The Milledgeylle Southerner, a Jackson
paper, speaks in the following language of the
Presidential election:
cit must bo confessed that the opposition TO
the reelection of Mr.. Adams to tho Presiden-
cy. is composed Of various feelings, opinions
and ambitions expectations. There are men
in the Opposition who expect to be promoted
to high offices with large salaries, by a changes
tertaining feelings Of personal enmity to Mr.
Adams, could not be more gratied than by
the downfall Of those who are now in power :,
whether produced by General Jackson or some.
one else. In the ranks of the opposition can
be seen also, set Of politicians, trimmers in
overy - nss Of the ord, who have no opinion
of their own who are guided by few popu-
lar individuals or who, more attentive to
their private interest, repeat like a parrot, tho
exclamation of every one that may promote
their selfish views. Others pretend to oppose
the present administration, but say not a word
against it. Those men belong to the school Of
Sir Pertinax Mac Sycophant they dare not
be independent lest the patronage they receive
should be Withdrawn, and the smiles Of great
men should cease they counterfeit their faces,
the expression of their feelings, and their opin-
ions they sacrifice the nobler virtues Of hu.
man nature at the shrine of Mammon. At
the same time, there are men who oppose the
administration on principles F; who conscien-.
tiously believe that Mr.. Adams doctrines Of
government are pernicious, and productive of
the most baleful consequences to the public
institutions of the country. With others, per-
sonal respect and admiration lead them to sup
port General Jackson, as they would person.
al or kindred friend in his worldly concerns,
without reflection, and without making any
difference between the private and crcumscri-
bed prosperity of a single individual, and the
prosperity of whole nation. Though this
opposition is thus cons,i uted Of such vari-
Gus materials, yet the principal point to 30
obtained, is the election of any other man but
Mr.. John Quincy Adams"

DocToR PHYsIc, in a letter to Doctor G..
Taylor. Of the city Of Washington, says that he
has attested the reputed virtues of the plant
called Livorwort, and that in the few cases
where he has administered the plant, il has
been found destitute of the least effect, and is
Of opinion that no reliance should be placed on
its virtues. The Doctor may be correct for
aught we know but we do know, that il has
been successfully administered in one or two
cases in this vicinity, with comparative success.
1t certainly will not do any harm, and is wor-
thy Of trial by all invalids.

Post Master General and Mr.. Binns.--
In justice to the Post Master General we
publish that part Of his answer 10 the attack
of Mr. Binns Of the Democratic Press, which
was inserted in our last. The Post Master
General remarks:
"Mr. Bache was removed for failing TO dcpos-
it as promptly as he was required, in less than
three hoors after the defa!cation was reported
to the Postmaster. General, by Mr.. Brady. As
his accounts for the last quarter have not been
returned, it is impossible 10 state precisely the
sum he owse. II is, however, believed, that he
will no, be found in default, for the receipts of
his office, more than sixty days. He has paid
TO tho Department since the commen cement of
the administration Of the present Postmaster
General, S340,577 10 his deficiency may
amount TO some ten or twelve thousand dol
lars. For this sum, his surety is believed to
be amply responsible. statement is not
correct, that the late Post master had given' no
security. The public, it is hoped, will not lose
a dollar Of this efalcaton.
The funds Of the Office were never placed
under the control Of the chief clerk. as charg-
ed, by the present Postmaster General. He
has always acted upon the principle, that, if a
Postmaster cannot be trusted with the monies
received, he is unworthy Of holding the office.
At the time Mr.. Bache vas removed, it
seems he had deposit in his own name, con-
trary to instructions and unknown TO the De-
parment, in the Bank Of the United States.
An agent was sent to Philadelphia, with the
view Of securing all the funds under the con-
troll of the Postmaster. The very moment the
above deposit was known, steps were taken by
the Postmaster-General,t TO prevent its pay
ment. 1t is true Mr. Bache checked for
twelve hundred dollars Of it, which was paid
before an Injunction was obtained, the whole
of which sum, except two hundred and fifty
dollars, has since been recovered from him.
The Post Master General admits that cer-
tain charges were preferred against Mr. 3ache,
one Of which was strictly investigated and laid
before the Presieent, who was understood to
concur in the decision made"

to-TARIFF BILL BY reference to the
proceedings of Congress on Monday, it will
be seen, that the Tariff bill has pas
sed to a third reading by majority of foe.
The bill was probably returned to the House
on Tuesday. The correspondent of the Com.
New England Senators voted for the bill.
which accounts for its unexpected success.
The states which voted in the affirmative were
Vermont, Connecticut, ,New-York. New-Jer-
sey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Kentucky.
Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The States
which voted in the negative were Maine, Ma
ryand, Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Mississippi and AlabaUa. Tho
States Of Massa chusetts, Rhode-Isand, Louis-
lana and Tennessee were divided. New
Hampshire, gave one vote in the negative
Mr.. Bell being absent. Two important amend
ments were adopted :-one imposing a du-
ty! Of 80 per cent ad valorem on silk gooSs
imported from beyond the Capo Of Good Hope
and 20 per cent ad valorem on all other silks.
The object Of the discrimination is to favor tho
trade with England and France. The other
amendment fixes the first Of September for the
commencement of the operation Of the bib.
instead Of the 3Oth of June. This will prevent
the bill from applying to such orders as may
already have been sent out. The bill will 60
back to the house with many amendments; the
most important Of which, are the increased du-
ty on woollen cloths, the lead duty, the indigo
duty and the silk duty. There is no doubt that
the House will concur in these amendments"
Mr.. Robbins voted against the third read
ing and Mr.. knight for il.

THE "TENNEssEAN" Doctor Arm.
srRoNG, of the county Of BE ford, Tcnnes-
see, has announced, that he is the author OF
the several political essays, which appeared in
the Kentucky Reporter, giving an account of
the execution Of John Woods and signed
"Tenncsseoan. This he was induced to do,
not from love Of lame, but by the threats of
several of the parasites Of General Jackson
who had puclickly ayowcd, that if thcy could
discover the name Of the author Of the ESSAYS
in alluson, they would call him to tho field, or
inilict upon him some corporeal punishment.
Anonymous letters 10 this effect often rca ched
Doctor Armstrong, and as he was not TO be
intm;dated by tho threats OF a bravado, he
gallantly came forward, and said to his assail-
ants, gentlemen am at your service. Doctor
Armstrong resides in the very heart of Jack
sonism not more than fifty miles from Gene
raj Jackson. During the last war, he was at.
tached to the United States Army, and was
distinguished for his chvalrous department
He was with general Jackson, in his Southern
Campaigns, and was often an unwilling specta-
tor to his acts oftyranny.
In his letter, surrendering his name, Doctor
Armstrong intimatos, that he will not be drag
god to the field ofhonour, by any one unless he
thinks proper to submit to a summons and
says that ho shall not be diverted from his du-
fy, by the threats or denuncations Of the
champions Of the military chefain. When he !

| FRANCIS ST.. LAuREAr. A Frenchman,
named Francis ST. Laureat was convicted of
the crime Of Larceny, at the last New-York
sessions, and sentenced to receive the usual
punishment, awarded to that crime. The
New-York Journal Of Commerce, speaking Of
him, remarks:
| "Francis St. Laureat, who was convicted at
| tho sessions on Tuesday, has generally excited
the sympahies of those who were present at
| the trial, chiefly from his very geDtemanly de-
pertinent, and from the circumstance ofbis be-
ing totally ignorant of the language. This
morning We visited him in prison, and in the
course OF n conversation, VIC learnt that he is 4
native of Rochelle, and has been absent from
France nearly years, during which period he
has travelled through the Union and South A
merica, visited the Sandwich Islands, from
thence he sailed to China, and from that place
to the East Indies. He also made himself ac-
quain,ed with the most celebrated places in
Europe, and the fruits Of his observations du-
ring his various travels, upon the manners,
customs and civil policies OF the various nations
among whom he has sojourned. are comprised
in a mass of manuscripts now in his possession.
He has, also, several treatises upon religion,
md divers subjects of meta physical enquiry,
and appears TO be person whose mind is ele-
waited above mediocriiy, and one Of those un-
fortunate individuals entitled TO a certain p0r.
ton o! public commiseratioD, from he ia ct that
actual distress and want drove him TO the
breach Of the law, for which he is now await
ing the penalty.
Whilst we admire the sympathy, which tho
editor Of the Journal Of Commerce has expvess-
ed, in behalf Of this misguided Frenchman, We
are not ready to believe that he is what he
represents himself to be, and we think il 10
most likely that he is an impostor. man,
like him, possessing so many rare qualifications,
as he is said to possess, could not Of necessity
become entirely destitute in this free country.
where talent and industry arc always reward
ed;-and beside all, it is marvellous to us,
that he should bear a genteel'appearance,if il he
were as destitute as he is represented. But
guilty or not guilty, he is entitled to the pity Of
the world, and we trust he will receive it. But
we had quite another object in view, in writing
this article, which IS to express Cur surprises.
that tho very editor, who was not disposed to
say one kind word in favor OF Timothy B. Red
mond, man who had always sustained a fair
character, should have his sensblities so mar
vellously wrought upon, by the condition Of an
acknowledged criminal!

KENTUcKY.-A friend residing in Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, in letter dated May /, s2s,
writes US that "the New England States, may
rely on the A administration receiving very
large majority Of the votes Of Kentucky. BE
not alarmed continues our correspondent, 'for
Kentucky will never give her votes TO General
Jackson. She remembers too well the insult
he offered her troops at the battle Of New Or
leans; she remembers too well the efforts he
has made to destroy her favori,e on-the pride
of the west-to even be induced TO give him
her support. We arc proud TO find that little
Rhode Island remains firm in her alta chment It,
and we honor her for the honors she has con-
ferred on Mr. Clay. Transylvania is yet in
most deplorable condition, and We look with
Inuch anxiety for the arrival of DocroR
WooDs, who we hope, will be prevailed upon
to take charge Of her affairs. When shall we
expect to see him. We hope that we shall be
enabled TO manage things 10 his entire satisfac-
ton when he arrives, and so control our secta-
ran affairs, as TO render his situation not only
agreeable, out happy. DO you think that he
will accept the Officer"
(Note.-In reply 20 that part Of the letter
Of our friend, which speaks of Doctor Woods,
we have simply to say. that he left here for
Lexington about ten days since, and is proba-
bly, very near the end of his journey. As to
his accepting the office which has been con-
forred, that is a subject about which we are
not authorized to speak definitely, but we are
Of opinion, that he will decline its honors, vex-
ations, and emoumentsl

MAJOR NoAH.-The paper published in
this town yesterday, contains an article COM
municated, or pretended to be communicated
from New-York, which speaks in the following
terms Of Mr.. Noah:
"He has no influence beyond that Of circu-
latng falsehood where it may not be possible
to contradict it. He has no influence with
any party except as tool for the time being.
He has been bought and sold too many times
by them all to gam their confidence. Besides
that he has been convicted Of a crime in ono
of our courts of Justice, so extremely low
(brcaking letters) that this, without reference
to his early history, would forever debar him
from the society Of respectable people. In
the present state Of the world, a low crime Of
this sort affects man more than one Of great
or agnitude-say, than duelling."
This is the first time we ever saw a charge
Of dishonesty brought against Mr.. Noah; and
We shall only say. that in our opinion it is false.
From the knowledge which we have Of Mr..
Noah, he sustains the character Of an honest
and upright man in all his transactions In
politics we are opposed to him, but we enter
tain high respect for his private virtues, and
hope that the public will wait until he has an
opportunity to make his own defence, before
they pronounce him guilty, Of the charges
brought against him, BY an editor in this town.

Our venerable friend, Mrs. Anne Royal,
has partially recovered from the wound she ro-
ceived on her venerable leg, and has kindly
addressed us a note, which of course, wo must
copy.
Washington city, May, IL, 1928.
DEAR SIR.-I suspect you have heard of
my overthrow among the Goths. l drove
them like sheep before me, all through Maine
and the North, but when penned them up at
Lake Champlain, they faced about, and fought
manially; bat if the rufIian had not come be-
hind me like a coward, could easily have
out.run him.
This happened the 18th Of December, and
am not able to walk yet. suppose, that you
may guess what l have suffered, by the at
Temps Of the Missionaries to spread their gos-
pei on me. If this be the gospel they spread,
I would almost as soon be without it. I am
sorry it happened, as l should have had my
book published three months sooner by having
my printing done in Providence, as intended; ;
but in my disabled situation, was not able to
get there, so conveniently as to Washington.
My very soul has been grieved out with
worthless, drunken printers. There is scarcely
a sober printer in Washington; and at last I
had to put the volume out before 1t reached
the number Of pages engaged, to accommo-
date the members Of Congress. had to drop
one half Of the edition, for want of paper
There arc but Is copies, which, at the rate
they are going, will not be half enough. Got
one from Mr.. = I" X ., and let us see if you
can puff any better .han you did before
Don't put the pipe in it. Niagara Falls, Ma
sons Island, and the scenery of New-Y ork,
are said to be well done; but suspect you will
like the Missionaries hest. Present my love TO
Mr.. Jones Of the Patriot, and to all inquHing
friends. With esteem l am your friend and
admirer, ANNE ROYALL.
p. S.-I shall sue you for SANDER, you saucy
Yankee: Look at general remarks.
Well, we are right glad to hear from our
venerable friend, and as soon as we have time,
shall offer review of the black book Mrs.
Royal will probably be with us as early as the
first of July, when we shall have at her service
a new pipe, made for the Emperor Chow Chow
Chud, Of the Kingdom Of Acabar, and by him
ordered 10 be presented to the distinguished
Anne Royal.

The Review, s from the pen Of a gentleman,
who has long been advantagcously known to

than any other man in New England, 10 aid

| From the year 1917 upwards his pen has almost

public have very freely and cheerimlly accept
ed of his Iabors, benefited by them, and then
forgotten the man at whose hands they rccciv-
ed them. Such things should not be suffered
TO exist. Most Of our readers will probably
recognize in the style Of the author, his real
name, but to such as do not, We will say, that

is Mr.. RIcuMoND; and wo will venture TO as
scrt, that neither Of thofo gentlemen have
written more on the subject, than he has.
Yet Mcssrs NILES and CAREY, have been
toasted and compmcnted in the 'Wes-

awarded hereafter.

EASTERN DouNpARY.-The Hon. ALBERT
GALLATIN, late Minister to the Court Of st.
james, and the Hon. WILLIAM p. PREBLE,
of Maine and formerly, member Of the United
States Congress, have been nominated by the
President as Agents. for prosecuting the desig-
nation and settlement of the line forming the
North Eastern Boundary Of the United States,
with powers to bring the existing controversy
between this country and Great Britain, to a
speedy settlement. The Office could not have
fallen on two individuals, more worthy or ca
pable, than the gentlemen nominated, and it is
TO be hoped that the nomination will be con-
frined. Mr.. Galatin, from his long acquain-
tance with public lie, added 10 his intimate
knowledge of all the treaties winch have been
formed between America and Great Britain,
is pre-cminen'ly qualified, and his associate.
the Hon. Mr.. PREBLE, is none the less defic-
lent. 1t is very important TO the interests Of
our eastern border settlers, tina; this contro-
versy be closed, and we can now, with some
kind Of confidence, congratulate them on the
probable issue Of so desirable an end. If the
opposition party, should not oppose the nomIn-
alton, it will probably be confirmed, before the
close Of the present session Of the National
Councils.

tFROM MEMBER OF CoNGREss.1

Washington, Saturday evening, May 10.
The Tariff Bill, has not yet been decided in
tho Senate. The speeches have been unusual
ly interesting, during the debate Mr.. Web
sfer has spoken two or three times and defen.
ded the interest Of New England with much
warmth. Mr. Paris, the new senator from
Maine. has also taken an active part in the
discussion, and has done all in his power to
prevent the bill from passing, in a shape to in
jure tho trade Of that state, but to no purpose.
If the bill passes, and have no doubt
the trade Of Maine will be ruined. Mr.. Rob-
bins made short but excellent speech against
the duty on Molasses. think the bill will be
decided on Monday, as the members appear
anxious to dispose Of it.

Mr.. Clay has not right to visit Philadelphia,
sick or well; that city. says Stephen, belongs
to Jackson and if he should chance to com.
on business or in pursuit of health, he must not
appear in the streets, but must keep close TO
his lodgings. Verify, Stephen Simpson would
prescribe MIR. Clay. and deny him the rights of
citizenship.
