any occasion should have required an applica-
ton TO the personsl friends and neghboIs OF Gen.
jackson, for Information and evidence to be used
in defence of his private character, and that of his
arniabe aud virtuous vile Ii was not anticipated,
that either persons al political hostility would
have been carried far by those who support the
ELECTION of Mr. Adams, to asssil the pyioofe
character of their opposing Candidate, and invade
the sanctuary OF his domestic peace, for mere
lectioreer Ing or parry purposes But IN this we
have been disappointed. Some OF the public jour
nal. employed 10 publish the laws CT the Union,
and which are supposed 10 tie under the influence
of the President aud Secretary OF State, have been
so far prostituted the worst purposes of faction,
as 10 attack The private character OF Gen. Jackson
and that OF the partner OF his lite, as the means of
securing the reelection of his competitor. We
nave no fears, that course OF conduct dlshono-
rsbie and SO degrading 10 the country, however
higb In olh0e may be those who have authorized
and countenanced il, can diminish the popularity
of that distinguished Hero and Patriot, 1t was IN
tended to njuTe, In the least, impair that respect
and gratitude which he has universally inspired
in the breasts of his counrymen:-we have no
fears that Mr.. Adams again obtain the Presi-
dency, the ruiaS Of CENTRAL JiCh-
SON s. reputation. But something Is due TO he
character - whose fame has become he moral pro-
pvrty OF the naiion;'' and it is The brightest
Of which nation can boast, SO it Is duty &c
iransmt it unsullled by calunlny, for example and
Tor glory, to succeeding generations.
We have, therefore, taken the liberty of calling
your attention editorial article, published in
the Liberty HGiS and Cincinnati Gazette OF the
25i ul,. in WHICH the following has been
made by Charles Hammond, the 0cknOtOieds ed
friend and confidential correspondent; OF Mr.. Clay:
--'' In The S,t1IHer IF 1890, Gen. Jackson pre-
uaiied upon the ,cife Of .ifr. Le,oiS Roberts Of
Mercer County, Ks,it"cky, TO desert her has
band and Ire tcith himself in the character Of
q trJe." Although we dc not consider the source
IRON which this charge has emanated entitled to
the respectful consideration OF The public, and, al
though, the allegation is altogether unsupported By
provt, yet as the paper IN which 1t has been pub
lished, may ind It's way the different sections OF
the Union, and the article itself be copied into
more respectable journ ais; it is submitted to your
consideration, whether notice OF il shall not
be taken, by those personal and political friends Vt
General Jackson, who have been intimately ac-
quanted with his conduct in life for the last 81
years. If it should be your opinion, as is ours,
that -owe notice should be taken of this impuis-
ton upon the private characters of Gen. jackson
and his wife, however false sclndqions, aud i'm
probable it may be; would earnestly request
you TO furnish US with such information and dccu
mentory evidence, the SUI jsci Is may be in your
power.
Very respectfully yours,

! PUBLIc OrINIoH. Efforts have been made
in many OF the states, and particularly in The W es-
tern ones, TO impress a belief, that there have
been great changes in publc opinion, in Pennsyl-
vania, on he presiIen ial question Il has been
SAID that the electoral Of this state is doubt
iul; and some have venture { TO assert that i
will so for Mr.. Adams On what data lhese as.
! sertoas are founded, we confess we are utterly al
! a loss TO discover. The evidence, as il presents
itself 10 us, from all quarters of the state would
| lead to a directly contrary conclusion That the
whole electoral vote OF this state will again 90
1 for General Jackson, by an Overwhelming maiori-
! -, iswe believe certain If tho event had nc
| tusliy taken place. The ranks OF his friends re-
main unb okea; and he appears einpha;ically to be
The popular candidate.
For the county of allegheny, we can, from tht
information we have received, speak positively -

our Country friends together, and afforded good
opportunities for obtaining knowledge If tbs
public sentiment They have afforded The most
satisfactory evidence, that the man who has fill

OF his fellow-cit!zens One fact we are request ed
to mention. Maj Andrew M'Earland had hi.

neighbours That gentleman, who is claimed b,,
the Administration party, as Adams man was
himself present on the occasion. Phis circum
stance Is mentioned to snow, that the current nj
public opinion Is setting strongly in favour of Gen.
Jackson, and ihat no man, however, elevated his
station, even II he were inclined to d. So can ~,
rest its course. Accounts from other to,ynsbi,,s
give indications Of similar feelings.
