years bgck-layer by trade, lac raised Lmseli
from that most respectable but humble situation, by
The force of fair and strong mind to a seat in
the Legislature of Ohio. He was there called the
Jefferson Republican, i'll complimcnt'to his s;aunch
adhesion to the Republican party, and was chosen
Speaker of the House of Delegates of that State
In due time, and repeatedly, he returned to Con-
gross IN the most f,ttcring manner. In Ohio and in
Congress he HAS sustained himself with credit though
having 10 cope with the best talents of the land and
never until he moved for the publication of the
documents concerning the execution of the six
militia men, was a syllable brcathcd that we either
saw or heard of, against his integrity man or
Representative; And Is Tint an act which is to incur
the forfeiture of honest namee Is n man to be
pronounced INFAMOUS, becau.a upon his respon-
sbiity az Representative ofthe People he exercises
MS ''ndouoteI privilege of asking have published
documents affecting the trial and execution of six of
his countryman' The House of Representatives
ordered the publication of the Documents. If there
Is any guilt, they who granted the application, are
~ guilty as Mr.. Sloane who prcferredt Why does
not Mr.. Curr, and his coadjutor in this city, pro-
nounce Congress INFAMOUS, for having those
Documents published Il is upon such grounds as
these, that man Is to be pronounced infamous; for
such and no greater, is the head and front Of Mr.
Sloane's ofen1iug, as far as it has been specified
The Republican has certainly the right to think
and to call Mr.. Stevenson, the most honorable and
verac'ors." We certainly not TO gaillsay the
compliment. Bat we would have it remember, that
DIR. Sloane has sustained fair character in the
world, as Mr.. Stevenson any other man, and not
pronounce sentence too hastily, upon I'll. matter now
in Issue between them.
The Fittsburg Mercury saws, that the Senior Ed
Tor of this paper charged the Government in his ac-
esnn for carrying dispatches,
To 20 bottles of Champagne 81 per bottle, SIS 90
do Madeira do 36 90
| This is intended Offset against Gen. .!sckson'H
bills for wines and cordiss, when Governor OF Flori-
do. 1t il lie of course, but that makes difference
provided tine Editor OF the Mercury can influence q
few voters by telling it. We have no question that
for such object, he would lie from sunrise to
sunset.
We asl; it favor Of the Ptsburg Statesnlan and
Gazette, to publish this contradiction ofthe fsehood
and do rot exchange with the Mercury present
request to tho Editor, that lie will recant the lie
| he has invented and published
| Pennsylvania EIections.-rhe elections for Con
gress and the State Legislature, occurred in Penn
sylvania Tao sday last. We have received returns
only from the three Districts embraced by PIiladel-
pha city and county. We regret to state that Mr.
Sergeant has lost his election by 800 siority. Mr.
Sergeant is man of great ability, and viii leave q
gap in tie House of Representatives. His successful
rival is Fcderalist of the Old School, and WAS one
of the midnight Judges otthe olden time. Neverthe-
less, certain consistent democrats will over his
election as prodigious triumph of principle. 1t will
be seen that the other jackson candidates. Miller
and Sutherland, reelected by large majorities.
Pennsylvania votes by General Ticket and polls
10000. The election i'll Philadelphia therefore is
not decisive otth Presidential struggle in that State.
| We shall hear from the interior BY Wednesday,.
