jackson and B,ur.-The evidence Of
full understanding between these dlstln-
guished gentlemen in 1867, IS daily
developing. The following article from
the Sciota Gazette, furnishes another link
in the chain. Why has Gen. Jackson
never sought the investigation rendered
necessary by Judge Williams letter! Dld
he not know as early as lst February or
earlier, that there was such letter, and
the charge which it contained!
We have been much entertained at the
course of the jackson prints upon the sub
iect of this charge. They who have al
all other times, been so forward to repel
the most distant msinuation against their
Idol. and to answer II with loud re-crml-
nation, have with two or three exceptions,
on this occasion been mute. The Baltl-
more Republican. and the Charlottesville
Advocate are the principal exceptions
the first of which had not discretion
enough to observe the prudent example set
bv the leaders, and the latter Of which,
not disingenious enough to affect to treat
p charge of this character with indifference.
Within a few days the Telegraph has con-
descended to notice it, and hopes to stIhe
all further inquiry by quoting letter OF
Mr.. Jefferson coeval with Buu's cOnsplr-
acy, in which some complimentary things
are said of Gen. Observation-Disclosures with
the hope of winning Jackson from his dan
oerous connexions-a hope which may
have been realized. But the dictum of
Mr.. Jefferson nor any one else, can hard
Iy be excepted to weigh down facts decl-
sive in their character, and notorious as
the sun in the Heavens. The friends of
jackson must take the ground we pointed
out to them-acknowledge his co-opera-
ton in Bun's views, but deny that these
views. extended farther than to seize upon
the Banks at New Orleans, and with the
money thus furnished, to conquer the
Spanish Province of Mexico, and there
set up the standard of independent sOyer-
eighty.
We believe that this affair will now be
sifed-a course certainly which
Gen. Jackson and his friends, if he is in-
nocent, ought not to shrink from. The
following is the article fromthe SciOta Ga
zette.
In addition to the above inconuovert-
HE evidence of JaCksOn's COnneXIOn with
Bun's conspiracy, we give the following
extract from a letter dated "Nashyllle,
Tennessee, 9th March, 1928" to a gen
tleman of this city.
1.-THE following is the charge made by
Judge Williams one of the Circuit Judges
of this State, of undisputed veraclty; VIZ:
THAT GENERAL JACKSON WAS
IN BURR'S CONSPlR-
ACY. AND THAT HE OFFERED
HIM Williams THE POST OF CAP
TAIN IN BURR'S ARMY, and said
he, L WILL LIVE OR DIE BY
THAT"
THE rumor reached Virginia, and has
created strong excitement with the friends
of the General. Mr.. Donaldson, his
nephew, passed through Carthage on his
way to Judge Williams Circuit, to get
him to contradict the report, but failed, as
it was whispered on his return" If in
these surmises and extracts we have done
Gen. Jackson injustice, "the gentleman
can explain"

MR. ADAMS.

The following sketch Of MIR. Adams IS
given by letter writer in the Trenton
True American.
Amongst the plainest and most unos-
tentahous of the people to be seen in this
city, are the President and heads Of the
department. Mr.. Adams, as usual taking
his morning walks at early day, around
the capitol, and might from his unaffected
simplicity of appearance, q his republican
habits, be mistaken for the plainest farmer
Of our State. Every morning before
sunrise he issues forth from what with pro-
priety might be called a palace, and walks
and rides with the plainest citizens of the
place. At my visit to his house, / found
that care and incessant labor, had wrought
some changes in his appearance, even
within the last year; but he IS still the plain
social and unsophisticated republican, that
he has ever been. Every thing around
him bears evidence Of close attention 20
business; books, documents and papers,
are piled upon his tables; his moments are
occupied with the great affairs of the state
an unremltted attention to the national
concerns marks every act of the great and
enlightened man, who rules the destines of
the American people. He received us
with the utmost cordially, and manifested
the most polite attention while we remain
ed, which was but a short time, as we
feared to interrupt the regular arrange
ment Of his business, which is a perfect
system. AS we went out nearly dozen
gentlemen of highly respectable appear
auce were waiting their turn to enter.
thought as | gazed on, and conversed with
this great and good man, what but the spir-
it Of demon could assal his highly excel
lent reputation.
MR.. CLAY.
The same writer thus speaks Of Mr..
Clay.
"This day, alone, paid a visit to the
Secretary Of State, Mr. Clay, at his office.
He bears marks of impaired health, ow-
ing TO his excessive attention to the pub
lie business with which he is entrusted.
he IS truly one Of the most interesting
men in the world. His manners are plain
and polite. He is free and unreser-
we'd IN conversation; completely republican
in his manners, as he has always been in
principle, alive TO the honor and glory of
his country, and devoted to It's best inter-
ests. His enemies knowing his well
earned popularity and his transcendent
talents, have long since marked him out

The United States Telegraph, publish
ed at Washington, by Green and Jarvis,
is a disgrace to the press and a dishOnour
70 tbe country. 1t abounds with the most
shameful ISLANDERS expressed in the grossest
LANGUAGE, and with the least regard to de-
cencv. The number of the 18th instant,
intimate that Mr.. Clay's illness IS Produc-
ed by intemperance. A remark that none
hut fbe most vile and worthless could be
capable ofmaking. It is base, contempt
bic. and cowardly; wicked, Ullanous, and
distardlv, and we are surprised that its au
tbors receive countenance from any man,
and more surprised that they should be
considered by the leaders and chiefs OF the
Jackson party at Washington, as worthy
oftheir high favour and confidence.
The same paper also states that Mr..
CLAWS largely in debt and that his estate
is mortgaged for more thanit IS worth, and
appears to triumph over his misfortune.
What object can there be in such expo
sures of the private affairs Of an individual.
The public have nothing to do with them,
and such publications, eyince that Green
and Jarvis are beings who to crafty their
malgnity, viii perform acts ever so con-
temptible: they are men who would pour
the ''sweetmirth ofconcord into hell"
IfMr. Clay be a poor man, it IS evi-
dence that he is an hone It one. tits proof,

Plckering) that one who has so long been
in various departments Of public life, has
not taken advantages Of the opportunities

an additional claim to the gratitude Of the
people.
