From the RECORDER.

, An the world remembers the story Of
the pasteboard tender in payment Of a
sum ofmoney, which Thomas Jefferson
made to Gabriel Jones. The oldgentle-
man having seen the Recorder, deter,
mined to give our narrative the seal Of his
authority. He has transmitted manu-.
seriptto Richmond, which appeared in
the Virginia Gazette Of Tuesday. He
therein explains all the circumstances of
:averice, Of ingratitude, and baseness,
which, in the course of this transaction,
distinguished and disgraced the charac-s
ter Of Thomas Jefferson. We had, not
long since, challenged and deied his en-.
eepency, to meetuso on this charge In .
court Of justice, and in a suit for defa-
nation. The certificate Of the honest
Wehhman, who is now eighty one years
of age, win s,ipersede allEntnre occnsion
nor language OF this kline. See norp
syhefher the Reccvdtr selS Res. u.
Mr.. Jefferson has lately found himself
under the deplorable necessity Of writing
fresh letter to Mr.. Walker, with ano-
Their peceaoimLs. This ism consequence
Of the racket, which the Recorder has
raised about the affair. What would
this unfortunate figure give TO recall the
moment, when he refused to pay callen.
derhis fine! Chastisement was promi.
sed and the promise has been kept
with the most rigid punetuality. Il
seems that Gen. Henry Lee was the
bearer of q challenge from Mr.. Walker
to our beloved President. For very
good reasons, the qualifications Of the do:
cnments has for some time been sus.
pended, but they win appear ii due

it has originated from private quarrels
