He was then asked TO procure copy Of fhe
teasts for the examination Of the others. This
was done, and general dissahstastion was

asked what was to be done? adding, 'for my

fell into bis opinion. He then invited them
to bis room to spend the afternoon, and
there the whole party took their so:ial glass,
toasting the tariff and internal improvement

character to This social meeting which was a.
loRe required to give it the fullest point, the
gentleman who had invited the rest, pr0duc-
cd a letter written by Mr. Jefferson to bis ia
ther, in which sentiments in favor Of internal
improvement, and stih more decidedly in
behalf Of the tariff policy, were breathed free
ly and unequivoealiy. The secession of the
Pennsylvania dele cation must be deep NOR

Nothing is truer, or is better known in Vir-
ginia, than that the public messages Of Mr..
Jefferson, and his private correspondence &
conversation, furnish as many and as strong
texts in favor of manufactures. as were pro-
dueed al the dinner agsisst them. He never
did question the eonstitiatonolsty Of the Tariff.
He never doubted the p0,cer for as his res

The Legislature Of New York has followed

hlanbly requested Gen jackson to permit his
name to be offered q second time, in viola
tlsn of asolemn pledge, hardly lsss sacred

candidate for re election to tbs Presidency!

Let the fact be once known that Gen jackson
Will notsefvs second term, and the Coanbt-
nation will fall to pieces on the instant, like
