| IaclSscnisrn AMI the true faith. To hide some
things which you had rather should be forgotten,
you have reay been almos. too oiicioas and
since your elevation to the Guardianship of the
Committee, III compare yoato nothing but pa

less stranger stray within league of your adopted
territory, straight the welkln rings with your be
eose lowings, and At the blcatlng OF six months
yearlns, you gore the bushes and toss up the sand
as fupon your single proaess depended the wei
! fare and safety of the whole flock.
One of the reasons Mr.. Chairman, for your las,
tremendous " flourish Of trumpets," was to sign
yourself" Chairman otthe Jackson corresponding
committee for the county of Amhers, and the
Grand Mogul, in all the plenutlc of his despotism,
never felt his Importance more sensibly than you
did, when you mailed your tmphatit, logttM and
italieisca abortion 70 The Vrs!nian Honor and
glory and rcnown danced before you rapt vision,
and promotion and offices and distinction fitted be-
fore your heated imagina,lon-Ja and Van
Buren, were laid undsr eternal debt OF gratitude,
and in the derium Of fancy you were already the
bosom friend and counsellor cf the facoiios Martin
Now, Mr.. Chairman, am perfectly willing that
you should erect many castles in the air us you
please neither have the least objection 10 Gen
Jackson or the lililc bald coot of Undertook giving
you amy thing they please You, perhaps, deserve
ii, about much as some others, particularly since
your wearisome and tlrcsome, aye aud booess trip
TO Washington last summer. But do most
solemnly protest against your infringing and in
trud,ng upon the rights and feelings Of others, and
that to, at the expense ollruth
You say, speaking OF the meeting Of the Eth
August, =" 1t is known in pursuance ofthe notice,
meeting took pace-that 1t was resolved by voice
approaching unaninity, TO support the Jackson and
Van Buren, ticket--that III the process OF charging
the corresponding committee, no gentIenian's name
was inserted who was nor present. and gave his as
sent &c. &c. &c. Now, my dear commodore,
- mark how plain tale will put you down" The
voice of that meeting upon the subject of the Vice
Presidency was not taken at all No one knows
better than yourself that majority of that meeting
would have voted, and will vote, for Bartour-you
dared not put it upon that issue. With the usual
trickcry and Juggling vf Van Burcnism, motion
was made by yourself that a committee Of five
should be appointed TO take that subject into
slderaon, and report their views thereon to IN al
ourncd meeting, to be held during the Court. The
gentleman who presided at that meeting was u
warm friend of Van Buren,, ard appointed four
thorongl,oing partizans OF Vans, yourself onc,)
! and one Barbour man, as that committee. The
four friends OF Van Buren, met and decided on u
! set otresoutons, approving the Baltimore nomina
ton, without over consulting the fifth, any further
than to inform him that the majority had selected
| Martin; and you well know that there wns
nm ,nd of,he matter. The adjourned meeting,
where The ohjectins mcmbcr of the committee would
! have exposed the management of the satellites OF
| V. Buren,, and laid tie matter fairly before the
meeting, when you know the result would have
been any thing but favour ,be your beloved hero
of indeghook in fac, never did take place at all,
your no,oc Of the proceedings IN the papers 10 the
contrary notw outstanding. You also well know.
that several Of the gentlemen repeatedly asked the
question, whether or not being placed upon the cor
responding committee would be considered as Il
pledge TO support V. BurenW III the ayawedo
iccs ot.rasng their names and Withdrawing from
the meeting, and forthwith getting mp Jackson
and Barbour meeting, fH was SO considered. Yet,
sir with all thf>e facts staring you ~ the face you
have the etirdntcry TO say, and that too through the
medium Of the plcss, that the meeting, with 81
voice approaching unanm,ty, resolved 10 support
the Jackson aud V. Buren, ticket, and that the !
gentlemen to when you were replying Consented 10
be placed upon the }. and v B. corresponding cou-

which have thus giveh to the proceedings of the
meeting referred 10, which places one OF as IN no
envable position, is not based upon my own rccoi

J perfectly agree ith me in the above statement
! In conclusion of this part Of the subject let me
again repeat, that you have done those gentlemen
whosa publications you thought proper 10 notice,
| rank injustice You have stated occurrences as
having taken place at that meeting which never did
take place any where, and have ascrlbed to them
motives for their conduct which would even have
dsgraced oIp irat cal Commodore
! The most charitable Interpretation which can be
put upon your conduct is, that you hosc not viii
fully mi STATED but really dreamed the things
which you Published. The distinguished honor of
being Chairman to a Jackson Communicable
hopes ofhonar and promotion which have 50 long
gittcred before your iancy-your late tripto Wash

Hero and, by means Q. Other, came INTO pos

on your mind that many grams OF allowance snuuld
be made for YOU But OF tins you may be assured,
that you Go use your own quotation, bat where
