AS We expected, the certificates Published,

witness, Downing, who fabricated pael =.
lies concerning Mr.. Clays connection with

as will appear from the following:

pose the base frauds and pretenees used in Dro.

the unholy and wicked purposes for which i

Several days before the publication ,,lnd.,

From the Maryiander.

The active. partizans Of General Jackson. seem |
determined to impose the belief upon those who
have not had opportunity OF studying his charac ter
that he is second Washington. With all their ef
frontery, however, they have not been able to show
in what the resemblance consists.
Gen. Washington never charged his country dol
lar more for his services than his actual expenses
while engaged in her employment; and retired to
his estate as soon as the objects for which he drew
his sword were secured.
General Jackson says in his letter to Gen. Swart-
won't, that he retired after the peace but let see
in what manner he retired. lie did, to be sure,
leave the army, and retire to his farm in 1915,
where he remained until 1921 But during the
whole of that period, he was receiving the full pay
and emoluments ola Major General, although, with
the exception of his campaigns against the Greeks,
and in Florida, he was not at all engaged in actual
service While General Jackson was residing at
home, attending to his own private concerns. he
drew upwards of FORTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS from the public Treasury. Parts of this
amount were made up in charges of rent for his dwell
ling house, and for the hire of his own horses and
servants engaged in his private affairs.
WASHINGTON, says Ihatcher'S Military Jour
nal, after the capitulation of CORVALLIS and his ar
my, ordered that all those who were under arrest
or in confinement, should be Immediately pardonet
and set at liberty.
GENERAL JACKSON, fourteen da 5s after de
ieating the Brtsh--on the very day of his triumph
ant entrance into the city of New Orleans--signe,
ali order approving the sentence of Court Martial
which consigned SIX of his then late brother soldier
to an ignomiuous DEATH and ONE HUNDREi
AND EIGHTY SEVEN others chiefly to a mos
tllsgraceiul punishment--to have their hair shave
ciosc of their heads, and be drummed out OF CAM
SVe will not dwell upon this contrast but asl
wherein the resemblance is to be found.

From the Trenton True american.

Much complaint and noise is made by the oppos-
ton editors because Mr.. Pinckney editor ofthe Ma
rylander, an administration gentleman, has had the
bodness and audacity to enter the Office of Ste
phen Simpson, editor of the Philadelphia Mercury,
jackson gentleman, (who had vilifed Mr.. Pinck-
ney) with pistols, and to challenge him to mortal
combat. Mr.. Simpson, who supports Gen. Jackson
for his military virtues and private acts of heroism
(coud not relish the presentation of plstol and
appeared to have bad appetite for fghting,) yet
he condemns in the most pointed manner Mr.. Pinck-
neys visit, and bellows most Justify against the act,
as being that of ru6ian.-Now, we do not think
that MIR. Simpson has any right upon his own prin-
ciples to complain. Mr.. Pinckney had the example
of Gen. Jackson for what he did, when the latter
rushed into tavern at Nashville, in broad day,
and with his gallant companion, Coffee, and others,
presented pistols and fired hem too, at the Messrs.
Bentons, who were sitting peacefully there. For
this gallant act among others, Gen. Jackson is to be
made President, if possible. And yet Mr.. Simpson
has the temerity TO find fault with another gentle
man, for doing an act less Uioent than that done by
the Hero, whom Mr.. Simpson, with all his soul
might and strength, supports. Verify, these Jack
son editors do not adhere TO their creed and prac
tcal applications Of Gen. Jackson's doctrines ant
doings to Themselves is spurned at as nolerable ant
wicked; thus acting, they dlshonor their hero, wh'

General Juckson's Scholarship. p.-Some days ago
we took occasion to remark upon the studied at
tempt at deception practised by the combination
presses in representing General Jackson as the au-
thor OF the addresses put into his mouth at the re-
cent political mummery at New Orleans; thereby
seeking to produce the impression that he is capa-
Bile of writing and speaking, not only accurately
and well, but even eloquently-for there are pas
sages in these addresses of real eloquence That
this is deception knowingly attempted, upon the
honesty and good faith of the people of these Uni
ted States, is obvious to those who have oppOrtun
ties of hearing General Jackson CONVERSE or seen
any of his acknowledged and unquestonable pri-
vate letters or other writings. 1t is also manifest
from comparison with some Of his equally unques-
toned public writings, such the reply to the nd
vidua who presented to the Gen. a pair Of boots
which the chief sayshe will lay up as a mirror to
stimulate to future deeds Of patriotism. A recent
number Of the Washington Journal furnishes still
notable instance Of the scholarship of this can
ddate for the Presidency, in the shape OF note to
its Editor on the subjectof some controversial pam
phet. Here it is uerba,in, Merdtin and spellatin,.
" Yo the Editors Of The Washington Journal:
When the midnight assassns plunges his dagger
to the heart Il rifles your goods, the turpitude of
this scene looses all its horrors, when compared with
the act of the secrete assasins pOnard levelled
against fenal character by the hired minlons Of pow
err"
Now, we think it rather hard that in county
whose proud and just boast it is that common school
education is more universally dffused than in any
other the candidate for the chief magistracy should
be deficient even in the elements of orhography and
grammar.

BLOODY MURDER.

Mr.. Clay declined continuing the publication of
the laws of Congress to two or three of his most in
veterate caumniators-this by the Opposition is de-
nounced as most horribly iniquitous atfar.-But
now for scene in which there is neither blood and
nlurtter.
The Jacksonians have majority of the Senate of
the United States-that majority has appointed
Duff Green, the most abusive editor in the country,
its Printer, and thus taken it away from Gales aud
Seaon, without cause, who always have treated
that body with the utmost respect. This job is
worth twenty times over, all that Mr. Clay pays to
every printer in the employ Of the Government -
But this act on the part of Jackson Senate is pure
and patriotic and just as it should be- while the same
act Of Mr. Clay, although he had just cause for it,
isjust the reverse This is the consistency ofJack
sonians.

SOME CAUSES.

Hhat ,Uere The probable reasons, it may be asked,
achy Mr.. Crawford did not bslieve Gen Jachsor's
charge against MesSrs. adams and Clayl
As it related to Mr.. .adanas, he knew that his
character was far superior, in all respects to that
of his accusers and that, during life, he had ne
yer solicited an office, done any thing to obtain
the interest of an individual, community. or the
people at large, unless by constant, faithful, and
able discharge of duty.
He knew, that Mr.. Clay was eminently qualified
to discharge the duties Of the Secretary OF States
Office aud that, therefore, his appointment would
be suitable and satisfactory to the American people
mot blinded by party prejudice, nor influenced by
the views Of restless asprants.
As it related to Mr. Clay, Mr.. Crawford knew
that he could not vote for the General after having
expressed such sentiments respecting him, and OF
mere military men in general, as he did in his speech
on the Seminole question and knowing that the
General had not the qualifications for civil affairs,
and that he had been guilty of acts which however
they might be pardoned, should he remain in private
life,) the nation ought not to be called upon to
sanction, or pass over, when he offered himself for
the first office within the gift of the people.
| find aohy. it may be further asked, does Mr..
Cra,gtord congratulate Mr.. Clay on his triumphant
aaswer which the Jackson papers in this state have
never published-even though one of them pre-
tends that the book is evidence against the author
Being satisfied himself. Mr. Crawford supposed
that this answer would satisfy others, who were MT
so we'll acquainted with Messrs. Adams and Clay,
Delaware journal., 1828-03-11

never suffers an insult to pass nnrunished- mr.
simpson ought not to complain, as every murmuf
against Mr. rinckney drives dagger TO the heros $
heart. If Gen. Jackson is TO be made President
for shooting at Il man in open day, when sitting
peacefully IN Il tavern, Mr.. Pinckney is certainly
entitled to the office of Vice President for pre-
senting Mr.. Simpson with pistol in his office, and
challenging him to fight 1t is understood, however
that the civil authority of Philadelphia have inter-
posed, and bouud the two editors over to keep the
peace, each inthe SUN of $4,000. This reference
of the case to the civil authority. is wrong in prn-
cple and little less than rebellion against the jack
son code of law, as the affair was purely military
they ought to have been tried under the second sec
ton, and the court martial at Mobile that ordered
the six militamen to be shot, should have been de-
tailed for the purpose.

"Western New York is constantly making the

zeal and enthusiasm now pervades the country.

ment to an Administration that is upholdlng the hon

hundred electors, not hundred, If even seventy

lion. Our county will give at least 5000 majority
against the jackson ticket for Elector and Governor
These facts are indisputabe. The few. very few,
jackson men we have among US, are forced to admit
their truth. The county Of Erie is full as strong
for the Administration as Monroe. Indeed their
will scarcely be the show of opposition in Genesee,
Chaauque. Cattaragus, Erie, Orleans, Monroe Liv-
ingston, or Ontario and there will be triumphant
maiorities for us in Seneca, Stuben. Wayne, and
Iompkns.
