From The NeW York american.

Among the many, and not very gentle discussions,
to which the contest Tor the Presidential chair gives
rise, we have not yet seen much aIlusion to the
very singular fact, that in order to exporgate the
character and advance the cause of one of the mar
ties, committee of public safety has been regular
" constituted at Nashville, with funds, perfect or
sanlzaton, aud extensive correspondence, and hay
ng it solely IN charge, by certificates &c. &C. to
bolster up the reputation OF candidate for the first
Office in the world. This, certainly, is very re-
markable state oI things. In Free and, If the
boast be not put to shame by the very fact we are
commenting Upon am enlightened country-where
the people are sovereign, and where instruction is
more universally than any where else disseminated,
it is deemed eApedient and proper by candidate,
for public favour, 10 permit and encourage his per-
sonal ircnds-perhaps dependents, to form an asso-
citation, with Tie sole view to wash him white from
all offences, or where, as in every case they have
hitherto discussed--tiey cannot deny the crimes
imputed to their chieIto palliate their enormity,
and to misead, by sophiscal reasonings and dstort
ed statements, the plain judgment of plain people
to prevent the common and innate sense of RICH
and wrong, of moral people. That such are tn,
objects, and such the character of the Nashville
Committee, none will pretend to deny. But the
