W Inc "t'sobe" rejects the supposed ovcrtures
OF Mr. Berricn at tho dinner to Mr.. Gilmcr with
scorn. The three, it says, Bcrrien, Branch and
Ingham, confederated with the editor of the Telc
graph to destroy the President and Ina wing failed
In their object, two of them branch and Berrcnl
have gwen in their adhesion. We find a rencrol
concurrence IN tho idea, that Mr.. Bcrren's speech
his grateful" enumeration of the merits of lack
son, his "cordial" support of his measures, &C.
was a mean Precipitation of the man nc had .ried
to destroy, after finding that his efforts for that
purpose were Intellectual Even the Telegraph so
friendly to him, hints It's persuasion of this, and
calls upon Mr.. Berrcn to give the schole truth TO
tho public. We did not sec Mr.. Berrien's speech
exactly in that light. We thought it rather supple
rather too commendatory of the whom he had
charged with establishing a reign Of terror with
carrying measures by bullying, and with conspiring
tho obstruction of social honor but we could not
divest ourselves OF powerful prepossessons in his
favor Those prepossessOns biasscd our Judgment
1T this DO the spirit and intent of Mr.. Berrien's
speech, IT, having failed TO shake the public conf
nence In Gen. Jackson no turns round and fawns
apon tho man at whose door he has laid accusations
---sompromisng his official com potency, and even
aonching his personal honor-who will not nc
knowledge the justice of those drubbngs bestowed
by tho official paper at Washington? Who will not
saoice to see the trucking sycophant spurned, as
Inc has been by the PRESIDENT If Gen Jackson
will serve few more Of tho tribe with the same
merited severity, no will entto himself to the
gratitude of every lover of independence. When
Gov Branch, after urging against Jackson the
Same charges, discovered, "a seat in Congress de-
Pending upon the discovery that he chad done
nothing for which he could not be forgiven" all
'ncn wcro disguised, but, few surprizcd. The
lIttIeness of the thing known to be in cxac,
proportion to the Dimensions of his understanding
Hat'when Berrien, the supposed gifted elegant and
chfValrous Berrien-the very cxemplar of southern
honor and spirit, esteemed, is suspected gricvous
y,'of design of sneaking back into that favor
ont of which he kicked with such marked in.
dtgnity-all mon ustonished--thc ovcrruling
loTc of Office which RACES through the country,
presents itself in appalling view. We glad
tosee tho Globe standing at the door with a cudgel,
resolved that the chvairous Berren shall not
crawl back into the favor he has forfeited. Our
Southern knights having thus proved rccreant, we
asust look to the derdcd paper maker, Mr. Ingham,
for that becoming spirit and intrepidty which
Southern vanity claims as the growth of it's eli
