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, of Mr. Clay; and who has himself not on-1 .. , n , T ,, D i . t . . . .t „ c Exchange Coffee House, in dosiod, on ly the highest interest m the success of, ,=> , D ’. e ,? , ... . . 1 • 1 Thursday last, at which tho President ot Mr. Calhoun s ambition, but has mam- . . fT .

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. Their intelligence and virtue the best se 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.] The Army and Navy—In peace, con quering themselves, that in war they may the better conquer their enemies. Rail Roads and Canals—Roadstopros- f‘)t I am sure yon know him too well to j peritv, and channels of wealth. nLirfl \rniie- nlf I ti n ~I *! .1 it 1 ‘ that, il it existed, motive ; creatiu.- or ideal crime, ;j. can see it, 110 on.

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 always at the very name of reform of a- buses; for he had often remarked, that ev ery one called that law which was confor mable to tns personal views, and called an abuse whatever was likclv to. thttQrt his «rq IrJegtiUS' By President Adams.

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.

She has set Editors by the ears, States men at loggerheads, and citizens at vari ance. Quarrels and musquetoes abound —bilious fevfers, and bilious dispositions are universal; the summer smiled so warmly as she departed, that autumn has not yet cooled our scorched bodies. N. Y. Morn. Cour. 1 ---- AUGUSTA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1827. Ia our last we honored the port of Au gusta, with the arrival of the Birmingham, from Liverpool. We hope we did not put any of our readers to the trouble of running down to our wharf to see the no ble stranger. As we do not wish to rob New-York of any of the honors, with which both nature and commerce have crowned her, we hasten to acknowledge the injustice, of which by a little inadver tence, we have been unwillingly guilty.— We thus repair our errors the more readi ly, because we then stated, that our river was very low, and we do not wish such an evidence of our inconsistency to remain long on record against us.

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.

It is believed that this was the only sin gle combat in which Putnam was ever en gaged a circumstance the more to be 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.

De Roos in this country, says that some wags in the principal hotels in the city of New-York, are very much in the habit of amusing themselves by giv ing false information to British tourists on their arrival in that city, varying their re presentations according to the ignorance or credulity of the traveller ; he mentions aiuinstance of one who was made to be lieve he had the yellow fever coming on him, which so frightened him that he em barked the next morning for Liverpool, two weeks after his arrival, though he in tended to stay two years and write two volumes. Another was induced to fill his note book with the wildest and most ex travagant memoranda. Some of these fell into the hands of the wags who had made him their victim, and ran thus: “New London, a city of Massachusetts, settled by English from Londou in 1813; now contains 164,000 inhabitants, five thea tres, amongst which are French, German and Italian companies—Mem. to visit it.” “ Erie canal—1132 miles loug—half a mile wide—-joins the Pacific and Atlantic oceans—crossing Allygenny [qu.

[Lacon. 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 the 42d balloting. 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. Among the persons presented to the King at St. Cloud, is a Mr. Martial, who ung. if styled Vicnr-General of Kanfuckw, Mr. Sanford, the proprietor of «h e fayette Theatre, New-York, p 0sse probably more theatric il property,tha n - * other individual in the world.
