Nem 3ork Correspondence.
New YoRK, June 9th, 1912

New YORK, June 9th, 1912.
Mr.. EDITOR: suppose you have read an ae-
count of the proceedings of the meeting held
in this city last week for the purpose of noml-
mating Henry Clay for the next Presidency
You will perceive that the resolutions passed at
that time, in relation TO President Tyler, are in
strict accordance with the disgraceful conduct
Of his enemies in other parts Of the country.
am happy to know that the opinions expressed
in those resolutions AMI in the letters read on
that occasion, are not responded TO by all the
citizens of New York. Mr. Tyler will find
that there are thousands of his countrymen in
this State ready TO render him manly and de-
termined support, and if, as the gentleman from
South Carolina says, 81 is a reproach TO be
known as Tyler man. there are more who de-
serve that reproach than he is aware OF, and
who do not blush for it.
| think the friends Of the President through
out the country are called on TO take measures
for his support, to vndicate his character from
the unjust aspersions that have been cast upon
ii, and 10 show his enemies that, notwithstand-
ing the gross vtuperation and abuse so freely
bestowed on him, they still have confidence IN
his integrity, and are willing TO uust him with
the administration Of the Government.
A body of citizens of this city have already
organised for his support under the name OF the
democratic Tyler Central Committee OF the
State of New York They think the time has
not yet arrived which requires them to enter on
contest for the next Presidency, but they be-
lieve it to be the duty of all to support the Pre-
sident in the exercise Of his official duties and
more especially at this time, when they behold
him attacked on all sides, by men urged on ia
this crusade Ly rancorous hate and grasplng am
bition.
From all parts Of the country we hear com
plants of Congress for negecting the most
pressing wants Of the country-sulterlng the
contracts of the Government to be dshonored
while they, our misrepresentation are actively
engaged in devising plans for embarrassing the
Executive and attempting TO place him IN an
odiou light before the People, for the purpose OF
promoting their own selfish objects There is
way to remedy this. The People possess
the power, and if they wish the Executive Of
| the Government TO be respected, and the busi
ness OF the country TO be attended to, they must
use that power

MORE OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

letter to the Savannah Republican, dated Port
Plat, May 2lst, furnishes the following painful
picture:
.sFrom the eth of this month to the present time
we have had succession OF earthquakes, doing the
most incredible damage. The cities of St Domin-
90, St. Jago, the Cape Hayten, Isabella, st Marc,
Fort Liberty, Cape Nicola al Mole, Gonaives, and
every place heard from, are totally destroyed with
nearly all their inhabitants, not enough being left to
bury the dead. Vessels have been thrown on shore,
also rocks of immense size from the bosom of the
deep, cities thrown down, and Others buried by the
sea, completely sunk, as also many large tracts OF
land containing numerous Plantations, We have not
as vet heard Of one half Of the damage done Porte
Plate has suffered materially, its finest buildings be-
ing thrown down. also part of the Church and Fort,
two assiye erections of stone which have stood the
test of ages, Augusiin and Blase's buildings, which
were supposed to be the strongest in this place
mass of ruins To add to the horrors of the scene,
many places took fire after the houses fell, and were
burning at the last accounts BY wonderful Provl-
dence no lives were lost in this place. In so large
place the Cape, scarce two hundred remain, and
in St Mare which is sunk it is said that but four
escaped Numbers of the wounded and those who
escaped, have arrived in this place. What will be
the consequence, God only knows, scarcity of pro-
vision perhaps famine must he the consequence I'M
less we receive external aid. We experience shocks
daily and the appearance of the weather indicates
hurricane which is ioretod with confidence by those
experienced in such matters. Martial law IS pro-
claimed throughout, and we are compelled to be I'M
der arms day and night for the protection OF our lives
and property, as it is feared some commoton might
take place i'm consequence of this evulson of Nature
and add the miseries of war to our other mlsorunes
Language cannot describe what have attempted to
portray nor you who sit in safety imagine the horr-
bic effects of this devastation"

But | will not pursue the subject further. MY
thanks are due to the Legislatures OF New York
Ohio, and Michigan for their expressions CALCULATED
to induce Congress TO wipe from my memory the I'm,
putaton upon il by the act of this yrannlca and
vindctiye Judge. My thanks are due, also, to that
portion of the Senate which has expressed wish 10
refund the fine, but not the principle conlended
for by those who amended the original bill am
obliged TO regard the proyiso of Mr. Bayard, adopted
by the majority, as int nded to insult my feelings
What! take from Congress money instead OF justice
When | apply TO Congress- it will be to demand JUS
tice, not To ask favor The patriotic States OF New
York, Ohio, and Michigan, did not ask Congress TO
extend to favor. They wanted the stain upon
my character, imposed upon it by Judge Hall, with
out good reason, wiped away.
With the smiles of Providence, and by The ala OF
my brave compatrots arms, after many days oil
toll and nights of watchfuluess, New Orleans was
preserved from the hostile tread Of foreign Toe, and
her amiabe females protected from insult and poll-
ton. In the struggle, risked my health, my lie,
and what is dearer than either, my reputation and,
if the honorable Senators from louisiana, Messrs
Conrad and Barrow believe that ought to be hned
and dsgraced for it, leave them to ENJOY all the sa-
tisiaction which refined patriotism can bring
them
am, very sincerely and truly, your friend,
ANDREW JACKSON.

men of the kind and willing to do what can well
be required of us to suppress Them.
The late Act of the Legislature providing for call

whole will receive cur support We hope our po-

We who are members of the Legislature under the

of ever again taking our seats in the same--some of
us have made public avowals of our determination
upon this subject.

LETTER FROM GENERAL JACKSON.

I1EMiTAGE, June y, lS4Z.
DEAR SIR; have received your letter of the Oath
Of May last and, since, | have also received the
Globe containing the speech of Senator Conrad of
louisiana on the bill to refund to me the fine, sc.
imposed by Judge Hall, who is styled by Mr. Conrad
the upright Judge
The feeling and sentiment displayed by Mr.. Con-
rad in his speech truly astonish me. They are the
very opposite of those entertained by the patriots
who were engaged in the defence of New Orleans,
not one of whom considered Judge Hall as perform
ing tie part of a good citizen in the proceedings
which he instituted against me. They such as
Abner l.. Duncan, Esq.--under whose patronage MIR.
Conrad was raised and who, with the character of
distinguished jurst, combined that of the fearless
soldier and the good man-would have been ashamed
to avow Although at that time Mr.. Conrad was a
YOUTH he cannot have forgotten the leading facts of
the case and the lessons he learned from his patron
should have taught him to dstrust the motive of those
who, in such an emergency that at New Orleans,
obtained applause from those alone who were mimi
cal to their country.
1t is source of the deepest regret to me, that MIR.
Conrad has disturbed the sleeping ashes Of the Judge
for the purpose of throwing unjust imputation on
my character. The fault must be his, it, in doing so,
ruth and justice will compel the public to dscredit
his statements

ness Oh sAluue, was connrmeu ny me aP-
prevail OF u Use whom he had endeavored faith
fully to serve. We have never believed that
Republics are ungrateful, but we fad there are
pHitcians, who would make them legal corpo-
ra,ions without soul, feeling, or gratitude.
We have enc reason, however, to rejoice that
this debate has taken place. 1t has superln-
duced full investigation Of some important
parts Of the conduct Of General Jackson at the
siege of New Orleans, and it has elected this
letter, explanatory Of all the circumstances in
connection with the conduct Of Judge Hall and
the imposition of the fine.
More than quarter of a century has elapsed
since the siege Of New Orleans. During that
lapse of time the incidents accompanying it
have grown dim 10 the public mind. Only a
vague knowledge of them remains impressed in
many instances no doubt rather by the debate
in the House of Representatives in 1919, than
by the newspaper or historical accounts pub
lished prior to that period. We know that, to
this day, the circumstances connected with the
declaration of martial law and the commitment
of Judge Hall, are wholly Inexperienced by
many, even if they were ever rightly under
stood The expostions to which the debate in
the Senate have given origin and the letter,
which we need not recommend to the perusal
of our readers, will furnish correct knowledge
on an important event in our national history.
