and will any one believe that that valuable officer
would have looked abuses. such as ire described
IN the Argus: 1t is impossible, that the people can
be imposed upon by this pitfu effort to Justify the
acts of the present administration, by these false
charges against the administration of MIR. Adams.
Yhe partizans and worshippers of Gen. jackson, no
doubt think that his proscriptve course requires
something to Justify it with the people-ani we think
too-But of all the charges which their fruitful
muginations were susceptible of nventing, we least
expected Z" sac one against the post office depart
'nent. The charge is too ridiculous to require far
Their notice, than merely TO draw the attention of the

why were they not complained of before and correct

cd the power, and being devoted friend OF General
jackson, his feelings and his duty should and would
have compelled him 20 notice them. But the truth

we can be supported by the evidence of tents
Of the people of Kentucky, who friendly 10 Gen.
Jacksons elcctionthey know the fact, because they
received the documents We will not coninc our.
selves to the state of kentucky, the whole Union
can testify to this abuse--the mail:i were filed with
clectioneering documents and Daft Green's Tee-
graph, for months before the election and all ankea
by members OF Congress-Bushcls have been received
at time, and many have passed through this Place
directed To other sections of the state Nearly every
mail brought more or less of these packets, which
were generally franked by Tom .aIoore-They were
eren received in Kentucky from Washington City,
long after MIR. Mcore's arrival ut lone, endorsed
ttFree, II. T. Moore" Thus, foe electoneerng
purposes, and to serve the party 10 Which MIR
A!ocre belonged, he abused his privilege, as mem
bcr of Congress, by leaving his signature on papers,
which were used wrappers to any thing
which the friends of General Jackson might deem
necessary to send through the country without nav.
nga cent of the tax which is required by law for
their transportation-And fer thus lending himself
to faction, he has received bis reward the APP
pointment of Minister to Colombia.
Another abuse which is still more fragrant, and
outrageous originated Ill this place-various publ

oi the Argus, to produce excitement aGaHst the late

which has marked the course of Gen. Jack sons
administrative and would willingly induce III. be-
