Thi. is the title Of political pamphlet, forward
oil US the last week, by member of the present
Congress, With wish that we would review it
and 1t is TO comply with thS request that we
attempt to take il under consideration.
The work-ifit is entitled to such an appella
tion-or rather the gross and Infamous libel. pur-
ports to have been written by Citizen of Penpsy,-
vania. who has recently travelled through the STATE
OF New York to ms friend IN Virginia, on the sui
ject of the late General Election. The :itle pag
at the outset, gives" the lie direct" to this asser
ton ; and il will not be readily believed when 1t
added, that the printer of thi. libellous proiuctlo
sensible offs infamy as well as its alsehood care
fully avoided giving his name to The public, lest he
should suffer the pains and penalties incurred by
such proceeding.
We icel abundantly assured, that il was not writ
ten by native of Pennsy ylyana, but emanated from
the pen of some discontented and FESTIVE New
Yorker, who, disappointed in his views, has thus
attempted TO vent his spite and spleen, on the heads
OF the General Goveroment, with an expectation.
that fine could not thereby render himself noto-
rious, he could, at least crafty his feelings per-
sonal disappointment, and, safely secured behind
mantle, traduce those who had never injured him,
and whose rising greatness and virtue he looked
upon with the malicious eye of envy.
This pamphlet is evidently a "hatched-up-
thing" conceived by ID New York malcontent, who
had built his hopes on the probable event OF poti-
cal transactions, and which havsng terminated un-
tavorably TO his prospects, have filled his heart with
angrene and gall, and his g soul with Etnas re."
The production commences with an exposition OF
the character Of the political parties which pre-
sent exist in New York and having stated that that
which supports Mr.. CLINTON . the lost nume-
rous, and the most respectable in talents, character
independence anI ed cation. the writer declares,
the National Administration, and the person most
proper to preside its destinIes. Some, he re-
marks, prefer ADAMs-sone JACKsoN-and many
are opposed to both and then he pours ten thou
sand vials Of wrath Oh the head OF Mr. CLAY, ,w"om
he unceremoniously acC-ses Of having ndertaken
to control the political affairs of New YORK. to fur
ther his own views and to PROSTATE MIR. CLINTON.
But let the writer speak Tor himself
Constituted as this party is, Mr.. Clay can
have ioothold neither his char acter private
POLITICAL his public services, establish au
influence among respectable men. The purity III
opposition generally denoDinated Bucktaiis, and
claims exclusively the title OF Republican, although
some o. Its most prominent men nave heen e
most violent tederallsts IN the Union. The body OF
the party are well m aning men, but the leaders
are generally ambitious demagogu-s, s., who mean to
advance themselves by dupIns the people. Gene
rally with this party are some OF the adherens of
Clay, as Samuel Young, Peter b. Porter, John
Cramer and William b. Rochester. Although ew
IN namDer, and Insignificant Ia influence, they
like their leader, active, intriguing, iuctious, and
utterly regardless o the means they adopt ior the
entertainment u their ends.
Every person who visits the city OF w ashihston.
whether pubic duty, private business, or amuse-
ment, has remarked tine extreme anxiety OF Mi.
Clay, with respect to the state ot New York-hs
minute and ANXIOUS inquiries about men, aud their
political sympathles and anupathles, and his over
weenIng endeavOrs to make strong aud favourable
impressions Although the doors OF political ad
vaIcemeut are forever closed against HIM, and
meme iekeI Is Inscribed IN characters OF adamaut up
on hIni, yet his sansune temperament, his o, erwce
ming vanity, and unbushiny arrogance, induce
INN to believe that .ie can 10y address and artice
aud cong genial means, seat himself the presdeu-
tIal chair II not a; the expiration OF Mr.. Adams
first terul, certainly al the termination OF eight
years. Knowing that New York stands In his
way, and particularly one man IN it. and that nei-
ther the CnonIans nor the Bucktalls, are tavora-
bly, disposed to HIM, he has attemp ed TO PROSTATE
the former 10y secret intrigue, and the latter by OPP
Ell oppugnation. Last wIuter 1t Is supposed thai he
operated IN the city Of New York through some
persons who were engaged in fitting out ships ol
the belgerens, In conravention OF the rights
Of neutrality anu through hhers who were seeking
official iavors from the general government. The
Tammany committee OF New York, under this in
fueuce which was then preponierant in that party,
urged on the Bucktail members OF the legislature
nomination ior governor. Unwilling to encounter
the risk ofthis measure their leaders hestaed, and
finally, as waiver Of the question, called Buck
taii Convention, to assemble at Herkimer, in the
month of October. They by these means gained
time, and had AN opportunity OF making secret and
active preparations. During the whole interven-
iny period they utterly dsclaimed ali intention oi
Imposing Governor Clinton. His friends were iul-
led asleep by the syren voice Of simulated friend
snp and the election found them in the situation OF
undlscipl.ned militia, contending with u regular
and well appointed army. The darling object oI
the Bucktsil chiefs was to secure preponderance
IN the legislature, as many members Of Congress
as possible.
The people Of New York have already refuted
the caumnies Of this lawless desperado aud infa.
nous hbeller, who has said, that with the party
opposed to General JACKSON aud Mr.. ADAMS, Mr..
CLAY can have no foothold, and that neither his
