we did hope, that paper, which has been
so warm an advocate of Mr.. Clay, and had
been devoted TO the service of the Central Com.

dignity, and dclicacy. 1t seems, however, that
the assertions of the National Republican, as to
Mr.. .ldans, have been confrned-and that
Mr.. Hayward and Mr.. 0nstcad have come to
the conclusion, that British gold and British in
iluencc are DOW cXerted in his favor. From
such men, under such circumstances we have
nothing to fear; as we verify believe, that edi-

ungenerous insnuations, could be easily silen-

which will permit compromise with honor or

ReJbcry.-.A gentleman in the vicinity of the
transaction has politely furnished us with the
following particulars of a robbery which took
place IN Stephentown, few days since:
On tlie night of the Goth August, one of the
most internal transactions took place in Ste
P'ientowD, IN this county, chat perhaps has bee,
heard OF within the memory Of our Oldest in
hahltants IN that quarter. The house OF Mr..
1rIswoid DenIston, a worthy inhabitant of that
town. was entered by three ruiiians. who order
cd him to give them something to drink and they
then proceeded to demand bis money; the sum
OF about eighty dollars was delivered, the rob-
bcrs not satisfied with tliat demanded more,
struck hirn on the breast and across the face and
injured lain severely Previous 10 this Mrs.
Deniston had succeeded in waking the hired
man, who slept in the house, who on entering
the room was fired at by one of the gang and
thrown INTO the bed where Mr.. Dcuistown, was,
bnt afterwards taken and kicked under the bed.
The robbers not getting as much money as they
expected, perhaps, was the reason of the last
violence committed on Mr.. Deniston. In the
mean time Mrs. Deniston had succeeded in
rauyIng some of the Deigbbors. MIR. Depiston
on the condition his life was spared him, had
been forced to get upon bis knees and kiss the
bible and swear not TO make complaint in 19
hours. The greatest exertions have been made
