The Litchfield County post., 1828-07-10

By Capt. James $. Ruggles.-.-Thc late State Flee don-Allhough detealed by m unprinciped coalition of the reuse d a parties we justly pride ourselves in the unbending integrity of such men as Nles and Crawford.
 Where were the 'sparties, thatthe ''refuse' should be allowed to perform such mighty deeds. We do not know about Mir. Crawford, but Judge Niles will un- occasionally be known to the people acGnddGe for office, for many years to come.
 By Mir. John Russel.--The Cabinet---WhO would think of employing Barbour manufacture their Cabinet Furniture, from such materials Clay and RuSh-es, moistened with Porter.
 Rather bad grammar for printer, but the honest zeal of the patriot against such vile as are above itaciscd rendered him regardless ofthat. The matter was all that he wanted.
 By Capt. Enoch Powers.---Our next President----- May he give the lie to the ten thousandfo foul aspersions winch have been copously lavished upon his char acter, by presiding with honor the councils and destinies of the nation than either of his prede cessors.
 We never heard of this Capt. Powers before; but if he thinks Jackson superior to all who have gone be- fore him, we ''reckon" he has got faith enough to able him to see through mlstone at least We might multiply these precious scraps but the a. bovewiIl suffice prove that the sentiment musthave
 
 huttered an elbow neighbour. i've wish that say- ings would really make these things so." But these not delivered for the benefit of those pres ent-no, there was more of good sense and beneVo-
 shed for the good of the poor deuded people of the state, who are grooming under the mis-rne ot officers oftheir own choice. How kind and disinterested.
 tmust be gratifying to Mir. Adams to know that his course is approved of and his supported by men whose character and patriotism have placed them at an almost infinite remove from any injurious effects from the vulgar attacks of disappointed office seekers. Chief Justice Marshall has pubckly deca- red himself the friend and supporter of MT. Adams and for this manly conduct has secured to himself
 full share of abuse from the Jackson presses To the testimony of this great and good man, which out weighs the whole force of the opposition, we have now to add that of his associate on the bencb Judge Washington, the favorite nephew and friend of the
 usrious Father of his Country. The letter dated at Mount Vernon, the residence and burial place O George Washington, and in an answer to the anti Jackson Committee of Correspondence, requesting that his name may be used as one of their num- ber:-
 MOUNT VERNON, June IT, 1928. l To John c. Haater, Esq. Chairman, Sc.
 Dear clr--l nave receiVeu your Ietter Oi me lOtH in which you communicate the unanimous wish of the Anti-Jackson corresponding Committee for Fairfax ! county, that would allow myself to be considered a member of that body. ] Believing that the utmost purity ofconduc attend l ed the election of Mr. John 0. Adams to the office which he now hods and has so ably administered. have never hesated, when fit occasion offered to express my sentiments in favor of hs reelection 10 the Presidential Chair should, ofcourse, accede to the wish of the Committee f,by doing soI could promote the object which they have in view. But expecting to leave this county not to return to tnnt after
 the election has passedI shall but nomnaily occupy place in that body, which might be beneiciallv filled ! by some efficient member.
 With due sense of the honor which the Committee have conferred upon me- and with sentiments of very great respect and esteem for yourself
 am dear sir, your most obedient servant, l BUSHROD WASHINGTON. I Now we know that with men determined to put the administration down, "though as pure as the an- gels" &c the testimony of thousand suchm would be like "casting pearls before swine;' but with the moderate and refectng portion ofcommunty,it it must and will have it's full and proper influence Such believe to be large majority of the freemen of Con- nectcut, and hence confidence that the splene,ic effusions ofthe Hartford Jacksonlans will excite their 1 disgust rather than their appreciation.
 In an late advertisement of the Commssary Gener- of Subsistence for the Troops of the United State offering to receive proposals for supply of provisions &c. for the different stations occupied by the troops,
 be delivered between the 1st of June 1829 and the lst of March, 1880, perceive that less an item
 than "91 100 gallons ofgood proof Whiskey" is toned among the other articles enumerated. The manufacture of this amount of whiskey will require a- bout 5O 900 bushels of Rye-it will fill 847 barrels & will give every soldier in the service atrfe twen- y gallons for the year, which it intended supply. When it is remembered that troops have but little hard service to perform tha of them live very
 idle life, ,and have at the me free the canteens kept in and around their barracks, for the sale of ardent spirits, we cannot but conclude that drunkenness is cherished and encouraged among them { by our government m most liberal manner. Perhaps
 it is necessary, for the preservation of the country 1 expeDd such an amount of money will be required for the purchase of the whskey, and encourage the dissipation it will carry in its train; but willing to trust individual rights and possessions in the safe keeping of private drunkard, we have - tie confidence in the 6rmness patriotism, and good faith of one made and kept thus by the fostering hand I ofgovernment. Many complaints have recently been l eased and emaciated drunkards, and we readily perceive that such be the fact likeness strong drink make short and desolating work with poor hu- l man nature, whether clothed in the uniform of na- ton, the rags of paupcrism. We know that custom seems to make 1t necessary that government should parOniZe and leave vrtne to take of itself ] but custom has never yet provided way whereby this
