Intimidation Of the PfesS.--Ar Hammond
Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette has sued Mr. Daw-
son oi the Cincinnati Advertiser Tor Sl000-.Eem.
This blr. IA. the first Editor, who began the
attack on Mrs. Jackson and is at this time, the
putative Editor OF the Pseudo TRUTHS Advo-
cate On the Both June this Editor gave
the cue TO his political associates in these words:
" The most eiiectuai remedy would be a resort 10
the Lc,cs OF the country for redress III all of
LijeiS."-Eighi days afterwards the noted Mr..
john Sloane, OF the Six militia document norv
brought suit against Messrs. LOCKER anu Rey-
nolds, Editors oil the National Republican of Cin-
cinnati-lay ing his damages at S5JU0.- The Post
master at Wooster likewise sued MIR. Gardner, f.
ditor oil the :" Ohio Peoples Press" AT %cnia, for
thousand dollars And Mr. Sloane and his
friends following up the blow served four writs
on MIR. 4. 10 the amount OF $4,000; viz: one
the part OF j. Sloane for 5000, two from Levi Cox
S.. lawyer, for 800, and one from Hiram Bisse
OF wooster, for SIS, 000.- MIR. Gardiner makes light
OF these prosecutions he says that Sloane & Co.
have sued him Tor 100, when uniorl unateiy,
il j. too well known, that (h;) il not worth l6 900
cents"- Yet he pledges himself to defend the
liberties OF the press aud the rights of the People
against this formidable combination IL might be
supposed, that MIR. Hammond would be the last
Editor TO begin this game of prescriptions L. moi this
the man W 40 iiret dragged upoh'ndng feinalc
10 the bar oil the public? Is this not he who is said
| in a letter from Cincinnati OF the 10Th ms cad
dressed TO the Editor OF the Louisville L. Adverts-
| err to have in his Office documents purpofting TO
son. signed by named Ross, ii 4 am not
mistaken. These documents attempt TO prove,
| that the mother of the General was a prostitute;
that she crossed the Atlantic with the British army
| Tor America after leaving the army, she connect
ed herself with muiaito nun, by whom she had
several children; ana that Andrew Jack one
of these. - Really, should not b. asionishcd if
some of the - affiliated Editors should follow Mr.
Hammond's exaInple- and Mr. Bins or Mr.. Agg,
or some other scurrilou- Libeller OF the opposition,
\ i al nd nj
should sue out damages Tor the injuries done
| TO their immaculate characters.

PLOT ~ THE SOUTH
| The friends OF the Administration still insist up
on getting up IA plot for the Dissolution of the u
nion." They are continually bawling out IA Plot
Plot "A Plot Is on foot TO rend asun,irr the Uni
on. The citizens OF the Southare concerned III il.
! The South Caronans are % sound the tocsin, and
he South is to fall into the ranks. The opponents
oil the Tariff are TO up the peopl, by the ma
! gic OF that obnoxious measure. Tho friends of
jackson are 10 hurry them on TO eXtIemiiies--
| Rowan predicted there would be dissolution. Ste
venson predicted it, Parker threatened ii. There
eau be no doubt OF it-oi secret combination TO
dissolve the Onion The gunpowder Is actually
deposited the train is laid-and il only requires
the hand OF some modern Guy Fawkes.to apply the
spark anu blow this federatiye republic into atom>.
We are not ioni of QuS=ing our rca,lerS-,:o
the Virginian, who IS now sitting quietly under
his own vine and hs-tree, will scarcely believe
how many grave faces are put on, and how many
bold assertions made upon the occasion. The
fashion OF the Administration gentlemen is 10 cry
oui-a Plot to discover the Union ! Ifthere he a
Flot no where else, they must contriv TO have
one III the newspapers. Nothing yet has put
down Gen. Jackson--no lies, no caluInnies, no at
lacks upon his wife, no generous ate mpts TO strip
! the honored laurel from his brows, charges of
his conspiring with Burr nothing has yet succeed
ed in stemmng the current of his popularity No
vile, no invocation, has touched his character.
/ II has deiled the ingenuity Of Coffin handbills-
and the audaciiy oil affiliated Editors 1t is proof
'gans' poison and the dagger As desperate
sort, they are turning upon his misunderstanding
them with serious design OF subverting the Uni
on, and plunging IN cir country into blood.
Those who are not in the habit of reading a VA
rety OF newspapers, will scarcely believe the ac-
! tive efforts which making to alarm the public
mind and prejudice the of Jack on, by the
cry OF disunion.-We shall seize only few illus
trations OF this insiduus system. The Nat. Intel
ligencer asserts " that there is project on foot for
virtual dissolution OF the Unon-,hat the origi-
majors oil this scheme are among his Jacksou)
most dectded supporters; nay, more that they are
his most elevated and talented dtUocateS.'
! The n. York American after quoting the eX-
! pressons that have been ascribed 10 Rowan aud
Stevenson and Judge in Virginia, breaks out in
TO the following strain: % When to these sent-
ments Of grave senators and judges, are added the
intfanmaory resolutions and proceedings OF certain
districts i'll South Carolina, the open invitation to
separation OF the Union contained in some Jack son
journals OF that sate-aud when il is found that i'm
every instance these sentiments are induged this
nos; hagitious tone is held by partildns of General
Jackson, and by them only it be unfair, un
reasonable, or UNJUST to impue the doctrines thus
broached, as the doctrines OF the carty? As such
then we hold them up TO the people. We proclaim
= DiSuIllOH" as the creed of Jacksouisn-tO rule
on rum, as their maxim"
| The u. 5. Gazette of Philadelphia also cunts
aooU 1.-the separation of the staie, DIS if il were
a" subject OF familiar discourse and cacula'ion.''
| But the Administration men OF Baltimore Cap the
Climax OF this mocs drama. The Baltimore Ma
rylander, under the ilourishing title oG " God sape
the Onion,' gives the proceedings OF % crowded
ard highly respectable assembiage of the friends
| Of The General COueTRleilt and the Union of
| these States the oath Inst. take into consi-
! deratlon the late iniiammaOry proceedings in 5.
Carolina and ei>etchere'' They put" the venera-
bic Collector OF the port OF Baltimore, the hero
! 0ftW0 iCars, James H. McCHiIoch,' in the chair;
he addresses the meeting he graveiy tells them
that IL had been his undertaking practice of late
years to abstain from all interference in political
matters, bat that he regarded the eNigences of the
present moment a. so important, and the business
! upon which this meeting would be called to deli
! berate so nomcnous, that he was compelled 10
| make this case an exception to his general rule,
and TO ioreSO the comforts OF home and quiet Lille
! for this occdsion."-" his address was received
with the mast rdpiWrO,ts dPptGMses- And after all
these attempts ~ effect, Mr.. J. 5. Tyson produces
his Preamble aud Resolutions, which were u
unanimously 0dOpted" We have no space 10 spare
Tor such effusons the Resolutions alone will shew
{ the spi il in which they are conceived:
g" Res0iued, That the principl esinc ulcated in the
/ Colletou Address, well as those 5vOwed in the
speech OF Mr.. George MDuilie, are hostile to the
constitution, reasonable in their spirit, and tending
! to rebellion.
