the jackson leaders, during the late Pres
Dental contest. The revelations of General
Duff Green, not less than those of Mr.. Ste
chen Simpson, are of the first importance,
and deeply interesting to the public. We
have no idea that the great bsdy Of the su,-
psrters Of Jackson are aware Of the means
used to deceive and betray them. We ask
fhom to read The following short extract from
Green's reply to Mr. Eaton's book. II con-

"I visited Nashville for the double purpose
of seeing Gen jackson, and borrowing the
funds agreed upon. Through the agency of
Ephraim III Foster, Esq borrowed fourteen
hundred dollars. At Louisville received au-

that il Kendall could obtain one thousand dol

Barry and Col. Johnson was necessary pre-

Barry seemed apprehensive that John Pope
who is brother in law of MIR Adams, would
support his reelection, and that, in that e

character, we republish the following para
graph from the "Argus Of Western America, ,
Of the 10th June, 1895. The then editor oil
the Argus, was the same individual whose
name is above. Ia speaking Of the public
testimonies given by the citizens of Kentucky
to the popularity of DIR. CLAY, Amos. the
Heaven-bofn, says:
"Mr CLAY has certainly been eminently

Such were the sentiments entertained by
Amos Kendall on the 10th Of June, 1925, and
which he continued to entertain, until after
the distribution Of the $4,000 fund, raised
by the Jackson party. for the purpose OF "im-

after its distribution, we find this same in
CRATE Amos, dealing out his acrirnonius ties
timsny in printed letters against MIR. Clay,
charging him with bargain and corruption
in the presidential election.
In an article Of some length, in the Gin
cinnati Gazette. the able editor OF that Jsur-
nal states the case in reference 10 the posture
and prospects of the several candidates for
the Presidency, and sums up, as follows,
the argument in favor Of the concentration
upon one candidate of those opposed to the
re election Of the ineumbent:-.Nat Int.
ssWith respect to the concen ration of those
opposed TO the reelection Of President JACK
SON, upon one candidate, do not perceive
why il is imprac ticabe. The elements OF
which this opposition is composed, are not
more adverse and irreconcileable than were
those Of CRAWFORD, CALHOUN and JACKSON,
IN 1898. II all are persuaded that the com
mon good requires their association, 1t is the
plain course oil duty TO unite and promote it
To separate, upon men, is TO act upon very
narrow principles, and to jeopardize what is
OF certain attainment, and of great impor-
lance, for selfish ana personal objects Men
cannot be deemed true patriots who do this -
