Ihe Lieut.. Gorernor.-A mutual friend called

applied to, to have the bell rung for the Monroe
Funeral Meeting. We then observed, that il we
hud done him injustice, it should lie promptly re-
dressed. Ihereupon, we communicated with those
from whom we received the intelligence, and who
have furnished us with the following written copy
OF what the Lieut.. Governor said. The reader
will please compare it with what we said tho day
before yesterday, and If he can detect any ma.
terial difference. We may be permitted to say that
gentleman who heard our informant relate the
conversation to us verbally, and give the leave to
have 1t published, says that it reported as told
IN his presence, accurately, 4 sentence perhaps,
being only transposed.
"Mr. Daniel was asked by a gentleman, who had
been requested by several persons to ask his por-
mission, to have the bell wrung, 10 call Together

renceville-was capsizcd with three passengers and
literally smashed. The horses were instantly dis
engaged and run with the fore wheels When o.

had taken their seats, started his horses upon full
speed, and on coming Though the gate of the en-
closure into the street, compelled to turn at

From he GioJc.

IL VIII DO remembered that some time ago
denied that 'any member of Congress was author
,Sed 6y tie President To inform Messrs lnghan,
berricn ana Branch ''thdt IL tcuS his determination
to Temoue them from office If they refused TO COM
pet their fdmiiies to associate tcM that OF MAJOR
EGt0n" This pronounced equivocal denial,
and Col. johnson, from Kentucky, pointed
out, in letters, the member of Congress ma
king the communication to those gentlemen, and
upon his character the story was propagated as
entitled to crcdence, although emphatically contra
dicted in the Globe.
We now declare, without qualification, that Col.
johnson never did make such communication to
alessrs Ingham, Berrien and Branch, as that impu-
ted to him. He assured those gentlemen, on the
contrary, that the President did require social
'atercourse bet,oeen the families Of the members
Of the Cabinet, and that he expressly disclained
any such pretension.
The Globe thus denies that Col. Johnson bore the
roqusition from the President. The last clause of
the paragraph, was probably gratuity from Te-
sumseh to help his friend the President, at u dead
lift. The War. Department was not filled at that
time,
We hope tho Globe will no,o find it e1pedient to
explain the true and secret Cause Of that want of
harmony in his Cabinet, nvowed by the President,
declared by all, to have arisen from social causes,
and which led to its dissolution. That is the
which the Public desire to have explained. Is it
not Observation-Disclosures it not prove that
havo been, the opposition state ---thSt although
DANGEROUSLY denied by the Jackson Van Buren,
Press, it has not undertaken to assign amy other?

The JdckSOniGns at their old tricks.-The Amer,
lean Sentinel says, General Jackson is neither
hypocrite nor changeling. What he supported as
candFdato, lie would support as President. But the
Globe Is incessantly assuiling the system which
Cen Jackson stipulated with Pennsylvania, that
his administration should uphold INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENTS, DOMESTIC INDUSTRY;
and the BANK OF THE U. STATES, those
great means of the greatest public good, are the
anvil on which the sedge hammer of the Globe is
necessarily at work"
These three then, Internal improvements, The
Tariff, and the Bank, constitute that system which
Gen. Jackson stipulated" with Pennsylvania his
ADMINISTRATION 'should uphold"
SThe reader sees at glance, the prohgate sys-
tenn of eectionoering, by which his partzans arc
abouring to perpetuate the course" for six wears
longer The Virginia reader has not to learn,
that the Richmond Enquirer, the dictator of Viz
gInia opinion as it is at least thought be out OF
the State, presses the reelection of Gen. jackson
strenuousy c1clusively,upon the three grounds of
his being foe to Internal improvements Il foe to
the protection of industry, and foe to the Bank of
tho u. States! 1t rs by means remarkable-it is
the mere continuation of that system of mystifi-
cation, fraud and deceit by which the prcpostcrous
event of Gen. Jackson's election was atchovcd-
that the American Sentinel at Philadelphia, should
earnestly press his election upon the People of
Pennsylvania, friend of improvements, of the
Tariff, and of the Bank. 1t is plain enough, that
Virginia Pennsylvania, is to be deliberately and
wilfully duPed! The Jackson papers in Pennsylvania
neuer take anynotice ofthe Enquiror's claiming Gen
Jackson as arsencmy ofthe Tariff Il Improvements
our learned contemporary, is by far too cunning to

IL The President experiences the force of pub

tho office rs his-thc offices under his controul
the spoils of battle, which he liberty dis
tribute among his mcrcenaries, hattercrs, follow

without consulting any other monitor than his own
