Correspondence.

The visit of Mr.. Clay to Tennessee, by
invitation, has aroused the indignation OF
Gen. Jackson and we find the following let
ter from him, with the reply Of Mr. Clay
We suhjoin both letters.
SIR Being informed that the Hon. Henry
Clay, Of Kentucky, in his public speech al
Nashville yesterday, alleged that had ap-
pointed ,he Hon. Edward. Livingston, Secre.
iary .f State, when he was deIauller and
knowing him TO bc one, feel that am jusl.
ned in declaring the charge to be false. IL
il known to all the country that the nolnina
ilons made by The President to The Senate,
are referred To appropriate committees OF that
body, wliose duty il Is TO enquire into The
character Of the nominees, aud that IL there
s any evidence of default, or any dlsqnallty-
ing circumstances existing against lheD, a
rejection Of @the nomination follows. MIR.
Livingston was a member Of the Srnnlc from
the State Of Louisiana when he was noniina
ten by me. Can Mr.. Clay say that he op
posed his nomination because he was de-
iaulier? II so, the journals Of The Senate
will answer. But his confirmation by the
Senate Is conclusive proof that no such OBJ
lection, IT made, was sustained, aud | am
satsicd tliat such charge could not have
been sustained.
un, nlso lnformed that Mr. Clay charged
me with appointing Samuel Swnrlwolh Col
lcctor Of The port OF New York, knowing that
he had been an associate of Aaron Burr -
TO this charge IL is proper for me to say, that
knew Of Mr.. Swartwoul's connection with
Aaron Burr, precisely as J did'ihat OF Alr.
Ciay himseG who, if The history OF Tie times
did not do inm greut injustice, was far from
avoiding an association with Burr when he
was al the town OF Lexington, IN Kentucky.
Yet MIR. Clay was appointed Secretary oi
State, aud may say Confidently with recon-
nendntons for character and fitness not more
favorable than those produced to me by the
citizens of New York IN behaIfof Mr.. Swart.
wou,. Mr. Clay too at the time of his own
appointment to that high office, it will be
iecoli.clcd, was directly charged throughout
The Urion with having bargained for il, and
by none was this churse more earnestly made
than by his present associates in Tennc ssec,
Nessrs. Bell and Foster.
Under all the circumstances, how cOnteiDp.
,ible does thus demagogue appear, when he
dcscends from his high place in the Senate
and rounis over The country, retailing sian.
ders against the living and The dead.

LETTER No. 4.
TO NsE. VAN BGFeEN.

/ President OF THE UNITED STATES.
SIR
Our paper currcncies, TO which
VIC owe our rapid advances in public
improvements and private wealth, rapid
beyond all example hitherto known in
the world; that in twenty years have
accomplished the work Of centuries for
other countries, these currencies were
without an enemy-at least an open
enemy, before you and your party
came into power. Now you, and the
party under your head, are arrayed in
open, declared hostility against them,
and stimulated to a desperate dctcrmin-
alton TO destroy them entirely, totally,
in all the States. This object cngross-
cs the whole mind of the government,
it is concern in which every other is
absorbed and lost sight of; it is made a
life and death struggle.
Now, for three years past, it has been
your steady pursuit to drill your party,
and to bring them up TO this sticking
point. You began with few Loco Fo-
cos in New York and a few in Phila-
delphia, with many of your own party
called conscrvatves,) against you,
and with its main body reluctant to the
measure. That reluctansc you have
overcome, but the Conservatives you
have not been able to subdue, nor to
scduco, except in few instances. In-
finite have been your pains in that drill,
and wonderful your success. The
whole party press was enlisted TO aid
you, and it opened, like one pack 10
full cry against tho banks, till the
whole party echoed back the cry. You
have been ut the pans to send abroad
for the Treasury statistics of all the
specie countries of Europe, and on, of
Europe. TO indoctrinatc your leaders
in both Houses of Congress, in these
statistics. They, too, have opened in
one chorus, against the Banks, and re-
peaied from those statistics as from n
RuGric in all their Sub-Treasury speech
es. There was, il is true, little iarring
in the chorus, from some who were
not quite perfect in their lessons, but
none in their votes; nor in those of the
rank aud file under them. In these cf-
forts you have been often defeated, but
never discouraged, and at last your per-
severance has been crowned with sue
cess. As is natural in victory OBJ
tanned after successive defeats. and ai-
ter Ione aud arduous struggle, youI

equally by all the Banks in the country.
For there is an involuntary necessary
of all the Banks, thnt bind
them together in one indissolubie sys-
ten, and a great pressure for specie on
one part of the system must be fsit'by
ALL and equally by all. Their issues
are the chords Of This connection, which
bind them together, and which will
obligc each Bank to contribute in pro-
portion to its issues, to answer this cx-
action, so tina, your Independent Treas
ury must ultimately crush every Bank
in the country.
This is what is intended by it, and
thereby TO Danish paper. anGto make
specie the sole medium. This intention
was distinctly avowcd by several in the
Senate, and was claimed as merit; it
was virtually admitted by all It's adyo-
Gates, for their argument was rested on
the tendency Of the system to produce
this result. Indeed an independent
Treasury could have no other rational
object. For as to safe keeping, Banks
are safer than individuals can be for
this purpose, and MS to specie, it is
pueriIe to consider that as better than
the paper Of specie paying Banks
These colorable pretenccs for the
scheme, were SO thoroughly exposed
and exploded that It's bolJer advocates
felt themselves obliged to defend it on
its ultorior Object, that Of bringing back
the country TO the constitutional cmrcn-
cy, meaning thereby to currency cx-
clusivcly metallic. Such then was in
tended to bc--such will be its result.
Let the people Of this great country
then understand, that the issue now
put to them, and TO be decided by them
in the impending Presidential contest,
is distinctly this whether their coun-
try shall be reduced to the condition Of
the hard money countries Of Europe,
with low wages for labor, say ten cents
per day, and with but little demand for
labor even at low wages that is,
whether the quarter part of this people
shall he reduced to want, to priyation,
to squalid povcliy--ns are the laboIin
classes in those countries with low
prices for all the products of our own
labor, and with high prices for all the
imported products of foreign labor, and
with but little or no market for our own
products even at low prices that is,
whether our produce shall cease to lie
productive to the producer, and pro-
duction itself shall consequently cease;
and whether the whole enterprise of
this country shall be chcckcd-its srir-
it broken ard destroyed, and she be ar
rested in her career OF prosperity, and
whether her march, instead of being
onward to increasing wealth-to useful
and splendid improvemcnts--to gran
dcur and national happiness shall ret
rogradc and descend in gradaton DOWN
ward from plenty and elegance, to the
mere convenicnces of life from CON
venicnces to the mere necessarics; from
necessarcs to want, to barbarism, to
national insi gniicancc. Such is the al
tcrnative 10 this country, depending on
the issue now put to this people, and
awful is their responsibility to them
selves how they shall decide it.
Very respectfully,

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury ii became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
larproducton was introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year l7s3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human ays-
TEN, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer
sal and healing virtues the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glanduar
part of the system are such as will sustain their
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.
