Of the Jackson party in this State. These very
aacrng prospects it seems, were presented to
him by a humber Of his friends Jackson friends, OF
course) from Sussex, at Dover, IN late visit to
Kent County. | rather expected that his REMARKS
would have been announced under the head OF a
"peep at the Peninsuta"--and think It he supposes
that his remarks relation to Sussex are correct
he has had nothing more than ga peep" at it--ior
n full view would certainly have presented him with
very different prospects," | am not disposed to
enter into any thing like controversy with the ed
itor of the GaZctie-but lest his statements should
make an improper and incorrect impression,
would beg leave 10 say through your paper, that du
ring Mr. Harkers stay at Dover, he saw but one
Jackson man (riend or foe know noD from Sussex
County-and in Dover to gain access to jackson
man, hemust have gone in pursuit OF him to the Of
flee of Doctor Setab-hiherlo 0vdrm friend oil the
editor 1t is true there were several persons at
Dover from Sussex, all Of whom except one, were
administration men. And from Kent no one in his
senses, would have made such averments as are
pretended 10 have been made in the Gazette 1t is
true Mr.. Harker met with several gentlemen from
New Castle County, among whom was Col. Clement,
who possibly might have hattered him with glor-
GUS g prospect"
Now sir, beg leave to assure you that no Adams
man from Kent or Sussex County betrays any
aaIarm'' at the prospects" the ensuing election
never more sangune ofsuccess than they are at this
time
A gentleman from Sussex publicly offered, at Do
yer, to bet ue hundred dollars-that the result OF
the election in Sussex would be in favor OF the Ad-
mnistration. Where, then could Mr Harker have
met with the Adams men who were :" alarmed at
their prospects?' !,
So far from every thing operating against u.s. :
believe the success of the Administration in this
State is unquestioned--and the prospects abroad
are chez ring indeed.
Sir, if my calculations are entitled to any credit
--(and have hitherto been e.that successful IN
them) would venture to say that majority in IA
vor Of the Administration ticket in Sussex County,
next October will be fve hundred, at The least. In
Kent we shall get six hundred. These may be
cheering prospects, for the Jackson party-lf
not for them, they are at least to every man who
values his country, and his countrys good, more
than his own selfish schemes. An eye Witness.

RETRENCHMENT.

An animated and interesting discussion is going
on in the House Of Representatives ON the SUBJECT
of retrenchment, introduced by Mr.. Chiffon, a new
member from Kentucky. Various motions, amend
ments. substitutes. &c. are made ; and some want
the subject referred to the Committee Of Ways and
Means, and others to a select committee.
| The most remarkably circumstance, however, Is
that Mr.. Randolph and some others--the avowed
opponents of the Administration--do not wish to
press the subject at Mis finae-and that Nessrs.
Wright, Taylor, Blake, and others friendly to the
Administrations call for examination and the utmost
retrenchment which the public interest will permit
Mr.. M'Duffie, speaking Of this discussion-re-
marked.
"No practical result possible grow out oft the
present session. With regard to the number OF
officers existing under this Government and the sal
aries they now enjoy, would remark, IN the flrst
place, that the present Administration cannot be
fairly made responsible but to a very small extent,
for the one or the other The offices were created,
with few exceptions and their salaries fred BY la10,
before his administration came into pozDer propo-
son TO limit the number ofthese officers, or to cur
tul their salaries ought not, therefore, 10 be de-
baled as question affecting the present incumbents
of the Executive Government. That certainly is
uot the point of their responsibility. On the SUBJ
l.ct of the proposed rerenchmcns, differ entirely
lrom the mover Of the original resolution. The
true mode of efecting reforms really and extensive
ly beneficial to the country, is not by Looping OIL
public oncers with an indscriminaling hand, and
curaillng salaries without due regard to the impor-
ance of the duties for which they are paid. This
is at best but very small business. No saving
worth the discussion could be effected byit. II any
thing salutary is to be done, 1t must be general
md systematic reform of the system which regula-
es and controls the disbursement Of the public mo-
lney.'

TEp1ToR's CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. Bradford,
S;r.-in consequence of the call of the House Of
Representatives for persons and papers relative to
the depressed state of the Woollen Manufacture not
only the Manufacturers subpGned to give testimony
before the committee have come to ashlnglon, put
Manufacturers and Woollgrowers from ten States
have arrived for the purpose OF giving information
ofthe ruinous state of their concerns There is no
discrepancy in their testimony, all agreeing that the
business cannot be sustained without efficient protec-
ton is granted and hattoo by the present Congress.
The Manufacturers that have assembled here, are
ofthe first responsibility, and intelligence. Their
case will as clearly be made out, as any that ever
has come before the public. Yet there are reas-
ons to believe that information is not wanted put
plausible evasions of the merits Of the question, to
satisfy suffering class that their false friends are
real ones and that the real friends OF protection are
merely acting for political purposes. Let not the
Farmers and Manufacturers be deceived by the uil-
hallowed coalition of political trmmers any longer.
The Manufacturers and Farmers have been too long
made the tools OF aspiring and contemphble dema-
gogues, who care not arthing. for their Interests,
and who would sell their constituents and their uear-
est rights for an Office under the government IL rs
proper to wait patiently for the report OF the COM
mttee and suspend opinions o what the report may
be vet it cannot be disguised, that the most unfa-
vorabe aspects with reference to fair and impartial
legislation, dampen and discourage the iona hopes
anticipated by the friends of the American system
Sympathy alone would prompt !udiclous and nom
orable committee to investigate fully and fairly the
case of the memoriasts for protectionot of the WOOL
en- Manufacture. But no one, yet examined not
even those who have been sent for by the hostile
II mart of the committee who has not been disguised
Inv the pitul and detestabe conduct of at least
Of this body, who ready and willing to sacrl-
lice the interests Of the country. Every trap has
been setby part of this committee, to catch the
Manufacturers examination SO that their testlmo
Inv might be used against themselves. Questions
have been proposed extraordinary character, such
Las Is presumed cannot find parallel in deliberate
1t is pretty well understood, here that
the little great man, the advocate Of the British IN
|terests from the city of NewYork,is constantly adj
Iv;sod of all the evidence that can the same,
Through their agents, and that Eugishmen have been
isent for through the nstrumentay of the agents IN
and have actually testified as to the con-
lsistency of protecting American Manufactures

protection necessary but on looking overihe names

which are the only Of this class on the list, are

tion or expenditure of public money, which is not
mperiously demanded by the Justice Of the claim,
