DIO GEN. EXPLAIN.
Tbe’disuytion print* have frequently
asserted that Gen. Jackson modified and
exp-Wfned away bis views upon the right
o| secession, as contained in Ids Procla
mation and Notification Message. This
is not so. Aml ran Jackson Dona lon,
i.it?” present Editor ol the Washington
Union, was Gen. Jackson’s private Sec
rtf ary at tin? time, and utterly denies the
fai t. In the Union of July 3rd, Major
Donulson, has a long article in which he
: denies that Jackson, Madison, or any of
the Democrats of their day, believed in
die right of a State to secede. He then
adds:
‘Equally unfounded is the insinuation
that Uen, Jackson’s proclamation was die
| composition ol federal minds, and was nf,
lerwards amended iri order to sati.-fy the
scruples ol an offended democracy.—
General Jackson never, by any act of his
hie, explained away the meaning of his
proclamation. The publication authori
zed by him conioins the fullest proof dim
all assertions to ibis effect were gratui
tous and unfounded. Indeed, the very
passages ol that document which were ap
proved by that portion ofhis cabinet
which were never suspected ol a federal
affinity. There is not a sentiment in that
document w hicli mi limit's against tbs Vir
ginia resolutions; there is not a word in
it which General Jackson ever consented
to modify or to change; not one that am
member of his cabinet desired to change,
either Alien or since, that ever we have
heard 0f.4 Nor is it true to say that Mr.
Livingston wo,s the dim docu
ment. ii was pui iiitoioini chiefly by him,
because it w as a document to be recorded
in the Slate Department; but inessential
features were drawn up iinrnedimkly un
der die direction and dictation of the Gen
eral himself. Indeed, when presented to
the cabinet it underwent important, chan
ges and particularly in the features which
the constitution was formed, and die mode
in which it bound all the people under
one common and united government.
RFIETTS. ENDORSEMENT.
The Richmond Enquirer, the leading
democratic paper of Virginia, makes the
following remark in reference to the recent
speech of Mr. Rlietl endorsing his friends
Me Donald and Quitman :
“Mr. Rbett’s cheering reference to
j Quitman and McDonald will excite the
I storm of indignation in Mississippi and
[Georgia—and unless those gentlemen
shall promply and emphatically disclaim
all sympathy, on their part, for the blind
and reckless movements ofMr. Rhett and
his brother disuniooists of South Carolina
their defeat w ill be among tiie most over
whelming on record.”
lias Gov. McDonald “promptly and em
phatically disclaimed all sympathy for the
blind and reckless,ntovemntsof Mr. Rhett
and his brother disunionistsoi South Car
olina r” Not he. There are lon many Car
j olinians in this State, and too many of Ids
supporters are rank disunionist,” for him
|to do any such thing. That is not all.
Rhett knew his man. He knew hissenti
mems, and would not have claimed him
.is one of liis colaborers, if lie had not been
certain of il. The fact that McDonald
has not ’’disclaimed all sympathy with
him, is conclusive proof of liis disaffection*
to the Union, and his disire for a ’’South,
ern Confederacy'.” Eet ‘the people re
member this. He is claimed by Rhett—
he has not denied the claim—and his fail
ure to do so shows it is well founded.—

New \ork Money Market* aug.
4.-The state of the money market, w hich
exhibited evidence ol improvement at the
close # of day, on Saturday, was’pro
duced more by an over provision for the
exigencies of the hour, than by any radi
cal change in tlie slates of money. The
mercantile interest begins to lee! with
greater intensity the pressure of the mar
ket, and as the Imnks particular discount
enance the paper ol importers of foregin
merchandise, and all credits that emanate
ho in that source, it spreads a wider influ
ence than persons generally believe.—
1 his refusal to discount importer’s pa
per, does not arise from any want of con
fidence in the stability of that class
ol the mercantile community, as they are
esteemed one of the most responsible a
inong our business classes, hut from the
belief that if the facilities anticipating
‘heir sales are denied them, thnl the im
portations may he essentially checked, as
a large amount of goods will he forced
oil at auction, and the low prices ruling
may induce foregin slippers to withhold
their consignments. With this view the
contraction will go on until it produces
this result; we may therefore, forego any
hope that the banks will do otherwise
than keep the money market in a strin
gent state lor some time.
A large influx ol gold dust from Cali.,
fornia would inspire more confidence in
the future, and release a considerable a
moiint of priv ate capital which has been
suddenly withdrawn from active use
consequent on the absence of confidence
hut from their steady course of contraction
for the next sixty days. But extensive
remittances from California would exers
rise a salutary influence in calming the
minds of (lie community, arresting the
rapid decline of- prices, removeing the
apprehensions of numerous failures, and
dissipating the fears af a panic. The
banks and the commuity having rested
with confidence and security on the belief
that the flow of gold frbm California
would be undiminshed, were not prepared
for such a reduction in the vaults of the
hanks that small amounts required for the
ordinary operations ol the interior alarm
these institutions.

A Voice from Dooly,
Messrs. Editors Will you allow me
a brief space in your columns, to say a
few words to my old friends ol the Demo
cratic parly, with whom 1 have acted lor
years, and with whom I still hope to la
bor for the protection and preservation of
the Union. For years past we have
been together on the Calhoun platform
of non-intervention. In our different
conventions we have adopted and ap
proved the following among other kin
dred resolutions.
Resolved, That the people of the
South do not ask of Congress to estab
lish the institution of Slavery in any of
the territories that maybe acquired by
the United Slates : They simply require
that the inhabitants of eacli Territory,
tliali he left free to determine for themseN
ves, whether the institution of slavery
shall or shall not form a part of their so
cial system.
It was on this platlorm that wejall rallied
in support of General Cass. Why then
shall we forsake the same principle now,
when unbraced in the bills which have
passed Congress ? Why dissolve the Un
ion or raise the cry of resistance, because
California has done the very thing which
we resolved she had a right to do ? Why
then break up this our glorious existing
government, because California aban
doned by Congress, left without law or
government framed her Constitution,
without serving the pupilage of a Terri
torial probation. Why determine to re
sist the laws of Congress, because slavea
| ry was not established ? or in other words
has not refpse to admit California, be
cause she did not tolerate slavery in her
Constitution ? These, my Democratic
friends, are questions which I put to yon as
honest, consistent men. Are you going
to rally in support of Charles J. McDon
ald who is the disunion candidate? are
you going to abandon old party
are you determined to forsake your greajfl
conservative principle ? No never [jMuut
ly in the support of the Hon. Jpiwell
Cobb, who is the great ihMKbn of
the South, and a devotedapend of the
Union ol the Stales wither dishonor.
For the honor of oqtfKlcestors let us
not be deluded princi
ples. interfered to es
labbsli si aunt in California. And so we
for the future. The VVil
has been excluded from both
gjPFmw Mexico and Utah bills, audit
liVen has been repealed in a part Tex
‘as; And to all this the .fugitiie slave bill,
and I ask you why in the name of com
mon sense and reason, paate about re.-is
tance. For my part I cannot do it.—
Again are yon going to support a man
who as recent as 1850 tried to destroy
your noble form of governent, will you
be forced into such an pernicious absurd
position, You must recollect that the
contest is a critical and perilous one, it is
Union and disunion. /am happy to see
that there are hundreds of old Democrats
who like myself are resolved not to lei
go the good old Union helm. May the
Constitutional Union parly, who enter
linris the most ordeni desire to perpetrate
the blessings of this Union in true spirit of
llic Constitution, gather from belli their
ranks the wise and good of the land, and
bring the government to the free and hap
py policy of its great founders. If our
Fire Eating friends will leave us, let them
go and find allies where tliev can.
