Administration .Neetiag in .Ne,c- Hamp-
shire.--One Of tho largest cetings which was
ever held IN Hampshire, was held at the
Court House in Concord, on the l4th instant
Honorable SamGel Bell presided. The meet
ing was addressed by Mes-rs. Whipple and
Bartlett, members of Congress- and Robert
Bartlett, Secretary OF state. Mr.. Bartett,M M. &.
in the course of his speech ,made the following
rernarks
AT the last election Of President, those
three distinguished individuals, Messrs. Adams,
Crawford and Jackson,) with others, were pre-
sonted us canddatcs. This State, in the cleo
toral college, gave an unanimous vote for the
present incumbent. No choice was effected
by the first mode pointed out by the Constitu-
ton. The three candidates named were re-
turned to the House of Representatives, and
The same Constitution devnlved upon that body
the responsible duty oil de oiding between them.
In that House l was honored by my fellow citl-
Zcns with seat. The soiemn and important
duty, which | had TO discharge, was not ap-
preached without thought and reflection
Could have acted from any personal partial-
ties--from considera, ions, or motives other than
the interest and honor of our country, and the
welfare of my constituents, must have forgot
ten the oath Of God, which was upon me, or
have added to moral treason, deliberate per-
jury. voted for JoHN QUINCY ADAMS.
will not, for heed not, justify that vote,
by dwelling upon the want Of qualifications,
which in Judgment, should have prevented the
election of the other candidate. A just ifca-
ton to my mind, sufficient, is found in the emil
nent qualifications Of the person elected. The
industry, correct habits, and stern integrity of
JOHN Quincy ADAMS, no individual, at that
period, who had any reputation of his own,
dared to question. II is literally true, that
he was educated in the school Of nations. -
From childhood his life has been devoted to
his countrys service. BY tho personal solici-
tations of Washington, he was employed in
public duties at the age of fourteen years
Jefferson, MADISON, and Monroe, have success
lively appointed him 10 the most important trusts
they could confer. OF his manner of dscharg-
ing these various duties, shall not speak
History will tell. The successful operations of
government--1u ur prosperity and happiness al
ready declare it,
sfsuch considerations justified the vote then
given vote announced with acclamations OF
Joy through this State, ask, and ask to be
answered, have the measures of his admins
tration sustained that decision IL not, what
are the offences for rhich we should now cry
"crucifv him, cruelty him 80
The President called Mr. CLAY to the De-
partment of State. The collision between that
gentleman and myself, which grew out of what
believed to be a duty to myself and to those
whom ] represented, was adjusted; but had il
never been, no private grievances would deter
me from awarding that Justice to the charac-
ter and merits of a public man, which they
may deserve.

DUELLING.---The following account Of
concerned. in the year 1906, gives one of tho
most revolving evidences Of the depravity os
the human heart, we have ever Witnessed
'SThe affair ofhonor, in which the General
deliberately shot Charles Dicke-son, took place
in the summer Of 1906. The record Of that
bloody transaction, has for many years been in
our possession. We heard it also in 1916, at
Plattsburg, (when we were in company with
DR.. j. Ramsay, of Charleston) from the mouth
fan officer ofthe United States engineer corps.
then at that station, with all its PARTICULARS
He stated, that Charles Dickerson threw away
his tire, that Gen. Jackson then advanced,
and presented the pistol TO the mah's head.
and with an oath, bid him make concessions or
die. Dickcrson ref 'sed: Jackson took down
his pistol, picked the flint, and presented il a
second time, with similar remarks, and with
the like effect: and after repeating this seve-
raj times, finally shot the man dead on the
spot. Several gentleman in this county, have
heard the same story the last winter with all
the circumstances attending it, from two veal
thy, intelligent and respectable gentlemen, ma
tivcs of New Jersey, who now live in Nash
vile, and have long lived there.
Appalling as this statement is, We have cir
cumstance 10 add to it, which made our in
formants "blood run cold," when he heard it,
as well it might--Soon after the duel,
Jackson wrote a letter TO Samuel Pryor, a not
ed gameSter, and crony of the General, then
residing in this State, giving him an account of
it. In that letter the HERO expressed him.
self TO this effect. Ircserred mn fire, and
Uhen did shoot, you may be assured I LEFT
the damned rascal Welte,ing in his blood"
II is many years since our informant heard the
letter read. But the expressions, he says, and
we can readily believe it, made an impression
upon his mind which time Cannot obliterate
while memory endures.''
The foregoing is copied from the Trenton
True American, and may be relied upon as
authentically correct. BY way of an apology
for his cold-bloodcd deed, he OF the same time
urged that he was justified by the principles
and rules observable by men who engage in
affairs of honor! And shall such man be
elevated TO the chief ma gistracy of the United
States! Forbid il Heaven.

Mrs. GENERAL JAcKsoN.-The Nashville
Republican of the 9Th instant contains a long
letter, addressed TO the Jackson Committee of
the city of Cincinnati, and signed by the Jack
son Committee Of Nashville, which is an at
tempt to explain away the charges which have
been preferred against General Andrew Jack
son, accusing him of having taken from the
bed Of Lewis Roberts, his legal wife, Rachel
and holding her from that day to this, as his
lawful spouse. The great length of the letter
and its accompanying documents, forbid our
attending to either at this moment; and we
must defer the consideration of it till another
occasion. 1t is sufficient TO say in this pla ace
that the letter, in no small degree goes to
establish the verify of former reports.---We
shall attend to the letter soon as pra cticable,
prob ably next week.

with some Of tho up-io-the-hub Jacksoniuns,

A FRIEND. The individual who kindly

are fond of indulging in the "sportire trick

But Captain Jenkins is too humane a man,

but for him., the writer Of this article would, in

poraries. Descending the Mississippi, in the
year 1921 we reached the leree at New Orleans

employed himself,'in preparing his mind for the
discharge of the ddtics ithe Chief Magistracy,
his whole soul was absorbed in the improper

and beyond the lusre OF lis military achieve
men;s, he has nothing to redeem him from
just and merited opprobrlum.
In the councils Of the nation, he was sew
eral times engaged; and it is we'll known, that
whilst in the Senate, he was useless member,
and did not display any Of the talents or tact
of the politician. Whilst there he was used

which lie was attached, and was neither loved

 Messrs. Editors, since last addressed you, volley of Fast day Sermons has been discharged against the common enemy, and not without some effect. Some of the churches in this city, were half awaked, and, trust, that such another volley would bring them to stand upon their feet, and shake themselves from the reproach which has too long rested upon them. Let eve ry professing Christian say for himself, "I have done with ardent spirits" and the work will be half done. Let it no more be said, that such and such minister was seen to call at the bar of tavern, and tip off his glass with as good an air as the worst of us. Let it no more be said, that such and such professor may be good man, for aught we know, but he carries a red nose of his own, and we guess that, with all his religion, he would not stick at glass of brandy o, my brethren, let there be no more occasion for this reproach. Before conclude, I would say, that in my opinion there are some grocers in this city who are prepared to turn their liquor casks out of doors, and to give up the deal- ing in ardent spirits, altogether. And now, I call upon the friends of religion, the friends of their country, to look after them, and if there are any such to be found to patronize them. 5. ID.
