Wc present to our readers the Jackson Electoral Tick et for this State and, in consequence of their being no other press located in this vicinity, we have concluded to pub lish the Adams Electoral Ticket also, that our readers may become acquainted with the names of the individuals com posing both Tickets.

Although this county joins Clark on the north, where my personal acquain tance is pretty extensive, I know nothing of this William Rogers, nor any one who does know him, qor did l ever hear of his famous Certificate, until I was informed that the original, or a copy of it, was in the possession of Charles Hammond, Esq. the modest au thor of "Truth's Advocate." This George Brown is a white headed old man, tall and large, gentecly dressed, very boisterous and presuming in his manners, rides an elegant gelding and spends money like a prodigal. He is now continually travelling about in this style but at ichose expense, perhaps Mr. Clay can tell as well as any other man. Copy of a letter to the editor of the Carlisle (Pa.) Herald. Cincinnati, jQug. 3, 1828. Mr. G. Fleming, I have just received your letter enquiring whether the following language was ever used by me: "Gen. Jackson's mother was a common prostitute, brought to this country by the British sol diers. She afterwards married a mulatto man with whom she had several children, of which num ber Gen. Jackson is one." I answer you promptly, that I have used no such language, made 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th ,9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15 th Abner Franklin, of Iredell. ri t t xi a. r t : i Edmund Deberry, of Montgomery. nOSUCIl Charge, With respect either James T.

I presume I can explain to you the foundation upon which the calumny of the Pennsylvania Re porter is predicated. There re sides in Clark county, in this state, an old man who says he is a native of North-Carolina. For some time past he has been rela ting a story something like the Electionccring.-lixs somewhat re- one above stated. Another a"Cd markable, that notwithstanding the i: n A "abyss of degradation," into which the md V,dual ery "mical to Gen. public press of this country has fallen, Jackson, procured from this man there are yet productions emanating a written statement detailing from the pens of some of the most dis- names, dates and other circum- tmguished men of the nation, which it stances, of a very particular na would not be decorous to the public" tur ; confirmation of the tale, to insert in a newspaper; but which riii V , A . . we are led to believe can with nronriPtv 1 1,e latter S.ecrnC(1 to make it a propriety i DUS siness to travel through the community- Such for example, is the letter of Mr. Clay to Mr. Blair, and of Mr. Adams to Mr. Heartwell. We have yet to notice another production, hawked about the country for political effect, which even the "kennel presses" of Mr. Adams dared not venture to pre sent to the public; and which even that "Republican of every faith," Charles Hammond, Esq. who first put forth the calumnies against Mrs. Jackson, is ashamed to vouch for, although he di rectly acknowledges that he "showed the certificate to several individuals." Our readers will understand the drift of this "certificate," and the use made of it, from the two following articles: From the Xenia (Ohio) People's Press. A certain man. by the name of George Brown, who professes to have been a captain, major or co lonel, and who has a wife and children living in Kentucky, has been roaming about this state for eighteen or twenty months past; and within the last two or three months he has been travelling to and fro, with the malignity of a devil incarnate, exhibiting to the leading Administration men, wherever he went, and privately giving copies, of a certain CER TIFICATE of Gen. Jackson's parentage; which he says he ob tained from one William Rogers) country and talk about it. He came to Cincinnati early in July and handed me one of those Cer tificates. As the story had been before spoken of, 1 showed the Certificate to several individuals, not as containing a fact to be cre dited, but A SINGULAR FAB RICATION. A letter was writ ten to the editor of the People's Press, another to the editor of the Louisville Advertiser, both vio lent Jackson papers, making a clamorous statement that such a certificate was in my possession. These editors both announced the fact with violent denunciations; taking care to say nothing further than that such a document was in my hands I at once, concluded the object was to induce some publication on my part which might be laid hold of, to abuse me, and injure the cause. I de termined therefore to let the sto ry run, while it assumed no other shape than that first given to it. The Reporter publication imputes to me, what his own authority does not warrant, and is therefore no better than a direct falsehood. I will thank you to publish this letter. Sincerely yours, C. HAMMOND. Rc-action.VlQ find in the Na-i Sanders and Mr. Overton a ma- tional Republican of Cincinnati, the following manly letter from Col. Win. B. Cassiday: Mr. Anderson, Having seen a statement in the Ohio Republican, that the friends of Jackson had appointed an Administration man marshal of the day, at the late an niversary celebration, I take the liberty of informing the editor who penned the paragraph, and all others whom it may concern, that 1 am no Adams man. It is true that at one time I did intend to vote for Mr. Adams; but when I witness the daily slanders and abuse heaped upon the head of a venerable man, whose name will be forever dear to all true Ame ricans, and of whom Mr. Adams himself, whci) not in his way to office, has spoken in the highest terms, I can no longer go with a party whose endeavors seem to be to raise their favorite candidate to oflice, not so much upon his merit, as upon the ruins of the re putation of his illustrious oppo nent. 1 shall if living next Octo ber give my vote to General An drew Jackson.

Mr. Gurley subsequently declared that "he owed his eleva tion to Jackson votes;" which is confirmed by the fact, that twelve out of the fourteen members of the Legislature from his district are in favor of the General. We sfjll consider the Presidential vote of Louisiana doubtful, but we think the chances are against the Administration. Kentucky. An Address to the people of Kentucky, signed by 31 Sheriffs friendly to the election of Gen. Jackson, accompanies the oflieial return of the recent elec tion in that State.
