inute, sout, aEd west, or to faction, that ty

-. The people OF Pennsylvania cannot mistake
the question before them il the question is con-
nected with the tariff then they have the vote and
tie written declaration OF General jackson on one
side, and the utter silence Of Mr.. Adams on the
other Butt Is not the question of tariff that is
now to be decided; matters Of higher moment are
! 10 be settled. We are not enquirinG whether this
or that particular policy is TO be pursued--but
,ohether the constitution and the union are to e-
tsf: to. is idle to pretend that the constitution or
1 the union can exist il the people shall sanction
the sale OF the Presidency in the Capitol: Who
will not DESPAIR of republic if the people shall
calmly look on, whilst their dearest rights are
STAGED upon political gaming table, to become
the prize OF the most desperate dealer in corrup-
iion' THIS is the question, and not local or sec
tonai policy, which is now to be determined: and
Il II is true, Mr.. Jefferson asserts that to pre-
serve the constitution itself. the law may on an
emergency be over-leaped, who is not prepared TO
| make local or personal sacrifices 10 preserve the
constitution? il would be poor consolation to have
tariff without constitution or to maintain To-
cal policy without bond of national union: but
,c'sh the constitution and union, ace shall pre-
se'ce all that IS dear to man.
Respectfully Yours, SC.

information in regard to Gen. Jackson and Colonel

mr., circumstance that occurred in the wear 1905
COL Burr being then in Nashville, L think for the
second time, lodged at the same house at which
was myself a boarder. One morning, on retiring
rom the breakfast table, he and myself happened
10 approach pretty near 10 each other when he ac-
coSted me, and said he wanted a confidential YOUNG
man 10 carry message Tor him TO Chill;cothe and
asked, whether would not undertake the Journey:
replied that would go, provided he would OBJ
tam the appreciation Of my friends and pet m, re-
leased from engagement 4 was then under To n
mercantile house at Nashville. He requested me
TO designate a friend, when | mentioned General
jackson. lew days after this conversation, Col
Burr told me that he had seen Gen. jackson and
that the General had said TO HAM 1 coui,! not 90.
IL short time thereafter, 1 General jackson
who observed TO me Colonel Burr had spoi,en 10
num- hut that he would strongly recommend il TO
me, TO have nothing TO do with him The General
remarked, that he once believed that Col Burr
ineditated nothing against the integrity OF the
ohion but that lie had reason to change that o8a-
ION ne General went on TO say that gentle
man who fie supposed had the confidence Of Col
Burr, and who had been ut Nashville, in the all

thai he had received no authority from Col Burr
TO make such communication, but that il was =
of his own.
