Do you state there is no suit sgainst you' but
you will find that you must get better security
than yourself. You forget the night that the
Rev. Mr. Keenan, spent the evening with me in
December last, when you intruded yourself in
to my house, without an invitation. You then
heard Mr. Keenan say he wished | would
come to Lancaster and live; and you also know
that MIR. Keenan, is parish priest in Lancaster;
and that he told you snever lived in Lancaster,
so that telling lies is as necessary for your
support as meat and drink. You forget when
you committed your falsehoods and defanlations
to be published, that your attack on me must
be founded on envy and falsehood; as the public
know that | advertise in this Borough in two
newspapers to let every enc in the United
States know who am, what am, and where

bad minded man. The principle cause, be-

a pound of spermaceti candles, which wanted
quarter of pound of the weight done SO to
prevent your doing So again-you, in an insolent
manner, told the woman that your weights were
as honest as mine. But this would not do, your
son had to give hera pound of candles, as she
paid YOU for them. This is one the causes OF
your savage lying, and yindictiye malice.

that William Morgan was in the possession
of the former, subject to the direction Of the
latter alipe and zueH. They also stated that
they saw and conversed with Morgan. and
offered to produce their papers as vouchers
of the correctness of their statements-This

At the close Of the last Presidential election three
adverse and hostile political parties combined to put
down the new Admlnlstratl0n---or rather a few po-
itlca leaders, who had for several years waged an
extermnatng war against each other became sud-
denly reconclled. and United their forces for the
avowed obect of breaking down the Administration.
The discipline oi party gave to these leaders an
extraordinary control Of their adherents, and an Or
aanized press lent them the means of extensive in
liucnce. The object OF uon, and tic 2aotires
of tie seperul purties, ,,M, III time be filth de-
ae}opea Founded in no spirit OF patriotism, and
based on no political principle, it sunk into mere
struggle for power. The conduct Of these leaders
has been marked by every characteristic which can
define an organized opposition. A determination TO
elevate particular man to oppose every public
measure ; 10 thwart and cmbarrass the operations Of
Government; and TO destroy by all means, however
violent and desperate the public character as well
as usefulness Of their competitors
Mr.. Adams W;s man Of acknowledged ability.
rare accomplishments, great experience, and oflong
and faithful service. Mr.. Clay was man of dis
tngnished talents, of pracsed skill in the admins
ratlon of the public affairs, and the abest advocate
of his country's best interests. The principles Of
both were approved by great majority of the ma
ton. Upon these points they were inyulnerable;
The assault was not therefore, TO be made upon their
virtue charge was therefore fabricated of a
rnpt understanding between Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay, and the struggle for power now stands upon
the truth or falsehood of this accusation. 1t ia Of
most serious character-t should be candidly view
ed, and deliberately examined.
Whether Mr.. Clay's choice was right or wrong,
or whether he voted in conformity with the will of
his constituents, are points upon which men differ.

question was made the rallying point Gas far as the
friends Of General jackson could make it SOY in our
Congressional and Senatorial election, and it has moi
resulted much to their advantage. Every eyertion
was used, every nerve strained 10 the utmost on their
part, but all would not do. The friends Of the Adj
nnlsration remained firm and infexible to their
purpose, alike needless and unmoyed by the clamor
by which they were surrounded Mr.. Williams is
Reelected TO Congress in the District by minority
of upwards Of 1900 votes. His majority is greater
than his most sanguine friends calculated upon he
