Here we see Pennsylvania, tban whom no State

on the g dDa6uiut0Ty" and - locomotive iaculty''
OF this railway, to run lateral road Pittsburg
provided IT should not terminate there Pennsyl-
vanla does the very dYeGded thing which YOU
guard us against. Yet, although she won't 'stro,,-

and has, quite recently, authorised the spending
some millions in improvements.-V eTily,

After the rccesseS of the domestic circle have
been violated, and Mrs Jackson has been rudely
attacked and basciy calumniated-aiter forgery
and fabrication have been employed to blacken the
character of Jackson we need not be surprised at
any thing. Every engine is to be pat in rcquisi-

The g Baltimore Marylander'' of the 22d ultimo,
puts forth the following paragraph:

The Coalition prints have bounced upon this pa-
ragraph-and among them, one in this CITY
which has called forth, iIcm the Chief Justice, the
following card:

"SIR: perceive in your paper OF to-day q,g,-.
tation from the Maryiander, OF certain exnressons
asciibed TO respecting the pending election for
the Presidency of the United States, which think
1t my duty to di+ayow. Holding the situation do
under the government of the United States |
have thought il right to abstain from any public
declarations on the eleciion and were it otherwise
should abstain from conviction that my opinions
would have weight
admit having said in private that though |
had not voted siIce the establishment of the
general ticket system, and had believed that ne
yer should vote during its continuance | might

JOHN H. PLEA5ANTs, ESQ"
As 70 the 6 charge Of corruption" we know that
very different opinions entertained. Mir NJ
does not believe in it, There are many who did
not originally believe it-But circumstances have
TRANSFERRED which have called up the strongest sus-
pcions-and with some, the strongest belief The
negotiation between Mes5rs. Adams & Webster
cannot be denied. If MIR. A. could do the one
would he not stoop to the other? Mr. Clay has
not met the accusation in way to remove suspi-
cion. His pamphlet blnks lhe charge. His evil
dence rests upon special pleading. His friend, Mr.
Watkins, confines his intcrTogatOrics 10 two cases
leaving the third utterly untouched-thatis 10
say, he does not call out the witnesses to say
whether Mr. Adams or his friends made any sort
Of propositions TO Mr.. Clay or his friends. The tes-
timony elected before the Senate Of Kentucky
throws additional suspicion upon the matter Mr.
Blair, III particular, will not reyo y what he knows
and seems unable 10 contradict what is inferred
from his silence TO the prejudice Of Mir Clay-Why
does not Mr.. G. call him uut--or publish his own
letter TO Mr.. Blair! But passing these things over .
it still remains TO be seen how far our syfnp1thy for
men unjustly accused should prompt a free people
70 prefer those persons, and clothe them with tba
highest public tru5is-and if the rule shoulJ he a
right one, how far the unjust prosecutions extend
ed TO Gen. Jackson might not equally ontile him
10 the benefit of the rule.
