RI. Petersburg Republican, Notwithstanding
,sa,ed contradictions of the Journal, per-
..;o,slvinsists that Mr.. Adams is the author
s.s. nol;tical essays signed "PArRIcK HENRy;"
I'd contends that the delay IN publishing the
;.st numbers was occasioned>by the Pre-
.,.u,,s visit 10 the north. This Circumstance,
s.qe editor deems to be "proof as strong as
HOLY writ The Telegraph makes itself still
80 ridiculous, by pretending to believe that
5 AZ, Adams is the author, while It charges a
..r,,eman of high literary attachments, with
having received an appointment in the State
| n.,.rtment as a reward for copying the essays
c. ,be press. But Mr.. Ritchie, who is unde-
81 .;.hlv the leader Of the Gen. Jackson Editorial
Germs. says that Patrick Henry has been as
eribrd to Mr.. Adams, but, we are satisfied, with
& Out auy sort eftoundation.''
81 We ,eould easily satisfy the public that Mr..
u Richie is right, but at present we feel no in
81 cinaton to do so. 1t will be time enough known,
81 that Mr.. Adams has had no hand either in the
81 authorship Or publication of the articles in
question; and, in the mean time,the erroneous
idea started by the Jackson prints viii continne,
as il has done, to promote the usefulness Of
p.racx HENRy's labors. Many, who believe
the President to be the author, will read, when,
H otherwise, they would not perhaps trouble
themselves with the discussion; and all who do
read must be convinced, that Mr.. Calhoun has
ruined himself, if not his party.
No greater evidence could be given of the
high respect which the opposition. entertains
for the talents Of Mr.. Adams and Mr.. CLAY.
ban may be found in the facr, that every ano-
nymous production favorable tc the administra-
ton and stamped with genius and learning, is
Immediately attributed TO the pen of one or the
other Of those enlightened statesmen. But was
any body ever silly enough to charge General
!. Jackson with the authorship of an article fit to
be read; or even to believe that the official pa
pers, soaring his signature, were written by
HIMSELF
A Philadelphia Gen. Jackson meeting has no.
minated William Duane, late Editor of the Au-
rora, as candidate 10 represent the first Con-
sressional District in the twentieth Congress.
It's stated. by the Knoxville Register, that
the Governor Of Tennessee intends converting
the Legislature of that State on the 10th of next

The CharIestown Western "Virginian" of
enc 18th inst. states that John and NJ Kincade,

The Lafourche Gazette of the goth ut. SAYS,

death of General WADE HAMPTON, short time
since, in Alabama, whilst on his Way from this
place to his seat in South Carolina
The Philadelphia Gazette of Saturday eve
ming says, GA gentleman of this city requests
US 10 contradict the statement of the death of
Gen. Wade Hampton, which we copied yester-
day fro m Baltimore paper. He has letters

one of his plantations in South Carolina, as late

The Lafourche Gazette is printed in the state
Of Louisiana, west Of tae Mississippi river, and

be observed, is from South Carolina to the Esd
ultimo, and eight hundred miles from La
fourche.
