FOR THE SALT RIVER JOURNAL.
Mr.. Editor:-
In the Journal Of the 18th inst, over the
signature Of " Umenes," appears an article
upon the subject Of the fraud and peculation,
which rumor, with her thousand clamorous
tongues, has recently imputed to the Clerk
of the county our of Pike county, and
which the writer charges the majority of the
court with e%ndeavoring to hush up, smuggle
or conceal from the people.
That our public affairs should be managed
with prudence, and with a due regard 10
the welfare of our state and county," as as.
sumed by Umenes, no good member Of COM
nunity, l trust, will c%ontrovert /; and if such
facts exist, as he charges, explanation alone
would hardly be admitted as a sufficient
atonement to an injured community. But
think he mistakes, or misstates the case; and
that every thing like mystery, fraud, or even
wrong, will, upon s~trictest scrutiny, be found
among the missing.
What he calls "the auditors trausaction,n
(which he says is very mysterious) l shall
endeavor to state with brevity and truth, so
far as my knowledge extends.

Of the country want to enable them to arrive at
correct conclusisns, is the diffusion among them Of
TRurH." A WORKING Man.
Mr.. Editor:-To the above sentiment,
quoted from n of your democratic cores
pondents, l give my most hearty assent
though unfortunately, there are very few Of
his statements to which l can assent. do
believe, sir, that nothing but the want of the
dissemination among them of truth, has pre-
vented thousands of "honest democrats"
long since, from " arriving at correct conclu.
sions' with regard to the great questions that
now agitate, and have agitated the country
for years past. But it is a melancholy fact,
that since the accession of Genl. Jackson to
the Presidency, and the adoption of some of
his principal measures, the truth has been
fenced out and concealed from the people, as
far as the tremendous power and patronage
Of the government could effect it. Since
that unfortunate epoch in the history of our
country, all independence of the press or of
the people, has been prescribed and banished
as far as practicable, while the corrupt, the
debased, and depraved sewers of filth, false.
hood and abuse, have been sustained at the
public expense as the necessary means of sus-
tanning ilI-gotten power and public abuses
The post Office department, once the boosted
offspring of liberty and free government, the
medium through which all freemen of all
parties might freely communicate with each
other, is no longer the pure and undefled
stream through which public intelligence can
be transmitted, like the dews Of heaven, to
oil men alike. but is % the potent and cor
rupt machine Of despotism, through which are
poured in torrents, the streams of falsehood,
of Misrepresentation and error, while every
thing calculated to @disseminate truth" or to
expose faIsehood and error, is as much as
practicable suppressed. Its agents, with
comparatively but few honorable exceptions,

extravaganza has existed in this branch OF
the public service under the democratic adj
mInistration, as in all others. II is proper al
so to observe, that in addition to the above
list Of vessels, there are eleven vessels inclu-
ding the Pennsylvania ship Of the line, report.
ed as " on the stocks" and in "ordinary,"
some of which | am informed were CONNER
ced under Mr.. Adams administration, but
what part, | cannot now say. But enough
is shown in the above table, to prove beyond
all doubt, that during Mr.. Adams admlnlstra-
ton there was a larger and much more efi-
cient increase Of the navy. than there was
during the same time at any period of the
two last administrations, and yet this ranting
advocate of "truh" and "public justice"
has the hardihood to assert from "persondl
hno,1ledge'' that there were now, " no more
of these causes for an increase OF exPendl-
ture under the administration of Messrs. Ad-
ans and Clay - Comment certainly must
be unnecessary before an enlightened commu-
nifty, on such facts, and on such bold asser.
tons in the face of them.
Had the time or the disposition TO pursue
any further this fanfaronade Of ignorance and
Misrepresentation. - call it by no worse
name, | could easily show that there is just
as little reliance tss11,4aced in any Of his
assertions as those above noticed. But
enough, think, has been proven to show
that he is either stupidity ignorant Of the sub.
iects he is attempting to discuss, (and to try
to give i; more weight, adds from his "per-
sonal knopledge,') or else that he intention
ally states what he knows 10 be untrue. !
leave him to choose which ever horn Of the
dilemma suits him best. But to all "honest
democrats"I would say, let the error proceed
either from ignorance or design, can you place
the least reliance on any Of this writer's as
sertions when he attempts to palm of" on
you such gross misstatements as | have ex
posed! There is but one more remark of
attention, and for once more | must agree
with him, but on the principle tina, heard a
lawyer advance a short time since in a trial
before a court, which was, that a uiiness's
admissions were good testimony against him
but his statements in his own favor to be re-
ceived If at all, with allowance. This re-
mark Of Cincinnatus is that in which he says
there were no Indian wars during Mr.. Ad-
ans administration. This sir, is one Of the
highest compliments that can be paid to his
administration; for while he bought, millions on
millions Of acres of public land Of them for the
small price Of ten cents an acre, by the wis
dom, justice, and prudence Of his measures, he
preserved peace with them; whilst on the con-
trary. his successors paid from double to Sc
ven times the price Of Mr.. Adams for their
lands. and yet involved the country in inter-
mindble wars with them. Yes sir, the inter.
course Of Genl. Jackson's administration
with the Indians, taken in all its aspects, has
left a dark stain on the history Of the country.
