TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH e. 1s25.

TIE .N,tshotHe Lefter.-The communication
which we rcpublished this day week from the
Nashville Wing, is extensively reprin;ing, and
VIII no doubt excite astonishment wherever il
Is read. The comments OF some OF the jackson
Editors on 1t, arc ridiculous enough: for instance
one IN Petersburg says, she don't believe it, n(an
assertion which he seems TO think quite sutii-
cient to settle the question: because General
jackson is known TO be SD very candid and in
gennous, that if he had entertained such designs,
he would net have concealed them from his
friends, or some such idea. Those who are dis
posed to defend him in tins quarter, take the OPP
poslte ground, AMI say that entertaining pro-
jects unlustifable, he would scrace have i'm
parted them i'm common conversations even to a
friend. We advise our friend in Petersburg TO
shit bIs ground, and take this last which is GER
tainly more plausible than the other. What
consequence is to be attached to arguments so
mutually destructive, we leave il to the reader
to determine.
The Washington Gazette, pronouu es the let
ter IN etectioneering fabrication. For what
eiectioneering purpose was it fabricated Not
To lnlure Gen. Jackson's presidential hopes GER
talnly, for the result of the election was known
in Tennessee at the date of its first publication
Had tins been the object ofthe writer, he would
probably have accommodated the time to the
object. The truth is, that the assertions of the
writer are SD probable in themselves, and so
well sustained by the evidence of time and
place, that we do not wonder at the contradic-
tory and absurd attempts of the adherents of
Gen. jackson to obviate them.
The Gazette seems to doubt whether the au
thor OF tins calumny, as it is pleased to term it,
VIII ind 1t any recommendation of him TO the
present Administration. The next day he char
ges MIR. Clay with an agency in getting il up
an inconsistency as gross as the other which we
have exposed.
The time which the writer selected for usher
ing lls disclosures before the public, strength
ems the probability OF their truth. Had he cho
sen an opportunity pending the election, and
when they could not have been investigated
before ITS decision, they might have been plau
'ibiy ascribed to electioneering purposes. But
the election Is over, and Gen. jackson has time
and opportunity at command to expose their fall
sty. Let him do So and we wish him happv
dellverance. Until he does, we shall not with
mold our credence from the charges of the au-
thor. In this course we NAV stand aone-Cor
we are not to learn that our fraternity are more
ready TO cover under Gen. Jackson's over
wheimlng popularity, than to expose his mis-
conduct TO the censure of the country But
the situation is neither novel nor disagreeablc
! to us.

FROM CUBA-LNTEREsTTNG.

Havana papers, to the 5th of the present month";
show that The public mind in tn, Island Of Cuba is
IN a state of fermentation, which will probably be
shortly brought to a crisis
The "Diaro de la Havana" Of the 5th Instant
contains decree dated the preceding day, Of Gen.
Francisco D. Wives, Captain General Of Cuba,
establishing military commission, whose duty it
is to arrest and try all persons suspected Of being
unfriendly to the King his government, or to be
parizaus Of the constitution; any person or per-
sons belonging thereto, or who may be accused Of
seduciug others to enter into any prohibited asso-
citation or society. This decree is grounded on the
royal decree Of the 18th Jan. 1924, issued by Fer
diuand, "the more effectually to preserve his do
miuious in America from the horror and ruin with
which they are mensced by the unloya spirit OF
reform" Ball. finer.

CO1IuUNTc ATFp


The attention of the citizens about the mar
ket, was on Friday morning last, arrested by
the appearance of a robust, but cornely female,
paradng on its pavement, with cowskin OF
immoderate length, in her hand and evidently
in temper to apply it with hearty good will,
TO some one, who bad provoked her ire.
% enquiry, it appeared, that, some two or
three weeks since, she had entered into an en-
gagement to be married to a certain dashing
buck Of her neighborhood, and that The preced-
ing evening had been fixed on for the consum-
nation the nUptials.
At the appointed hour the minister and guests
had assembled; an elegant and ample supper
had been prepared, and the lady herself, her face
wreathed in smiles, and her person adorned with
many frill and furbelow, impatiently awaited
the moment which was to make her bride
The moment came, and passed-hour after hour
fingered on, and finally the evening expired-but
the Bridegroom came mott
AT first, the neglected fair one bore her dis
appointment with sort OFFENSIVE gloom, or me-
ditative sullenness:--this state of feeling howe
yer, presently gave way TO anger; & this soon be-
came tenpestuous and uncontrouabe!-and in
the morning she sailed forth, prepared as We
have described, to avenge her own grievances,
in contempt Of Doctors Commons, Judge and
Jury.

Property Rising.-It is with real pleasure we
announce this pleasing truth. There have been
several sales of property lately very fair prices,
and in one instance, at as high price as in the
best of times. Fifteen hundred dollars have been
offered for lot, which few months since was
offered for seven hundred and fifty, and would not
bring it. In addition to which, "A gentleman well
acquainted with the lily, and who has taken pains
inform HIMSELF tells there are nearly one hun
bred houses now began, or for which the materials
collecting, d much greater number than there
has been before, 1T any one time, for five years
past, and this number will be greatly incre sed as
the advances: la fact, labour and every ar
ticle used lit building are advancing in price.
