POLITICAL CONSPIRACY.
ADAM HUN7SM4NS DEVELOPMENTS
That there Is now on foot political con-
spiracy, by Mr.. Van Buren, aud his friends,
to break down the compromise bill, and dc.
stroy It's wise, equitable, and salutary pro-
visions, is fact beglnnln. TO be pretty well
understood. "lHE PARTY wishes 10 re.
cede from the position Iuto 1hich II has
been forced BY the voice OF the people, on
the subject Of distributing the surplus reve
nue., aud Is now protesting vehemen,ly
against what It calls system OF taxing the
people, tor the purp ,se Of collecting great
national revenue, To be corrup.ly distributed
among the States,-a system which they
we'll know never has been adopted, aud new
err can be adopted until the Intelligence and
patriotism OF the people are destroy ed.
The object, now, Is to attack and destroy,
II possible, thus compromise bill between tue
north aud the south. Maddened 10 despera.
ton by the passage OF the deposite bill,
which has rested from the Hau N power,
the immense revenue which they wish and
intend 10 use, IN mlnlstrrlng 10 their own
corrupt ambition, Mr.. Van Buren, has al.
ready commenced the attack upon 1t, IN his
letter 10 Sherrod NllIlamS, and the Globe
boldly denUunces II as an act Of the most
corrupt legislation. THIS attack Is made
under the pretended cover Of opposition IL
The tariff, and IS intended "a have an effect
upon the W hHe cause, b, az endeasor to
make out, that those who are friendly to a
faithful adherence to The solemn pledge made
BY our members 10 congress, under the de
hberdte sanction ii their oath, are endca.
yorIng 10 tasten the protective sy stem upon
the south aud the west. A charge unfair
uuinuudeu, and Else to the last degree.
As a matter Of considerable importance
IN connection With this conspiracy, Hon
Adam ilun,sman, a member Of congres,
+ from Madison county, recently made de-
yelopemeut, whether adylsedly or not, | u
not know,-bui certainly worthy OF deel
consideration. Al the internal Improve
meut meeting held IN this place Nashville,
on the night OF the eth ms, Mr.. Hunsmal
was delegate l,om MADISON county, and 10 .
speech upon the political influence and bear
rug on the internal improvement question
10 connection With the dcposlie bli Of ias
session u Congress, stated that slnce has a.
rival a, Nashville, I've had heard Il rumorec
that President jackson, IN has message {,
the coming session Of Congress, intended
20 recommend repeal 81 the " compromise
with a view of destroyin. the saIu,afy pro
visions OF the depGsie bhi. lie said he DID
not believe It to be the fact. ~ hat Gen
Jackson was soIemnly, deliberately, anc
from thorough convection, committed to the
support Of The principles developed IN tina
bill. lie spoke, he SAID, auihorlNely, an,
from facts which came personally under h.,
own observation. H. was present Whef
the deposne bill came from the Senate. i
vas handed 10 Gen. jackson, who said lha
m lis present shape be would lie compelle,
to veto IT from constitutional scIupies, bu
that he could frame an amendment, whrcl
If adopted, would meet his foil appreciation
and enable hun 10 approve 1t without any
sacrifice Of principle. lie vas reqneste,
70 do so-and ferIred with the Atlorne,
General, i. +. Buller,-wrote the amend
ment which was copied by his Secretar,
Mr. Donclson, aud handed to Mr.. Anthony
a devoted friend Of the Presidents fron
Pennsy wanna, who offered il 10 the House
where II was finally adopted, aud being thet
July and 1nequisocalIy expressive Of Jack
sons sentiments, was approved by him, ant
is now tie law of the land.
This Development Is Of high importance
to the people If the union. Iflhe comproql.
'se bill - to he destroyed, and the pledged
faith Of tho nation, which but two or three
years back stayed the progress Of nulllfca
ton, and tGraed back DISTINCTIONS wave
from the institutions Of the republc,-to b,
broken and violated, Gcn. Jackson caBno
aid IN the unhoy attempt. Upon Van Bu
ren and his "rassdi hrdHs," alone, vii
rest the deep damnalIon Of the deed.

New York lnlrlguer, the heavy response

fear will again break up the foundations o
the "gfeat deep" Of political bitterness
and over"helm our liberties and our uniot
IN one common ruin.
