THE MANGUyREs OF THE DAY,

The National intelligencer has been reckless e.
nough TO say: Z" We are satisfied that there is a
PROJECT on loot for rirtuat dissolution Of the
Union; and that men OF no vulgar name are at the
bottom OF it, Without meaning 10 iInpute this in.
tenlon TO the friends of General jackson generally
we state our belief that the originatorS of this
scheme are among his most decided supporters
nay more, that they ms most elevated and Ia
Tented advocates" Masks off, gentlemen When
plots OF this sort are foot, it is incumbent eve
ry friend OF his country TO come boldly out, and
disclose all the particulars. Your position is pc
remptoriy denied; and you detied for your
proofs. his lnsinuation must not go out TO this
country or TO Europe, without contradiction. We
call upon your, then, TO come out and unmask the
pio'ters. who are they! Who are those most el.
eyated and talented advocates" TO whom YOU so
darkly allude: We demand a specific ation-the
country demands t--or, be content to be set down
as traducers-as artful politicians, who are seeking
by the most insidous means 10 raise panic in the
nation, Tor the benefit OF the Coaliton-An end
| truly worthy OF such meansl
But this nsinuaiion is only of piece with the
DINER manGuvres 1t is employing. II pretends "a
rely upon the accuracy of am article in a Louis
vile paper, which is addressed TO Mr.. Rowan,
charging him with saying, " if John q. Adams be
elected to the Presidency the next Congress will
be the last that will sit i'm the United States -
Does any man seriously believe that Mr.. II. ever
made so extravagant declaraton2 And yet upon
authority thus vague, and anonymous in its cha
racter; without knowing who it j. that made it,
much less giving MIR. X. an opportunity oil be-
ing heard in bis defence, is tn National Intelli-
| gencer mad enough to advance the most extraya.
CANT comncntaries--get up a new " CTisis''-con-
meet he alleged declaration with TIL ''Dovements
OF the malecontents in South Carolina''-and urge
IT as an evidence Of plot in the friends of General
Jackson 10 dissolve the Union. To such desperate
eXtremites are the organs of the Coalition now re-
| ducedl
The n. lntelligencer is also silly enough to rely
upon an assertion in Of it's "affiliated" presses
| that 50 the Hon. a. Stevenson some two or three
weeks ago, publicly expressed the opinion in this
city, p1ichmond1 that If Gen. j. trGs not elected
| the TyliOu 1Co1i!d be dissOIped" W. have moi fha
slightest belief that Andrew Stevenson ever made
any such declaration 20 We should like TO hear
(says the Nat. lntelligenceO what opinions other
eminent men, admitted behind the curtain during
the last session OF Congress- hare discOsed TO heiJ
friends on Their return home" Without pretend.
| ing to know what other members of Congress have
| disclosed TO their friends, we only undertake
TO answer for ourselves and for Andtew Steven.
SON We are probably in the habit Of cOfnmunicat.
ing rs freely with him. any other persons in the
world. W. have had frequent conversations with
bin, on politics, since his return homeland ne
yer for one moment, have we heard him breathe
any thing like the prediction which IL here as
cribed TO him. His political opponents may have
| been more fortunate than his friends--but, from
| The last. certainly from us, he has withheld every
| sentiment, every scheme which squinted in the
most remote degree at the dissolution Of the Union
Of these States. Mr.. S. is now with his family
| 10 the North--or else we would appeal 10 him d.
ecfly for the truth Of the declaration which la.
| been attributed 70 him.
Another assertion Is also republisbed by the ~
| inieliigencer upon the authority, viz thai
"a Judge Of the General Court OF Virginia AT Nor
I io.k," did declare that A" If Mr.. Adams was mol
