Appeal 10 The Fedcraiis!s in behalf Of General
Jackson There is a print published in the State
of Delaware, called the Delaware Gazette, which
appears disposed to make up for its limited cir
cuialon BY the ,irulence Of its abuse of the pre-
sent Administration. 1t is Federal paper,
and vumuy says that an Honorable Senator from
that respectable Staie, has decided control o.
YER. If he has not pecunary interest in, the cs
adj. shG,ent. The same rumor dscribes TO his
zen, a production under the editorial head adj
dressed 20 the Eederalists Of Delaware, in the
3aDsr of thr Esd Ill, We should take grea,
pleasure in being able to contradict, upon his
authority, both these statements.
The article to winch we ailude is 4 most sim
gular composition, and deserves the serious at
ten,ion of all those who may have been deceived
into an apprehension hat the present Admins
rarion is sustained by and, in its turn, is seek
ing to uphold the great body Of the Federalists.
The piece begins by reminding the Federalists
Of Delaware Of the attachment Of the Delaware
Gazette to their interests, and its uniform devo-
ton to their cause Itproclalms "the immense
importance" that The power in that State should
be preserved in Federal hands. II recommends
the Federal party" to preserve our ranks FIRM
and unbroken," and says:-"Ve should consi-
der ourselves as an indivlsible band which
i" is united by ties of principle, of dn,y,and Of
" honor; and Indignantly frown upon every man,
" or set Of men, by whom any attempt may
I" be made to SOW discord among Us und er
any specious pretexts whatever."-Haying
commenced with proposing this indssolubl'
union OF The Federal party for the ostensi-
BILE purpose Of right government in Delaware,
the writer soon after glides from the nomi-
nal to the real object; that is, the Presidential
election-and draws comparison between Mr..
Adams and Gen. Jackson. Mr.. Adams is al
legged to be some of the most deadly enemies
which Federalism has ever had 10 contend
with" "Federalists as such can hope for no.
thing better from him than the most unre-
lenling resentment" "Who can read his a.
&c buse and SANDER of such men as Hamilton, Of
Ames, Of Pickering, and other distinguished
members of the Federal party, whom il is our
"pride and boast to number among the sup
"porters of our principles, without an honest
and patriotic feeling Of resentment" "His
" cabinetis composed Of motley band of dis.

The desire of knowledge seems to be natural to the

| have seen in the New-York Evening Post Of the
9th inst. paragraph extracted from the Philadelphia
Palladium Of the 9th, alleging in express TERMS that
in the winter of l824-5, pending the Presidential
election, had conversations with MIR. Webster and
MIR. Adams on the consideration which the federal
party would have in the distribution OF the govern
ment Offices, if Mr.. A. should be made President
and that letter was written by me to Mr.. Webster
on the subject, the result oia conversation with MIR.

Every part of these allegations gross fabrication,

aRd the second TO show that no dependence can Lc
placed upon any Of their;assertions.
Since writing the above we have received the Hart
ford Times the I'D inst which says Mr. Bailey has
promptly denied any participation in the transaction
mentioned in our las" and, Eve suspect there was
some mistake respecting him" although the story is
reiterated true. Ifthere be not meanness as well
as infamous depravty in such conduct, we beg to
know shat can be called by such names. Mr.. Bailey
is spoken Of as the principal agent in the transaction
he promptly denies the charge: the degraded enemies
of our republican government say "we suspect Mr.
Baiy had no connection with that bargain" although
the whole story is true and be proved to be thus
So was the story about Mr.. Buchanan's offering the
presidency to Jackson, if he would make Mr.. Clay

position. If such be the sentiments of the "republi-
cans of Connecticut the Times asserts, Heaven
deliver from all participation in their councils or
concerns. Call us federal Mr.. VI ells;-caIl us any

attached the ntamy which should forever belong to
politicians ofyour stamp. But the republicans of Con-
nectCut mot that degraded which will reject
truth and embrace falsehood, simply. because the
Times tells them do thus. They will exercise their
upon such as this; and if they are one

knowed that he had nothing to do with the concern &
yet claim that the original story is true they will de-
spse both the inventor and the propagators of such

without hesitation, the forgery being remarkably well
executed. Payment was made in part with bill
for $4,000 which was afterwards changed for smaller
bills in the United State Branch Bans, and some of
these again changed at other Banks. UP to last
