llsoir creed, md wIso admire and praise the
unprincinled conduct Of she manaEers Of
the molly combination against our cons,itn-
ted authorities. Those who are friends of
tl,o administration are not the sIaUesof Mr..
ADAMS, or Of any man nor are they pre-
pared to Justify him in any measure which
is opposed to the true interest Ofthe conn
try. They are men who are opposed to
the factiOus proceedings of C0IhOtn's dis
appointed legiOn-men who, having some
regard for the constitution Of their country.
do NOT hesitate to denounce the clamor
raised against Messrs. ADAMS and CLAY as
senseless and unmanly--as causeless and
altogether unprincipled.
From the Chan,bersbwg Pa REPOSITORY
Any one acquainted with our politics and
public men will be surprised, in looking
overt the names of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton to Congress, to find among them so
many friends to the Administration of the
General Government. From the clamor
kept up and the criterion laid down by the
Jackson men, strangers would suppose that
our whole delegation to the Goth Congress
Presidency Of Gen. Jackson. tits quite
otherwise ; it will be about equally divided.
Not more than half the delegation will ex-
hibit symtons Of Jacksonism, and of these
there are but four jealous and devoted par
tisans of Gen. Jackson. The change in
the delegation is much in favourefthe Adj
ministration. A clear majority Of the new
members will take their seats in the Goth
Congress with friendly disposition toward
the Administration, and a determination to
give it liberal constitutional support.
ExTRAoRDINARY 5ELECTIoNEERING.-Th
Grand Jury for the.county of Davidson, Ten
nessee, have presented Gen. Samuel Houston,
as a suitable candidate for the GubernatOrial
Chair of that State, and thus mentions the
late duel between that gentleman and Gene
raj White
g Our Legislatures have created laws TO
prohbit-our Clergy, from the sacred desk,
have denounced-al, all have cried out, and
still cry out against the practice of Dueliing !!
Yet strange, and no less melancholy than
strange, is the fact, that let one of the great
est favourites of the people-a well tried and
faithful public servant, in whom they have
cOnfidence-but once refuse to accept a chal-
lenge, addressed ana borne to him by his e.
quail, and these very legislatures, as well as
the great body Of the people, will not only
withdraw from him all confidence and esteem,
but point at him as he passes. and say there
goes the coward" And what is still more
strange, the public require repeated and con-
tinued proofs Of fir mess and yalour. I'd
lit is not our design to become Lecturer
on moral duty. Every mind carries within
itself astandard, calculated to formsits own
rule Of acknowledging for ourselves, merely,
not for others, we venture the expression, that
in the recent events, well known to all, SO far
as they relate to General HOuston, there is
nothing to impair former conf1ence--fOr he
has not been found counting difficulties, or
wishing to embroil himself in personal con-
test. We therefore present him to our fel-
low citizens, as proper person to be voted
for, rs Gov. OF this state, without designing a
ny thing to the prejudice of any other gentle
man now presented to the consideration OF
the people"
From this it appears, that the Grand Jury
of Tennessee consider it part of their duty
to interfere in the political squabbles Of the
State; and whilst it was sheir d,ty TO pre-
sent Gen.. Houston, as guilty Of a crime,
they applaud the act, and recommend him to
the people for their suffrages.
This is the most extraordinary act, ever
performed by Grand Jury; and whilst the
Tennesseeans thus wink at the breaches of
the law, can it be supposed. that dnelling will
ever be suppressed The same men who ap-
plauded the conduct of General Houston. pre-
sented John p. Erwin. Esq. as an unsuitable
person, for the Office Of Alderman of the CITY
Of Nashville, because he was opposed to Gen.
Jackson's election to the Presidency, and pre-
ferred MIR. Adams Cadet.
