 Permit call the attention of your readers to set of resolutions, which appeared in the last Hart ford Times," purporting to have been adopted "at meeting of the republicans of the town of Sharon."- Thus runs the first resolve: :-
 Unanipousy Resolved, "Tha: the present national administration, by their extravagant expenditure of
 the public money; by withholding documents from Cons sress, in the War Department relating to the "Sx Militia Men; by the appointment of John Scott, of Miss. and Daniel P. Cook of Illinois, to office after voting for J. O. Adams Presidenagans the wishes of
 their constituents and then withholding from Congress information touching the atter (and as have req to beeve) venal reward for his vote; have for feited their confidence in the integrity of their ad- ministration and earnestly invoke public inquiry
 into these things.-Here is least Jackson litera- ture"-and we boldly assert that it's parallel in gram and perspecuity, is not to be found, from Maine to Louisana always excepting the literary produc- tons ofthe "Chiefain" himseG This will better ap- pear from the resolution, emitting the charges. Thus -"Unanlmously Resolved That the present Nation al Administration have forfeited their confidence in the integrity of their administrations" Whose conf- dence Their own? This is indeed a new charge, and an evil which would undoubtedly be strangert to Jackson cabinet. Or does the sentence, by any possibility refer the confidence of the people in the integrity of this administration If their confidence has been torfeed, it must at time have existed ; but does not this admission contradict the very first article of the Jackson creed But every must be directed by his own circumstances.

We feel authorized to say. therefore, that the three charges in this Resolve, the most heinous sins which be laid to the charge of present rulers -of their importance and their truth leave your readers to judge. But word to the inrocation at the close of this resolve. I've earnestly roke pup lie inquiry into these things" Among the other ''thngs to which public inquiry is thus invoked, is broad charge that Daniel P. Cook, of Illinois, cas bribsd to vote for John @. Adams. Youhave chosen your suUJect WaTuy' Sehuemeh-'Dedu men IeiI ho tales" and Pistols. The that pray up- that mans body will cease when their banquet is exhausted but the reptile spirit, that to preserve it's own party existence, feed upon the reputation of the dead needs but the aid of asehood create it's own ahment.
 But to the second Resolution 'of the republicans of Sharon."-"Resolved, That we shall ever feel sim ceselv grateful to that man, who by hIs wisdom or prowess in thefed of battle, shall defend his country, our wives and children from the ravages ofa merci- less invader, whose avOwed object is "beauty and booy;" and equally deprecate the sentiment that sbould exclude that yun from office because he has
