From the Nui;;onal hnfelYsace,.

The Virginia Palladium, and another paper,
have undertake. to draw differences from our
silence on the subject Of Gen. JAcKsoN's Letter,
which they are not warranted in doing. We
are no, the champions Of Mr.. CLAY-we have
sometimes differed from him in opinion, and
sometimes disllked his political movements
but we have that confidence inf the elevation Of
his sentiments, and his disdain Of mcanness or
eQuivocation, that we would not give credence
to much stronger testimony, than is furnished
by the Letter Of Gen Jackson, against the pu-
riIy Of his conduct in the Presidential Election.
We have no doubt that the facts, which Cen
JACKSON states Of his oscn knowledge, are indis
pu,ably true. But we utterly disbelieye in MIR.
CLAY's having authorized any such overtures as
he speaks of. We do not believe that he would
have acce pied the Office OF Secretary Of State
Under Gen. JACKSON. We do NOT believe that
he could, without disgrace, personal and polit
ical, have voted for Gen. JACKSON for the Pres
idency, with his recorded opinions respecting
him staring him in the face. We did not say
all this in publishing Gen. Jackson's Letter, be-
cause we were perfectly willing it should SO TO
the world unattended by our comments; and be-
cause, whilst we felt no obligation 10 volun-
teer a defence Of Mr.. CLAY, we were entirely
convinced that he was not only able, but will
ling, TO defend himself against any such charg-
es as those, brought forward by whomsoever.
We therefore protest against any differences
being drawn from our silence i'll reference to this
subject, or to any other. We sometimes find
it our duty to be silent, and we inflict pain up
on ourselves in RETAINING to speak our minds,
when every feeling of nature is reused against
unmerited injury to ourselves or others.

PRESIDENTIAL. ELECTION.-No. VIII.
In our previous numbers we have shown the
perfect consistency OF Mr.. Adams ANA his re-
publican conduct during the three first years OF
his holding his seat in the National Senate. We
shall row exhibit his conduct for the two sub
scuuent years twill be seen that in those
years he was the right arm OF the adminlstra-
ton, and that the part he took in its favor was
as conspicuous as tina, of the Prime Minister in
the Parliament Of Great Britain.
Fourth Session, 1906 I.
At,his session Mr. Adams was chairman Of
the committee 10 which all bills, resolutions, a
mendments and motions were commited-He
was also chairman Of the Library committee
He was also chairman Of the Judiciary commit
tee-He was on the committees in relation 10
the Army-Public Debt-lntercoursc with ST..
Dominpo-Fire at Portsmouth-On Weights
and Measures, and on many others. he lore
going were all important committees, but those
that follow evince in a strong degree the comb
dence that was placed in him by Mr.. Jefferson's
friends in the Sc nate, and in these measures, he
acted generally in opposition to the federal
members OF the senate. He was OH the COM
mi,tee in relation 10 Burr's consplracy-He
was on the committee on the Presidents mes
sage in relation 10 that conspiracy, winch re-
ported on the day Of the reception OF the mes
sage, bill TO suspend the Habeas Corpus,
which passed through the senate the same day.
He was on committee in relation 10 burr's
associates. A. this session he acted with the
republican in opposition to the federal senator's
on a call on the President, in relation to the
non-intercourse This is all the evidence shall
7 alduce from the doings Of this session, OF his
| uniformity and consistency of conduct, and II
we know any thing of the weight OF evidence
this will be considered plenary
| We shall digress in small degree from the
present subject Of these papers TO introduce IN
chronological order some important incidents
of ;his session. II was at this session that Hen
ry Clay, the steady and consistent champion OF
the American policy, first took his seat in The
National Senate. 1t was also at this session that
the first systematic step was taken to introduce
internal improvements. On the 2lst OF FEB

| ruary, 1907, Mr.. Adams moved the following
| resolutions:
hesoived, That the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry be directed to prepare and report to the Sc
nate at their next session plan for the applica-
ton of such means as are constitutionally with
in the power of Congress, to the purpose of O.
pening roads, for removing distractions in riv-
ers. and making canals, together with state.
ment 9th undertakings of that nature now
existing within the United States, which as
objects of public Improvement may require
and deserve the aid of government.
This resolution did not Immediately pass, but
under different modification was adopted pre-
vious to the termination Of that session, and
produced the celebrated report Of Mr.. Gallatin,
which has laid the basis of system that bids
fair TO bind together aud strengthen our Union.
At the close Of the subsequent: session Mr..
Gallatin made his elaborate report. II was too
late to take any measures in relation 10 it, but
the report was printed and ordered to be diffus-
ed amongst the people on motion OF MIR. Adams.
At the meeting in Boston for the choice Of
delegates to the Harrisburg Convention one
gentleman spoke Of General Jackson as an old
friend of the American System, and Mr.. Adams
as recent convert to that system. We have
now shown an earlier friendship on the part Of
Mr. Adams to internal improvements than can
be adduced by General Jackson or any candi-
date that has been everStarted as the opponent
of Mr. Adams. His was the very first syslema-
tic movement 10 advance this great National
System. We shall show in future paper tina,
Mr.. Adams friendship to domestic manulac
lures was Of ye, earlier date, and that at least
eight years before ,he resolution offered by him
in relation 10 roads and canals, his views in re-
la,on TO domestic manufactures were in ad
vance Of all his countrymen. SIDNEY.

.frder.--We have the disagrceable
task of recording another murder in this
county, which took place at Westfeld, on
Saturday evening last, about z o'clock.
Robert Bush had so much abused his wife,
that she was compelled to part from him
about two years ago, and we understand
they have not since lived together. Bush
had so often and so publickly threatened
TO kill her, that his threats were little heed.
cd by any one. On tho evening of the
murder, he bought at a store large charge
of buck shot, and an ounce of opium, at
the same time declaring his intention to
kill his wife with the shot. He was seen
proceeding towards the house where his
wife was, with gun in his hand, aud to
the inquiry what he meant TO do with bis
gun, answered that he intended To kill his
wife. On approaching the house, little
girl (who with Mrs. Bush were the only
persons in the house at the tinne) warned
the woman to escape, as her husband was
coming with gun. In attempting her es.
cape, she had Got to the top of the cellar
stairs, with one hand upon her stomach and
the other hold of the door, when the whole
charge of the gun went through her hand
into the sppor part Of The abdomen, and
she fell backwards down the stairs. She
lived about four hours. Bush took his o.
plum, but being immediately arrested, the
means taken to relieve him from the fatal
effects OF the opium were successful. lie
confessed that he had premcditated the act
for more than six months, Tic was com.
mitted to Jail in this town on Sunday, to a
wait his trial.

ity it is the safest. the wisest course TO
Judge men by their past charac ter and con-
duct. He, who had so ably advocated the
cause of freedom, could not consistently
with his ovowed sentiments and with his
patriotism, aid in elevaiing mere militia
ry worth to the highest Office Of the Re-
publc--and he turned from the warrior to
one, who had grown old in the satisfactory
discharge Of great employments. and who
was in every respect entitled TO the grnti

him his suffrage was given. and for this his
character has been torn in pieces by politi-
cal cannibals, who with an appetite more
loathsome than the VAMPIRE, have fed and
fattened on the life blood of q srotlcss re-
