far, IT least, as Mr.. Clay is concerned, 1t is
necessary; for If mistake not he will tind in his
own recollection, an index, which will point, un-
errngly, TO the name of one Individual least. A
gentleman, who Was in habits of intimacy with MIR.
Clay, called successfully, on two friends of Gen.
jackson, and told them that an intrigue was going
on---that some OF the friends of MIR. Adams were
making oyer,ures 10 Clay 5 friends 10 this effect,
that If the latter would aid in electing Mr. Adams,
Clay should be made Secretary of State, and that
he thought Jacksons cause TO be in great danger.
UNLESS HE WOULD CONSENT TO FIGHT THEM
WITH THEIR OWN WEAPONS. He further re-
marked, that Adams friends, an argument TO
induce the friends of Clay accede to the propo-
sition, were urging that If Gen. jackson cleo
ted, Adams would be continued as Secretary OF
State and Clay be left out OF the cabinet. He said
that II was only necessary that jackson should
give an assurance that Mr. Adams would no. be
retained as Secretary of State.
g One oftie gentlemen to whom this conrnunica-
ton was made, remarked, that he could scarcely
believe it to be fact; the reply g hno,o IL 10
De fact, and / repeat it; it IS necessary for the
friends OF Jackson TO fight them with their own
weapons" Both of Jackson's friends refused 10
confer with him on the subject; they SAID they Were
determined to rest the General's cause on the
ground OF principle; that they would make no pro-
misses, give no pledges, and that they did not believe
that jackson had disclosed, or would disclose his
ulterior views in relation to the formation OF his
cabinet, in the event OF his election. The gentleman
then called On,gen Jackson himself and held such
language as 10 induce the general reply. tell

Some time after his marriage, this

negro, with whom he was displeased.
The bad conduct of the slave obliged
his new master to part with him to a
third, who equally discontinued with
his bargain sent him to Jamaica, where
the how-hide soon rendered him more
reasonable and docile. Here, calling
to mind the kindness of his first mas
ter, he wrote him letter in which he
painted lively picture of his unhap-
piness and repentance. Such was
the effect it had upon the heart Of Warn.

regretting that he had been the cause Of
this mans calamity, repurchased him,
brought him to Philadelphia and gave
him his liberty.

From Crabs Synonymeal

ERROR, MISTAKE, BLUNDER.
Error, in French erreur, Latin error,
from erro to wander, marks the act Of
wandering, as applied the rational fac
ulty. A mistake is taking amiss or
wrong.
Blunder is not improbably changed
from blind, signifying the thing done
blindly.
Error in its universal sense is the
general term, since every deviation
from what is right in rational agents is
termed error, which is strictly opposed
to truth: error is the lot of humanity;
into whatever we attempt to do or
think, error will be sure to creep; the
term, therefore, is Of unlimited use; the
very mention Of which reminds us Of
our condition; we have errors of judg.
ment; errors Of calculation errors Of
the head; and errors Of the heart. The
other terms designate modes Of error
which mostly refer to the common
concerns Of life; mistake is an error Of
choice; bhtnder an error of action;
children and careless people are most
apt to make mistakes: Ignorant, con-
ceited, and stupid people, commonly
commit blunders; a mistake must be
i Gifted in commercial transactions
it NY be of serious consequence; a
blufad.r must be set right; but 6htndey.
ers are not always to be set right; and
plumbers are frequently so ridiculous as
only to call for laughter.
Idolatry may be looked upon as an error arr
sing from mistaken devotion.
ApDIsos.
It happened that the king himself passed
through the gallery during the debate, and
smiling at the mistake of the dervice asked
him how he could possibly be so duh as not b
distinguish palace from carayansary.
ADDISON.
Pope allows that Dennis had detected one Of
those plumbers which are called bulls.

A Nolcano.-A ship which arrived at
Marseilles, in fortnight from the Ca

moment till the 22d of September, 1t
