The attention of our readers will be attracted By
the character OF The debate which took place in the
House OF Repre- sentaives On the 18th May. Gtne-
al Cooke made charge against MIR. Monroe the
nature oil which is as disgrace fu as will be the catas.
uophe to the maker. We piedis; that the C0cke

for some years past, by his radical imitation OF Mr.
JeAerson's red treecheS, endeayorng to win hof-
low popularity and acquire the title OF the second

pests snd storms. His vaulting ubion' would
not then have %, sped ITSELF and he might have
avoided the alte native which now awaits him, a
dIsGracetul obsturlty OF still more disgraceiul
ennence!
1t will be observed that Mr.. Hamilton, insinuated
that gen. Cock. washinse not iree from suspicion
and fraud. This ihsInualion was founded on some
publications in a Washington paper, in which the
general is charged with having, under power Of
attorney, applied some years since to the proper
authorizes at " ashngton for the pension Of poor
soldier in Tennessee, received and pOckpted it, and
then went home and told the war WON veteran that
his claim had been rejected by the pre- sident and
secretary oil war The soldier however, applied 10
the president himself, the files were searched, and
10! the immaculate gen. (Ocks;S receipt for the
money uaS found! He then sent his son to the
man whom he had delrauded of the little pance
which his country had awarded 10 his old age for the
services OF his youth, with proposals Of acoommoda-
tlon-not because he had repented of his crime and
was anxious TO repair the wrong which he had done
but to prerent further mise! This is the man,
