u3' a. Il. G. has omitted in his historical view Of
tho consistency of Mr.. Thomas Richie, some striking
particulars. Thus in 1923, the Central Committee
Tor Jackson an this city, composed almost exclusively
OF Office holders several of whom had held their sta.
tons for fifteen or twenty years, issued pondeIous
and somaerous address, which for the sake of giving

address, was the disinteresed Peter V. Daniel then
as now, Lieutenant Governor of the Comn,onw alth;
and what gave it peculiar authority, was that Peter
who thus sticked for rotation" and thought Il es-
senal turn Mr. Adams out at the end Of four years
because rotation had tendency to purify. and by

entertainment of the opinions therein expressed We
have not Mr.. Daniels address at hand to refer TO-
but we are sure 1t contained these among other
opinions and staements-namey, that rotation" in

eiiicacy-that it chad tendency to purify and by
consequence, preserve, Republican Institutions
that Mr. Adams having been four years President,
ought hence, to be turned out-tha it was not desi
rcd to elect Gen Jackson, but for terT-that he
himself did not desire it-above all, that it was dan
gerous 10 continue any President for more than one
term because if done, the first four years would be
used in cOrrupting the country for reelection We
say have not his sub Excelencvs narcotic address
at hand but if any reader is more Fortunate he will
find all the above ideas in it, deliberately signed by
Mr.. Thomas Richie, aud published formally to the
world the candid opinions of himself and the Cen
tral Committee.
Whether the Lieutenant Governor has rated or
not, we have not had the curiosity to enquire He
has practically manifested his devotion to the great
republican doctrine OF rotation" that it would be
disrespecttu to suppose possible that he now be
in favor of electing Jackson for second term-Not
! so of Mr.. Richie. That gentleman with his usual
consistency, has uneguvocally, and even withou,
waiting as is common with him, until he can wait nc
longer already declared forskfe reoiection of The
Hero. In his paper of March %, appears the fol-
lowing language: After remarkilg upon the contro-
yersy of the Telegraph and the Courier, he says:
"But we do not hesitate to say, although HE coun-
"try will not commit herself positively at this time
ITO vote for any man three years hence; although she
'wshes to look TO tho wisdom of his measures, and
respectfully to his respect for the Constitution of his
"country; vet such is her regard for the general
cOurSc Of his administration; such sher confidence
lin hum; and such Is the ambition of Mr.. Clay, such
1.-The virulent opposition of his friends such the
means taken to defeat Andrew Jackson and such the
''wc deem 1t of the highest degree of probability
that she will call upon him to serve her for second
"term."-( Italiciscd by Ed. Of Whig)
/ This is a distinct nomination of the President FOL
a reelection, notwithstanding the abstract beauty Of
'rofation, so much admired in the fall OF I828 and
the declarations then signed by Mr. Tho. Richie
that it was dangerous to elect the same individual
twice The Presidency, that Gen. Jackson did not
desire it, nor any of his friends!
We have had occasion to point out so many sim
liar beauties in the works of Mr.. Tho Richie, thu,
this new will produce no particular surprise; but
as A. B. c. had undertaken TO groupe tie most str
king instances of the extraordinary alacrity of this
modern Proteus at changing shapes" we thought
we would direct his attention TO this new and uneE-
cecd summersett.
A letter from the London correspondent of the
| n. Y. Com. Adv. soys-The melancholy suicide
of Lord Graves has excited considerable sensation
here. The adys innocence is firmly believed, though
I it is supposed that the WustrioiS suspected. had
every inclination to be naughty ifhe could. What
n deathless name this modern Edpus is laborng
to acquire' History has tsCatalines and Borgas and
! with some even ErostTatian fame is better than
