TO DUFF GREEN, ESQ.

s1n-Your nstrumentalty in concentrating the Goa.
Etion between Senator Benton and Gen. Jackson well
known; the time has arrived when the means by
which you operated upon Senator Benton should be
disclosed.
The relation which you now bear to the Opposition,
iustifes the manner in which the following questions
are propsunded:
Did you, pending the election, write an answer to
letter enquiring what General Jackson would do for
Senator Benton, provided he was elected President;
and having written it. did you before sending it to
correspondent submit it to Gen Jackson fornspectionl
Did Gen Jackson, in his own hand writing, correct
your answer
Did you show that letter, thus corrected, to mem
bers of the House, particularly to Mr. Scott of Nilsson
ri to satisfy them that they ought to vote for General
Jackson
'we are fully that to some questions, silence
is the best answer; and notify you, that should
you adopt that course, shall take the facts charged
as admitted"
Questions Of this kind, shew the incendiary
means which may be taken to cast suspicion
upon any man, no matter how pure or how Ell.
evated-bu, they are worthy Of such unprinci-
pied politicians as Duff Green, Mcfarland,
Dawson, and their Deputies.

CONVENTION:


The Convention bill has progressed to en-
erossment, and it is thought will this day, be
finally disposed Of Mr. Giles, whose expected
discussion of this great question has drawn for
the two last days, multitudes to the lobby, it is
known, if his health permit, will take the floor
TO day. His speech will doubtless be worthy
Of his fame; and the state of his health, the at
titude in which he has stood for some time to
the public, and the idea that this may be the
last occasion ON which this celebrated debater
will have an opportunity Of exhibiting his pow
ers, have thrown great interest into public ex-
pectation,
But whatever his speech may be, it is too
late in the day to make converts. Men are
100 deeply pledged and committed now to
change. We regret 10 say that the presages
are against the passage ofthe bill. The change
Of the Caroline delegates, al first in favor Of it,
has lett the majority with the anti-convention-
lists The State is for another IL months, to be
exposed to the agita.ions s. dissentions of this
unsettled questionable people are again to
be told in effect, that they are not fit to be trust
ed with the decision Of the question. Another in
stance is to be given TO the world, Of the tenaci-
,y with which men cling to power But this de-
cision is not final; the day must come, when the
minority will be compelled to respect the mod
est demands of the majority, for such we are
authorised TO believe the friends Of Conven-
ton to be, from the dread which the anti.
conven,ionists manifest at referring the sub
ject to the people. The tens of thousands
disfranchised citizens in Virginia, will, in
time, have their rights respected-they will
demand and accomplish the purposeof be-
ing put on the footing Of freemen. Reform,
is never accomplished at once-the bull
warks of political abuse and injustice yield on
~ TO time, to perseverance and to courage
The people will prevail a, last, if they deter
mine 10 prevail. 1t is not one defeat, or two
defeats, that can bend the friends Of Convention,
with the rights Of man and the principles Of re-
publican liberty on their side, TO the arbitrary
and unjust Withholding Of their privileges
They will rise like Aniaus, refreshed by the fall
they will prove the truth Of the stoical maxim,
that it is more honorable to rise superior TO a
fall than never to have fallen. The only differ
ence will be this-,ha, Convention early grant
ed to the wishes Of the people, would have been
entered with feelings Of harmony and forbear-
ance-extorted from reluctant minority, these
feelings will he superseded by strong politi-
cal resentment and excitement. The world will
know how 10 decide to whom these conse.
quences ought to attach-to them who have
humbly and modes,ly asked, or to them who
have proudly and insuungly rejected.
