fact, strange as it may appear, that neiitk-F? men of the most delicate sense of honpr. - ? justice, ami propriety, (and among tints number I tegret to find the gentleman frolifi \ irginia,) should have felt themselves cos-0 strained to snatch from the inevitable fan Ja such stuff is destined to reach, and give it£j form, dignity, and substance, by urging itsji consideration before the Congress of United States. Sir, what has the I’resi-C dem done ? 1 have already adverted to trial and condemnation before the Senate® of the United States without notice, or atijq opportunity allowed him to defend himseh'.tM I have already stated, that when that sen-Jp tenet-was about to go forth to the world, he?? petitioned, in the form of a memorialist, n-w gainst that sentence, which that just and< patriotic body re lit sed to receive and entcr& on their journals. In the progress ofthe discussion that tookfin place on his trial, the President hadal leasts'- one friend, nnd the constitution and tin H laws had one. That friend's voice wnsj; heard : it was raised in tones of thunder a-’\ gainst the iniquity of the Senate’s proceed-U itiar; and although stilled in that body, w.-i/s doomed to reach the ear, the heart, and thetj judgment of every man on this continental that abhorred injustice, oppression, and a’d violation of the laws ami the constitution.-j Sir, this speech was published in the Globe} 1 , of this city, and the President did dare t«»S| send copies the Globe containing that« speech tr><* number ol his first, his earliest, j and bes't friends in the State of Tennessee him who had watched every movement of ' his p ditical life ; who had supported andt sustained him ; who had fought their coun- s’’ try’s battles, and served in the councils of > tire nation, side by side, with him ; had mingled around the social board with* him; who, in short, in every situation, high* or low, had been the same consistent, devo- : $ ted friends. To such men the President# did feel himself authorized, nay, called up-'J on, when the Senate of the United Slntesjfl had not only preferred charges against him.J affecting his character, but even went ro farS as to condemn him unheard, to give somea explanation. That explanation was cou-w tained in the speech he enclosed. It wnsjl the best he could do; it was all that wasS left to him to do. lie was not permitted f? tt» speak for LimseltL He was compelled toy’ take such explanations as the few and faith-g fid friends to the constitution and the laws§ in tire Sgpute would furnish him. But itW is said that there was an editorial article inj' the same number of the Globe some charge against Judge White, and that,g therefore, General Jackson did not send the| paper so much for the purpose ol defendingg himself as oft circulating an editorial attack j on Judge White. R Sir, this is too shallow ; it is really too • small a matter. Honorable gentlemen must? be more charitable. No man can believes that General Jackson for one inometv] thought of, or what was most probable,? knew of the offensive article in relation to® Judge White. And none but those who.] like Judge White, could love the interest General Jackson better than their own.] would ever have thought of charging tbeg President with the intention of assail-g ing another while Ire was only defending] himself. Sir, in relation to the letter to the Rfv.g Mr. Gwin, 1 have only to say that no g?n-| flemati less talented than the member fr>mg Virginia would have ventured to assail :hej principles therein set forth. But the gm-te tieman has discovered in that letter heg hand of the 41 magician,” ami, thercf<re,| he is somewhat excusable. There is a ror in the popularity of that individialS that never fails to startle some gentlemens whenever his name is mentioned. AndQ since it is their pleasure to cherish it, tlrvS should be indulged, free of reproach Foim one, I can only say, that I shall continieJg ns I have done, t« judge him by his acts,M ready to give him my support in such mta-S s tires as I believe to be light, and equally g prepared to oppose him in whatever 1 k-w lieve wrong. But to proceed : Geno-aIH Jackson had been charged with an attenptg to interfere with the Presidential electi»n,fi and that too, in the National Republicin,® published at Nashville. This charge lieu knew to be unfounded, and calculated produce an unpleasant state of feeling :n® home, amidst his early and constant frieiris,® and to one of that number he addrcssei afe letter, explaining the object he had in view,] which was to contradict the report circua-E ting through the columns of that paper.K For this simple act, the President h is pis-B sed through the hands of the gentlenana from Virginia, nnd has received from liiuE the most unbounded censure. Sir, the honorable gentleman should hive] remembered that the President was rerell-B ing, not making charges, when the lelte- inß question was written. Why, the homra-g hie member from Virginia would not even] allow the President the right to deny iliatl he had interferred, or intended to interf?re,l with the approaching election. If he re-1 mains silent under the accusation, every] body is to believe it true, and the charge] conk] then be made with some propriety.] But, it seems, there is no mode by wlich] the President can escape the censure of '.he| opposition. The organ of Judge Wliteg in Tennessee charges Gen. Jackson vitl.g being opposed to his election, and ilsngg his influence against him. Gen. Jackamg is not to deny the charge, or say one w<rd,| for if he dares to do so, the very act of I■•-] fence is to belaid hold of as evidence oflheE truth of the charge. General Jackson in his letter says, “UiE my friends must perceive that to be conis-fi tent, my preference, as far as men arc cm-B cerned, ought to he for him who is noslf likely to be choice of the great Indi Ji of the-republtrans and yet if this iidi-8 vidual should not be Judge White, the <di-I tor ol the Republican is ready to cry mt, 3 “Dictation.” The President says to Mr.J Gwin, “You are at liberty to sav, or all® occasions, th it regarding the people astheg true source of political power, I am always] ready to bow to their will and their julg-i ment.” And this is the letter that has b-enS introduced as evidence of “ dictation ’ asl evidence of “ interference with election. Sir, such sentiment! stand in need of node -5 fence from me. I should Int injure the! force ol truth, I should insult the uriler-1 standing, by further explanation of the mar-C ges brought against the President in respect. Let the generous and the just,? • has character to lose, deiv to. jany individual, however high or low ill this 3 Rcoiintry, the right to defend his reputation* jfrom the assaults of slander. Where isthatA Sman to be found ? 1 believe this right has£ Soever been denied to any individual howev-S a<*r humble his station, except to General® S.l ack-on. | Fortunately for him, fer the age, and for theg reountry, he does not require it. 11 is niemoryja •lives embalmed in the hearts of his country men.g Silis virtue was never seduced; his Jo is never corrupted.

GOV. SCHLEY. | J We have heretofore had occasion to no-S ,lice the efforts which a portion of the op-w are making, io blend party {with the management of the present CreekT }war, and make it a theme for the indulgences tof their violent hatred to the Governor of® —We had hoped that a course soS and unjust would not be generallyS Sadopted on the part of bis opponents, butS Kif their presses are to be taken as properS (exponents of their wishes, we have beens in our calculations. ?the Governor has acted with the utmost en-S rtergy and promptitude ; although at the firsts] of danger he assumed the res-yj st)Oiisibility of ordering out a large and es-R fflicicnt force, without waiting for the sanc-0 gtion of the General Government, whose® it is to provide for the war—al-B jjthough in the selection of officers be hasE .inot confined his choice to the ranks of liisS Sfriends alone, but has taken from both par-g sties ; yet we comicually hear complaints a-R against him of w ant, of promptness, of il)ib-|| nerality in the selection of officers, and ofsl Sgross injustice towards some of those enga-Ig fged in the war. Gov. Schley is accustom-9 led to persecution—it has been his lot to en-S I counter the abuse of his enemies, as w ell asa I the cowardly thrusts of pretended friends—?£ land he has passed through all, not onlySs • without injury but with the highest honor.® I "Fortified with the impenetrable bulwark truth, and shielded by the bright panoply® of an approving conscience, he has beenß i-nabled to sustain himself triumphantly be-S ore his fellow-citizens, and obtain thtir wellS j .iestow ed confidence ami support. And the® 1 present designs upon his enviable reputa-ra ; tion, are, like those which have preceded® drein, destined to effect nothing but the con-» fusion and degradation of their promo-g ters. g One ground of complaint, which seemsS to have s’tirred up the bile of the ntillifiersS .0 an exceeding height, is that the Gover-Ss nor chose to appoint Gen. Sanford, and not® Gen. Bailey, to trie command of the Geor-ffl gia forces. An excitement is attempted topi be gotten up on this subject, in w hich w<?R I liscovcr that his reverence, the carping cri-a | icof the State Rights’Sentinel, is figuric.gs ffargely. This mild and Christian like ed-H silor, denounces the conduct of the Gover-a ]nor as “ pitiful” and “contemptible,” be-Kj a-ause after he had politely thanked Gen.s| |l:3ailey for voluntarily raising some Sand marching to the defence of the frontier,® ]andupon the tender of his services, toldfa Shim he would avail himself of them, he did§ >ot appoint him to the chief command. Now,ja Sin our humble opinion, this is a s(ind “ contemptible” effort <hi the part Mihe aforesaid editor, to cast censure whereSj « mne is deserved, and to accomplish a po-B 3 ilical purpose, regardless of the means em-S Iployed. We have read the gbetween Gov. Schley and Gen. Bailey, ands Eno more gather from it, that the Governors gviolated any pledge to the General, thanS |Lve would infer from perusing the S if the Sentinel, that its conductor practices] Qdie divine precepts of charity and benevo-M Silence, which he sometimes pretends tog Eteach. The facts, as we understand them,® Hare these : Gen. Bailey upon hearing of® Bthe Creek disturbances, immediately repair-] g ’d to Columbus, w ithout orders, and repor-S ■ted to the Governor that he was ready tow ■ -xecute any orders that might be given liim.jS £ The Governor in reply Says, “ 1 thank voiip ■for your promptness and will avail mvsehffl ■if your services.” Subsequently he order-3 Hid him to West Point, and informed himg ■that he might consider himself “ in com-® H nand of that point, and that section of the® H’rotitier.” At this time no appointment toK ■die chief command had been made, but Maj.® ■Gen. Sanford was afterwards appointed to® Bthatslation, and Gen. Bailey was requested® ■to send to him “ all the troops that were] ■mt indispensable at West Point.” Gen.B SB. was still to continue in command aiE West Point, but without troops sufficient® g;o require an officer of his grade ; he there-® Sforc solicited the Governor to be allowed® §Mo accompany those that were to march 11. d on being refused resigned thecommand,« » tiforming the Governor that he had expec-B y cd, from the communications made him, toB ic placed at the head of the Georgia army.S J We do not censure Gen. Bailey, for he mights g have supposed that the Governor intended] wto confer the command upon him, from theH ■tenor of his first letter; but we at the sainei glime believe that it does not necessarily re-ffl ■quire such a construction. The Governor® Ewotild not, of course, drive a General from] Ktlie field, who like Gen. Bailey, had prompt-] Sty volunteered hisservices, and being near-E Best the field of danger, had been the first tog ■reach it, but such an event certainly did notg Rimpose any obligations upon Gov. Schley,® »to forego his choice of officers, and take] Jjthe first who should present himself, lib ji this were admitted, officers in every emer-H Kgency of this kind might appoint them-K gfselves, and take precedence in proportions Mastheir taking the field was earlier or la-H wu r.— Who does not perceive that in this| the best officers might sometimes befi w here others of inferior capaci-1 >fy were suffered to command ? Os course,'* |we do not intend to be understood as insin-’t Kuating that such would have been the easels win the present instance, Ibr we have Fdoubt Gen. Bailey would have done honor'L 3to the station ; but we should not admit 1 j which might lead to such disastrous' J j • 3 Gov. Schley had an undoubted right to’" ■select the General who should command . Sthejarmv, and we do not doubt but liis has been judicious. But he happen-' Sed to prefer a political friend for that sta-,. igtion, to one in the ranksol those who op-; Spose and villily him, and here is the secreui R;of all the parade about Gen. Bailey’s ilk jl—if Gen. Sanford had been first on the? Sfield, and Gen. Bailey had received the|j if Executive appointment, the candid mdlili-a gers would have thought it all right and pro-? ■per. As it is, “it is our bull that has go- 1 /? iSred their ox,” and the Sentinel cries so much for parti/.'" Now we hold aevery thing else being eq-ual, it is the dutyiv Slof the Governor to fill the offices at his dis-w with men who can enter into his lee)-?' ‘dings and take an interest in the execution o!Vi Shis measures—with those in whom he has? and who have confidence in Kami. >I > tail 11 the present state of Slitical feeling, lie must choose his wfriends. Were we disposed to complain,lx awe should say, that instead of being gttidedp Sby party considerations, the Governor hasg ■been too liberal in the selections he has® gjmade. Gen. Sanford has a staff Ualmost if not altogether of nullifiers——Colo-S Howard, who was early placed in com-g smand by the Governor, is a gmember of that party —and other instances!!; wmight be mentioned where offices have Sbestpwed upon his opponents, w hen enough® sto till them might have been found among® Shis friends, equally as deserving. He w ills Sprobably find out if he does not already® ■know, that in order to quiet the nullifiers,g Sthey must monopolize all his patronage •Sami that it is a useless effort at ■to let them share it. g From the Richmond Enquirer.

He believes; Hthat when the revenues of the General shall produce more than c snottgb to supply its legitimate wants, it is gthe duty of Coigress forthwith to reduce. Lithe taxes upon the people. To collect for ■ithe purposes, ofdistribution, is neither po qiitic nor economical It is not politic, be- Kcause it necessarily' increases the corps ol Spublic officers, rnd consequently' the influ-!

It is not better that 4the farmer’s dollar should be left in his own pocket, than tha: it should be taken cut by taxes direct or indirect, and after a years de tention, be handed back to bitn or to his State Legislature with a deduction of twenty cents to pay' collectors and clerks who have been employed to take it away and bring it back ?
