LIDELs. We noticed, in one Of the papers
of tn" town, published a week or ten days
since, a icttcr purporting to have been written
b. a gentleman residing in the city Of Wash
ington, in which the whole, or at least a part
Of the Connecticut delegation. were most scan
dalously libelied. At FIRST, we determined,
to lot the libels pass for what they were worth,
concoivlng that they would work out their own
correction; and thus it seems they have donc'

some weeks since. an extract Of a letter from
Washington, to the editor wherein allusion is
made 10 tho qualifications ard talents of the

q libel upon tho delegation in Congress from
this State, that we n. first considered it de-

thought it advisable to let it pass, not dream

where the gentlemen arc best known, a single

PROVIDENCE.

GENERAL JACKSON AND Com DKcA-
Tua. Mr.. Patrick H. Darby. has addressed
a letter 10 Mr. Dana, Editor of the Frankfort,
Kentucky. Commentator, on tho subject Of
General Jackson's threat, to cut of the ears,
and cane. the Honorable MI. Eppes Of the
United States Senate; which threat, it will
be recollected by our readers, the general was
prevented from attempting TO execute. by
the interference Of Commodore Decatur. From
Mr.. Darby's letter, we make the annexed ex-
tract.
"As to the stated conversation between
General jackson and Com. Decatur, l mover
beard OF 1t until / saw it published in the pa
pers. If ever did take place, Gen. Jackson
could not be expected to tell il, and I know
nothing on the subject but what l derived from
him and DIR. Brunaugh But with regard to
his dissatisfa ctlon With the conduct of Mr..
Eppes, and of his intention to personally chas-
tlso hun, and his going in search of Mr.. Eppes
for that purpose. it formed a topic Of as Gem
mon conversation with Gen. Jackson, a. most
other incidents Of the acts at Washington City
IN relation to the eminole war. understand
from both Gen. Jackson and Doctor Brunangh
that no left his lodgings in search of Mr..
Eppes, in company with the Doctor, that they
went to Nr. Eppes' lodgings, and not finding
HIM there, they went towards tho Senate
Chamber. IN hopes Of meeting him in the
street that the Senate sat unusually late and
Mr.. Eppes. as they supposed, hearing of the
intention of Gen. Jackson, left tho Senate
Chamber before its adjournment, and secrcted
himself.
81 have heard General Jackson repeatedly
state. that he would ha, caned Mr.. Dbpes, If
he could have found him; and if Mr.. Eppes
had resisted his chastisement, he would have
cut off his ears, as a signal mark OF disgrace,
and loft The conssqus noes to his country and
the opinion Of mankind. He further stated,
at one or more times, to me ahan converting
on this subject, that he had fought through
lifo for his reputation, and would not permit
any SET Of scoundrels 10 tarnish his character
with impunity, by falsehood and misrcprosen-
tation."
The Baltimore Patriot speaking on this sub
ject; says: at will be seen by the publication
which we copy from the Kentucky Commenta-
tor, that General Jackson's threats, notwith-
standing his ~cvasivo denial, are established be-
yond donbt II was asserted publicly in this
city long go. that General Jackson made SIM
liar threats ho'e, if not in the very words, and
posted of to W sshington in the night, in q very
angry Manner to put his threats into execution
This is known to many in Baltimore, who were
near him and heard bis language, when our cit.
liens gave a public dinner at tho Assembly
Rooms-,t was there he first re csived the SEN
atoriai report against his violent Military pro-
ceedings. His expressions made use on the
occasion arc very well known to his friends
here, and none s yet have had the hardihood
to deny thcm."

1t appears that the Jackson men a''r'ou'e
their late signal defeat in Louisiana to the
prevalence Of the Spanish Feuer. which IS
said to have behaved with most shameful par
tiality in New Orleans, by attacking exclusive
ly the voters for the hero. just before election
for tho express purpose of keeping them from
the polls Perhaps there are some natural
causes which may account for this Phenome-
non, such as the state Of the blood, and on
tremc anxiety of mind that prcdlsposed them
to this malignant visitor. AT any rate 1t is al
lowed on al! hands, that great many jack
sonians turned yellow upon that day, and the
endemic seems TO be travelling with unlmped-
cd sv;(,ness ,hrouchout the Western States.

n,- Nsp Jackson paper in Boston. "

DJ-.Nsw Jackson paper in Boston. We
noticed in our last, that certain individuals oi
the Jackson party, are about TO publish new
paper in Boston. The motives which induce
them to establish a new publication is said 10
be that the proposed paper "is to be less 'e"r-
yiious" than the Statesman. This is an un-
kind set. Mr.. Greene has given his time and
his money in support Of the cause Of Mr.
Crawford and General Jackson. The whole
profits of lucrative and large Book and Job
Printing establishment has been spent IN sup
port of the Statesman. The jackson patron
are in Boston 10 not more than half sufficient
to pay the expenses Of publishing one daily pa
per, and wv contend il is unfair in the gentle
men TO attempt to divide the patronage Mr
Greene has at this tine. "Honour gentlemen,
J houor among thisves."

CJ-BEwARE OF IMPOSITION! Yesterday
small book was put INTO our hands, containing
proposals FOR several works "now publishing by
mbssripfion, by J. TEAL, Boston" We are
not particularly acqua intcd with the publisher
and cntertai in not The least hostility against
him, though we have not yet mado up our
mind. 10 subscribe for either Of his works, or
to the belief that this schomo is not an
intended imposition or the community.
The proposed works are, first, &" the Colum-
sacred texts of the old and New Testaments,
with concise notes and annotatons from
Poole &c. &c. IN IL i-2 parts at one dollar
each, and Apocraphy, one dollar and fifty
inss, TO be delivered to subscribers free of
expense. at s27,oo, easH
3'oenfy scpcn dollars aud fifty cents for
a bible, in these hard times, when very many
can scarcely raise efficiency to keep them
from jail! We should hardly suppose this TO
comport with tho words Of our saviour, who
tells us that our salvation may be obtained
"without money and without price" But the
work is to be published. in IL l-2 num-
bcrs for 81 80 each, for the accommodation
of subscribers who may wish to receive it in
that shape, and be at the expense of getting
them bound in one volume, tho whole of
which would probably amount TO thirty dol
lars. A great saving truly.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate that in every in
stance Of this description where splendid BIZ
bies have been published by subscription, es-
pecially in parts-ths public have been most
grossly imposed upon. Many Of our readers
doubtless have O livoly recollection OF such
experiments.
The other works offered to subscribers for
their patronage in advance, by the same pub
Usher, arc those Of Josephus, Shakespeare, Roll
lin's Ancient History sc. all Of which may be
bought at our bookstores for less than halfthe
sum for which they are offered in the propo-
rals. With feelings uniniuenced by tho least
partiality or prejudice, we caution the commu-
nifty against this imposition, for we can call
it nothing else, till some evidence OF far
different nature from what we have seen, shall
appear to convince us Of the fairness and util-
ity Of the project

opinion and the strong hopes which we may
fairly entertain as to the final result. 1t has

still remain attached to the cause OF the Hero.

But 1t Appeals that the German counties have
at length come out in favor Of the administra-

Young 4 .Mlnns, for the last thirty years, is
about to DO transferred to Mr.. Forbes, gem
toman who has been employed for the last two
years as editor of the lions Herald. OF the
ability Of Mr.. Forbes, to conduct a business
newspaper we know nothing, but We hope he
will succeed in filling tho place of Mr.. Minns
to the satisfa ion OF himself and his readers;
but he must not hat,er himself that it is an
easy task. Mr.. Minns in his editorial capac.
i,y, was one Of the most industrious men in the
world; his paragraphs were short and always
to the point hn noticed every subject and
transa ion which comes within the province
of a business paper; he omitted nothing
interesting to the community at large. He
was to be found at his post, early and late,
and we believe with one exception, has made
up every paper for tho last twenty years,
which has been issued from the Palladium Of
