JACKSON CONTRASTED WITH
CLAY!

The manly call Of General Jackson
has drawn forth from General Hamil-
ton the following prompt and decided
reply. 1t puts the extinguisher upon
the whole report. Upon one point we
differ essentially from General Hamil-
ton. We believe in the justice of the
charge, and will attempt to show ere
long, by the revelation Of the evid ence,
that he is entirely mistaken in the char
acter of the accusation:
From The Charleston .Merc,ay.
A CARD.
To GEN. ANDREW JACKSON,
Sir: | have Just this instant seen
your Card, dated the Sd of May, from
the Hermitage.
The call you make upon myself does
not permit me to be silent. You are
entirely correct in your statement You
never wrote letter to me, or even ver-
bally in my hearing, made any state
ment in either the one or the other, Of
your conviction of the injustice of the
charge Of "Bargain and Corruption" "
preferred against Messrs. Adams and
Clay. Nor have | ever stated TO any
human being that you had over even
entertained any such opinion.
presume that the mistake has grown
out of the fact, that at time wheu l
went "thorough stitch" for you and
your preferment, said, without reserve
to our friends, that I did not think we
could make much political capital out
Of the charge of Bargain and Corup-
tion," because | did not believe in its
justice, and that we had hundred bet
er COWS to milk in our pen than this
accusation; hence, we had as well done
with it. But this was nay opinion pro-
nounced on no authority of yours.
can scarcely however quarrel with
the occasion which breaks the silence,
which has so long closed our inter
course. After a painful separation of
more than ten years, thank God, be-
fore we die, that we are both again on
the same side of a great American
question, which is to give an Empire to
our Confederacy, and Gibraltar to
the. South.
Accept the assurance of the venera-
ton and respect, with which
] am, your
Fellow citizen,
J. HAMILTON.

And again we ask, does Mr.. Clay
mean to defy the production of his let
ter to Mr. Blair? No. He dare not
call for it, as the old Hero has done, in
his own case. ]-Richmond Equirer.

OuirG gf0us cOnduct.-We are informed, and
in a way TO convince us Of the truth Of the
statement, that one Of the Lncofoco leaders of
Duplin county, was at the polls in kenans-
vile on election day, and in the most violent
manner denounced every man who should at
tempt to vote the Wing ticket as a 'scoun-
dFel, at the same time swearing that no such
ticket should 90 into the ballot-boX, or be
counted out. if put in. 1t will be observed
that the Wing vote Of DupIin fell off from
August, and it is probable that the clrcum-
stance here detailed will account for it.
We clip the above from the Chronicle
Of last Wednesday. We know no, from
whom the Chronicle derived It's Informal

that there is not an influential Democrat in
North Carolina, who would degrade his
parry, or his own personal character so
much as TO make use of such language as
stated by the Editor OF the Chronicle
Perhaps Mr.. Chronicle the decrease Of

for so saying, avowed they would not vote
such ticket.
(Qr.) Did not the Wings have two diff
ferent tickets! or ticketsheaded differently!
We think they did; and doubtless, in this
way, succeeded in increasing their vote in
New Hanover county to some extent.

TIE ELECTIONS.

The returns still continue TO come in IA
vorabsy for the success of our party. Polk
and Dallas, Texas and Oregon, have
doubtless already been elected. and all we
are waiting for is the authority from The
official returns to announce it. We have
heard sufficiently from New York TO rem
der that State very certain. The gains in
North Carolina are so considerable, that
there is very fair probability that we
shall carry that State also. Thus it is.
that the spirit of truth and justice, the De-
mocra'ic spirit of the people, has gone
sweeping over the land, prostraling ahd

Death af Cor. Runneh.-The Brandon Mis-
sissippi) Advocate says that Gen. II. G. Run
nels, formerly Governor of this State. who
emigrated to Texas about two years since, had
met violent death. Report says he was as
sassinated by band of lawless rascals who
waylayed and shot him. 1t is sao that Run
neIs, and some other respectable gentlemen,
were sent by the civil authority TO arrest par
eel of men who were committing acts Of vio-
lence under the uthorty of Lynch" or, as
they styled themselves, "ReguIators.
They, or part of them, were secured and
lodged in Jail. ard, as Runnels and his associ-
ates of law and order, were returning home,
they were fred on, and several others besides
himself killed. 1t was hoped that this report
would prove unfounded.

The Verdict Of the Farmers Oh the Tariff
as it is,

One Of the great issues on which the
wings placed the contest between the two
parties, was the maintenance of the pres
ent partial and prohibitory tariff. The
Boston Courier of Wednesday, which lies
before us, says:
sour hopes rest on New York We are unwil.
ling yet to believe that the intelligent people of
that great State have become so gospeled in the
doctrines of free trade, as to give their votes for
Mr.. Polk
The Boston journal Is mistaken. The
people Of New York are, as it will have
seen before this, so well learned in the
doctrines Of free trade as to give Mr.. Polk
very fair majority.
Looking over the majorities in the sew
eral counties, it is apparent enough that
the farmers are not pleased with the whig
tariff Of 1912. In the purely agricultural
counties the democratic ticket has won its
greatest majoriiies, or shaken most e6'ec-
tuaIIy the whig strength. Take, as ex-
arnpIes the prodigous majority in ST. Law
renee county, the almost unlocked for
change in jefferson county, the immense
falling offin the wing vote throughout the
whole of the grain-growing and grazing
counties.
On the Other hand, in those counties
where the lords of the loom have lavishel
their money, and issued their mandates IL
their work-men-in Duchess, Ulster
Rensselaer,, Saratoga and Oneida-th'
wings have obtained the few successes o
which they have to boast.
| The manufacturers, with their none,
and their influence as employers, are OF
one side: the farmers, instructed by expe
rience and their own shrewd reflection, ar
on the other. We think we may fairl
draw the inference that the tariff is as IN
popular among the latter class as it is f.
tyorlte with the formerly. 7, E. Post.

Excitement- Democratic Pro-
cession and Speech of Mr. Dallas.
The excitement in our city last evening,
consequent upon the returns from New
York and North Carolina, was intense.
Chestnut street was crowded, and on every
side could be heard the exulling cheers Of
the successful party, and the songs Civic
tory which made the air resound. AT
an early hour the Democratic reading
room, at the corner Of Eighth and Ches-

were filed by a dense mass of human be-

shouts, cheers, songs and Growing. After
some speeches from severalzPersons. lam

Dallas dweIt upon the subject Of the late
victory, the means by which it was achiev

the Union who had labored in the work.
He spoke particularly of the confine

people, and he prophesied that the TIM

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

The full returns from our State have not
yet come to hand. Their complexion
however, since our last number, has ma
teriaIIy changed. Then we had good rea~
son to hope that the Democracy OF the
good old North State would emerge in tri-
umph from the struggle. Now we must
confess that things so far as North CARROLL
ia is concerned, do not wear so bright an
aspect. From the returns already receiv-
ed. we are now of the opinion that the
State has gone for Clay by slightly in
creased majority-say by $500. In our
next we hope to be able to give all the re-
turns. The returns given are not all off.
