AT all lines prepared TO attend on her bidding,
he has disdained 10 seek her employment for G.
molanent, while his uprightness has never been
sullied by any engagements to aid in getting or in

The man whom threats cannot intimidate nor
venal promises allure, is empha,calIy the man for
the present circumstances of our country land

| The qualities which are the most useful in pri-

A clear head and an honest heart, which expert.
ence and reflection have taught wisdom, are the APP
prorriate endowments of those, whom nature de

great desfderdtum of an American and Statesman.
whose more important duties are contained in
written precepts, which the celebrating meta

Phis'icaed judgment cannot mistake. Such are
the endowme of Andrew Jackson.
| Moved by gratitude for the services, and admi-
ration OF the wisdom and virtues of Andrew Jack
son-and appealing to him for the vindicaton OF
our good old republican principles, we will unite
win his friends in oher places, in supporting him
at the ensuing Presidential Election.

HEAR Born SIDES We have received Il
letter from respected friend and patron, who
says to us, If We do not publish both sides OF
the presidential question, he will discontinue
his patronage. Although we are willing TO
admit all the claims General Jackson has on
the good will of the American people, and,
though we will never 60 him any injustice, we
must be allowed to say, that this paper, will ne
YER advocate his claims to the presidency. Mr..
Adams is our candidate and always has been
aud when wo started this paper, it was dis
tinctly avowed, and as distinctly understood, +,
that we would give to him our undivided sup
port, as a candidate for reelection. This be-
ing the fact, no man can reasonably suppose,
that we will appear as the advocates OF Gene
raj Jackson, and if any man does so suppose
we not only suppose, bat kno,o, that he will
be sadly mistaken. We should be unworthy of
the vocation wo follow, if we could be bought
and sold at the price of years patronage;
and l.,urh we should be well pleased to re-
ceiyc the continuance Of the appreciation and
support of our friend, still if he cannot yield
bo;h, without we advocate General JACKSON,
hc is at lbclty to take his name from our Int
Of subscr.bcrs.
II isa maxim with us, and we shall always
act upon IFS rules, never to advocate bo'h s'u''
of a ques;ion;-for what is that Janus i'cod Pa-
por worth, which advocates boih SIDES o' Po-
lhical topic, 1t is worth just nothing at a"'

The sufferer has not yet recovered siren Of h
enough to take legal means TO secure redress
but having escertained from conversation with
different persons few of the leading cts OF
the case, we have thought il judicious to state
them, to put stop 10 the various exaggerated
reports that would otherwise obtain currency.
II is moreover proper that such accounts as
could be obtained Of The dress Of the men, the
color of their horses, sc. should be circulated
through the country as speedily as possible
As they were wandering about for twenty y-th hree
days, they must have been seen by many per-
sons, and though the marks mentioned are but
few, they may prove enough to identify them,
and bring The offenders To Justice.
About {" O'Clock on Wednesday night, ac-
cordlng TO the statement we have head, the
three ruiiians released Mr.. ElIting about one
mile north of KcDsngion. He asked for his
pocket-book. which contained about fifty dol
lars in money and number of papers, but
they told him he ought TO be thankful for bav-
ing his life granted him. At an carly period
OF his confinement, one Of his captors cx-
changed clothes with him. When they re-
leased him they gave him back his clothcs.-
Mr.. Ellting then with much difficulty made his
way 10 the house Of friend in the city. He
is still in very weak state, but the assistance
of able physicians has been secured, and the
rapid recovery of his health and strength is
confidently anticipated"
This story, taken altogether as it stands, is,
TO our mind, one of most extraordinary ma
ture, and we must say, that it bears on the
face of it,strong marks Of imposition, and every
thing that leads us to doubt its truth. And il
is marvellous 10 us, how it were possible for
man TO live twcnty-thrce days, in a wagon,
tossed and jostled about as he must have been,
whilst travelling over rude and uneven road.
And beyond all this, il is more than marvellous
to us, that the robbers, after they had secured
their victim, should have consented to have
carried HIM around the world, for the period
it is said they did, for if they had upon them
those natural fears of detection, which most
generally act upon rogues, it is strange that
they did not Immediately release him. and thus
causing him TO depart, free themselves Of the
risks, which actually hung over them every
hour, and every moment of the day.
That credulity which can swallow such a
tale, must be far more capacious than we can
conceive, and if Mr.. Addison Ellting makes
the world listen to him, he will prove far more
fortunate than we anticipate. We conceive
the whole to be a sheer hoax, and a very mis-
cradle one, got up TO gull the natives, the
credulous. and inconsdcrato. 1t is not unlike
| ly that it will prove in the end, a second
| edition Of the Avery transaction.

LEcAL.-Captain William ID. Freeman, late
master Of the brieantine Floyd of Boston, men,
toned in our last, was tired on Wednesday and
Thursday last, before the Admiralty Court o
the United States, on the charge ofhaving mur-
dercd, whilst on the high seas, mariner, nam
ed William Whitehead. Mr.. Justice Story
presided, and verdict of manslaughtcr was
recorded against the prisoner.
The testimony adduced on trial, is of the
most atrocious and ferocious nature, and if il
be true, we arc surprised, that verdict of
.Nurder was not awarded. In all our read
ngs Of criminal trials, we have mover met with
more offensive recital Of dcpravity and cold
blooded murder, than this, and at the mere
perusal Of it, the heart sickens, and the senses
arc dsgustcd and insulted. We purposely omit
giving any part of tho evidence, as it recaptu-
latcs acts Of wantonnccs and crime, which We
are unwilling to record, and which We would
gladly, for the sake Of the honor Of human na-
ture, keep from the eye Of an offended and
msuled world. If Justice, had her due, the
offender, would close his life of infamy, on the
gibbet.

ABDUCTION AND ATTEMPT AT MUIR
DERIVE copy from the Philadelphia Ca
zcttc, a very respectable and well edited pa
per, the following very extra ordinary account
of an ct Of abduction and attempt to commit
murder; and though the tale Is told with much
apparent sincerity and truth, we must confess,
that they who believe it, must possess Il great
or share of human credulity, than we do:
"In the Gazette of yesterday, we published
an article from the Eastern Democrat, rela-
tive to the mysterious disappearance OF Mr..
Addison Elting, near the narrows OF Lacka-
waxcn. As Mr.. Elting is man of unbem-
ishcd character and responsibility, living on
the most aflcctionatc terms with his family,
and in no way involved in his circumstances, 1t
was reasonable to suppose that ho had been
forcibly carried away. Such was the TACT:
and we have the satisfa ctiOn TO announce that
he is now in safety in this CITY,
"According to the statements we have heard,
Mr. Ellting was knocked down with club
On recovering his senses, he found that he was
confined in a box, which had apertures that
admitted air, but no light. The box was SO
large that he could SIT up in it, bat not stretch
himself at full length. In this narrow place
of confinement, he was carried about Tor twcn-
ty-llnec days, aud fed during that period on
bread and water. He was never permitted TO
come out of it but at night, aud when there
was not light enough for him to discover the
features of his captoss. He, however, was
able TO discover that the vehicle in which he
was carried about, was pcdlar's cart, with a
canvass covering supported by bent hoops; ana
also that one OF tho horses was dark-colored,
and the other grey. The men concerned III
this outrage were three in number. Two OF
them wore coatccs, and the third surtouf.
&" A gentleman has started n conjecture, that
when iii. three men knocked down MIR. ElIiing
they supposed they had murdered him, and de-
posi,c the body in the box till they could lind
a more convenient way Of dlsposing of II; but
that when VI. +. recovered his senses they
rcpcnicd of their originpl purpose, and KEPT
HIM in confinement, that they might concoa!
the robbery. According TO another report
about town, the outrage was comml''cd py
some of the Mo,gan party, with tho dcsen OF
securing evidence that might iprward 'hoi,
particular views; but why then did they s'eai
the pockct-book. II is enough for Us to know
that an outrage on personal liberty has bceh
pcrpetratcd, and robbery committed
