present instance. was induced TO depart from my
general practice. was already acquainted with
Mr.. Hal kers sentiments, in reference to the admin
istration-snd, confess, felt somewhat curious to
learn what neU subject Of abuse he could invent,
wherewith to charge them. He. had exhausted, it
appeared to me, every term OF reproach in the Ian
guage, and doubled whether malice itself could
supply him with more. Commencing with the
President, he had successfully passed in review be-
fore him, every member of the Cabinet-and they
etogupnt vituperation. Mr.. adams, had been
charged with bribery and corruption--high toned
monarchical principles, and an overweenng desire
OF sell ACKNOWLEDGEMENT = Mr.. Southcsd, with ruin
ing the Navy. by unheard Of oppression ;-and
poor Mr.. Barbour, with wiring bad English. Nor
did Mr.. Clay escape this general prescription !;
his fame had been violently assaed, and he was de-
nounced Tor every thing that either vile or
odious. But it seems that the measure OF his ini-
quites was not yet filed. Mr.. Harker has, at
length, discovered that he is ungrateful-and it is
for this offence, that Mr.. Clay has again fallen un-
der his indignant apprehension. But TO whom, do
you suppose, Messrs. Editors, that he has been
guilty of this ingratitudep You will, doubtless,
think me joking but, assure you that am not,
when say. that i. has been TO Mr.. Harder himself.

have noticed communication in several of the public
papers, stating that the Market in Philadelphia had extend
ed along Second and Market Streets to the extraordinary
length Of miles, and although this sufficiently evidences
plentiful supply Of the comforts of life, yet may be
permitted to compare small things with great, would
observe that we have had markets in our little Borough
of rather greater extent for the size Of the place More
than it has extended from about half way between
Broad and Hanover within short distance Of Second

multiplied by "a, (he relative proportion between the two
places,) would make little short of miles.
The writer of this article perfectly well recollects con.
versation between himself and John Jackson, ancient
man, living that time in Kennet Township who stat ed
that he had stood in the market of this place with four
quarters of sheep, which the whole of the market
ting offered for sale that day. But he did also state
that the day was remarkably stormy. And within one

Yes Sirs, 10 Mr.. Harker who with profuseness
unparalleled, has covered him with every epi,het
that was hateful: Who has called him political
knave, and Congressional monntebank--a gambler
and black-leg---a traitor and sycophant. And yet.
notwithstanding all these marks of blindness, Mr..
Clay, with an ingrattude rank I" that it smells to
heaven,o has withheld from him the patronage Of
his Office In plain terms, the Secretary has been
so unprincipted, as 10 give the printing of the U.
States Laws to some other papcr-to persons who
have never done him the fnror to abuse him. This
is really The true state of the case. Mr.. Harkef
does no longer publish the Laws !" by .futhority"
and therefore, Mr. Clay stands convicted Of vile in
gratitude. What strange creature this MIR. Sec
rotary must be! How absolutely lost to every thing
that is noble or generous! How entirely dead to
sI the feelings that actuate his fellow men The
great mass OF mankind following the strict
morality of the Gospel, love their enemes-but Mr..
Clay has net yet reached that point OF perfection
he prefers his friends. And what is singular,
he even prefers those who are neutral, 10 those
who ctamorously ritify him.
MIR. Harker, who is the victim Of this unnatural
conduct, really deserves to be pited. He has been
labering for nearly year, TO recommend himself
to the favor OF the Government, by persuading the
people that they were ruled by set of miscreant
scoandrels- and now forsooth, the first opportunity
that occurs to befriend him, is neglected. Poor
man, how little could he have anticipated such re-
turn How little could he have thought, while draw
ing up his bills of Indictment that such requital
was in store for him For myself should have
sympaihzed with him great deal more, had not
discovered in the very piece which has given Use to
these remarks, species OF ingratitude on his own
part, that far exceeds that OF Mr.. Clay. alude
to his attack upon that old veteran John Binns. II
cannot have escaped you, Messrs Editors, that pre-
vious to the late Presidential controversy, Mr. Har-
ker and Mr.. Binns, we're hail fellow we'll met"
They both espouscd the same cause, were both
equally in love with Mr.. Crawford and the Caucus,
and think may safely say kept "pari passu' in
their abuse of the administration that has succeeded.
And yet, notwithstanding this good fellowship, be-
cause Mr.. Binns has the printing of the Laws, MIR.
Haiker becomes envious, turns short round upon
his old colleague, and wants to show chat kind
Of mdn' this Binns is, whom Mr.. Clay is willing
to patronise. Fic 6e MIR. Harker, this is indeed

ter can treat your friends so how can you ask Of
Mr.. Clay to treat his enemies better?
