FOR THE PHENIx GAZETTE.
A SUBSCRIBER.

Msssrs. Editors: Your paper has found its way
into one of the by-corners Of Virginia, where
Mr.. Jackson seems to have, as we express 1t,
good many friends, and, ofcourse, Mr.. Adams
must have a good many enemies. Mr.. Adams
has never done any thing right, and MIR. Jack
son has never done any thing wrong, IN the esti-
nation of majority of the good people occu-
pying this corner There are, however, few
investigating spirits among US, who do not look
directly and exclusively at Mr.. Adams or MIR
Jackson: there is something else they are dis
posed TO look upon.-We have more exclusive
" fixed our eyes on the Congress Of the United
States.-We are not satisfied with the course
pursued last winter, either i'll the Senate or the
House of Representatives, II was agreed on
both sides Of both Houses, that there was some
thing in contemplation in South America, which
demanded the attention OF our Government; and
this being the fact, why then were those obsta-
eles thrown, by both Houses, in the way of the
proper department? We are delighted with
cordial patriotic debating, but we feel inimical
to that angry factional debating, which Pervaded
both Houses last winter We have now read
goodly number of congressional speeches, and,
YOU will suppose, are prepared to commence
investigation, among ourselves, and in our own
way. This is the fact: we are determined to
investigate. The National Intelligencer has
given data, and We now ask for all the lights
which can be given, that We may investigate
correctly; and as darkness makes light more vi
sible, we have among US the U. S. Telegraph.
This we deemed not only proper but necessary
in the progress Of our Investigations. We are
not man ,corshiping politicians but can assure
YOU we have considerable number Of that des-
cription of citizens among us.-We however
take the liberty ofrehecting or measures, with
out consulting the prejudices of these worship
ers Of man. 1t is measures, and measures alone
which we shall investigate. The measures Of
the man will constitute the criterion by which
we shall judge Ofthe capacity and disposition of
those who may at any time ask our suffrases
We shall certainly enquire what men have done;
but we shall more particularly enquire what
they are now disposed to do. The preiudices
of the majority here, are most certainly against
the present incumbent; and the cry of corrup-
ton, management, bargain and sale, has made
impressions which will not be easily removed
However we do not despair. There is an old
proverb we have often heard repeated, "that
the greatest rouges always make the loudest
outcry" This is now the subject of inresiiga-
ton among US. They have got the vantage
ground it is true: they took the start, and made
the outcry before we even thought of roguery
on either side. We know Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay as statesmen; but we do not know MIR.
Jackson nor Mr. McDpfie in that character

There are two modes in which this acid is used, with
perhaps equal success One Isl to mix It with the pic

not II should be suffered remain three four weeks
and then taken out and hung up in any convenient
place to dry.
The other mode, is simply to battle overa piece OF
meat with the acid once, twice, three or four tunes
according to its size. In either mode, the quantity -
acid necessary will be about the same. ~. ;Sl.E

all contained in their books orin the records OF
