The greatest lie that Sammy Harker has ever
told is in the Custom House Gazette Of the 9TH inst
where he says that abuse Mr.. MLane because
he is favorable 10 General Jackson in preference to
Mr.. Adams. The statement we made that the
vote OF Delaware would be given to Gen Jackson
was published for the information of the public and
the construction put upon that paragraph by MI.
Harker, is just such we might expect from the
silliest ninnyhammer. We defy the contemplate
printer of the Gazette to furnish The least proof that
we have ever abused General Jackson or, on &C.
count of their preference, spoken dsespectfuly Of
those who supported his claims to the Presidency
On the contrary, though we have always preferred.
and still prefer, Mr.. Adams, columns have
been open to the friends Of the General, who form
large portion of our subscribers. The able essays
of "A Delaware Farmer" published in the Watch
man last summer, will bear testimony to the truth
of what We say. And it is fact, which MIR. Har-
ker, regardless he is of the truth will hardly
have the boldness to deny, that communications
which were sent by the enemies Of General Jack
son, for insertion in the Waterman, and rejected
BY US, generally appeared in the Delaware Gazette
a paper which praises and abuses characters Just
as the interest of its censors dictates.

Sammy Harker has several times sworn that he
would reform, that he would no longer be black
guard, that he would no longer abuse " his neigh
bors," &c. For proof of the esteem in which
the Dominic holds an oath, see the CustomHoust
Gazette, alias Crawford Smut Machine, of the I'll
inst. Sammy feels some little shame at being com
PEELED to be the thing he u.s. and pleads necessity
He hopes 10 cxtenuate his crimes with the plea
that he is "a man more sinned against than sin.

AT the late agricultural dinner, near Baltimore,
she following toast was given:
"THE Ox-Most useful in life, at the smallest
cost, which he repays at his death"
There is, in the above toast, fund of truth which
it is matter of astonshment that our farmers have
SO long neglected; almost every farm In this and
the adjoining states, is worked by horses, which
cost grea, price, eat vast quantity, and. speed
excepted are superior to the OK, in their liie'
and Dead their skin is all that is valuable OF them
Would farmers take into consideration the actual
cost of the animals they require, hey would per
haps find none SO profitable hcrse--or at any
rate, more than one should be considered supernu-
merary and we hope that the attention OF our ag
rculturaliss will be drawn to the comparative mer
its OF the two kinds of cattle We are certain that
the will in few years be in as high favor in this
state the horse has been, which will give the no.
bic animal almost an Egyptian greatness

Ii is evident on all hands that the vote in
Virginia will be very thin. The votes of Adams
and jackson will al! be brought out. Their
strength will he nearly all told. But it is only
in those counties where there is any thing like
opposition, that the friends of Crawford will
put forth any thing like their real strength
The apparen. superiority OF Crawford's itrsugh

hs decided popularity .-Could all his friends
have bsen brought out, they would have out
numbered any, or all of the other candidates
in an immense ratio. As il il, the majority of
his votes will be overwhelming.
