Mr. Jacksua attributes the revocation of his commits
sion 10 the Central jackson Committee, and Saws:
understand, Sir, that of these miscreants on
hearing OF my appointment, brstlng himself up and
Stunning an air OF vast consequence, Your con-

And proceeds
&c For understand they met 10 solemn conclsve up-
on this nomep,ous question, at the Inquisi,orih
Chamber, in the Post Office their general rendezvous
and thcTe debated the question with grea, zeal per-
tnacty and finally decided that the recall should he

your Excellency, 10 make known their decision with
the awful consequences that would follow refusal Az
ter giving an attentive ear, and due reflection, you
ruckied to their insolence, ard forthwith issued the or
der of revocation"
Ia reply to the statement tina; the Central Commit,
tee held the city post office place Of general rem
devious, IL is proper that should again repeat that
The gentlemen who composed that committee consider
ing that the object which their appointment was intend
ed 10 promote had been accomplished the fourth OF
March last, their functions ceased on that day They
have held no meeting have they done any act as
such, since that time IL is also untrue, that that com
mittee or its members. have any time consulted or
advised either the appel nmen rejection OF any appl
cant for Office. IL is also due the post Office that we
should state that we authorized to say that
ing OF any description OF persons has taken place Il the
post office, as represented by Eir. Jackson.
But Mr.. Jackson gives the following "a ouo,ation
from his letter 10 the Secretary OF State which he saws
was before the President for three months:
" Although it," il c. the Consulate at AIarinicos
" is not post either OF political trust influence (bu
created for commercial purposes a salary office or
one that car be- desirable to any but a merchant
who can combine with ii mercantile pursuits las the
returns in your Department from the late Consul who
resigned il viii show yet deem il due TO candor and
fair dealing state for the Information of the President
that In tho late Presidential canvass advocated the
election of Mr.. Adams"
II is true as Mr. Jackson represents that this letter
was before the President at the time lac made the a o.
and what stronger proof could we give OF the
isity OF the charges which is every day the brdsn OF
the opposition prints, than is here exhibited Mr.
Jackson represented a citizen Of North Carroll
opposed 10 the elevation Of Gen Jackson yet tho
President did not hesitate TO appoint him. Would he
have given this appointment it, is daily said the OIL.
w Recommendation 10 office devotion TO him?--
No lie wonld have sought out some friend; some
pcs ical partisan.
Are asked why. after making tho apuontm . nj
the commission withdrawn! We learn that seeing
the name Of Mr.. Jackson announced citizen of N
Carolina, gentleman Of this city, not Of the Central
Committee supposiug that an imposition had been prac
tised upon The President conceived iis duty 10 notify
bin that Mr. Jackson was and had been for some fine
past citzon Of this District and at the same time 10
inform him. that MIR. Jackson, had bsen an active ma.
ghan partisan, engaged in circulating the deam-
a'ory publications issued from the coalition press in dis
city. The character Of the is dove oped in the tx
tracts we have given from his publication.
To have hesiiated to recall the commission Under
such circumstances, would have been wanting in res
pec for himself, and for those who the polls had i'm
pressed The stamp Of fdsehood tho calunnies Which
Mr. Jackson, in the publication before ne asserts 10 have
been political documents detailing facts faei from
