The evidences of the true u Mary
land Jackson meetings come in dan a. ten-
tation has been entirely Overwhelming H. rent
of truth which rushes through SO mSG
The people cannot be deceived as to the streh6h Of
the friends of Gen. Jackson in that State. Con
vention will of course be held and the nomination
WILL doubtless, be made but after the numerous
proofs which have been exhibited Of the manner in
which the Convention has been formed, to suppose,
for moment, that it can deceive the people Of the
Union into the belief that it is the voice of Mary
land which dominates Gen. Jackson, would be an inn
putaton on their intelligence, which will never be
justified by facts
In the last frederick Examiner, we have the fol-
lowing particulars of the meeting in that place:
Gin Frederick, where public notice of the meeting
had been given for weeks previous, there appeared
on Saturday last, the incredible number of about
one hundred, nearly half of whom were friends
to the Administration who were attracted by curiosity
the town bell having thrice sounded the summons
to attend. 1t will be recoected that this was not
ozUn but county meeting, and that the town district
alone can give nearly one thousand votes I! The
friends of General jackson were much mortified at
the s' beggary account of empty seats, but pro-
ceeded to organize and pass sundry resolutions.
Mr.. Adams told Congress that if the laws remain
ed unaltered, he as executive would be compelled
to enforce them in Georgia, and one of our neigh
bors told his readers this was "threat to COM
mence civil war; for which the president was very
censurable. The same editor does well to conceal
from his readers General Jackson's letter to Geor-
ga Governor, in 1918, in which that Governor was
insulted and told, You, SIR as Governor Of State,
WITHIN MY MILITARY DIVISION, HAVE NO RIGHT
TO ISSUE A MILITARY ORDER WHILST I
AM IN THE FIELD IfGen. Jackson were Presi-
DENT would he delay enforcing the laws by arms
until he had tried every other expedent, and sub
mted the question to Congress ?-Pataburg Gas.

To Jacksoniuns.

To what cause do you ascribe the late alarming
changes in Pennsylvania Has not Mr.. Jackson as
great merits now as in1S24f Are the people of that
State determined, like the people of Delaware, to
look to measures, and not to men and names? Or,
think you, that measures are not to be considered,
and that you like brother Col. Johnson will put the
Administration down--be "they as pure as the An
gels on the right hand of the throne of GOD"? But
what think you, has produced this great and dismay
ing change, which is becoming more and more visible
in Pennsylvania? What is the eye opening cause
What makes the political vision clear and distinct
to render spectacles unnecessary for the purpose
Of distinguishing between the interests of Staeand

Search out, diligently, the cause of so great and
dismaying an effect. When you have found it, re-
Acct upon it. If you have determined tojoin broth
or COL Johnson's standard, let this cause have no
operation on your own minds--Despse it--and
march on. But if you willgive it due consideration,
and suffer it to have its Just effect, shall gladly
number you among those who have not only seen the
error of their ways but have abandoned this error,
the moment it became evident
The Jackson Democrat, of Reading, Penn. has
stopped for want Of patronage.
Mr.. Long, Representative from North Carolina,
IN the last Congress, in an address to his constitu-
ents, says g The journals of Congress will show
that on many national subjects have disagreed with
the administration. My opposition to it arises from
different source from the charge of &c intrigue,
bargain and management which has been SO pro-
iusey promulgated from one end of the continent
to the other, which justice and candor compel me
to say do not, and never did, believe
In the last Presidential election, Mr.. Long was a

rsA From the Village Record.
We see in several of the Opposition papers, that,
in statement of votes for President, Pennsylva
MIA is set down as having given $4,000 and more
to General jackson. This is an error--whether
intentional Or not, the publishers best knew but
it is not SO. The statement is calculated to de-
ceive and mislead. There was no such expression
of public sentiment in Pennsylvania in favor Of his
pretensions tothe Presidency. epoliticians went
to the election-the people, in collective sense,
staid at home. There are in Pennsylvania more
than million of free inhabitants, and somewhere
near 100000 voters Instead Of $4,000, the vote for
Electors favorable to General Jackson was SO, 100
about one.fth of the voters Of the State. 1t was
here very much as in New-Jersey. The friends Of
General Jackson, trumpetted and drummed by the
zeal of MIR. Simpson, and the Columbian Observer,
came out to the election in great strength-we will
not say all their strength--but then, instead of
$4,000, the vote received was, in truth, less than
hafthat number and we think. from the indications
of public sentiment that the people will out at
the next election, and do as they have done in New
Jersey-show what really is the public sentiment
and we are greatly mistaken, or the voice of the
majority will be in fevor Of continuing the Admins
tration another term, ifthey continue to do they
have done, conduct prudenty, and behave them
selves well.

What pity, we had almost said, ach@ shame,
that the Senate did not pass the bill recommended
by the Secretary of the Treasury, and which did pass
the House of Representatives, proposing to exchange
sixteen millions of Stock bearing an interest of six
per cent. and now payable for a stock to that
amount bearing an interest of five per cent. The
thing might easily have been done. Not the least
difficulty would have attended it, and the people
would have saved one per cent. on the sixteen mil
lions, until they could have been paid the debt
There was and is money plenty in market at five per
cent interest, payable half yearly, or quarterly.

FREE SCHOOLS. We are as ready to advo.
cate the propriety of establishing Free School.
in this state, as any one, and we reflect with
pride and pleasure that We have had the hon.
our of clnvassng tho subject before the public
in this paper, and in others, on more occasion
than one. That We need schools is not to be
denied, and if we ever hope to obtain them
we must pursue system Of persuasion and
gentleness. To traduce and abuse the people
of the state, cannot do any good, but if we
reason with them, success may attend US, and
onr objects may be attained. Tho people OF
Rhode Island, are abundantly capable Of mana
ging their own affairs; and, I'VE cannot but hope
that without the aid or advice of other states,
they will turn their attention to the grea, cause
of education. The advo cates for the establish
mcnt of Free Schools" may 90 on as long
as they please, and we shall pray God Speed
them WE'LL but as soon as they begin TO yiIliry
the state unnecessarily, whilst. discussing the
subject, we shall notice, and protest against
their conduct.
The paper printed on Wednesday and Sat
urday, takes to itself great credit. for having
three years ago, taken up the subject. and
chuckles at its Professcd consistency. Whilst
they do this, they should remember, that the
only essays, that ever appeared in that paper,
on the subject of free schools, with the excep-
ton Of those which have been published with
in the last two or three weeks, were written
by the editor of this paper, at the solicita ton
Of ono Of tho publishers, who whilst he sat in
"dignilied retirement" modestly bore the
credit Of another mans productions, and look
cd exceedingly learned and grave.

Ma. E FpRREsr. There q li,tla sparr-
ing in the New-York papers, in relation 10 this
young, celebrated, and unrivallsd Tragedian,
and the Albion Of that city, does not hesitate
to intimate, that he has given his consent at
lcast,to system of gulling, equally disreputa-
bio 10 himself, and all concerned in il. At the
time Of his last engagement at the Bowory, it
was stated in some Of the papers Of the city,
in the patronage Of the Bowery. that after he
had closed that engagement, ho would take
leave of.ho country, for Europe; thus intma-
ting 10 his friends and tho lovers of the drama
generally, that if they did not improve the pres
snt opportunity Of beholding him, they would
oso it forever. The consequence was, that
full houses were called in, and the mana ge-
ment made very profitable affair of the bust
ness; but it now appears that Mr.. Forrest does
not 60 TO England!
We shall not hesitate to admit, that the
trick Of which the Albion complains, was play
od off by tho management, but that Mr.. For
rest had any concern in it, wo do not believe
and from what we know MIN. we feel assured,
that he is incapable of resorting to such des-
picable arts. Unlike most Of the profession,
he is regardless, and too much so, ofthe trum-
petings of fame; and if he Pleases those whom
he struggles 10 please, he is satisfied, and asks
no other boon, than the appreciation and smiles
of his supporters and on the goods of this
world, he places not that value, which would
induce him to commit a species Of NOR
al fraud, to fill Theatre. As to his visiting
Europe, ho will do so when invited, and not
before, as he is not disposed to go, uninvi-
ted, when others have been, unsolicited, and
through tho management Of some public char
ity, gained admittanco to tho stage. When
Forrest visits England, he must bo invited; and
when he does 60 TO the continent, we feel con-
fdont he will meet with abundant success.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM " PRINTER's
DEVIL Most people, except those, who are
some way connected with the press, are prob
ably unacquainted with the origin Of the term
" Printers Devil" and that all may be edited
on subject 50 momcntuous, We shall take the
trouble to explain; and tho explanation we
have to give, is copied from the notes of Mr..
McCreery's" Poem OH the Press" and thus it
reads.
SIN tho adventure of Dr.. Faustus and the
Sorbonne at Paris, we seem to have the origin
Of the opinion, that printers have occasion for
he assistance of a supernatural parsonage IN
the progress Of their labours, with whom all
the rest Of the world is most anxious TO avoid
any very intimate acquaintance. Had we no
other complaints against lis Satanic Ma jesty
than that Of assisting John Faust to bring 10
perfection the art of printing, we certainly
! should nave no right to atigmatlsc him as a be
| ing Of so malignant disposition as he is com
monty represented. The primers devil is a
character almost identified with the origin OF
| the art. and may consider ourselves pecu-
liarly fortunate in having a guardian exclusive
! ly assigned 10 us, from whom notwithstanding
| his general bad conduct TO other people, we
have so little to apprehend, and who IS COM

monty our faithful ass slant both in our labours
and in our pleasures. From hence also the le-
| gend of the Devil and DR.. Faustus.'

appcllation from his being the youngest boy in

which We alluds preserves, ws espy an extract
from an article contained in it yesterday, head
cd 4" Circulation Of Newspapers"
cit is very idle for the publishers of nows-
papers to be Boosting of the extent of their cir
culation, and it is unfair, aud we should think
dishonest, TO attempt to deeeive the public in
TO belief that the patronage of a paper is
much greater than it really is, because a mis-
representation of this sort can do those who
make it no ultimate good, and has direct
tendency to effect the pccuniary interests of
other newspaper establishments"
In the circular, of which we have before
spoken, the same writer, who is now SO exceed
ingly modest, has the following vaunting and
boastng language, and which he knew to be
unfounded and incorrect, when he gave it utter
ance.
"Wc now publish, a sem-weekly paper,
Uhe American Il Gazctte,) and a weekly
the Microcosm.) These papers united, have
a more extensive circulation than is possessed
| by any other newspaper establishment in this
State"
And yet we are complained Of, because we
have made a plain, an open, and an honest
statement. of our affairs to the public, in de-
fence Of our rights, and with hope Of cutting
off the acts Of deceit, practised by jealous
neighbon. We close, with asserting that the
statement made in our last, is true, and can
be proved to the sntisfa ction Of all who may
feel at all interested.
BY the way Of apology for this article, we
plead self-defence, and having done with the
subject, we assure our friends and patrons,
that it will not be resumed, and that we will
not again annoy them with the history Of our
private grievances.

must decline publishing it,os it relates to pa
per, published in this town. and which former
ly boro on its imprint, tho portraiture Of a
PHnrIx," and whose inherent duness and
stupidity, carries with it, its own corrective.
We seldom notice that paper.-indoed We nev-
er do, save when its attacks upon the reputa-
tion Of the State arc made by the band of tho
common c,lumnator, and when the scurill,ty
il casts at the FARMING INTERESTS oi

suffered.
We thank Theodocious for his good intcn-
tions, and beg him TO DO assured, that in spar
ing tho individuals connected with tho paper
in question, we are influenced oy the recol-
lection Of the language Of Horace walpole,
who finely remarked, 4" that it is the provn &c
Of impotence, TO bo impuden,. and Of dull
ness TO be vile; and, that If wo can overlook
the weaknesses Of age, wo ought to forgive tho
insolence Of idiocy." The language of WAL
polo, is 90 applicable TO the individuals al
whom the sarcasm Of Thoodoc:ous is aimed,
that we cannot but employ il. though we would
weep for the misfortuncs Of those, who were
created idiots, by the Ruler Of the Universe.
