S'ljr CHARXiOTTX: i TUKSDAY, FERRUAKY 20, 1827. The Chillicothe (Ohio) Supporter, of the 25ih ult. holds tliis language : “ We can assure our friends aI>ro.\d that, altl'ough General Jackson is highly esteem('d, among us as a military man, yet he stands no better chance of Ijeing rcconiiiiended by our present Legislature, or of receiving the votes of ou. fellow- citizens for the next Presidency, than a host i)f other brave and gallant men. equally meritorious, whose names have never been thought of in connexion with that office. ” "VVhen the town of IVanklin, in Massa chusetts, was incorporated, the name a|)- propriated to it was selected in honor of l)r. Franklin. The doctor was inlbrmed that the inhabitants were willing to build a leej)le to their meeting-liouse, provid ed he would give them a bell. He ad vised them to spare the exjjensc of a ''teeple at jjresent, and to accept a dona tion of books instead of a bet!, sense be ing preferable to sound. He then wrote to Doctor Price, requesting liiin to make out a list of books to the value of a!>out twenty-five- pounds, such as were most pioper to inculcate principles of sountl ’:’ligion ;ind just government. ' Congress.—Mr. Saunders has introdu ced a resolution into the House of Rep resentatives, calling on the Secretary of State for his reasons in making certain changes in the “ By.Authority” papers. The Secretary, we doubt not, can give very good and satisfactory reasons, if he chooses; but the House has no right to demand them. Mr. Clay can, with as much propriety, call on Gen. Saunders lor his reasons in bringing forward such a resolution; but to this the Genera! would object, and very properly. The ostensi ble object of the i’csolution, is to guard the independence of the Press; the real one, to fan the flame of oj)position hncl promote the views of the coalition, or triple alliance. It is another bait thrown out to catch gulls; and some, doubtless, will greedily swallow it. 1 his resolution has already given rise to considerable debate; and it will prob ably be continued until a quantum suflu it of abuse shall have been discharged on the devoted head of the Secretary of State. From the speech of Mr. Letcher, in reply to Mr. Saunrfers, we make the subjoined extracts, which will occupy as much room as we have to spare at this time :— The gentleman from North-Carolliia says j that tlio secrtsif w itii which these ciianf^c s of the piibiisiicrs of the laws are made makes the pfiW( r more dangerous lo t'le liberties of tlic country tha cither the alien or tlie sedition law. Wliy, sir, tliere is no secn sy in it; it is done in the most public manner; the man who loses the job n ill be sure to tell of it; and he who ffainsit, if lie does not boast of it, makes it suflieiently known by (lisj)laying' the words “ l?y Aiitliority,” o\ erhis ollieial publications. The matter is discussetl, andtlie Secretary who removes the printer, gets his good sliare of abuse for doing-it. L'pon a fail' ca1o(dation, I do not think the/e is any great policy in these changes at any time. If tlie printing be takcMi from one friend and given to another fri^*nd, there is danger th.'tt you lose a friend. If you take it from a frieml and give it to un enemy, yon arc subjected, besides losing your friend, to the cliargc of buyinf? up your enemy. 'I'hcre is one interrogatory wliich I woidd put to the gentleman front North-Caj’olina on this subject viz: What is the political character of the prin ters of the laws in his State ? Are iM)t some of them directly hostile t j the Administration ? If so, the Secretary of State has had the temerity to give the publication of the laws to an editor in the Opposition; and he will he charged by the gentleman fi'oni North Carolina, I suppose, witli a design to buy him over. 'This power of selection, as gentlemen construe it, is a two-edged v. eapon. If selec tion be made of a friend, it is to bind him clo ser; if it be given to an enemy, it is still done upon calculation. Whether friend or enemy, the selection is still a matter of c; Iculation. As far as I Tindcrstand the policy whirti was pur sued by that republican statesman, Mr. Jeflcr- son, 1 think he took the true coursc. Wh n he could finl a friend to himself and his country, well qualified to discharge the duties of any of fice or api)ointment, he gave it to him. I his he did as a matter of policy, and witli a know- ledjfe of human nature. I'laced in a similar situation, I '.vould myself give an office to a frienl to myself and my country, if (qually cjuaiitied with others, in preference to my ene my. Possibly I am wronjc. Suppose two men present themselves before you for any trust within your gift, equally qualified, but the one being jcmr personal and political friend, and the other having done you nuich injury. If \ou were to bestow the office upon your ene my, I niif>ht praise you for jour magnanimity, but 1 confess it would be exceedingly diflicult for me to imitate it. I believe .lefl'erson understood these things just about as well as any man in the world. If he evi r gave an office to an enemy of his I ne ver hi ard of it. About the time that he came into power there was more confusion among the printers than there has been at any other time before or'since. What is in truth tlu real coui])Iaint in this case P That the em niie- of the administration liavo not l)een scleetid to publish the laws in exclusion of its friends, that, in the language of f;entk men them>,el^ es, the Secretary of .state has t een governed by piTsonal and political ‘niotivi s in miiking tlie selection of j)rinti rs of'he laws. Tliis, Air. I., said, he had alriady ^liowii to be tiie principle of Mr. .lefl'erson; it \\as a principle wliich had its foundations in reason and biiinan nature. ” tiie benefit of the Insolvent Law in PctiH- sylvania. In his schedule, filed in the Insolvent’s court, he has returned the Hon. J. H. Eaton, U. S. Senator from Tennessee, a creditbr for twelve hundred dollars^ money advanced Uy Senator Ea ton, over and above all the money he is charged with for subscription for the many copies of the Observer which he ordered and paid for. Here is an instance of subsidizing the Press, which may well startle the people; and it is done, too, by those w ho are loud and unceasing in their charges of corruption against the Admin istration. It is clone, too, by those who lay claim to great purity of intention as well as of conduct; while at the same tit’ie they are corrupting the fountains of intelligence, and subsidizing the press to mislead the people by groundless charges and wilful misrepresentations. It is *vorthy of remark, that when the su!>si- dies ceased, the Columbian Observer be came defunct. Could the secret affairs of the United States Telegraph be bi-ought to light, we have no doubt a parallel to the above would be exhibited. How many other p'tpers are thus subsidized to denounce the government, it is impossible to con jecture; time, no doubt, w ill ujwnask ma ny of them. If the administration be so unpopular witli the people, where is the necessitv of subsidizing the press to oppose ii? On the contrary, does not the resort to such means furtiish conclusive testimony of its strf'ngth Certain we are, no {^ood cause needs, and its friends would noi use them; and a bad cause cannot, in the end, be benefitted by them. liafa^eUe .lYtUUvy, ArTEN TION! ^rou are ordered to parade in front of the -1- Court-House, on 'I’hursdav morning, the 2Jd inst. precisely at 9 o’clock, in full winter uniform, and furnished with nine rounds of Idank cartridge, for the purpose of celebrating the birth day of Wasbinfftoii.—A punctual at tendance is particuiitrly required, r.y order dl'the first l.ieutenant. 1*.
