these gentlemen, In not noticing an act Of 81 ch
paramount importance, Immediately undertook
TO repair II and, in letter Of much ability, ex-
tensively circulated abroad, he denounced the
ridiculous pretensions of England and-not to
say il invdiously-with superiorpowers OF intel
ect TO either of the above me ntioned gentle
men, he reasoned the whole question with con-
summate tact and argument. The letter, re-
markabe as piece of composition for It's great
condensation Of thought, and for It's close logic
was equally appreciated as indicative OF extern
sive acquaintance with the law oil nations, ana
the proper application Of the principles Of that
law.
In this publication Mr. Gushing rendered pow
erful assistance to the policy of the Admlnistra-
ton, and 10 the happy issue Of the negotiations
then in progress with Great Brain's Special
Minister-the result of which, in the consum-
nation of the Treaty of Washington, rebounds
much to the credit of all parties interested.
Again, in his speech on the Remedial
Justice BILL he enforced, with all the power OF
eloquence, the principles of his letter and TO
the satisfaction of Congress, and we feel assured
(when they see his published speech,)
TO the entire satisfaction of the whole
country, he conclusivey indicated the
foreign policy of the Administration
most particularly as it regarded our late negoii-
alton with Great Britain. We will not bespeak
for this eloquent defence of the Administration
that praise which is sure TO follow It's careful
perusal and attentive examination.
For the conservative principle Of the Consti-
tuition, its self-rectfying principle, the all i'm
por,ant, unnecessary Veto power, this distln-
guished gentleman obtained in the Hall Of Con-
gress glorious vlctory-and if his reasoning be
no. correct, his arguments unsound then Jefier-
son was an empirc in the ethics Of Government
then Madison, in his essays, aud all the distin-
guished statesmen who bore prominent parts in
the formation of the Constitution, and many OF
whom since have filed high offices among the
People, were inconclusive in their reasonings
and had defective judgments. He has authority
and precedent with him-great names and dis
tinguished talents; and with these, and his own
unrivalled powers of intellect, he will, we ven
ture to say, be ever ready, on fair field OF dis
cussion, to meet any and all competitors.
The consideration of the subject we will con
tinue in another paper

The following extract from an Ohio paper throws
some further light upon this subject
"THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRurH-At
Democratic meeting recently held at columbus.
Ohio, General Murphy, who in the hard cider cam.
pagn one of the famous 'coonskin orators use.
the following language in relation to the Harrsbuz
convention, &C."
VIM. Murphy, of Chicothe, took the stand as
per arrangement, and spoke for several hours was
decidedly his happiest effort. He said he was dele
gate to the Harrisburg Convention which Nominated
General Harrison, and that the convention was com
posed of these parties First, the Clay men, who
went strongly for a United States Bank; secondly
the Scott men, and thirdly, the friends of General
Harrison, and half of the latter were decidedly OPP
posed to institution of the kind. The convection
agreed not TO name the bank. The Democratic par
ty charged the delegates with skulking the question
number, why we did not publish address, imbody-
ing principles. To tell the truth, gentlemen We
were afraid to do so. (Roars of laughter and APP
plause)
One fellow In the convention, who had not quite 50
long head as the rest of US, did propose resolution
OF this kind, but Oh, no. says old Watkins Leigh mho
,ras Bank man, that will never do ice cannot 20 be-
fore the people on that question: uW be deteaed
So, gentlemen, we concluded not to make an address
for fear we should be swamped We argued in this
manner: we must either make an address, or We
must not. If we publish address, we must go for
a Bank, or we must go against il and if we take
ground for Bank would be beaten and if We
went against II, the Democrats would ind we were
insincere, and the Bank-men might be made luke.
warm therefore, thought it best to make no dis
closures for the public eye, and to remain silent as
to our principles. loud, long and repeated ap-

FYom The Watvtoscn az. " Jeftrs0nio,

The removals OF Democratic Postmasters from Of
ice IN this country, since l640 is very Justly attrb
ted to the influence Of the Honorable Thoma, Z
Chittenden while Mr.. Granger held the office Of Post,
master General Those removals were made solel
on the ground of political principles and their place,
filed with ultra Clay-whgs And il was not for ark
OF eXerton on the part Of Mr.. Chittenden that clean
sweep was not made Of all who entertained Demo
cratic opinions and honestly confessed their dislike ia
Federalism, Circumstances which he could not c,,,
trol prevented the full measure of prescription which
our honorable Representative intended TO mete out a.
the Democratic portion of his constituents but As AL
ready remarked, all that he could do, was done ~
reward his personal and political friends with the
spoils Of office.
With the alleged double dealing of the honor,b.
gentleman with the oIice-seekers aud expeetans cr
his own party, we have nothing TO do our purpose
to show that Democrats were removed from Office ON
account OF their Democracy and Cay-whigs appoint
ed solely on account Of their Clay-whigism To
prove this is only necessary to refer to the papet
on file in the Post Office Department and to the poll
teal course Of MIR. Chtenden and his friends the Of
ice-hoders, at the present time.
MIR. ChittenIen, since his return from Washingon
has devoted much Of his time to the advancement OF
the pretensions of Mr.. Clay to the Presidency. We
find him addressing Clay meetings, denouncing he
President in the most pointed and abusive manner
and we have IT from good authority that he occasion
ally writes for the Federal papers in furtherance Of
the same object and with his usual bitterness Of spirit
ana language
In the Sacket's Harbor Journal, Of Aug 25 we find
an article over the signature of "Fooi.n We have
1t from good authority that the article from 'tule
Wing paper" and the comments upon the course Of
the Postmaster in this village furnished the
Journal by Mr. Chtenden in his own handwriting
we are well aware that nothing is too % little" for
him that ministers TO his malice or revenge Hi,
''accidency" will not again be elected to Congre,,
and the dsy is not far dstant when he will relinqush
privileges which he has so unscrupulously devoted 10
selfish and party objects. We only desire that he be
Judged by The same rule which governed his own
course and that as his 'accdency" procured the ap.
pontment of several posmasters opposed to the Gen
era Administration, the President justice to him
self and the public interests, will promptly correct
the mistakes and errors of Mr. Chitienden.
OF the Wing papers in this county, not one makes
any pretensions Of friendship for the President one
but denounces him as second traitor Arnold, but
all unite in approving the public course of our Rep
resentative. These papers are supported and en-
couraged by the C.ay-Whig postmasters, and the Of
fetal patronage Of the Government is thus brought
to bear directly in furtheracce Of MIR. Clays pre-
