these things first made their appearance in the
Official paper here. that they were pared Tor

our readers to note the fact. 1t is strong one.

we have undergone, by which the patronage

lated, would reach Mr.. Mour0e when Tie ehc, :
pies of nature would have been too tar exhaust
ed to permit him to adopt any mode OF contrad,c :,
ton; and thus the friends Of Gen. Jackson would
be enabled, after the death of Mr. Monroe, to say
that the assertion Of Johnny Ray had been uncon-
tradicte and therefore was to be received as COR
rect. But the calculation was an erroneous one.
When he received the letter. indignation gave
him pertunatural strength, and summoning some
of his friends he in his bed, the last t'me
and holding up his emaciated hands, pronounced
a solemn denial of the whole story.
1t ought to be the cause of congratulation to
the countless friends he left behind him, but more
especially to the immediate circle OF his domes-
tic relations, that he had the power and presence
of mind left him, in the hour of his greatest de-
bility TO make this sublime and unanswerabie vim
dica.ion of bis character, aud to defeat the vile
machination of those who had planned ITS defa.
nation. l have understood that the principal
witnesses of this affecting scene. were Mr..
Southland, General Scott, Mr.. Tench Ringgo!d,
and perhaps some others.
| zen. Jackson and his friends, il is supposed,
have obtained knowledge of what passed IN Mr..
Monroe's chamber; and there is strong suspi
cion among our politicians, that, on this account.
| the publication of Mr.. Crawford's exposition,
which was promised sometime SINCE, by the Edi'
tor of the Globe, has been delayed II Is not
impossible that information has been sent to Mr..
Crawford Of the facts have stated, in order that
he may modify his production accordingly.
Thus we have new proof of the determine
ton Of General Jackson and his friends, to sa
crce the reputation Of every citizen,b be his stand
ing as elevated as it may, in order to establish the
fame Of him who has been elevated, IN an evil
hour for the country, to the highest Of its honors
and to transmit to future ages false and foul ca
lumnies, in the stead of veritable and cdify,ns
history Of the times, which have produced thi:
political abortion. Virginia, which enjoys the
reputation Of having given birth to James Mon
roe. and New York, which received bis last breath
must both feel indignant al. this degrading effort
TO wound his reputation.
There is nothing else at this moment which
greatly agita,es the public mind. The result Of
the Kentucky election has caused many blank
countenances in that small portion Of our popu
lation, almost exclusively Office holders, which
still worships at the altar of Jacksonism; while
many who were about to leap into the ranks o.
John C. Calhoun, have been suddenly checked
by the exposition which he has just made of his
hostility protective system, his desire to abridgt
the jurisdiction Of the federal judiciary, and hi,
rash adoption Of the doctrines of notification
This seems to be the age Of political suicides

WASHINGTON, August 16.
Considerable excitement has been caused in the
political circles Of this city, by circumstance,
the principal scene Of which was laid in your ci
ty, and the most worthy, in the actors of which,
now sleeps with the unforgotten dead.
You will recoilect, that in the published cor
respondence between General Jackson and the
Vice President, reference was made, in let.
ter from Mr.. Crawford to Mr.. FORSYTH, to the
letter said to have been written by Gen. Jackson
to Mr.. Monroe. on the subject Of taking posses.
sion Of the Floridas for the United States, in which
the former suggested, that ssif the President an.
proved of 1t, he had only to give hint to some
confidential member of Congress, say Johnny
Ray" &c. The existence of any such letter was
denied, and has been generally doubted Johnny
Ray, the individual thus distinguished, has been
IN the city of Washington during the present year,
probably about the end Of May or June. He is
an infirm man ina state Of approximation;
aud he was therefore the precise individual to be
made the main instrument in the plot which had
