GENERALIZATION.
$40 90

Some Of the Jackson papers, Judging oil our
course BY their own, are pleased to charge US
with having published that which was not true,
when we said that John H. Eaton, Esq. the
Senator from Tennessee, and the Biographer
and friend Of General Jackson, had been return
ed by Mr.. Simpson, as Creditor for 8 500
IF what we published, had been in any respect
untrue, General Eaton has the use OF his fn-
gers, and is jealous enough in the cause. not to
wait TO be written 10 by the Jackson Commit
tee, 10 deny the statement He has not done
so. He knoiCs il to be true, and doubtless
now that he has lost his fifteen hundred dollars
an6 that The corrupt purpose 10 which 1t was
applied, has been made known-is very sorry
that he gave his money and devoted his time
and his talents to keep up General Jackson S
cause by the publication Of the Columbian OBJ
server.
aThe York Gazette, Q! the ssh ipsl YpSsf
estimate Of MIR. Eaton, than that he should
"lauish such sum of money on oute print
Sc" General Eaton knows very well that ne
did lavish his money on that vile print, to pro-
mote General Jackson's cause, and therefore
he not only does not himself deny it, but the
denial by others, will greatly offend him, by
imposing upon US the necessity of proving, by
official documents, the truth Of what we have as
serted. 10 enable US 10 do so, we wrote Ger
tihcate OF the fact in relation to General Eaton,
and sent it 10 the Prothonotary, with request
that he would, after examination, affix to it
the seal of the Court. He doubted the propri.
ETY. Of giving certificate Of any part of the
proceedings, and we were obliged TO get from
him certified copy of"the petition Of Stephen
Simnson for the benefit Of the Insolyent Laws"
for which the fee is no less than 81 50 cents.
We really have no wish to drag the names
ofindividuas before the public, other than such
as are essential to maintain the ground we have
occupied. II the Jackson presses will, by their
silly ignorance, compel US 10 publish the whole
list, let the blame fall, where it ought; On them,
and not on US. The second line in the list Of
creditors, is in tie words, figures and marks
which follow, to witt
"JoHN H. EATON, Tennessee, Note $1,000, Book.
Acct. $500. $500"
Mr.. Simpson states, that his "insolvency is
owing to the Improbable publication Of 4 news
paper, called "lhe Columbian Observer" which
he commenced about the LIST Of October, 1922,
and continued until the I'd of November, 1925,
BY debts contracted, for the printing thereof; by
the expenditure of 49, 900 Of his own funds: by
the losses sustained on Notes Of the firm Of S.
Simpson and ]. Conrad, amount not ascertain
able, put into the market at an enormous rate
Of discount and by the bad debts and failures Of
many Of The subscribers to the said paper; to
getaer with the insolvency OF ]. Conrad, which
devoved upon your petitioner, all the liability
for the debts of the firm Of S. Simpson and J
Conrad.

The above estimate is founded on actual IN

The most convenient and effectual mode Of
Gil culating the laws would be through the posi-
Office department: each Postmaster throughout
the United States, should be required 10 nave
permanent notice in conspicuous situation al
his Office, informing the citizens, that every
person desiring 10 obtain one or more copies OF

master twenty five cents for each copy wanted,
before the end of such session-tbe name oil
each applicant SO paying should be entered, in "a

Der Of comics wanted al each Office should be
commune ,ed TO the Postmaster General, and
tie money received, transmitted to him, de-
Quoting ten per cent to be retained as com
pensaton TO the deputy postmaster. The whole
number wanted would thus be known and the
money received for them al the seat OF govern
ment, before il would be necessary to PRINT any
copies Of the laws, except such as are necessary
for the use OF the public officers and the courts
and Judges.
Each printer of newspaper authorized to pub
lish the laws, is entitled to dollar for publishing
every octave page. The above estimate supposes the
laws of session to occupy lao pages in pamphlet
form. When the laws occupy fewer pages, the cost
of publication in the newspapers and OF printing in
pamphlet form will each be PROFESSIONALLY less

 Through the kindness of the gentleman to whom it was addressed, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following ve- ry interesting letter from Beyroot, dated Oct. z, 1925; more than two months la ter than the most recent intelligence be- fore received from the mission. It will be seen that Asaad Shidiak, whose Declare ton may be found on our first page, was still alive as was supposed, but in prison, where he had been confined and i'll treated tor more than si1 months on account of his new religion. The fact of his being still m prison, is proof that he continued sfeadfast in the faithrof Jesus, ,notwithstand- ing the heavy persecution he had been cal- led to bear: fer, a mere assent to the Catholic religion, though it were only ver- bal, would at any moment have freed him from his chains.
