Jackson and CLAW.

The Nashville Union of the 10Th ult. publishes
the following letter from the Patriot JACKSON, by
which it will be seen he is as prompt now as ever 10
rcpel fasehoods, from whatever source they may
come. The letter il written in reply to charges
made by Henry Clay, in speech at Nashville on
the i7lh ult, and gives that gentleman, as will be
seen or perusul, pretty severe basllng'
To the Ediior Of The Union:
SIR Being informed that the Hon. Henry Clay
of Kentucky, in his public speech ut Nashville yes
erdav, alleged that had appointed the Hon. Ed
ward Livingston, Secretary of State, when he was
dciiultcr and knowing him to be one, feel that
am justified in declaring the charge to be false.
it is known to all the country that the nominations
made by the President to the Senate are referred
to appropriate committees of that body, whose duty
it is 10 inquire into the character of the nominees,
and if there is any evidence Of default, or any dis
qualifying circumstances existing against them,
rejection of the nomination follows. Mr.. Living
ston was member of the Senate from the State Of
Louisiana, when he was nominated by me. Can
Mr.. Clay say that he opposed his nomination be-
cause he was delauer If so, the journals of
the Senate will answer But his confirmation by
the Senate is conclusive proof that no such obcc-
ton, if made was sustained, and am satisfied that
such charge could not have been sustained.
am also informed that Mr. Clay charged me
with appointed Samuel Swar,wou, collector of the
port Of New York, knowing that he had been an
associate of Aaron Burr. TO this charge it is proper
for me to say that knew of Mr. Swnrtwout's con-
nection with Aaron Rurr precisely as did that of
Mr.. CLAY himself, who if the history of the times
did not do him great injustice, was far from avoid
inc an association with Burr when he was at the
town of Lexington in Kentucky Yet Mr. Clay
was appointed Secretary Of State, and may say
confidently, with recommendations for character
and fitness not more favorable than those produced
to me bv the citizens Of New York in behalf of Mr..
Swartwout Mr. Clay too, at the time Of his own
arpointmer TO that hgh office, it will be recollect
ed, was directly charged throughout the Union with
having bargained for it, and by none was this charge
more earnestly made than by hi. associates in Ten
ncssec, Mcssrs. Bel and Foster.
Under all the circumstances, how contemplate
does this dcuagoguc appear, when he descends
from his high place in the Senate and roam over
the country, retailing ISLANDERS against the living and
the dead. ANDREW JACKSON.

last, alluded TO the probability of the federalists
being aided in the coming election by the funds of
the " fundmongcrs of England and elsewhere"
and remarked;

This paragraph met the eye of an American
merchant residing in London, who wrote to a COM
mercial House III New York, (rhis letter has been
published in the New York Post) under date of
July 2Sth, 1910, as follows:
''The paragraph struck me at the time, and

Are the people this country willing to be bought
by British gold; Are they willing to enter into an
alliance, offensive and defensive, with the wings Of
England, who have so long trodden upon the dear
est rights of humanity? and by whose unjust acts
millions of the population under the British govern
mcnt are at this moment in n most destitute condl-
ton, and hundreds dying daily from actual sarva-
tion' Forbid it, justice; forbid it Heaven. Let it
never be said of Americans, that they connive with
English Bankers in the unholy and nhuman war
fare, of trompng upon the inaIienabIc rights of
man, and bringing a large portion of their fellow
men to an unlimcIy grave, That our country may
never exhibit the spectacle which is now exhibited,

MORE VIOLENCE.

Senator SourHARp, who said before the ad-
iournment in his place in the Senate, that he dis
regarded the will of the people, in IA speech at Il
meeting in New Brunswick, since his return home,
has threatened resort to arms for the purpose of
forcing the 'broad SEAL members into the House
of Repres ,ntatives. The FREEDMAN, Federal
paper, thus reports his remarks, viz:
"Tha, seal was made in blood and he, for one.
said it SHOULD be reieemei in blood, if no other
way"
By the Constitution, the House Of Representa-
tives is the exclusive Judge Of the election and
qualification of its own members. Ithas Judged in
this case that the men who had majority of the
votes were the true Representatives of the people
We, a Senator threatens BLOOD if the House do
not admit men whose only claim is the broad seal
Of the Governor affixed TO false and fraudulent
certificates.
Here is the identical doctrine of Gov. Ritner
who would have deluged Pennsylvania in blood IL
mpcse on the Legislature the fraudulent certificate

nance of the Government. This aid was continued
until they threw off all responsibility to the laws
refused to pay any part of their debts to the "oV
eminent or people, and fell to work for the purpose
of compelling both the State and General govern
ments to sanction their acts, and recognise their IT.
redcemable notes as money. Even then, all the
General Government asked was, The prtriieSe Of
hGring nothing 10 do lcM them. 1t desired to
leave them to their sovereign masters, the people
of the States to say whether they should stand or
fall, But our pririeged order" were not salts fled
with being left to the enjoyment in full of all their
lawful rights and powers They wanted to secure
additional privileges and immunilies which the
laws did not give them. They wanted TO place
themselves abore HE lar, to secure the gratuitous
use of the public moneys as matter Of right; and
for these purposes, they have been carrying on for
three years an unceasing warfare on the present
Administration, Driven to desperation by seeing
themselves deprived oflhe use the public money,
one of the great objects of their ambition, by the
establishment of an Independent Treasury, they
nave renewed tnclr assaults upon tue NONcIhihtht

pie with revolution and blood if they do not march
to the polls and vote according to their bidding
This brings us to the true question now in issue,
1t is not whether there shall be banks in the coun-
try or not bu, it is whether the "pririIeged order"
Of bankers ShaH gOrern the country, anu make
erery thing subserrientio their araricc and am
biiion, or whether The people shall retaia The Cor
ernmcnt in their own hdads? The decision to be
given upon this issue is momcntous; it involves the
fate Of our Republic, the question of LIBERTY
or SLAVERY. If the bankers prevail, our Gov
eminent will Immediately be destroyed, or what is
more likely, become an oligarchy in which The ru-
linz principlc wHI be ararice If the people pre-
vail, the bankers will be confined to the legitimate
exercise of their existing privileges, so restricted by
new regulations as to secure the community against
their abuses and usurpations in future, or, in case
the present audacous attempt be pushed too far,
their abused privileges may be taken from them,

MORE FORCE & ARMS THREATENED

Mr.. JONI BELL Of Tennessee, very modcstly
hints in the following paragraph of letter address
ed by him to Federal club in his State, that if his
party and the British Bank, (Which he considers the
sum total of our 'our counlry's institutions are
in the presen, contest dishonorcd and overhrown,
the appeal to the reason of the people will no lon
ger be urged. 1t may (he says) call forth deeper
passions, and awaken different energies " In this
event, Mr.. Bell more than insinuates that he is
ready to bear hand in the civic war proposed by
Captain Stockton to supercedc the ballo, box
Hear him:
"Thc appeal is now To reason. No feelings but
those of patriotism, love justice, and equal rights,
need be invoked as get; though the day may come,
when scene of injury and oppresson-of lndls-

The above advice was given by Capt Stockton
to the Federal wings on Saturday, to wit: "to beat
the Democrats peaceably possible; if not success
full in that way, then to resort to FORCE" The
language was sanctioned by the meeting, From
this it appears they intend when beaten, like Gov,
Riincr, to treat the election AS iflhey had not been
defeated and call out the troops, aud attempt to
put down by the bayonet those whom they cannot
vote down at the ballet box. Broad swords are to
be introduced in the place Of broad seals Come

dates will find the pcoplr ready to meet and de-
