modern style Of poetry, and its inft rlori'y, when

"Wi,h regard to poetry in general am con-

/ am the more confirmed in this, by having
lately gone over some of our classics, particu-

Moore's poems, and my Own, md some Others,

such dishonorable means, for the purpose OF
inJuring political antagonist, were eagerly
caught up and disseminated from one end OF
the country TO the Other. The poison had its
desired effect. Many honest but credulous
people were deceived, the enviols were glad of
this opportunity to commence their opposition,
10 4 man, whose influence they desired to de-
stroy. But the great mass Of the people were
not yet satisfied. They demanded proofs, Of
the base crimes which were charged upon
their favouri,e. The accusers evaded and
shuffled-but public opinion forced them at
last 80 the sticking point" The long delay;
ed and much talked Of "proof' was at length
produced. And what did it amount to! The
witnesses failed absolutely utterly failed to es.
,sblish a single item of The accusation, and
proved clearly and completely proved the cul-
rability ofthe accusers. We beg all candid
and unpre JUDGED men, 20 recollect these facts
as they have transpired. We have run over
them rapidly, but we believe correctly. Thus
foiled in every attempt, it seems that nothing
but The deacliest personal hostility could nave
Induced them 10 adopt The course which they
have followed. In defiance Of particle Of
proof and in contradiction Of their own wits
nesses, they still continue to rei,eraie the stale
charges, and ring the changes upon The old cry,
OF corruption and intrigue.
Ii is not wonderful that the opponents Of
Mr.. Clay should be astonished at his present
frmness and in,repidity; and the perfect indif
ference with which he receives their rude as
saul,s, has rendered them absolutely furious.
We gave specimen Of the new manner of at
tack yesterday. The sentiments uttered BY
the Evening Post, are re>echoed by all the op-
position prints in the Union. AS their cause
becomes more desperate, the more desperate
are their exer,ions, and in proportion as Mr..
Cloy's fame becomes brighter, the more earn
est will they be in their exerlions to dim its

COMMUNICATED.

The following decision, which in its princi-
pie is important TO Creditors. was made at the
last Court, Tor this county. a suit was brought
in the name Of the United States, for the use
of John Simms, agains. Samuel Cranston, late
a Constable of this county and his securities.
The object Of the suit was TO recover from
the securities, the sum Of S25 SIS cts. with in
,eres'. The facts of the case were, that, John
Simms had put into the hands Of Samuel
Cransrun, as Constable, note of VIM. Gluas,
for the above SUN; Cranston received the mo>
new Of Gluas, without any legal process against
Gluas, but did not pay 1t over 10 simms, the
Creditor. On this statement OF the case, the
Court determined, that the receipt OF the mo-
new from the debtor, BY Samuel Crans:on as
Constable without execution, did not make his
securities in his official bond, liable. This de-
cision is one of moment, to those who are IN
the habit OF employing constables 10 collect
their debts and who may have been under the
impre ssion that the securities OF the Consta'
bes are liable for monies collected % them
