MONDAY MORNING, APRIL "a, 1926.
The opposition prints continue to reiIerate
the refuted assertion Of the "Telegraph," that
Mr.. Dickerson has contradicted our statement
relative to the Vice Presidents partial and
disgraceiul conduct in the Senate.
We appeal 10 the candor of such papers, il
they have any, to say whether we have not sup
ported our charge against Mr.. Calhoun. Why
was the Telegraph Of Friday anG Saturday as
silent as death on the subject? Saturday was
the day agreed upon to reply TO US, but the task
being difficult one-more time was required
Mr.. Eaton and Mr.. McDufie probably availed
themselves of Sunday, AMI will give US their de-
fence this evening.
The National Gazette, and Freeman's Jour
nal give as a rumor, which prevailed in Phlia-
delphia on Thursday last, that Colonel BURR
had proceeded to Washington, with the inten-
ton Of calling Mr.. Randolph to account, for
having termed him scoundrel in one OF his
speeches in the Senate.
1T the same time, that we do not believe the
story, We should not deprecate meeting be-
tween such men. They arc equals, and could
adjust their disputes without any eventual loss 10
their country. Alike the leaders of factions and
the revilers Of Jefferson osfes hanani geaeris,
and monuments of great talents devoted 10 their
country's ruin; tie world would look upon their
mortal struggles with as much Indifference, as
the devotees Of sport upon well contested
cockGgh,-Faciaas q1Os a.qnaat, Tquat.
The Newly ork Mercantile Advertiser states
that Commodore Porter and Mr.. Law are about
to sail from that port to Vera Cruz, in Mexico,
in an elegant brig of 600 tons, under the COM
mand Of Capt. d. II. Porter. The vessel is
said 10 be pierced for twenty-five guns-is
built entirely Of live oakland will suffer in
comparison with none that ever left the port
The Boston papers, with unanimous scnti-
ment cG appreciation, announce meeting TO be
held at Fancuil Hall for the purpose Of taking
Into consideration the expediency Of raising
funds for the relief of the venerable Thomas
Jefferson. The course intended to be pursued,
isto purchase up the tickets in Mr. Us lottery,
and thereby to prevent the author Of the i'm
mortal Declaration ofIndcpendence from being
bereft, in his old age, Of his patrmonial estates.
The Editors ofthc New.York American have
received, by the last packet from Havre, the
4 - L.
iishcd in Paris, by VI. Charles de Lasteyrie SON
in-law Of General Lafayette The first number
was TO appear on the first Of this month. 1t is
called the "Journal' Of Ordinary and PracIical
knowledge" and purports to be "col!ection Of
the notions immediately useful to the wants and
10 the enioyments of all classes of society, stat
ed in a manner to be Ineligible TO every under
standing" NJ Las,cyrie is 10 be assisted in
his work by other men Of talents, and the pro-
ceeds are, we believe, destined 10 the relief OF
some charitable Institution.
The connection of the editors with La Fay
et,o. the object Of the work, and the utility
and corprchensiveness OF its plan, Will, 1t is
presumed interest many persons in this country
in It's success
We should be glad to sec the prospectus
published, doubling not that many subscribers
would be Obtained thereby.
4 gentleman Of our acquaintance, who is
occasionally fond Of indulging in pun, re-

Having Witnessed the scene alluded to, we COR
Nallv coincide with the punster
