MIR. Jefferlon and Mr.. Madiion had leen
the greater part Of it, before it was pub
iiihed. Mr.. JeTerfon aliiited the author
with materials. Untolicired, and uuex-
pected, he fent Calender fifty dollars,
and aiilred him that fuch publications
eoala not fail Of dang gaod. MIR. Madilon
gave the author ioe- for fifteen copies.
The Py9ipset very plltly terms John
Adams the murderer Of Jonathan Rob-
bins. Mr.. Madilon expreifed particu-
lar iatisfaction at the recital of che pat
fage that contains this epithee. IF either
he, or the prefdent had hinred a diftike
TO any part of rhe book, the leaf would
have been cancelled before publication.
George Hay hi;nlelf has ipoke oft, in
ihe highe9 terms.
Republicans! Attend to the con-
iittcncy of this man he arraigns the
Prelident, Madiion, genctal Maloh,
and your whole body, as the patrons CT
z nan Gaadsy0ms hbsl In other words,
he pronounces you, and your leaders TO
be altogerher, worthless; for the patrons
Of caluruniator are always ar leait as
badas hin1ftlf. This is the way in which
Hay treats the Republican party a par
rv to which, heowes rhe petty, and De
clininct coniequencc which he p9f1eSes
in life. Behold the creature that prattlcs

Pichmond, in 1899. This has already

accufation was never advanced agaihit
Calender before. L was fuch as might

a Jingle week, than in Dublin, in rhoie
two months. In Ireland, If a man COM
hits robbery, or murder, he runs the
chance OF being hanged for it. But IN
this free country, Hay well knew be-
