are flattered, caressed, and amply compen-
stated 10 pecuniary way, by the leaders Of
the Jackson party at Washington. from the
Vice President down to the lick-spittle, Kre-

A few minutes previous to Duff Green's
attack upon Mr.. Sparhawk, he was seen fa-
miliarly conversing with the Vice President.
and it was generally understood that he then
communicated to him his intention to assault
the reporter. Afterthe assault, which was

was at the time in the act of dischsrging his
official duty-bearing a message from the
President to the Senate. In the rotunda Of
the capitol he is way-laid, beat and abused
by desperado.-LFor what Because the
Secretary, who is the son of the President,
said that, il Jarvis knew i'll what estimation
he was held in his fathers house, lie would
not suffer himself to be seen there. We be-
lieve that the motive which induced JARVIS TO
strike the Secretary was, he conceived it
would be throwing stigma upon the char
acter Of the family of Mr.. Adams, and add
ing laurel to his own cap, for having beat
the son of the President. If such a mo-
tive can stimulate such men to such deeds,
we may shortly expect to hear Of the Presi-
dent himself, having been collared, and beat
by some more aspiring hero from the Jack
son school, who may be anxious to win
new laurels and immortalize his name-this
however had better be reserved for that
great prototype of excellence, General Jack

! These reflections occurred to me on reading
an article in the Advertiser of the-week before
last, in which our scientific little world is much
applauded at the expenseofits reputation some
years since. Not being able to do away the
chillincss which followed its perusaI, by philo-
sophizing on the effects of wounded self love,
pride, and patriotic Jealousy. was led to the
conclusion that the writer had erred in his ret
respective view of our Borough. Correspond
ing to the time in which he finds us an "igno-
rant bigotted class" suffering all the knowledge
to be lavished on benches, my chronological chart
bears the name of Stevens, with his three cours-
es of lectures on Astronomy, and also an account
of some lectures on Natural Philosophy. Sure
ly our bench must excel in wisdom, if all these
lectures were confined there. But, perhaps &C.
alludes more particularly to one gentleman af-
flicted with a grammatical 'mania," who, it will
be confessed, failed to excite much tsibio;eeE

had large share in it, for which he deserves
much credit. Our author says, it was talked Of

that the hand ofthe influential was not upon it
till within year. Its remote origin was doubt
less at homes the establishment of sister insti'
tuition at Westminster furthered the scheme, and
the lectures of John Finch enabled us to unite
our efforts in a focus, and here the organization

In relation to Botany, c. is perhaps unap-

cultivation Of that science, And am authorized

by offering himself to join in a botanical excur.

System this plan will be as acceptable as one
proposed by Finch, or any Ather valuable exot-
ic. The ''botanical class" promises much, tho
yet in its infancy, and will probably receive some
attention from the ladies'. @.

We lay before our readers, to-day, let
ter from g eneral jackson in reply to the
request Of the Senate Of Indiana, that he
would express, erhLcitiy, his sentiments
on the subject of internal improvements and
the protection Of the domestic industry Of
the country. The reader will, on the first
glance, be forcibly struck at the evasive
manner in which the general answers the
questions. MY opinions" he says, ''dt PRES
emf are precisely what they were in 1928
and "a, when they were communicated by
letter to DR.. Coleman Of North Carolina
Why does not Gen. jackson state "erhiieit-
~" without referring to his letter to DR..
Coleman or any one else, what his views
are in relation to the two important subjects
presented to him. One would suppose chat
he does not know what his views really are;
but he recollects having once expressed
them, since when he has not changed his
mind; and consequently his opinions are "at
present precisely what they were then"
Gen. jackson is asked "to state EXPLICITLY
whether he favors that construction of the
Constitution of the United States, which
authorizes Congress- to appropriate money
for the purpose of making internal introUe
nienfs in the several States. and whether he
is in favour of such system of protective
duties for the benefit Of American manu-
features, as will, in all cases where the raw
material. and the ability to manufacture it,
exist in our country, secure the patronage
of our own manufactures, to the exclusion
Of those Of foreign countries, and whether,
il elected President of the United States, he
will, in his public capacity, recommend,
foster, and support the American System"
Now, let the reader place these questions
by the side Of his answer, and compare
them, and he will unhesitatingy say that,
the Senate of Indiana is now as much In the
dark in relation to his real sentiments, a.
it was before it addressed him.
