Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-12-15


server was established to support Jackson's
cause in Pennsylvania, by Eaton, Dallas ana
Co. and the station of editor was assigned to
Stephen, and no man, TO do him Justice, ever
used more industry TO please his employers
He wrote night and day in favor Of their candi-
date; published all the letters with which Geo.
KrCmer would furnish him from Washington,
during the sessions of Congress; called Mr..
and Mr.. Clay a black-leg, &c. SC. published
EatOn's life of Jackson," and, in a shor,
time became quite a favorite with his party.
Soon after the close of the election, Stephen
found himself somewhat in debt, and without
the means of liquidating them. In this emerg-
ency, he called on Mr.. Senator Eaton TO settle
with him for a large number Of copies of the
Observer, for which he subscribed at the CON-
mencement, IN the whole, amounting to about
$500. The Senator rofusod-Stephen stop
ped his papcr-bid adieu to politics, and pc
titioncd for TIE benefit of the i~nsolvcnt act,
which VIC believe was granted him.
Recently, Stephen has commenced the pub
LEGATION of a weekly paper in the same city
(having, without doubt, received a small share
Of the $50, 900 fund) and has come out in sup
port of his old friend, Gen Jackson, and OPP
posed to Gov. Shulzc whom he formerly sup
! ported, with great warmth. We give the fol-
lowing extract from his paper of December sth

his liberal feelings:
"Who are the friends Of Mr.. Shulze nor p
Why, all tho old tOries--Z. Pouison, FennO's
old Gazette, Robert Walsh, the PennsyIra-
MIA Gazette: and all the Hartford Contention
papers throughout .WeU-Eng!and! And yet
Binns would fam persuade the stupid black
Dutch,'' as he and his friends call our Jackson
German population, that Mr. Shulze is not an
Apostatc from democracy. This is not the
same man, that The people elected Governor
in 1926; no more than Arnold was an Ameri-
can patriot after he had deserted to the Eng
lish Mr.. Shulze has deserted democracy for
the candidate of the Reign Of Terror [Mr.
Adams Administration He has mounted
the BLACK CocKADE! He is no longer the
same democratic Shulze, that he used to bel
He can take 1850 votes with bim--Let him
have them, and Coils country can afford TO
lose 1000 such men, at any time, and never
feel, never regret the loss. We could not be-
live that Mr.. Shulze would be guilty Of this
yfagitious apOstacy, till we saw the tories
nominate hun at their meetings, and election
Ger for him in their papers, from one end OF
the Union, and the State, to the othor"
After resting himself little, Stephen con-
tinuos in the following beautiful language:
alt is not we, who say that Mr.. Shulzo may
go over TO the Usurper, and carry all he can
with them! That is now the general senfi-
ment of the people of Pennsylvania. They
have seen and known for q year, that Mr..
Shulze was opposed to our Second Washing
ton, and did all in his power to bride the peo-
pie away from his support; and they saw that
Mr.. Shulzo only injured himself, without bene-
fitting the Usurper. Mr.. Shulze is W-dduiSed,
to permit his name TO be used by the TORIES
against Jackson and the Democratic party.
Can he be so weak as to imagine, that he can
lead away the people from the PILL OF
DEMOCRATIC FIRE, into the black cavern Of
Hartford Convention toryism! Fatituous, in
deed, he must be, TO cherish such a chimercial,
such an absurd idea. What name will bear a
comparison with that of JEFFERSON, in favor
Of JACKSON? Not the name Of Mr.. Shulze,
we are sure! If the magic of names must be
appealed TO, to sustain our great Veteran Of
the REVOLUTION, against the idol of tories
and the Hartford Convention, it must be a
stronger one than that of--Shulze! What!
Have the people lost their five senses, that
such a name as Shulzc should draw them from
patriotism-from lore Of country-from lone
Of Leferson-from lone of giory---from OLD
DEMocRACY---from the principles Of The Re
rOlution--and from public gratitude ?---In-
sulting--degrading supposition!--Foul libel on
our honest yeomanry, and true hearted Penn
sylvanians! No---Mr. Shulze, if he wishes to
be respected, must be open, honest, and obe-
dent to the DEMOCRATIC PARTY! He must
bow TO the WILL OF TIL people,; and not
presume to lead them, where to go, would ruin
and engulf them in the company Of .Adams'
tories and Hartford Convention traitors,-
He is, we again repeat, ll-adviscd---hc will
think better Of it---hc will retrdce his steps,
he will shout "success to observation-disclosures to
tho brave---glory to him who has filed the
measure Of his c0untry's glory and he will
advocate the payment of the last debt Of graf
aude that we can ever pay TO the last SOL
DER OF THE REVOLUTION!
Mr.. Shulze has about as much influence as
John Binns, and both together could not elect
a CONSTABLE AGAINST JAcKsoN!'
Tho above extracts are a fair specimen of
the writings of Mr.. Stephen Simpson, although
somewhat more mild than he usually expresses
himself. He has a correspondent at Washing
ton, Ito be in fashion) who understands a
thing or two, as will be seen by his letter Of
the 9th of December. which reads thus:
"You will Join me, l have no doubt, in
\ heartfelt execration Of the hollow hearted du-
[ plicity that characterizes the Message. 1t is
