These two Gentlemen, Messrs. Tyler and bea'i
were. as we learn, together with Messrs. ShriVer,
Nelson and Thomas. a committee appointed on

MAGISTRATE of rhe Union.'' Tae letter of the
Committee to Gen. Jackson, as reported IN ''the
.ofT;ciaI Government newspaper at the seat OF
Goyernmant., - contains the declaration, declar-
alton remarkable on the part of some of them at
least. that they had been sent by their Repn6tce'
fellow citizens to General Jackson, on a mission
of which one of the occts was "to express to
| .rGen. Jackson their ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS m
his INTEGRITY, patriotism & political 1cisdom."
Such declaration on the part of three OF the ON

NAL has induced him to refer to two of the Com

ayerring that Gen. jackson mad made to them the
avowal which we referred to. Since that day we
have constantly expected to see their ''evidence
storfhcon,ing." Even now we cherish that en-
recitation: for we cannot believe that honorable

to smother in their breasts the feeling of truth and
the principle ofjustice.
We have made the foregoing illusions in JUS
tice to ourselves and TO the public; and trust that
full and voluntary statement by the parties will
relieve us from the unpleasant duty of going into

Jackson's reto. The road will 90 on. Many
enterprising and public spirited individuals have
done much--some, more, probably, than they

General Jackson had majority ct siXty-four
in the House Of Representatives at the opening
of the last session of Congress, and Mr.. Clay had
majority Of 90 at its close. These facts, says
the Hagerstown Torch Light, were publicly stat
ed. by member of Congress. in this place, a few
laws ago. in the presence OF four other members,
who were friendly to the General at the opening
of the session. and who admitted their correct
ness. This is the first instance in the annals OF
this country, in which any President ever lost 50
great number of friends in one session.
