Gle other day charge Of corruption against the
President Of the United States. put forth last win
ter by the United state, Telegraph, and now re-
y,ed With much form and soemnity By the n. y
Evening Post. and Other papers equally distinguish
cd bv their unhlushing scurrty. The charge. when
stripped Of the pompou- and particularly clrcum
stantial verbiage in which it was clothed, was SIM
ply this - That Mr.. Webster was originally up
posed to the election of Mr.. Adams, and that Mr..
A was ONLY enabled to procure hrs support, and
gam his election, by an intrigue conducted by Mr..
Bailey. and certain pledges TO Mr.. w. which Mr..
a. was compelled to gi,ein writing The charge.

There are, doubtless, even at this late da,, some

Ter plohi.acs Of the Evening Post. and who are
not appraised If the deep and settled magnity To-

contemporary, to state upon the highest authority
CTHAT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE Uni
TED STATES HIMSELF that this story. b
vhomsoever told. and by whomsoever vouched for
Is utterly and In all respects untrn>. and nithou
the slightest foundation Now what will the pub
lie ought they-to think OF such base caum
niators as the inventors and propaeatnrs of this
foul SANDER What measure Of punishment OF
what weight Of public indignation can be too great
for those who thus prostitute that noble engine
THE PRESS to crafty the unchastened ambition
Of some, and the diaboIica maIignity Of others
It i, possible that the authors of this outrage upor
Che chief magistrate OF the nation, may seem Il
make atonement, BY a late contradiction Of the
story. But the effect Of public SANDER cannot
be eradlcated in this way and the authors know
and exut in it. The poison circuIates, though tn,
barb be extracted. And we predict that shoul,
the Post attempt a reluctant correction Of the cal
nmny. il will be done in a manner studied to say,
appearances; and at the same time leave the i'm
PRECISION that the story is ertheess true. TN,
licentiousnes, of the Press at the present day i
