the artificial harbour or breakwater OF
the mouth ofthe majestic Delaware, and
the encouragement of domestic industry,
proclaim the wise and bene6cent acts
OF the government lodder than words
and will contribute to the happiness and
prosperity Of the nation, when the bick,

them in Congress are forgotten.
broad, from England, $l,aOo,oo0 has
been obtained under Mr.. Adams Ad
ninistration, andlodged in the pockets
of our citizens, as an indemni ication
for slaves taken from our waters, during
the late war from the Russian govern
ment Mr.. Clay has obtained 100000
rubles, in one case, and $4,000 in a
mother, for injuries beginning In Mr..
Jeferson's administration; and from
Denmark about 100000. When we
wish to estimate the real merit Of the
negotiations of the Secretary of State
in procuring all these important pecu-
mary adjustments, we must recollect
that most of these claims have beer re.
sisted through successive administra-
tons, and that in some cases, when the
present cabinet came into power, were
entirely hopeless: Had jackson been
President, there is just cause to appre-
bend that neither internal improvement
nor manufactures would have been pro-
NOTED, nor single dollar Of indemni
ticaton for spoiliations from foreign ma
tons, have reached our treasury; his
violent temper, we have reason to sup
pose, would have prompted him to en-
force cur demands on foreign powers
at the mouth of the cannon, instead of
that mild aud concilatory manner, which
characterizes all Mr. Clay's correspon-
dence on the subject. Which is best,
let the people decide We the People.
The New Orleans Argus, of the 18th
OF May, holds this unequivocal language
towards zone of the Louisiana pack"
whose public acts cannot be misrepre-
sented---
'"There is person Of this State, seek
ing for public support, who has appro-
prfated to his private account, more
than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS-Whs endeavoured to have
his distinguished brother-in. law appoin-
ted Judge of the United States District
Courf!-Who succeeded in so changing
the proceedings OF that court as to Sc
cure to himself, in case of need, all ad
vantages-Who aiterthe success Of this
latter effort, endeavored to obtain,
| Through the aid of bis brother MEM
bers Of Congress Who did not see
through his tricks,) the passage of laws
to submit the land claims of the Baron
Bastrop and the Marquis JMcisoa Rouge,
In both which claims he is deeply inter
ested,) to the decision of jury in thi:
court Who undertook to establish, be-
fore Congress,the unjust claim Of Beau
marchcis against the United States for
upwards of THREE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARSl--And, lastly, who offered,
if TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS,
cash, was deposited to his credit In the
Branch Bank OF this city, to break the
charter of the Navigation Company bur
who has since turned tail and espoused
the interests of that company.
This man is EDWARD IIVINGS-
TON!
Comment is unnecessary. We must
have Representative to Congress who
possesses a higher sense of moral prin-
ciple, and who does not mingle private
views with public interests, and who can
"stand by has orn acts" in the worst
of times"
The Knoxville Tennessee, Enqui-
rer, boldly charges Gen. jackson with
going snacks, to very large amount,
during the Creek campaign, with Messrs.
Pope and Braham, who were he con.
tractors; and further that the General
signed abstracts for complies rations,
during that campaign, when there was
not one instance where complete ra-
tons was issued. The officers are call
ed upon to testify 20 this fact These
charges are preferred under the imme-
date eye of the Hon. Senator White,
and the White washing Committee. The
writer de6es contradiction. Byasingu-
lar process, it further appears hat the
government paid twice for alarse guam
tity of provisions.
