moment, and then said emphatcally, "Woll. general.
I've voted for you twice; but with oath now
tell you III never do il again"
The above is related by q gentleman who was prc
sent and will sorve to show the manner in which the
presidents veto is received in Maryland
.another.-As Gen. Jackson approached Fred, rick,
ne was met by DIR. T. Zone of the electors for that
disrict,l who gave up his horse to his servant and
took seat in the generals carriage. They were
soon met by Mr. H., another Of the GENERALS warm
aamrers' very respect able man, but who happened
enat morning to have taken cup TOO much. Tho
carriage was stopped, and Mr.. II. was introduced TO
tne president In due form. As the usual cal
utotions had passed the former very ngeniously sad
Henersl, thought you promised DR.. II. that YOU
would sanction our road he saple they were them
travelling upon) if passed through Congress." The
general was greatly perplexed, and could not havo
been more COMPOUNDED had a sudden clap of thunder
as : ms cars Dr. t. however. happily relieved
nun rom MS embarrassment by promptly replying
An, that liz matter between the general and nv
seif. The question having thus been given the GO
oy the parties proceeded along together for m 10
or two, when Mr. H., his recollec on somew WIN, bun
ted perhaps by his morning dram, sided up to the
carriage, and accosted the President: General I
thought you promised Dr. T. that you would sanction
our road II 1t passed through congress-" The pres
dents embarrassment returned but his friend amin
renewed him by replying, "Ah Mr.. H., that's a mat
ter between the general and myself" Another mile
or two was passed over, when Mr.. f. his mind filed
| ptf tb-.p In.tt,. -
to remember that the President had pledged himselP
to the Jackson electors his way to Washington
that he tcoud approve the Frederick and Rockville
road bill II submitted for his signaure,-and deter
mined tn know the reason why he had violated his
promise,-agan nearcd the arrage. and said. az III
for he first time, General, thought you promised
DR. T. that you would sanction road if it passed
through oongress!" The general WINS more apnnIleJ
than was the poor Fenchman at the re-oppearance
OF Monsieur Tonson. He sinking in utter des-
pair; when his friend again put of the tormentor by
saying All, my dear Sir that matter between the
general and myself"
Another report of the speech of Hon. William
Smith of 8 G. in the Senate of the United States
when the nomination of Rector came up for consid-
Grafton Every line cuts like two edged sword
Let 1t be remembered that Mr. Smith is a stropu
Jackson man Gin. american
"Mr. observation-disclosures the Senate has refused
to call on the Chief Magistrate of this nation to MS
sign reasons for making the nominations about which
ne asks our advice d consent, still we have the rIght
ana oehoVes US IN ITS exercise, to serutnze the cha
racter of those he has nominated to birh and mnor
tant trusts lie hos thought proper to nominate ono
person. Who under the most aggravated circunst an.
ces seduced his wfe's sister; another who was guilty
Of forgery I" hers who have been guilty ofdvers often
ces against the lave of God and man. and now he bn
sent the name Oft person who has been found pu tv
by jury OF his own selection, Of the crime OF
saoblng with an intent to murders and what class of
Ieons ne VIII next select as proper objects of reward
cannot antcipate.My advice to HIM is if he wishes
10 maintain his administration and have respected
either at home or abroad-if he has any respect for
the reiiglous or moral part of the COMMUNICATIVE
IN future he bestow his vors on those who ha NOT
been inmates Of our penitenarics, fugivcs from
justice"
From the Pennsyicania Inquirer TJackson1
correspondent suggests the Proprety of some
person, well acquainted with the Presidents motive,
Tor pardonIng WILSON. the mail robber, qvina a pub
lie statement Of the facts, "that the saddle NAV be
put on the right horse" The motives of he President
were ne doubt amiable; but his course on the occn
sion has not, in opinion, been correct. Wusox
was If possible more criminal than Porter in tho ex-
ecution OF the scheme to rob the Reading mail He
had besides this' subsequently, shot the driver of
stage to the south, and he is supposed 10 have shot
at the keeper of The Maryland pententiary. Porter
was bold, daring manly robber; Wilson a sneakinp g.
cowardy villain. The public do so much rsefct
the fate OF Poer They only think and rightly fR;nE
that the should not have been pardoned
and the other executed Uponthis point there
can scarcely be said to be a difference OF
opinion among those whose sentiments are enti-
tied to consideration. If the District Attorney.
who prosecuted both Wilson and Porter, had been
asked for the facts in the case, he ought to hayo
been, the government would suspect have rca
ceved correct information and suffered beth culprit,
TO share the same fate.
