A pleasing appearance is the first Letter of Recommendation. M RS. VINCENT'S Genuine Gowlnnd’s Lotion is the most pleasant nnd effect- uni Remedy for ull Complaints to which the Face and Skin are liable, by removing every kind of Conrs.-ncss, Eruption, nnd Unplea sant Appearance, and rendering tho Skin Clear, Smooth nnd Transparent. This elegant, safe, nnd mild preparation, for the cure of all cutaneous disorders, for the removal of all eruptions from the face and skill, und for improving the most delicate complexion, stands as n discovery without its equal in tho annuls of medicine :—its success bus been found adequate to its merits ;—tho reception which it has met with in the fush- io.-ublo world, tho many thousands of rujik and distinction who have adopted, continued and recommended its use, could not but prove an inticemont to contemporary jealousy.— Like other inventions of moritaud importance in the medical world, it has been assailed by weak but mischievous imitation. To prevent being so imposed upon, observe tho Name M E. Vincent on the Label. Tho rno.-t tender Lady or Child may at all times make use ofthis Lotion with the grea test safety, ami a few weeks application will restore even tho most infl.i ned Face to ncool und clear transparent beautiful white and red.

It stands unrival led for clearing tin* Face and Hkin from all Eruptions, Freckks, extraordinary JledmvB, Effects of Surfeits, Heels,and Tumours, Scor butic Impurities, and dryness of tho Skin, ull Blotches and Pimples, from whatever chirg arising, hard lumps or Knobs in tho Skin, the Greasy o» Oily Appearance, livid anil sickly Paleness, Thickness, nnd < tpneity. and for cleaning and improveing the Complexion. A good uppearance is certainly one oft hose advuntogos which is silently operating in our favour ever*' moment of our lives, even in nur absence; while* a forbidding visage, or one marked with disease, is more forcibly acting, and unfortunately in n much greater variety of wavs to our disadvantage, than is general ly apprehended. Persons who regard either wlint is due to themselves, or the fuvour and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between tho.come- lines of health and the deformity of disease, and who cun weigh the advantages which be long to und are insi parable from an engaging appearance, to which they themselves have by nature tho strongest claims, ore seriously assured tlnit those advantages ore to be ob tained by the use of this Lotion, prepared bv Mrs. Vincent, sole proprietor oi* Dr. Gow- land’s M S.

SAMUEL C. HOUSE, july 14 . Administrator. TO THE CITIZENS OF TIIE UNITED STATES. The appearence of the address of the Vice President of tho United States rentiers it un necessary to offer any apology for the follow ing uddress. Tfie Review of the correspon dence signed A. H. originally published in the Georgia Journal, of iTioUlst of April last, und several articles in the Globe and other newspapers have in my judgement sufficiently cx| Joined my conduc. to ull impartial and un prejudiced minds ; & those of a d ft'*rent des cription, it is improbable thut any thing iliat 1 can urge will convince. Besidis it is not vory important to the poo^o of the United States before whom there is no pruhabili'y, 1 shall ever again be placed, to form any delta, ite, opinion of mv motives or conduct .in the transactions.devloped in the correspondence, between the Prosid mt & V.Presiden:. I say t is not very important,to the citizens of the U. Suites; but it is important to me individually, to have my conduct correctly understood ; for no man However retired In* may live ought to be iiunfferent to public opinion. It n?so appears from the newspapers, thut an expla nation from me is expected, und desired. I therefore submit to the apparent necessity of appearing, before the public. 1 understood from loiters received during the last, session of Gongrcss, thut ibe Vice President, and Iun friends were endeavoring to make the impression that lliu difficulty be- tween him and ilio President, had been pro duced, by me from a desire on my part to in gratiate myself with the President. If this impression had been made by their joint effort lbe Vico President has dispelled, the illu sion , fur by his publication, it is clearly us- lal.lished that tho measure did not originate with me; hut thut iri the whole uffu'r I have been passive. In fact I ussert without the f ur of contradiction, that no interecuurse, cither verbal or written lias taken place be tween the President and inys>•!f since a few days after tho Presidential elecliu.i in tin* House of Representatives in February 1825. Durng the call General Jackson then made upon me no reference whatever tv is made to what had passed, in relation to the Gonerul or myself. I considered the call us evidence of a better state of feeling on lus purl than had been understood to have previously existed ; and as I bad never cherished any feelings of hostility towards him, 1 was perfectly willing hub,tlni punt should be buried in oblivion.— But tho publication of the correspomlenc lias relieved mu from thu ueuoMiiy, of saying any thing more upon this subject. Two other charges have brow made against me: 1st. That the confidential letter of General Jackson, which I say wus produced and read in tin* cabinet, wus not produced and read. And 2d. Tim' 1 have improperly, dis- closed cabinet secrets. Upon the 1st. objection negative testimony is relied upon. Mr. Monroe, Mr. Adams and Mr. Wiri, do not recollect that it was pro. dueed nnd read : or r.rtlter Mr. Adams, and Mr. Wirt, do not recollect it; for its manifest that Mr.Monroe, has no recollection upon the subject, having relied wholly upon Mr. Wirt. But Mr. Calhoun, bus a distinct recollection that it was not produced, and read. Without relying upon that rule* of legal evidence,which declares, iliut one uffinuutive witness conn tervuils many neguli'-e ones, there is 1 be lieve abundant evidence in the correspon dence itself to support my statement. Here I beg leave to transcribe an urticlo from the Globe of the 20th Fehruury lust, which bus much force and cogency, and proves at least presumptively, that my statement concerning the confidential letter is correct. The Globe says “ After all the statements, und retrac tions, about the production of General Jack- “ son’s letter before the cabinet m July, 1818, “MrM oi*roe’s loiters published by MrC'ulhoun •• go far to confirm Mr. Crawfords statement". “ In the conclusion of Mr. Monroe’s letter •* to General Jiu kson, dated December tin “21st 1818 (printed 830 by mistake in the “pamphlet) Mr. Monroe thus speaks of the “ confidential letter: your letter of Ihe 0th of “January, was received whilst I was oeri* “ouely indisposed : observing that it was “fr in you 1 handed it to Mr. Culhoun to “ read ; ufler reading one or two lines my. “self. Thu order to take command in that “quarter had before then been issued He “remarked after reuding the letter it wus n * confidential one relating to Florida whi< h I “must answer. I asked him if he had for- “ warded to you 'ho orders that lied been “given to General Gaines on that subject.— “ lie replied that he had. Y-mr letter to me “with many others from friends was put “aside inconsequence of my indisposition; “ and the great pressure upon tne at the time “ uml never recurred to, until after rny return “ from Loudon on the receipt of yours hy Mr. “ Humbly and then on the siifrgestinnof Mr. “ Calhoun. Now when d d Mr. Monroe,re- “turn from Loudon, und when was the letter “by Mr. Humbly received! Mr. Calhoun “ bus given us the evidence to show. In one “of lus notes be tells us that tiie 1st cabinet “meeting on that sulject took place on the “ 15th or 16rh of July 1818 Mr. Monroe Imv- “mg returned on the I4iii from bis residence “in Loudon. Mr. Monroe’s letter to Gene- “r«l Jackson dated 19th July 1818, lejins “thus, “ I received lately your letter of Juno “21 st hy Mr. Humbly, u my farm in Loudon. “&c.” Thus the time when tho confiden tial letter wus looked up. on the suggestion “ of Mr. Calhoun, is identified within a few “days. It whs after Mr Monroe’s return “from Loudon, on the 14th and before 19th “of July 1818, the very period ut which the “Cabinet wc r • deliberating abou the Semi- “ nob* War, and ut the very time Mr. Craw- “ ford says it was produced before them.— “ The e is a remarkable coincidence, be tween the dotuils of Mr. Crawford’s recent Ladies’ Umbrellas »V Parasols A GOOD assortment is offered at redu- sed prices for Credit or Cash at No. 1. Shad’d Buildings b; July 26 s by NORTON & FULLER, “ to until alter my return from LouiIor, 6cc., “and then on the suggestion, of Mr. Cat- “ houn, Hero is conclusive proof of tw® “tilings, 1st the confidential letter was pro- “ duced an the suggestion of Mr. Calhoun» “after Mr. Monroes return from Loudon, on “ ho 14th and before the writing of his let. " ter to General Jackson the 19th of July “ 1818. 2d. Mr. Crawford was present when “ tho suggestion was made and the letter pro. “ duced. Tho Cabinet it s> ems were «eve' ul “days in deliberation. Mr. Wirt, might no| “ h ive b on present whon the letter was pro- “ duced. At any rate the proof is conclusive “ that tho letter was producod to Mr. Craw- “ ford, on Mr. Calhoun’s suggestion. Mr, “ Calhoun’s own uccou.n. of thut letter is in. correct. Ho says, my recollection in re lation to it uccurds with Mr. Monroe’s statement. I came into tho room when ha “ hud apparently just received the letter. Ho “ was indisposed ut the time. I think he open- “cd the letter in my presenco,and finding that “it was fnnn you, ho gave tome the letter to “ read. I cast ray eyes over it,& remarked that ' it related to the Seminole war, and would r> quire his attention or, something to that eftu't. I thought no more of it. Long af ter I think it wus at the commencement, of “ the next session of Congress I heard sotno “ allusion which brought ihe letter lo my re. “ o loctfon. It was from a quarter that in* “ duced mo to believe it came from Mr. •‘Crawford. I called and mentioned it to * Mr. Monroe and found that he had entirely 4 forgotten the letter. After searching some “ time, he found it umongst some other pa- “ pets, and read it as he told me for the first * l time. Mr. Monroe’*'account of the matter “ writion in December 1818, she rtly after the 44 meeting of Congress, proves that this story “ as to tune ;s entirely fabulous. That letter “connected tfitli that of tho 19th of Ju'y “ proves that tho hunting up of the loiter on “ the suggestion of Mr. Calhoun, and the “ reading for the first time took place direct- “ ly after Mr. Monroes return from London “ on the 14th July, 1818, during the delibera tions of the cabinet. Upon this evidence, “may Mr. Crawford turn round und pity anil “tuuut Mr. Calhoun for decay of his memo- “ ry. lie has notoriously published to the 44 world a gross misrepresentition ofthis af- “ fuir with tiie evidence of its incorrectness “ before him, in his own documents. If mcm- “ ory had failed him, he might have relied “for correct information on tho account giv- “cn by Mr. Monroe, in 1818, which is cer- “ tainly more likely to bo correct, than any “statement made by him now. He Mr. “ Monroe could not have forgolton the facts. 44 Thus vanishes one of Mr. Calhouns, clouds “ ofdust, which ho had raised, to blind tho “ people in relation lo his own conduct to-- “ wards General J ckson.” I shall not, however, turn upon Mr. Cal houn and reproach him with his decay of memory, for if he is to bo believed, he never hud.tny to decay, ns 1 snails o.v before this review is closed. No, it is the wont of ve racity which must be reproached to Mr, Cal houn, and not the decay of his memory. In support of the argument ofthc Globe, founm'4 on Mr. Monroe’s letters of the 19th of July, u id 21st of December, 1818, 1 shall produce a passage from Mr. Monroe’s letter to me of the 8th August, 1830.—“I lay in bed morn 'than a week during which that letter (tho confidential one,) was removed, and every tiling relating to that war having boen pre viously arranged, it was forgotten and never read by me until after the meeting of the ad ministration, anil the decision as to the coursu to be pursued in reference to its manageuio.it. My impression is Lhat I read it then, <wi a suggestion of Mr Calhoun, that it required my intention. Had 1 read it when I receiv ed it, I should have considered it confiden tial, and never h^pe.shewn it to any one, however great my confidence in them might be." It is somewhat difficult to ascertain wlmt Mr. Monroe's meaning in the foregoing quotation is. lie stutesthat “every thing rela- tingto that war,havingbden previously arrang ed, the letter was removed, and forgotten, and never read by me (Mr. Monroe) until after the meeting of the administration, and the decision ns to the courso to be pursued in re ference to its management.” It is manifest that the first part of the foregoing sentence relates to the arrangement ofthe letters papers concerning the Seminole war. Tho second member seems to present tho idea, that the letter was produced und read on the suggest ion of Mr. Calhoun, after the decis ion ofthe udmiuinistrution in reference to its management. The management of what! Ofthe Seminole war. That had terminated before tho mooting. If Mr Monroe intended to stute, that the letter produced and road upon the suggestion of Mi. Calhoun that it requited lus uttention, after the decision of thu administration upon the course to be pur- sued towards Spam and towards General Jackson ; then it is manifest that he is mis taken. I' is impossible in the nature of things thut Mr. Calhoun could have believed, nr suggested that, that letter required the President’s attention, uft5f the decision of • he administration upon tho events ctf thw campaign had been formed. It v. as impossible in tho nature ofthings that the President’s attention could be necessary to thu letter after the decision had been made on the events ofthe campaign. I have before me u letter from n memner of Congress from this State, in which he urges “that tho confidential letter must heve been before tho Cabinet, ns it was necessary to a correct de cision ofthe question growing out pf the Seminole war, and that the President and Secretary of War, ought to have been itnprea- efied if it had been withheld.” When Mr. Calhoun referred to the letter my impression was and is now that he wished it produced to prove that General Jackson, instead of net ing in conformity to the orders of tho War department hud deddrmiiied to tako the Spanish posts before he received orders to tuke the management of that war. It i* probable that whon he referred to that letter, ho wus not aware thut it had not freer, an swered. It is easy to underhand why Mr. Calhoun should cull the President’s attention to that loiter before the Cabinet lu d t ided upon his cousre to be pursued towards Spain and especially, toward- General Jackspn—«, hut after that decision had been mp.de, it i® impossible to conceive a morive for bringing in u ider consideration.
