Nays letters, and the important ans con clusivc
nature OF the evidence about to IL adduced, VIII
form sufficient apology 10 the reader ter our ic

G'n Jackson is accused Of having acted dis
honorabiy on the ground. There are but t,vo ~
ing witnesses of that tansaciion--Gcu jackson
and Corbin Lee. Its the testimony of the latter
thrt we are about to introduce; and every crctm
stance connected with il, adds to its weight and
authenticity. Mr.. Lee was the friend OF Dcken-
son, and cannot, theretort, he srspectci OF partial

ground, and was an eyewitness OF the whole
transaction He, consequently, speaks OF his own
knowledge.

TIE DAY.
The TWELFTH OF SEPTEMBER IS n day
Notwithstanding what Mr.. Jchn quincy .4Ia,ns
N said to the contrary, gorous!y associated with
the character OF the American Militia and the q;
tizen Soldiers OF Baltimore. If the character niv
en- by John quincy 4idmS TO the conduct OF cur
Militia on that day be true, then the beautiful
Monument, which has been erected 10 the n,emorv
oil those who fell in deten, OF our city is a satire
upon ourselves, and the annual celebrations of the
day, mere vain boasting.
The friends of J9hn Quincy AdGnls cannot cele-
brate this day without reflection upon him: and
such is their newborn horror Of every ttlin,. mi
fary, that we suppose they would as soon retrac:
all their villanous calumnes ofANDREV JACK
oS-S the great CIuZcn Soldier, as fire cannon on
The Twelfth. Well, be it so. Let them erect
monuments TO the mercenary substitute HARRIS
and his associates in MUFFIN and Dies ERTION
while we pay hOnors TO the memories of those
who fought and died for their country
