The "RoARISa LoN."-The Philadelphia U. s.
Gazette on the authority of letter from Washing
ton, gives rumor that President Jackson, fcelinn
called on by Mr.. Berrien's manifesto, to como be-
tore the public, under his own signature, got up.
with the help of his privy council, Lewis & Co, a
real roGrer for the next Globe that was already in
type when Messrs- Livingston and Woodbury. The
only c0"stfutional advisers of the President hand
getting wind thot the Greatest and Best" was about
to "explaterate," hunted him out, separated him
from his prIvy councillors, and uter attempting to
reason with him to purpose, finally had to tell
ham that as the people would presume that the con-
templated publication would not be made without
their advice and consent, if no persisted in pub
hshing, they would qHit the Cabinet; and that in
this way, they at last choked him Off on the single
condition that the Globe should say WHAT pleased
on the subject. The gazette afterwards received a
letter giving some additional particulars, and va
rying the statement above.
our lions part is the real "part to tear cat
In" and the MILITARY chicftain" will do it JUS

u We take pleasure in publishing Col. Ruth
erfoords frank and independent avowal of his po.
litical sentiments, and of the course he means to
pursue, if elected member of the General Assem-
bly,. From his having attended the jackson eau
Gus of 81, %, and report having obtained some
currency, that he had declared he would do so
again, if elected, opposition has been meditated.
But we hope, as he has given the most ample sat
isfaction that point, and as in other respects,
tho city is satisfied with his public conduct, our
political friends will exhibit that moderation and
tolerance of difference Of opinion the absence and
opposite of which in the party TO which Col. Ruth
crfoord belongs, has disgracod our country and
called forth the indignation Of every true Repub-
lican. Let the tyrant at Washington and his base
minious, continue while his brief power lasts to
emulate the spirit which dictated the epitaph Of
Sya--lct them 60 on, and by furnishing Republic
can Citizens for the Independent exercise Of their
rights, lay up for themselves, wrath, against the
day Of wrath--let Thos. Richie in his prurient
zeal clutch tho ornolumcnts Of the public print
ing invoke the electors of Virginia to put under
the ban, all who do not subscribe his creed of po-
litcal orthodoxy, and bow the knee TO the ignorant
dofard who defiles the residence of Washington,
Jefferson, and Madison-but let the opponents Of
Jackson, who abher these things, and have spoken
! ao,ie,st them in voice ofthundeT, which has made
,ho modern Tberius turn pale in the depths Of his
1 polluted pasce-let them be consistent. and Prac

1t would appear from it that he was ready to sign
any certificate that Mr.. Williams might dictate. TO
answer sny end he might have in view This is
certainly incorrect, and such idea was intended
to be conveyed. The extract from Mr. Bolts, let
