Wiiiam G.. Hammond. The following
toreibie aud conclusive argument defending
Gen. Jackson from tho charge Of Adultery is
extra ctcd from some romarks made by Mr.
Hammond a lawyer Of Newport, a, Jackson
meeting in that town
General Jackson was no adulterer, and this
was plain to every man Of common sense, and
every lawyer, for the General was at the time
a single man, and Robard's wife a marriedIwo-
man."
This is conclusive, at once-Gcn. Jackson
did not commit adultery because Mrs. Robards
was o married woman! This Mr.. Hammond
must be wonderful man and great lawyer.
no ono can doubt after hearing that he has
used such sage and learned argument. We
would not doubt the authority laid down by
Mr.. II. but we are anxious 10 know where he
obtained so much information at SO early an
age. 1t is important that no should mmed-
ateIy explain himself to the whole world. He
ough to do il for his own famc-a man who
can prove that General Jackson did not COM
nit adultery with Mrs. Robards is worthy of a
high station in the eyes of the whole nation,
more particularly if he does it in legal way!
We think Mr.. Hammond ought as duty to
himself and friends Immediately communicate
his opinion to the Hermitage-It would be
agreeable news 10 the "Farmer Of Tennessee ~
and he would feel under lasting obligations 10
Mr.. H. and we presume he would appoint him
one Of the "White Washing Committee" We
have no doubt aflcr this specimen Of his
adroiinoss, that he would make an active and
influential assistant TO that body. We should
beg of him, however,n not to jump into the Cum
berland river and drown himself, as the Com
mitiee's former Secretary did, for he would
be loss TO the State Of Rhode Island and we
should sincerely depore his untimely fate.

0G-Mr. HAzARD.-wo regret that Mr..
Hazard should have thought ft in his remarks
yesterday in the House of Representatives, TO
attack one Of our most distinguished statesmen
"a gentleman who is the pride Of Rhode isl
and, and justly The admiration of tho whole
nation Mr.. Burgess. during his Congressional
career. has ably defended tho interests of
Rhode Island on the floor Of Congress. He
has not only defended tho character of our
State, but he has defended New-England, and
VIC doubt whether the people Of this State are
prepared TO hear hlm traduced and abused in
her Legislative Hall. Mr.. Hazards only OBJ
lection to Mr.. Burgess, appeared to bo in con-
sequence Of Mr.. B. having made speeches.
THIS is a strong objection, to come from a man
who is so fond Of displaying his eloqucnce as
Mr.. Hazard.

IT, CHANCELLOR LIvINGsToN.-Wc re-
gret TO say, that the steam packet Chancellor
Livingston, met with an accident on her last
hip to New York, which will probably lay her
up for the season. On Saturday last while
leaving the harbor Of Newport, her piston,
cylinder, and gearing were broken, or SO inju-
red that she had to return to that port. The
Chancellor Livingston came on to tho line last
spring, and has during the summer done an ex-
collen; business. The politeness and attention
Of Captain Coggeshall. has gained him the
good will. and esteem OF all who have taken
passage in his boat or with whom he has be-
come acquaintcd--as has also her vigilant and
skllful pilot, Captain William Walden. The
Chancellor will, we understand, be towod to
New York, where she vii! undergo thorough
repairs, and take her station on the line early
in the spring.

we hope TO sec cvery man at his post and re.
