We perceive that the Locofocos in different
parts oftbe country, are celebrating the pas
sage Of the leg-Treasury bill. In some pla-
ces they celebrate it by Examinations, in 9TH
ers by the discharge of guns, in others by
shows Of various descriptions. In our opin-
ion, the most appropriate mode Of celebrating
it would be by foot races Prentice.

GEN. JACKSON AND MIR. CLAY.

From TIE Na&triNe Uhig, Rug. 81.
~ In the Nashville Union of w Wednesday
there appeared the following card;
10 the Editor Of tie Union:
SIR: Being informed that the Hon. Henry
Clay of kentucky. i'll his public speech at
Nashville yesterday, alleged that had APP
pointed the Hon. Edward Livingston Secre-
tary of state when he was defaulter and know
ing him to be one, j feel that l am justified in
declaring the charge to be false. 1t 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 il is to inquire into the character of the
nominees, and that ifthere is any evidence Of
.default, or any disqualifying circumstance
existing against them, a rejection of the NOM
ination follows. Mr.. Livingston was MEM
Der of the Senate from the State Of Louisiana
when he was nominated by me. Can Mr..
Clay say that he opposed the confirmation of
his nomination, because he was defaulter
If so, the journals of the Senate will answer.
But his confirmation by the Senate is conclu-
sive proof that no such objection, if made, was
sustained and am satisfied that such a
CHARGE as-airst him could not have been sub
Stimulated.
am also informed that Mr.. Clay charged
me with appointing Samuel Swartwout col
lector OF the port al n. y ork, knowing that he
had been an associate Of Aaron Burr. To this
<charge it is yfoper to sag that ! knew Of Mr..
Swartwcut. connection with Aaron Burr,
precisely a. / did that of MIR. Clay himself,
whoif the history Of the times did not do him
great injustice, was far from avoiding an as
sociotion with Burr when he was at the town
of Lexington in Kentucky. Yet MI Clay
was appointed Secretary of State, and j may
say confidently with recommendations for
character and fitness not moro favorable than
those produced to me by the citizens OF New
= York in behalf Of Dir. Swartwout. Mr.. Clay
100 at the time of his own appointment to
that high Office, it will be recollected, was di
rectly charged throughout the Union with
having bargained for it, and by none was this
charge more earnestly made than by his pre-
sent associates in Tennessec, Messrs. Bell
and Foster.
Under such circumstances how contempti-
BILE does this demagogue appear, when he de-
scends from his high place in the Senate and
roams over the country, retailing ISLANDERS a

A DREADFUL PICTURE OF VICE AND ITS RESULTS
The Baltimore Sun furnishes shocking picture OF
recent case of crime and consequences in that CITY,
A woman of respectable connexions fell from her pu-
rity some years since, and became an outcast. She
followed through the different grades of vice, from
guilt and shame to infamy and despair; from glldcd
luxury to squald poverty, until at length she was
compelled herd with the most miserable of the dis
solue blacks in the suburbs She had long been dis
cardcd by her friends but sister hearing ofher des-
titute state sent benevolent gentleman TO seek her
and to cndeavor reclaim her The path of virtue.
He found her ina frame house in Pitt street near Hart
ford rum in the midst ola motley assemblage of black
and whites of the most depravcd character, and sur
rounded by filth and the squadness of poverty. The
gentleman left her relief and Friday last he
sent two others of the samcknd disposition to see
her. when they entered the house a scene presented
itself almost too horrid for description. The blacks
and other inmates of thehouse rotina in boastly
intoXication and in of the rooms the body Of the
wretch who once pure, pious and lovely was
found lying on the floor bloaed corpse surrounded
by filth and yet more horrible the rats had devourcd
nearly one side of her check. The demons who held
their orgies in the hove, yelled their curses at the
gentlemen for asking them to remove the corpse TO
more fitting place, and they were compelled to hasten
from scene which almost chilled the blood with hor-
ror, and which nothing but imperative sense of du-
~ would ever have compelled them to look upon
Notice was given to the proper authorities and the
corpse was inferred the same evening.

SALTPETRE IN MEAT.

NfLssRs. GAhLuKD Il TUCkER In the
18th number of the last volume OF the Guilt
vator, there appeared communication on
the use of saltpctrc in curing meat; and the
following reason was assigned for abandon
ing its use, viz: sit ought to be known that
saltpetrc absorbed by the meat, is nitric acid,
or aqua fortis-a deadly poison, whereby
our salt meat becomes unpalatable and per-
nicious." A sufficient answer to which IS
found in the fact, that one Ofthe constituents
of common salt is muriatic acid, as deadly a
poison as the nitric acid of the saltpetrc.
And we might with as much propriety say,
that the salt absorbed by the meat is muriatic
acid, as to say that the saltpctrc is nitric acid
or aqua forts: therefore, the objection APP
plies with as much force and truth to the use
Of the one as the other.
Saltpetrc is the product of chemical union
between nitric acid and potassa, (potash)-
and salt is the product of a like union between
muriatic acid and soda-and in these, as in
all other cases of chemical combination, the
substances combining not only lose their pro-
pertics, but the substances produced gene
rally possess properties entirely different
frequently the very opposite Of those of either
oftheir constituents. From which it follows,
that perfectly innocent compound may be
produced by the combination of two nonious
substances-or noXious compound by the
combination of two innocent substances: and
it is very improper and well CALCULATED to
miscad, to designate a compound substance
by the name Of either oft constituents, as
in the communication referred to, in which
nitric acid and saltpctre are several times
used as if they were but dilleren. names io'
