tky. Republican, that JAMES CLAax,
late Representative in Congress from
the Fayette District. is announced as
candidate for reelection. From this
we INFER, that the rumor Of MIR. CLAY's
being before the Peopls for that office
is without foundation.
Mr., Moan, the newly appointed Ma
val officer for the port OF New York,
speaking, in bis New York Enquirer,
OF the recent appointment of MIR. SwAar-
w'uT to the Colleotorship Of the sans
port. cannot refuse to the late osira-
cised and prescribed Collector, The fol
lowing testimony; "0i Mr.. THOMPSON
we can say, with confidence, that. in
every office he has held under the Go
vernment, fidelity and integrity has
marked his administration y And vet
this individual. thus characterized by
the favored friend of the Administration,
IS turned adrift.- Cni bono? Because
his place was wanted, and il was OF no
sort OF consequence what his particular
merit was.
The following sha Mess calumny Of
the gallant and ehivalrous HARRIsoN is
taken from the Kentucky Argus, as a
sample OF the vile uses TO which the
press may be prostituted by the minions
OF power:
I'm the advancement Of MooRE over
HARRISON, the public will have the graf
lhoation of seeing good soldier put

To the country that he should have been

! Family Jars Pleasant NJ. Miller, a
leading Jaeksonian in Tennessee, has
denounced the faith and the Hero, and
published his1 at full length
IN the Nashville papers. He cha ges
the General with Inconsistency in ap
pointing 10 office members of Congress,
Senators and Governors, after having
condo nned such appointments by his
predecessors. This Mr.. Miller was a
member OF tie Tennessee Legislature
in 4 sa2, when Gen. jackson was FRS,
nominated for the Presidency, and in
his speech on that occasion be urged
the claims of the Hero in the following
manner

The sarcastic remark of the Nash
vile Banner on this extract from MIR
Miiler's speech and his present senti-
ments, is in point-"The terraqueou.

The fact however Is, that this letter
of General jackson to the Tennessee
Legislature, in which he denounced the
practice of appointing members of Con
gress to office, as corrupt and corrupt
ing, was written fer him tho General
himself, as we believe. not knowing nor
caring what sentiments it contained. so
that they were calculated to prejudice
the people against the course of MIR. A.
