District—Joseph Lecompte. 7th District—Thomas P. Moore. 8th District—Richard A. Buckner. 9th District—Charts A. Wickliffe. 10th District—Joel Yancey. 11th District—W. S. Young. 12th District—Chittenden Lyon. The five names in Italics are supporters of the Administration, the other seven are friendly to General Jackson. In the 12tb Mr. Lyon has succeeded in consequence of Mr. Henry and Mr. New, both warm friends of the Administration, standing a poll, the aggregate votes given to the two being not far short of double the number given to the successful candidatei The administration majority in this district alone, was greater by several hundred than the combined Jackson majorities in the 1st, the 5th and the 10th, which were lately represented by Trimble, M’Hatton and Johnson. Thus it appears that four o"f the seven Jackson men elected, were returned from four Districts in which the Administration have a decided majority oIArm friends. In the other three Jack- Districts, Mr. Moore, Mr. Wickliffe nd Mr. Lecompte are the representa tives. The first had no opposition ; the second received a majority over his Ad ministration opponent of 1800, • while the representatives to the State Legislature in the same district, are equally divided ; and the third was elected by a majority of 363. Although Mr. Moore had no op position, it is conceded by the Jacksoii- ites, that there are three friends of the Administratipn in that District for every friend of Jackson, either in the District represented by Mr. Letcher, or in that re presented by Mr. Young; neither of which attempted to support a Jackson Candidate, in the same District seven out of nine State Representatives, are Administration men. From this view, of the actual result of the struggle, it is Undeniable that the Ad ministration partyfjMgf’ of the State and byGi give in 1828, a unanimous oresent Chief Magistrate “ General Ticket,” * owerful majority ral Ticket will vote for the We say by because the present of voting for Presidential Electors is by Three Districts, but the Adminis tration having a large majority in both branches of the Legislature, its friends will not suffer the vote of Kentucky f o be divi ded while Virginia, North and South Ca rolina, Georgia, Alabama and indeed all the decided Jackson States, vote by General Ticket. It is well known that had the Hero’s partizans succeeded in e- lecting a Legislature to suit their purpose it was°their determination to change the | mode of Election, provided they could be | certain that such a change would operate ! to their advantage, iliey have failed in their I attempt to elect a Jackson Legislature, and bV that failure have demonstrated that they are in the minority." They dare not com plain, therefore, if the/fiends of the Ad ministration adopt a measure which their energies werepto ropose. Without a change of the Electorial Law, the Administration will unquestionably obtain two Districtsof the State, giving together ten votes ; and the probability is great that the other Dis trict, giving four votes will be on the same side; but a General Ticket would put the matter out of doubt; and we repeat, that the Hero’s party cannot conscientiously oppose a measure of their own proposing. The relative strength of the parties in the State Legislature, as near as can be ascertained, is as follows: IN THE SENATE. For the Administration 22 For Jackson IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. For the Administration 58 For Jackson 42 And making this estimate, it should be remarked that those set down for the ad ministration are avowedly so, while many placed among the friends of Jackson call ed themselves neutrals daring the canvass and, being popular men, obtained the votes of both parties. Of i his description there are about twelve. Adding half of that number to the known friends of the Administration, and deducting the same half from the friends of General Jackson, it will be seen that the Legislature is com posed of eighty-six administration men aud fifty-two advocates of Military Des potism.—In another column we have co pied an article from the Kentucky Com mentator of the 18th inst. which contains tha latest information then received at- Frankfort. The treaty concerning the mediation in favor of the Greeks, is authentic, as ir is published both in the French and En glish papers—aud as the Censure is now in full force, as to the foimer, it would have inhibited the publication of such a document, if not genuine. The London Courier of 12th July treats of it, more over, as an unquestionable instrument.— Viewing it as such, we cannot but think Christian and civilized Europe is wanting to herself, wanting to the high duties which, speaking as she does, in the names of .humanity, religious knowledge, and liberty, that station impose upon her, in proposing for the Greeks such, abject terms of pacification with the Porte—tri bute,.nominal sovereignty, and real depen dence, a vote by the Turks uoon the choice by the Greeks of their own rulers, all this is positive insult, and wrong— done, too, to Greeks—struggling for free dom and faith—in favour of brutal and and degraded infidels—N. Y. American. pmai the Dip t>ch Courier. Extract of aletter to a gentleman in this city,da. ted, Puerto Cabello, July 24, 1827. “ Gen. Paez has given orders to mount all the cannon dismounted within a month: this seems a little extraordinary, but it is a very difficult matter for the people rightly to comprehend all the doings of military men. I informed you some time ago of the marked attention of the officers iu the service of England to the Liberator. A British frigate has recently brought this distinguished Chieftain to this place, and the people seemed greatly pleased with the civility. The United States have formerly stood high in the estimation of the thinking part of the community, and I attributed the circumstance to the zeal with which our Mr. Clay advocated then? cause in the United States House of Re presentatives, when they so much requir ed the countenance of a friend. The feather edge, however, of this service to our own country, has been taken off by the vituperations of those men in Congress who may be ranked among the mere party politicians-—and who cannot claim anv rank in the government as statesmen.-!. The situation of affairs here, generally speaking, continues much as might have been expected iu a country where liberty marches in advance of science, andwhere too, thebestinformed men have advocated the doctrine, ihat ignorance is the mother of devotion. Gloomy indeed must be the situation of a people where the influence of such doctrines prevail, and where it is to be feared some of the clergy are open infidels, boasting to aach other—“Quan- tas divitas nobis pefent hae.c Christi fa- bulaf Time, however, will, I hope,give a new aspect to things here. The diffi culty in rooting out old prejudices, and to old absurdities, is much easier talked The following letter, purporting to have been written by General Jackson, and proved by a sworn affidavit, to have betin sent by him to Col. Owens, a few days before the commencement of the election, has been printed,trod extensively circulat ed as part of a hand bill, and has been copied into several of the Opposition pa pers. Upon the general abuse and coarseness of its terms ; upou the-excessive impro priety of charging a gentleman of Mr. Buckner’s standing with a “ falsehood,” probably without knowing'from an authen tic source, what his “ allegations” had been, we forbear for the present to re mark. Such things were, perhaps, to be expected from the correspondent of Pry or, Swartwout, Beverly and Owens. But the gross outrage upon the people Kentucky, and especially those of the eighth congressional district, by this di rect, personal interference of a citizen of another State—of a man of Jackson’s standing and supposed influence ; this di rect, this abusive and insulting interfer ence, by a candidate for the Presidency, in an election for a member of Congress, upon whose vote his own election to the Presidency .mightier possibility, depend, will be duly appreciated by the good peo ple of this State. If there had been no thing else to prevent the election of Col Owens, this shameless interference by Jackson in bis behalf ought to have done it. [The letter has beenpublished in a for mer number of the Courier.] about than accomplished. I received the files of New-York papers, and am not a little surprised to find the old field mar shal of editors out in favor of Jackson for the Presidency. This must arise either from his ancient hatred of the father of the present incumbent, or liis overween ing love for Hamilton. I cannot suppose it posssible that any man can.soberly at tempt to write down a statesman qualified in all respects for the station he holds, and at the same time endeavor to write up a man who is.supported bvthe fragments of all parties.
