so much has been said, that our readers must be
familiar With

BY these letters il is proved that Gen. Jackson

pared to act against him i'm obedience the orders

zen. 'acksons inisconccption in relation TO Burrs
views y objects in Sept. 1896. he had denounced
HIM IN the .Nuren,bcr following.
Let us NOW inquire, at what time MIR (1ny
and others abandoned Burr In December, 1906
month after Gen. Jackson had denounced Burr,
| Henry Clay, Col. John Allen and James Hughes
| Esq. were The voluntary counsellors and lawyers
| OF Col. Burr at Frankfort, at which point he was
arrested. Col. Joseph H. Daviess then District At
torney OF the ". s. acting rs prosecutor
MIR. Clay, and the lawyers who then acted with
him were not the only who then caressed 5,
defended Col Burr. public ball was given TO
COL Burr ut Frankfort, and the venerable Chris
topher Grenup gave him dinner, surprising him
| TO be an innocent man, and having served with
Burr in Congress. From Frankfort Col. Burr
went TO Lexington, 1--WE believe with Mr.. Ciay)
where Inc was caressed, publicly and privately, by
M. Clay and others. At the session of 1906 Mr..
| Clay having been elected 10 the Senate of the U.
o.to iiil the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
oil Gen Adair, took with him letters of reconimen-
dation, on, B,i,r, TO several members of Con-
grcss. On his way TO Washington Mr. Clay GUAR
| rc!led-nay got into a jracds-wih distinguish
Ell citizen OF Ohio, who venurcd TO denounce
Burr in the company of MIR. Clay, at tavern, or
| rather at dinner table.
These plain facts prove, that, IL Gen. jackson
ought to be considered traitor, for being familiar
with Burr. and aiding him, in September, MIR.
! Clay and others must have been douby guilty,
a. they were the jealous friends and champions OF
! Burr, III December followiug-and that too, with
| better opportunities TO know Burr's views, than
General jackson could have had, as they were
Burrs lawyers and advisers.
Under such circumstances what must the pee-
pie think OF the consufnnate impudencc of Mr..
Clay's tools, when they urge that Jackson's fam-
iiarity with Burr. in Sept. 1906, proves that he
was traitor, while it is KNOWN. that Mr.. Clay
| adhered to Burr throughout the month OF Deem
! Der tOhouing-acted as his companion friend, and
I public and private champion-and defended him
both mentally and physcally--The case is too
plain TO require further calculation. The panders
OF MIR. Clay know the charge against Cen Jack
son to be groundicss and malicious. as well as wo

received from him by the last arrival:

the following article TO the editors Of the n X Ca

AS the majority of the people of the T. States

utmost endoavourS 10 that effect have through the
suspicious folly of those i'll power, proved inefiec-
tual.
The whole Mexican squadron Consisting of

now lying in ordinary at Vera Cruz, their crews
all discharged and not the least probability of their

other cruise. The commodore after repeated APP
phcatons 10 the proper authorities, soliciting the
payment oil his seanens' wages, finding his re
quest unattended 20, and neglected, az length on
the 2oth July, ordered his flag TO be hauled dowr,

This example was followed by the remainder OF the
squadron. The brig Hermon is the only Mexican

great length of time.
