TO WIN. II. RONNE Esq

SIR: On looking over your pamphlet addressed to
the Voters of Hanover, | was not u little SURPRISED
with meeting with tie following declarati NJ
ANDREW Jackson is on this subject, che subject of
internal Improvement pedg to the Republicans
OF America" 'During his Administration no law
can pass Tor cutting roads digging canals throu Oh
the tree and sovereign states of America" | have
always considered you too much of man # integ-
rlty and honor, for moment to believe, that Won
would kTlolcingty and Intentionally impose uoon anv
one, much less your fellow citizens when YOU are
offering yourself as candidate to represent theni
and 10 whom you are making ''erpoSe" of Your
political sentiments, by any statement, not founded
in fact-Permit me therefore, respectfully to call
your attention to two acts passed the last session of
Congress, and approved by Andre,o JacGSon,
March I'd. By referring to one of these acts Won
will find that $50, 900 was appropriated for con
tinuing certain roads in Michgan-S535, 600 for
dofraying expenses incidental to making exanina
tons and surveys; and S650,000, for improving
the navigation of the Ohio and M.ssissippi BV
the other it will appear that $500 have been
appropriated for the Improvement of certain har
bors, rirers, and creeks. Thus you will per-
ceive that General Jackson has given his sanction
to laws aPpropriating l,133, 900 some hundred
dollars to the purposes Of internal Improvement
great part of which for the Improvement of
rirers and creeks, if not roads, throupi the free
and sovereign States Of America" That these
acts of Congress should have escaped yo,,r obser-
walton, is TO me matter of little surprise; and
now call your attention 10 them, under the hope
that acting upon your own principle, 'Amicus iIa-
to, E1nticuS SOcrGteS, Sed rdgiS Gn,icuS Ve1itas"
rendered by you, ''Be the friend of adams, be the
fiend of Clay, be the friend of Jacks9n--but much
than all, be the friend of Truth, you will on
the day of the election boldly and honestly come out
and tell your fellow-citzens, that YOU were rnista
ken in saying that '.'Andrew Jackson is pledged on
the subject of internal Improvement to the republi
of American and that ''during his adninistra
ton 80 law can pass for cutting roads and DIGGING
canals through the free and sovereign states of A
merica'" for if he gave such pledge he has
most assuretiiy violated $1,000.

ALL HAIL KENTUCKY!

The Frankfort Commentator Extra, of Saturday
evening, Aug. 6, brings the latest ntelligence-By
this it appears that Davis, Marshall Allan, Letcher
Tompkins and Chiffon CLAY certainly elected
to Congress-The Jacksonians have certainly elect
cd Johnson, Wckliffe, Adair, and Lecompte the
three last by slender majorities. Some doubt yet
hung over the District, lately represented by DR..
Gather, but the probability is, that he has been
turned out by Brents, (Clay) The district re-
presented by Chittendcn Lyon, the remotest in
Kentucky, not defnitively heard from. Tho LouE
dsville Journal of the 9th, says, that in Todd,
Christian and Trigg, Breathtts majority over Ly
on, was or 700--that in Hopkins, Breathitt,
(Clay,) was &c votes ahead the first day We also
learn from another quarter, that no was run ming
ahead in McCracken. Two years ago, the Jackson
elected 10 out of -, members of Congress.
They viii now probably lose 8 in 12
In the Legislature, the Clay triumph is decisive.
EOfthc Delegates certainly known to be elected 80
were for Clay, against Is, Jackson. The balance
would be most likely in the same proportion. A
5letter from Frankfort of Aug 6, says:
eff Mr.. Berrien's address to the public had mado
rts appearance in this State three weeks before our
elections came Oh, the whole of delegation, in
Congress, would probably have boen opposed to
tfien. Jackson. Several distinguished men, of the
Jackson party, have Tcnounced the Gcnere since
the appearance of Mr.. BIS publication.
Mr. Clay will have decided, indeed may say a
largo, majority ef friends in the House of Repre-
scntatyes of this State, NJ tho ensuing session -
We have heard from forty-four counties, which
send sixty-niue nembers-forty-nnc arc for Clay,
and twenty for jackson. Majority for Clay twenty
nine. The House Of Representatives. contains
hundred nlembers-Clay will have about
sixty-two to eixty-six, and Jackson the bal
.ance. In the Senate, Mr.. Clay will have a
small majority. In the counties heard from,
mr|Cay has gained, since the last Legislature
about fifteen members"
The Commentator Of same date:
Kentucky is herself again! She will adhere &c
the Onion' IN every yicssitudc and emergency, anc
TO that system uPoa which her prosperity and best
interests are based. in the hour of trial, she ba
been found true TO her principles, and her VICTORY
has been triumphant. The cause Of HENRY
CLAY and the cause Of the county, the erea
Of republican government and democratic
principles, has prevailed. Like giant, she ha,
reused her slumbering energies into action, an,
scattered confusion and dismay into the ranks o
tho enemy.
"The postponernent Of the Senatorial election Jas
winter, had the effect Of making party question
jD every county, and although we have not hear

u We have received the 1st No. of the Penn.
sylvania Wing, published at Philadelphia, by Ste
phen Simpson. The Editors address to his patron,
and the public, takes up the thread of the dscours,
| commenced in his letters recently published ant
presents an unanswerable justification for his renun
citation of Jacksonsm and support of Mr.. Clay
eff (says he) Mr.. Clay could .forssee las he oid
toresee and repeatedly foretold-Eds. Whigl zll
that we compelled to ndmit-if he acted
then under that same knowledge that we have lust
arrived at-the total ncapacity of Gen. Jackson
for the Presidency, thegreater is his merit in having
voted for Mr.. Adams and the greater our culpabil-
ity for having condemned him for that act The
principle is established, that circumstances mitigate
palliate and justify-and lamentabe indeed, must
be the instinct and perceptions of that American,
who will now fail to acknowledge that his country
has been degraded by misrule, and insulted by i'm
becilty.'
Simpson defends himself conclusively against
the charge of deserving the Hero from disappoint
ment. On the contrary, he confesses himself un-
der personal obligations to Jackson, for his efforts
to get hie appointments through The Senate, by a.
tually soliciting each Senator to vote for him by
letter!

Did the Secretary thus vary the copies he made

lead-''a peeting of citizens" might imply 200 as

MR CALHOUN

Tho Camden Is. c. Journal decides unhesita.
tingy, and classes Mr. Calhoun with the nulifyers.
Its language is
'Ihe expose of Mr.. Calhoun which we have felt
ourselves under obligations to lay before our read
ers, necessarily excludes almost every thing else
from the paper; and even now we are unable with
out leaving out advertisements, to publish
the whole at The entire letter will make
about fifteen columns, and the portion which we
are necessitated to leave out this week, shall be
given in the next number. Mr.. Calhoun it will be
perceived, has given himself entirely to Nulica-
tion-But he has given to that horrible doctrine
no idea, to its advocates any new argu-
mcnts, and while he has thus voluntarily destroyed
himself beyond all chance of redemption, he has
not, that we can see, the poor consolation of
having conferred any possible benefit upon the
little party of men who believe in the hercsy His
name they have long had, and It gives them there
fore, no new sanction-no additional confidence. -
The Columbia Telescope (Which has risen AGAIN.
claims for him the same distinction, but comedies,
that by the avowal, Mr.. Calhoun has surrendered
all chance of success for the Presid ncy. The
Richmond Enquirer places the same construction
upon his expose, and fear, is rather pleased al
the suicidal consequences.
We are free to confess that in our opinion, Mr
Calhoun runs rather close to the wind. We hest
tate however, to rank him with tho Hamiltons and
Haynes. We dePrecate urging such man, nolen,
votens, into the ranks of notification, by prccip
itate judgment upon his opinions. 1t is very pos
sble for Mr. Calhoun yet to say, 81 am not multi
fyer," and to reconcile the declaration with hi
expose. The tendency Of the letter is qualifying
certainly, but it is not express qualifications.
