Jefferson says about the antiquity and dis
tinction of his ancestors "let every one attach
the credence that he chooses
We now call up the case Of Pierce and the
Papists for further investigation We demand
trial and judgment Of conviction or nc
quittal. We do SO upon the charge generally
made, and now asserted by a Senator of the
United States We have no objection to so
amend the indictment, as to include the Scott
as well as the Pierce party. The charge of a
Willingness TO contract has been made in pub
lie against the friends Of both and, accustom-
ed as the gallant old veteran has been to demand
an investigation, we do not doubt he will at
once authorize it TO be made, and will not
protect one of his followers, who in an anx-
iety to finger the spoils, dared to make such
a proposition ON behalf Of his honored leader
When the charge Of bargain and corruption
was made against Henry Clay, he demanded
an investigation. Let us have the present
charge examined.
The American party has been assailed with
great vehemence, by both the old parties; let
| us see whether there is not necessity for
changing the administration into new hands,
We hope Gen. Houston, or some other resolute
American, will move committee of investiga-
ton upon this grave charge against the politi-
clans; and, if direct proof Of bargain and cor
ruption can be found, the subsequent steps
rendered necessary by the Constitution, though
painful, and derogatory to the national charac-
ter, must be taken. If sit must be that Of
fences must come" woe be unto those through
whom they do come

Death Of an Eminent Planter.

The Concordia La.) Intclligencer of Friday last,
says:
"0n Sunday night of the present week Mr..
James Sargent, wealthy planter of Concordia pa
IRISH, resident at Cherry Grove, FIVE miles from
Natchez, was taken with congestive chill, which
terminated his life on Monday evening. He was
buried in the family tomb In Adams county, Mis-
sissipp, on Tuesday afternoon.
:" He was one of the most eminent cotton plan
ters Of the South-a singular concentration Of firm
ness and energy, which would have made him con-
spicsous in any position in life.
Belonging to family that fed from the slave
instruction in St. Domingo, he was the youngest
living Of three brothers, and who are the owners
Of not only thousands Of slaves, but Of some Of
the most valuable Of the broad lands Of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Arkansas. In the family history
Of the Surgets, truth would indeed be stranger
than fiction, and volume might be written full Of
incident, replete with interest, and rich with the
triumphs of industry and perseverance,"

Hon. X. RAYNER-Dcdr SIR. The statement
made TO me by Mr.. Bsrringer was in a casual con-
vcrsation, with which did not charge my memo
ry, and am not able TO recall Il fully. II agreed
substantially with the statement he now makes. /
understand him as intending TO convey the idea
that II a suspicious circumstance in connexion
with the charge against the President or his party
Of bargain for the Catholic vote and remarked
that did not think il amounted to any proof Of
such thing. Upon which he replied promptly
that he did not mean TO make any such charge
but merely mentioned IT, and IL might pass for
what Il was worth. l think he also dscaimed
any belief in the charge that had been made.
Here Mr.. Singletary says that the statement
made to him by Mr.. b. "sgroed substantially"
with that he now makes, and Mr. s. under
stands Mr.. b. Gas intending to convey the idea
that it was a suspicious circumstance in con-
nexion with the charge against the President
or his party Of a bargain for the Catholic vote !"
On the other hand, Mr.. b. says distinctly that
the communication made to me by the Popc's
Nuncio affords no proof OF such charge or
understanding" But Mr. s., understanding
Mr.. b., at the date of his conversation, to have
cited "a suspicious circumstance in connection
with the charge against the President" re-
marked that he did not think II amounted to
proof Of any such charge; to which Mr.. b. re-
piled that he did not mean TO make such a
charge, and probably disclaimed any belief in
it. We either do not understand this, or Messrs.
5. and b. do not understand each other.
But, even taking this testimony Of MI.
Singletary as establishing the fact that Mr..
Barringer did not in his conversation with
him, either so understand or so state the Mad
rid conversation, as to cast any imputation
upon Mr.. Pierce, or his party, it is not
relevant 10 the issue before the country.
That issue is; Did Mr.. Barringer make to Mr..
