No. VII.
The array thickens, the charges of the
General have been repelled, and he re
coils. The garde de corps rally around
him to defend his person, while the light
troops are ordered up to maintain his po
sition, or cover his retreat.
M j or Eaton takes the field at the head
of the reserve.
The Mijot is a snilful, experienced of
ficer: deliberate in his plans, cool in ac
tion, and devoted to the service. He un-
ders'ands tlie tactics of his profession, the
discipline of his troops, and “those stra
tagems which nature keeps ready to en
counter sudden danger.”
But he is an honorable adversary ; “ he
,. rouses up his courage, calls all his coun
sels,” and relying on his own strength,
- be disdains to lie in wait, to strike in the
dark, or the use of the poisoned arrow.
There is a propriety of manner in the
conduct of Major Eaton, which in the
delicate relation in which he stands, en
titles him to our respect. He will be met
in the spirit of candor and moderation,
and treated with the dignity which belongs
to his rank. j
Mr. Clay may rejoice that not only an
accuser has appeared, but that the testi
mony has been exhibited; While the
charge was whispered through the coun
try, there was no power to question it;
but it is at length brought to light. The
accusation is denied the accuser chal
lenged; and now the testimonv, collected
from all quarters, appears. The charge
is distinct, the evidence fully admitted,
although ex parte, voluntary, not free
from bias, and without the power of con-
tronting or cross-examining the witnesses.
Major Eaton is the ardent friend of the
General, and his adherence to him is ho
norable, whether it results from gratitude
for liis protection, admiration of his cha
racter, or devotion to h’s political for
tunes. He enjoys his confidence ; enters
in*o h:s feeling- - ; sympathizes with his
misfortunes ; he feels no doubt deeply the
disappointment of his hopes, and every
allowance is made for those feelings wb
embitter political life, and which few have
the power to repress
The Major had staked his fortunes on
the General; their fate was blended, and
jre perhaps' vet smarts under the irritation
of defeat, but he is too magnanimous to
resent, too noble to revenge.
There is an error in the mind of Major
Eaton, which pervades this whole subject,
which is the cause of all the misunder
standing,, and the orgin ofsll the injmious
suspicions which have flown from it; and
tint is, that Mr. Clay’s mind was decisive
ly fixed in the choice of President before
he came to Congress. His mind was ne
ver a moment in doubt. It does not arise
front any perversity certainly in General
Jackson and his friends: but they shot
their eyes to the fact, and reiterate a
cits ge utterly inconsistent with it.
Dr. Drake is a man of honor, of high
character, and whose fortunes are not
connected with the fate of public men, or
the rise of political parties; his testimony
has not been doubted ; but Mr. Clay’s
opinion lias been confided to several gen
tlemen, whose evidence, when necessary,
will leave no loop to hang a doubt upon.
At present, my object is the discussion of
the case as it is presented.
But why should not Mr. Clay have his
choice and his predelictions? He had
been long in public life; had seen and
known all the candidates; he was per
fectly acquainted with every man’s prin
ciples. talents, character, and services;
his mind had been strongly drawn to a
Consideration of their qualifications, during
the Pres' le-vial contest, he is not of a
'temper to be long undecided.
1 he feelings of die other candidates to
wards ea<-h other, was publicly known.—
It was said that Gen. Jackson esteemed
Mr. Adams, - disl ked M . Chv, and ab-
hoired Mr. C’awford; that Mr. Crawford
detested General Jackson, respected Mi.
Adams, esteemed Mr. Clay; that Mr.
Calhoun admired Mr. Adams, respected
Gen. Jackson, persecuted Mr. Crawford,
and was jealous of Mr. Clay.
Mr. Clay had, at different times, in the
discharge oft his p iblic duty, been brought
info collision with each of them; he had
been a competitor with them all, but he
was upon terms of social intercourse with
them; and the e was nothing to prevent
a free and unbiassed judgment. The. e
was no political connexion that could in
fluence his opinion.
Mr. Clay did
at Lexington, in
He was not alone in that opinion. But,
in spite of those faults- which arose from
the same source as all his high military
qualities, there was much to admire, and
his age and services, entitled him to res-
spect, although they did not qualify him
for the first office in thecoudtry.
The intercourse between Mr. Clay and
General Jackson had been restored—not
only had there been courtesy, but hospi
tality. They were rival candidates. The
General was about to pass through bis
State, and near his residence, and, if he
invited him to come there, to offer him
the public honors due to his rank and ser-
cation to General Jackson fts to Mr. Clay
conformable to reason and to nature, dif
fused over all, invariable, eternal ; which
calls to the fulfilment of duty, and to absti

irresistible voice, which is felt in all it<au-

(says Cicero) is as ancient as the system
of nature itself, or as the Being by whom
nature was formed.” “ The law on which
right or wrong depend, did not begin with
the law, when it was written—it is older
than the ages of nations and cities, and
cotemporary with the eternity of God.”

nor, in truih : I believe there is an iftter-

When it was ascertained that Mr. Clay
was not returned to the House, his situa
tion became more delicate and critical.—
He became an elector; he was in the
novel situation of choosing among his own
competitors ; he felt it his duty to observe
the greatest propriety of conduct; he de
termined to withhold the expression of his
opinion, that he might avoid the imputa
tion of influencing his friends, and leave
ihem all perfectly free to decide for them
selves; and this delicacy has been con
strued into, doubt and indecision, and a
desire to bargain for office. Suppose Mr.
Clay had formed no opinion, and the two
candidates stood equally before him.

and amiable officer and a safe mm
approved by Washington ; employed un
der every administration ; filling rhe high
est grade of office ; and carrying into oui
councils a vast fund of knowledge, with
extraordinary grasp of mind. If there is
any thing in his (Mr. Adams’) principles,
or his public life, that derogates from his
character, did it not exist before, & should
it not have weighed as strongly in the
minds of General Jackson, and all the o-
ther candidates, when they preferred him,
is on Mr. Clay ?
But how much more fair will Mr. Clay’s
conduct appear, when it is recollected that
his mind was made up from the beginning ;
‘hat it never changed, or doubted ; ‘hat, in
the midst of menaces and intimidation, lie
fearlessly discharged his duty: and liiat
•iris conduct and opinion has been highly
approved, on several public occasions, by
his immediate constituents.
Certainly the selection of Mr. Adams
is not evidence of itself of corruption, as it
might have been if he had selected an in
ferior or unworthy candidate. Then they
must impugn his motives, and admit he
did right, but was not influenced by any
of those high considerations of patriotism
which actuate men. but was solely influ
enced by personal motives. But how can
he escape from such a dilemma, but by
voting for the worst man? If his mind
was decisively made up to prefer Mr. A-
dams, before he came to Congress, then
there is no corruption : and suppose his
friends had known or believed that it was
the intention of the President to make him
Secretary of State—which is utterly de
nied—how could he escape from that di
lemma but bv turning round and votinga-
gainst him whom he preferred ? •
This imputation of motive goes to the
foundation of all virtue, and will destroy
the distinction between good and bad acts ;
and, if carried into public life, will poison
the fountain of honor. A man may. do
wrong, and it may be ascribed to his pas
sions, his prejudices, or his defective judg
ment. If he commits a crime, the law im
putes the wicked motive; but if he has
done right, how can you make drat crimi
nal by a metaphysical analyses of tire mo
tives of human action ? If you admit, the
parties equal, the choice difficult, and the
selection doubtful, bv what standard will
vou test the error of his judgment ? This
utation of criminal motive is founded
n the vicious exploded system of Md’nde-
!le, who belongs to that class of political
moralists whose theory ascribes morality
to human contrivance ; who consider the
general praise of virtue to be a mere arti
fice of political skill ; and what the world
consents to praise as virtne in the indivi
dual to be a mere imnosition on the part of
'lie v'lti-MMw mnn. Homan life, in short,
according to them, is a constant inter
course of hypocrisy with hvpccrisy. Th : s
votaries.
Mr. Hymen's register, however, is merely
a figurative fanciful concern. It is the
printer to whom the world looks fur proof
that the endearing knot- is tied. Without
this the mysterious and solemn ceremony,
that gives to two beings but one name, a
unity of existence, and sets the seal of
their weal or wo, losses half its conse
quence. A wedding, and no mention of
it in the next morning’s paper, is mere
blank.The fact is doubled or denied by all
who did not witness the ceremony, while
h so who did, wonder if the parties are
not half ashamed *o let the public know
they are married. A wedding, and no
notice of it by the printer, remains as un
known, unbonored as Achilles would be
without Homer, ./Eneas without Virgil, or
a lottery broker without advertisements.
But Homer and Virgil wrote for their own
fame, as well as that of theii heroes and
the broker looks to the profits, while the
printer who sets up a marriage, is generally
left to stick his types together at a late
hour of night, to give “ a local habitation
and a name” to some marriage, at which
others have piped and he has not danced,
feasted and be has not tasted a crumb,
drank (we mean wines and ladies’ cordials)
and he lias remained dry. “ Ah who c m
tell how hard it is” for the printer, when
called upon by an empty handed grooms
man to unlock bits form at the hour all o-
ther forms are locked in sleep, and squeeze

quite wonderful Low much this task is
sweetened by a bridal favor in the forn of
a slice of rich cake, smilingly presented L
one of love’s ministers, from the happy
pair. The very ink that gives the imp. es-
sion assumes a brightness as if reflected
from the (rustings of the cake, <fc blushing

which can never be felt but once their

cord of thrii union has been in cheerful
ness instead of vexation and reluctance,
so dissonant to every thing that should be
connected with that auspicious event.

Capt. Chasteau states that he heard the

f >r more than an hour, without any ability
to render them even the smallest assist

board the Amigos, they seemed so entire
ly paralysed by the danger of their situa

an effort for the preservation of their lives

in a most decisive tone, “ Before we sur
render, we will be buried beneath the ru
ins of our walls—there is no grave so glo
rious for the soldier as the turf beneath
his feet, which he has bravely defended.”
As we entered, catching the military spj-
t it of the speaker, and fired by the animat
ing sight before us, we could not help ex
claiming, though the exhortation was per
fectly unnecessary, “My lads, stand firm.
My*uncle 1 oby aud Corporal Trim never

(if it is one,) that he, like his renowned

We are surprised the opposition, who are
so philosphical, have not urged this, as
the necessary cause of General Jackson’s
failure at the last election. It is very
plain the “ Gods” were against him, and
the fiat of Heaven should have beensulij-

might be ascribed to personal motives.—
All that the parties do not consider such
shall be inserted gratuitously It is bad
enough in such a case to be married, with
out having to pay for if. The parson
gets his fee, the clerk his, the groomsmen
and bride-maids th'eir bridal favours, and
why should the printer be forgotten ?

Curious change of names!—The follow
ing singular application is made to the
Legislature of Tennessee, now in session
” Mr. M’Gahee introduced a bill to alter
the name of Susannah Cremer to William
Cremer, which was read the first time and
passed. [The petitioner had been consi
dered a woman, had worn females’ clothes,
upwards of 20 years, and had gone by a
female name. In 1825, petitioner chaog-
ed < liis habits' went to Virginia, married a
wife, and is now living in Green County.]
We refer our readers to an article head
ed “Sweets of Matrimony,” to show, we
have friends to sustain us in our determi
nation to insist on onr fees for announcing
marriages. One of our North Carolina
brethren lately acknowledged the receipt
of “ a hearty luncheon of the Bride’s
Cake” for recording the happiness of a
married couple. We do not see why our
edict 1 ’ should have the disastrous influ
ence attributed to it by oor friend of the
Constitutionalist; for if the “ happy man”
cannot afford a little of the wedding cake
to his printer, it is not likely be will be
able to furnish hoe -cake, when it shall be
wanting—a very necessary article in the
subsequent arrangements of a married
life.—Such Tellow ought not to have a
wife.

Oor readers may recolleet the important
fact which we formerly recorded, that Mr.
Clay walked across Pennsylvania avenue
to speak to Gen. Jackson. An equally
important matter has been the theme of
public discussion for some time past. It
has been alleged, to Mr. Clays everlast
ing infamy, that he wrote a letter to Gen.
Jackson, saying he would be glad of his
company on the journey from Lexington
to Washington city. But the art of trans
position is well understood by the politi
cians of the present day. Mr. Clay and
his friends were transposed for the friends
of Gen. Jackson on a late charge of cor
rupt propositions ; in the present instance,
it seems on the authority of tb» Kentucky
NORFOLK, OCT. 13.
The Spanish brig Armegas, or Amigos,
which was slated to have come in contact
with the brig Guatemala Packet, on Tues
day night, near Smith’s Island, did not go
down, but got in the same night and pro
ceeded up the bay for Balt, with loss only
of fore lop mast, main top gallant mast,
jib boom, and her head. It is since un
derstood that she anchored at New Point
Comfort. The Guatemala Packet left
Sewell’s Point on Thursday and also pro
ceeded up the Bay for Balt.—Com. Read

Mr. Adams and General Jackson, each
in their way possess qualifications of the
very highest order ; but they are the anti-*
podes of each other. The one is a civ
ilian, perhaps without his equal in the
world ; the other a soldier of the highest
rank and no doubt as brave as Ctesar.—
Nothing could be more preposterous than
the at.empt to convert the one into the
other. Who in his senses, would dreary
of taking the command of an army from
General Jackson and giving it to Mr; Ad
ams? And infinitely more preposterous
would it be to take the government out of
the hands of Mr. Adams arid place it it
those of General Jackson. -
