. ! . 'StriTDAV.
Mr Dear.Sir I liave just received yours,
and am sorry to have it confirmed that you have
been so sick; but I trust that your relief from the
labours of the Chair, more tranqdillity, and the
nursing of .your excellent wfe, will soon restore
you.! As for myself my accident, has been more
serious than my friends at a distance havs ex
pected. It was but three or four days since I could
turn myself on my bed, or sit up; aod now I
am lolling in an easy chair with sore limbs and
a weak head, and I am. utterly unable to attend
to any business. I have not j written a line for
a newspaper,' except by hasty card, nor a letter to
a friend'save a line to Harrison to assure my
daughter bfmy convalescence. You must, there
fore, excuse me for writing yon at this time so
brief, and I fear so illegible a scroll.
I well recollect. the circumstance to which you
refer. When yxra showed ine the note of Mr.
Livingston we had a great ;deal of conversation
oft the subject; Neither off us regarded the no
tice, in the light )f an appointment. la fact, it
presented itself as a merA'ContiBwerrcy, and we
considered it as extremelyjdoublml whether or
when yoa woold lie appoiafed, or, if at allj for
if the British deel ued a negotiation, it seemed to
be the President's intention to make' nd nomina
tion at all, nor ev m during' the ensuing session
of Congress. Bu . this idea struckjne, that he
miVfct-appotnt yoi, in casefthe contingency hap
pened during the iecess and not send you, but
JUr.-' Livingston France', I suggested that
the appointments' ought hot and could not be
jnade according to the spifit of the Constitution,
during the recess jof the Senate. You:prompt-
fy and cordially concurred in this view of the
subject, and 1 then detenpined to write to a
fnend tn Washington, lorthe purpose ot laying
mis view oeroje ine rresiaeni nimseu. kou
approved of my doing so; nd, in fact, we agreed
pertectly in the course that ougnt to be taken.
We determined iatake fio notice of Mr. L
letter, to act yourself as irio such letter had been
written that it Would be; best not to offer to ac
cept the appointment if made in the summer, and
to wait the action -of the Senate, Sur.jf'C.
The answer ! received; from Washington qui
eted my fears almost entirely.
I certainly did 'think that the Senate, ought
to hsve been consulted, both about 4he mission
to London and Parts, untess some of tiiose very
extraordinary einergencfes might occur, which
baliled all -calculation, apd could nyt-have been
foreseen during the prior session of Congress.
I trust, my dear sir, that the anxiety of your
friends in Virginia wiff be removed in a few
days by your confirmatiop. Indeed, I can scarce
permit myself to entertaifi a doubt about the re-

Now, sir, doubts do exist whether (he vacancy

not be best to call the Senate together ail lay the

Here follows lhe General Order of the Presi
dent given above
, f Fronit he J. Y. Advertiser.
The following article is taken from the New
York Evening Post of June 1 8th.
The Daily -Advertiser of this morning, speak
ing ot Mr. laney, says . ; -j
'If rejected, it is altogether probable thai Gen
eral Jackson will avail himself of Mr. Taney's
law, and appoint hhn immediately after the ad
journment of Congress, as being a vacancy that
nasjappentd during the recess.
No one knows better than the Daily Adverti
ser that Mr. Taney never put such a construc
tion on the Constitution, in any document re
port, cr opinion, puphc or private. And the
Daily- Advertiser knows equally well that no in
stance of such an exercise of power on tlie Jpart
or ueneral Jacfeson can be adduced as justifg
mg its present expression that "if is altogether
probable &lc. General Jackson, never appointed
a person to qmce during the recess after the
nomination of that person had been rejected by
the senate: and Mr. l aney never expressed tht
the opinion tliat such an appointment would be
valid? "
What object the editors of the Post had in
in view or expected to accomplish, by publishing
this article we are at a loss to conjecture. Here
is a peremptory denial that Mr Taney ever put
uciicon5fnctto as that alluded to in- our re
mark ipon the constitution tliat no instance
can be adduced of General Jackson's having ev
er exercised sucfi a power as that suggested by
us that General Jackson never appointed a
person to office during the recess after the nom
ination had beeii rejected by the Senate.
On the eighth of December 1831, General
Jackson nominated Samutl Gwin to ! be Regis
ter of a land nfllce for the district of lands for
sale at Mount Sajus in the State of Mississippi.
Un the 221 of the same month, that nomination
was rejected by a vote of 25 to 13. On the 1 1th
of June, 1832 and during the same session Gen
eral Jackson renominated Gwin to the same of
ice giving his reasons for adopting the measure,
on the tenth of July it was determined, by a vote
of 27 to 17, that the nomination lie on' the table:
and on the lGth a resolution was Introduced into
the JijeYiate, that the President be Informed that
it was not the intention of the Senate to take any
proceeding oil the re-nomination ot Samuel
Gwin.
which was also laid on the table.
Nothing further was done j by the Senate on
the subject previously to .their adjournment
which took. place on the day last mentioned; Viz".
July! 19. ; .
On thf 24th of July, the Globe announced
(be appointment, ''by the President of. Samuel
(r'trm to oe Register oj the L,ana Uyice lor tne
dxtrict of lands subject to sale at Mount Salus
m the state 01 Mississippi. '
Thus much in reply to two assertions in the
Pest; :
Preyiously td venturing upon the appointment
of Gwin after be had beeivieected by the Sen
ate, and after their ad johrnmept on the 16th of Ju
ly l832,Gencral Jackson consulted Mr. Attorney

A TALE.
In the year-, never mind the year,but it was
within our- remembrance: we differ wjth Byron,
for 'we hate to be particular in dates; they tell
sad tales of us old bachelors, and are worse foes
to our youthful reputations than even gray hairs
for thei reflect cannot be hidden even under a pe
ruke: but to return to my story; in this unmen
tionable year lived Henry , a young man of
fortune, education and considerable personal
beauty. pshaw, men never have any beauty !
his manners were unexceptimably elegant, his
nature ardent and lovqable. At the time-we
speak of, he was about to be united to the 'girl
of his heart, aad indeed however highly"' we
might estthiate the good qualities ot Henry, Car
oline richly deserved him were be ten times what
he was. J
She w4s an orphan, and though her cousin
George stood high in her regard, yet Henry had
long- heidiuncontroJied poseession of her henrt.
oeorge was siroagly attached tohia pretty cous
in, and though flenrv did (as lovprs al wav wilh
fracy fit -arose from something vrajmer, yet troth
to say,u was out wnatfle deemed his Jatherly
d utyvtohii orphan coz. ;
Their weddiRgday asa inbilee in the place.
The whole country round assembled to see them
joined, and sauns and muslins to sn onnameablc
extent had bet-n for many weeks under the dress
makers hands, bridesmaids, and groomsmen in
the requisite number attended, for our bachelor
condition has left ns without a lady, the (oracles
on these matters,)to consult with as to the neces
sary quantity, bu whatever the number ought
to have-beeo, it was there, for all was strictly or
thodox., l '-
The party assembled at the altar, the minis
ter opened his book, and all was deathlike si
lence and expectation. Smiles were on every
face, but the lips were closed., -Wishes and
thoightswere struggling in t he minds of most,
but utterance was denied. George 6tood close
to his- cousin and looked into her pale face
with eyes that beamed With affection.
The minister proceeded "Wilt thod take,'
&c, and ion concluding; paused .for a reply :
Henry aroused, as from a temporary trance, ga
zed on the cousins with a wavering eye, and af
ter a motnet.tary struggle, answered deliberately
No''' 4 Language -cannot convey the scene
and emotions that followed ; the, fatntin? mrl
Avas borne- away by her friends, and Henry
haughtily retrod the aisle, aad 3 rove to hi3 home.
On the' following dav George and llenry
met : their pistob were given them and the
signal made, but only one frre answered it.
The air then received Henry's shot ; and the
L seconds of course refused to reload.
A year passed away, when at a Mil the lovers
met again. Neither joined in the gaiety around
them, and.wbile all "else were intent upon the
dance, Henry siofd by the side of the insulted
