Important from the Wsst.-Scarcely a
mail arrives that does not bring intelli-
gence with j. Of the secession from the
ranks Of Jacksonsn, Of some Of the most
important and influential Of the support
ers ofthe "HERo." BY the Sciota Ga
zette, received yesterday, we were up
frized that Mr.. Upton, Of the Senate of
the United States, from Indiana, who was
elected as high toned Jackson man last
year, and who sustained the administra-
ton through thick and thin until the We
to Message was received, since his re-
turn home, has publicly renounced and
denounced Gen. Jackson. .. .....
| Another, and in some respects still
more, important secession from the unho-
ly cause, is announced this morning in
the person Of Gen. Duncan, the only
member Of the present Congress from the
State Of Illinois. Should the election of
the next President devolve on the House
OF Representatives, the vote Of Illinois
will consequently be given to Mr.. Clay
and, with this vote, we can now count
thirteen States, which, in the like event
will vote in the same way. We quote
the following: ". Y Com. .adp.

treaty; and it may be safely assumed
that in the oral discussions connected
with the negotiation he had more than
his share. His performances, as Sc
cretary Of State are Of the highest order
of merit. During his incumbency, the
labors and responsibilities Of that office
were, in consequence Of our inte curse
with South America, ard the ramified
concerns Of the country, at least double
what they had been at any ante ecede Mt
period. He negotiated more treaties
than had been negotiated by any one of
his predecessors. In several Of them he
introduced principle Of mari.ime inter-
course Of great importance to the naviga-
ting interest Of the United States. BY
the Convention of London, of which Mr..
Clay was one ofthe negotiators, certain
privileges which British vessels had be-
fore possessed over American vessels,
were abolished; but Mr.. Clay, in the
treaties with Denmark, Sweden, the
Hanscatc cities, and Guatemala. intro
duced the rule that goods conveyed in
vessels Of the United States to those
countries, and reciprocal!y, should be ad-
mitted without reference to the country
where they were produced. His state
papers are prepared with great care, and
in a concise, but perfectly lucid STYLE
When we consider his reputation as an
orator, a senator, and a lawyer, his in
stance is one of more various intellectu-
al excellence, than that OF perhaps any
other citizen ofthe Republic. If he has
peers, he is first among them. His case
is without parallel in England, where dis
tinguished men do not often try more
than one path TO greatness, and by that
one rarely arrive at it. The eminent
services Of MIR. Clay during the late ses-
sion of Congress, are Of too recent date
to need recapituation. His report and
speech upon the public Lands would, un-
aided, establish his fame as statesman
and patriot on durable basis. His great
capacity for business was demonstrate d
for successive months in the presence OF
the whole nation. This is the candi-
date of the People for the Presidency, in
opposition to the candidate Of the Veto
ties and office-holders. And we close
this series Of numbers, by repeating oul
firm conviction that the public safety I'M
periously demands an union Of all homes
and di>interested men in favor of the
Orator Of the West, the Champion o.
Liberty, and the Friend Of the Unipn-
the accomplished HENRY CLAY.

Mrs EAToN.-The Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser and Patriot Of Wednesday, has
the following, in paper on the "conduct
of the Administration in its domestic poll
cy." Would that it were not but too
true.
1t is literal fact that, in the midst of
all the political agitation Of the present
critical period, the object which has en-
gagged, more than any other, the atten-
tion of the government Of the u. States
under the administration Of General Jack
son, has been that Of procuring favora-
BILE reception for female favorte of the
President in the fashionable circles of
Washington. The Secretary Of State is
seen to call at the Russian minister's
House. Probably there is some impor-
tant diplomatic movement going on in
Europe. Oh no! His business is to per-
suade Baron Krudner to give her ball.
Again, the President openly threatens to
Sc nd home the Dutch minister in disgrace.
He has no doubt taken umbrage at the
irregular proceedings Of the King of the
Netherlands in the arbitration. Not al
alI.-That is a very small matter. The
difficulty is that Mrs. Huygens obstinate
ly refuses to exchange civilties with her.
Formerly, when the President and the
Secretary of State met to transact busi-
ness, the first questions were, What des.
patches from abroad: What news from
the army or the navy?-What was done
yesterday in Congress? Under Gener.
al Jackson the case is dif1erent--Is sh.
invited to Mr.. IS balli No, but she
appeared last night at the British minis
r's,--Will Mrs. - consent to see
hcr?--No.-What? not even at large
parties?-I fear not: j employed all yes
terday morning in arguing with her upor
the subject but to no purpose. And wha
says the Dutch minister's lady' l an
happy to say that on my solemn assur
ance that Miss - will call upon her
Mrs H. has agreed to invite her to he
house. We have signed protocol t
that effect, which have with me. Tru
ly n most cdilying, pleasant, and above
all important topic for discussion between
a grey-headed President Of sixty-six an,
his Secretary Of State! The picture, a
our well-informed readers know, is no
even overcharged.

DUTEE j. PEARcE.-Our friends will
not permit us any longer to withhold the
unpleasant information, that this gentle
man ever since his last return from Wash
ington, has attached himself to and acted
with political party adverse and hos
tile to the National Republican party, to
which he has during the whole Of the
same time professed to belong.-He left
this town yesterday for Providence, with
the design as we are informed, of pre-
senting himself as delegate to the Ma
tional Republican Convention which was
held there last evening, for which office
he has not received the vote Of single
individual identified with the National
Republican party. We shall acquaint
our readers, as early as practicable, with
the reception that gentleman met with
from that respectable body, and at the
same time give more detailed account
Of his political conduct during the past
two or three months.
1t is with extreme reluctance that We
make this exposure, but justice TO the
cause in which we are engaged, compcls
us to give our friends in other parts of
the State this timely notice, to guard
them against imposition.

Gen. Dupcan.-We understand that
this gentleman, member of Congress from
Illinois, has followed in the train of the
multitude and comes out against the ad-
ministration. Among the principal caus-
es Of this step was the Presidents veto
on the Bank Bill and his rejection ofthe
Chicago Harbor Bill. In this, Gen. D.
has acted consistently. Before the close
Of the session Of Congress, whilst the
fate Of the two bills was yet unk known, he
addressed circular to his constituents
from which the following is an extract
"a bill has passed the Senate for re-
newing the charter Of the Bank Of the
United States, which will probably pass
the House Of Representatives If there is
time to act upon it. The institution is
one OF great use to the government in COL
lecting and safely keeping the public
moneys, and in sending It without risk
and expense. to any part Of the country
where It may be required for the public
service. 1t has put down all the swind-
ling banking institutions that few years
ago we're issuing, and passing off upon
the people, millions of spurious bank
notes, without specie or capital of any
kind to redeem them. 1t has produced
uniform currency, so that citizen of
one state can travel into another, without
suffering loss in the exchange of his
money.-Citizens of the old States can
now sell their property at home, for mon
ey that will enable them to emigrate to.
and settle in the new States, which was
not the case before the establishment of
this bank, and will not be the case again,
soon, if it be put down.

JOHN SERGEANT.
of Pennsylrania

A meeting of the National Republican
freemen was held in this town on Satur-
day evening last, pursuant to notice, for
the purpose Of electing six delegates to
attend the Convention which was held in
Providence last evening, TO nominate pres
idential Electors. The meeting was Or
ganized by the choice ofthe Hon. Thom-
as G. Pitman, Chairman, and N. S. Rug
giles, Esq. Secretary. Nominations be-
ing called for separately, the Hon. Dutee
j. Pearce, (and at the same time Mr..
Jos. G. Stevens, one Of our friends and a
National Republican, nominated Benja-
min Hazard, Esq as first but previous
to taking the vote it was deemed expedi-
ent to elect all the Representatives at
once, and they were accordingly elected
without opposition. .-Immediately upon
which, Mr.. Hazard, one of the delegates
elect, stated to the meeting that he had
made up his mind when he first saw the
notice for Convention, that he would
decline being delegate should he be
proposed-that certain political ant-ma-
sons had apologized for their having for
saken their former political friends and
principles by imputing their conduct to pro-
vocations received from him, and he had
therefore determined that on the present
occasion they should have no such excuse
to make, and this he had mentioned at
the time to one Of his friends whom he
was desirous should be one Of the dele
gates MIR. II. having thus declined,
the other four Representatives present,
(Mr. Bateman being absent,) declined
also, for the purpose Of making room for
other gentlemen, who were willing, tho
not anxious, to perform the duty Of dele
gates.
The following gentlemen were then u
unanimously elected delegates, with pow

 SIR-In your publication of l4th March last, addressed to RoGcrt C,7ten- den, Esq. &c. &c. you have fallen into an error, which ] deem it my duty to correct.
 The statement to which I allude is as follows: z Mr. Newton, a fine youth, who lived in your Mr. Crittenden's] family, challenged and fought Col. Se- yier, more on your [Crttenden'sl ac- count than his own, and why did you not interpose parental or legal means to preyentit2'
 Il is, sir, with unaffected regret, that find my humble name thus unneeessa- rily introduced into the controversy 1 between MT. Crittenden and yourself Having had my share of the troubles and difficulties which unfortunately oc- cured in Arkansas, in 1927, had fond iy hoped that every thing in relation 10 them had been long since buried in oblivion, and that ], al least, being now out of the country, should have been spared the trouble of ever referring 10 them again.
 But, sir, the great injustice that is done MT. Crittenden, in this matter, compels me 10 speak out.
 Ii is true, that al the time referred to, and for a long time previous, was member of MT. Crittenden's family; but that challenged and fought Col. Sevier, pore on MT. C's. account than my own," is entirely false. There is not the slightest ground for such a charge.
 The affair originated from private misunderstanding and misapprehen- sions, with which Mir. Crittenden had nomore to do than your Excelleney had, who was not in the country at the time.
 So far do tie facts is relation 10 this matter rary from the iiassauatiofas contain cd ID the above paragraph, tAat, hod hp adpiee given ty .Mr. Crlte7,den, or the re- nloHstraaaccs used ty hina on that oecasio,a. been offended 10, tue ofair srith Col.

 Mr. Crittenden did not, I presume, think it worth while, to s.request the. exertion of legal authority, because he had never seen it do much good where parties sere determined.p
 Having said thus much, sir, as an act of sheer justice to an honorable, high minded. and honest, yet much ;tbttsef and perseeuted man, ] take my leave of the subject, by adding, that, when your ExcelIency shall know as much as l do, of the vindictive and bitter hatred of q few individuals in Arkansas, to- wafdssMr. CritteBdcn, you will not be disposed to give credence to every tale borne to your years by the breath of calumny.
