 RP h may be recolleclet by our readers thaa just previous to the tlcctiea, cUmmuncaton appeared in this paper, under the sgMatnse ot 'P. a." aiedg- isg that Wm. c. IViti0ms, Esq. Of New-Hartford, was the person who at the anti-masOnic convention in Hartford nominated Phnehas Miner Esq. as one of the corresponding committee for LitCbGeld county This statement we authorized by Mr. Williams to pronounce to be incorrect; that he "was never a member of any anti-masORic masonic convention or meeting whaiever.'' Oar correspondent it appears confounded Mir. Williams with a gentleman of the same name in HarwintO". IThis statement was in- tended for our last paper, but inadvertently omit ted. It is however not too late to do justice and do believe P. O." would mte ntiomally do injustice to any One.

 UT The nomination. of Isanc l7M, (the great bus- whacking character-defaming editor of New-Hamp- shre,) as Second Comptroller of the Treasury, was rejected by the SeAate the 18th by vote of B to l5. The appointment made by the President twelve months since during the of1he Se- naie We glad find that there is yet virtue and independence enough in the Senate to reject the imitation of such fellows The nomination of Dabney s. Carr, Hate editor of srorrilous paper, Naval Officer at Baltimore, was confirmed the same day by vote of 24 to 23 Mr. Noble had stepped into the House of Representatives for few minutes-and in his absence the vote taken-.otherwise there would have been tie, and the responsibility of the confirmation or rejection would have devoved upon the Vice President. The nomination of David Hen shao, tconnec,ed with the Boston S,a,esman,) was also confirmed the same day Collector of Boston by majority of two or three. Many other nomina- tions of editors and publishers papers still before the Senate, most of which we presume will be con- 6rmed. Whether that of Amos Kendall the hea. ven-born Amos, will be, appears be matter of con- siderable doubt. We hope not. ..r... motion was made subsequent day to reconsi- der the vote upon the nomination of Isaac Hill, which was promptly negatved. So that the rejection may now be considered as final.

 T President Jackson has been nominated for re- election by caucus of part ofihe members of the Le- gisa,ure of Pen usylvana. Less than onehaf of the members attended the meeting and bare majority of these voted for the resolution approving the nomina- .ion. And ihs goes forth to the world ne "ths voice ofthe peoples" ...-

 Henry Ciay.-We copy the annexed article from the American Manufacturer, at Boston.

 "The character of Mir. Clay is an instance Of men. tai greatness, of which country, and perhaps the world can furnish nO living parallel.
