fiattery Of very gross character, and consequent
" liable TO be surrounded and influenced by the
artful and unprincipled. These were the topics
Of Mr.. Benton's every day conversation with his
friends-to which he frequently added his con-
yiction, that ii Gen Jackson were elected Ere
sident, he would surround himself with bull
dogs TO bait ali who dared object to his mea-
sures. For himself, Mr.. Benton would say, as
he could not think Of legislating with brace
of pistols in his belt, he should, In the event oil
Gen. Jackson's election, resign his seat IN the
Senate, as every independent man would nave
to do, or risk his life and honor.
Mr. Benton will not deny that the sentiments,
expressed by him, are here, substantially, re-
Deated. And he did not speak OF Gen jack
son. as many men did, without personal know
ledpe of the man. He knew him WE'LL had
mingled in his associations, partook OF his ex-
elements, and been the object OF his vengeance.
From the Chilcothe Supporter
The following paragraph, extracted from that
old compound Of bold assertion, impudent ca
lnmny. and vulgar inyective-the Circular OF
the Jackson committee in ohiadelphia-is re-
published in order to put the people on their
guard against the various attempts now MAX
inc to deceive them, with respect to the state
of public opinion al a distance In this pre-
cious piece Of composition, the Representatives
-four states-Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and
Louisiana--are audaciously accused with hav
ing betrayed their trust, by giving their vote to
"Mr Adams, in favor OF whom not a single
man, Of their constituents, had, by suffrage, de-
clared himself" But, how have the people OF
those states responded TO this grave accusation?
Have they unanimously spurned the Represen
tatiyes, SO unblushingly charged with treachery
10 their constituents, from their bosom; and by
their conduct at the polls, declared them un-
worthy ftheir future confidence? By no means.
In Louisiana-the slate which is said to have
been most abused "by two of her Representa-
tives,"-a new election has taken place; and
those very Representatives, although opposed
by the whole Jackson interest have been re-
elected by handsome ajorities.-"The Repre-
sentative Of Illinois, who is also said to have
"aCted in the same Manner has met with ST.
milar fate-havlng again received new proo'
of the continued confidence of his constituents,
and not doubt exists, but the Two other'states
Missouri and Kentuckywill likewise return
administration memberships charges OF "trea
cherry and unparalleled ingratitude,' to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The truth is, that
the people have seen through the himsy veil
which concealed the objects Of the leaders of
the opposition, and have determined to take no
lot r.par. therein. They are satisfied with the
measures Of the administration; and consequent
.ly will Weld them firm and cordial support:
and it is now reduced 10 certainty, that the
opposition, erst so formidable in the art OF
specializing, will expire Shy Limitation" on the
fourth day of March next.
SIT will be remembered that IN the House OF
Representatives, the presidential election is con-
Quoted by states: that Gen JACKSON, though
far ahead Of his competitors on the return OF
the electoral ballots, there received but eight
votes that the Representatives OF Kentucky
gave their state vote TO Mr. Adams, in favor OF
whom not a single man Of their constituents
had, by suffrage, declared himself: that the re-
preventative Of Illinois unmndtul OF public
pledge, acted in the same manner: that the re-
preventative from Missouri followed In this
wake, even after the repeated and Protracted
struggles Of conscious sense OF duty: andlhat
Louisiana, whose soil had been redeemed, and
whose matrons had been shielded by the tram
scenGent heroism of JACKSON from the bar
barous pursuit of beauty and booty abused
by two of her representatives., turned upon her
preserver, and against the will of her citizens,
pierced him with the fang of unparalleled in
G ratitude. Nor can we forget that the master
spirit, by the power Of whose influence, mystic
riously exerted, these effects, so opposite to re-
publicanism, were produced, was himself IN
stanty rewarded with the office of Secretary OF
State, long an object of his ambition
At late meeting of the citizens of Oneida
County, New-Y York, the following resolutions
were adopted IfNew-York discards that abo-
minabe intriguer, Van Buren,, she will have adj
ded as much to her political interest and COM
fort, as the great Canal has to her commercial
and agricultural Importance.
ResofUed, That the attempts Of the dominant
party in the legislature Of this state to induce
belief that the state administration is hostile to
the general government, is new proof of their
Vaccinations to distract public opinion, with
the hope that they may, by sowing dissentlons
among republicans, again acquire that power
which they have forfeited by their diregard and
contempt for the rights of the people
Resolved, That we have viewed with much APP
probation, the measures pursued by the adni-
nistralions of the national and state govern
