In his reply to the invitation of the citizens of Madison county, Ky. to partake of a public dinner, last summer, , Mr. Clay observed: "All who are opposed to the American System all who are opposed to Internal; Improvements, are now united with others in the endeavor to defeat the re-election of the ; present Chief Magistrate." On reading this declaration, we were! forcibly struck with the idea that the -Administration had abandoned all hopej of support from the Southern States; and : this opinion was recently confirmed, by the dismissal of Mr. James Barbour from! the Cabinet, the only Southern member in it, thus leavin- the South without a representative in the Cabinet Councils of the nation, a circumstance unprecedent-l cd in our history. We are now pre sented with another branch of the "Ame rican System," recently promulgated by Mr. Clay, the mouth-piece of the Admi nistration, which we are pleased to see immediately met the severe rebuke it so richly merited. The following is from the Kentucky Gazette: "We have understood that Mr. Clay, during his late visit, in a conversation with several gentle men relative to the Southern States, remarked, that he hoped our citizens would refrain from driving hogs, &c. to the South "let us (said he) starve the rebels." When it is recollected that in our trade with the South wo .innimlW draw several millions of dollars, what should be thoup-ht of that in. dividual who would recommend a suspension of all lnterennrsn wltl the people of those States, for the numane purpose ot starving them? Yes, Mr. Clay would call upon us to give up a source of wealth, in order that his political enemies might be exterminated. The man who could utter such a senti ment as the one attributed to Mr. Clay, deserves to be eternally ex ecrated. It is, however, altogeth er in keeping with his 'war, pes tilence and famine' prayer." The last Bargain. In the preceding article our readers are presented with a specimen of the spirit which animated xMr. Clay just before the recent Ken tucky election it will be seen by the following extracts from a speech subse quently delivered by him at Cincinnati, that he anticipates his fate, and is for ''backing out" as quick as possible. In a few months the people will fix the mark of reprobation on those who are "bankrupts to honor, decency & truth," and "for their accommodation," will no doubt on the 4th March next, give them an opportunity to "cultivate a farm in Kentucky," or elsewhere, un disturbed. But hear Mr. Clay: "Cultivating a farm in Ken- tucky, and having other objects of private concern, 1 have found it necessary, both on that account and the relaxation from official business indispensable to the pre servation of health, annually to vi sit this quarter of the Union, dur ing the period of my connexion with the Executive of the United States. In these visits 1 have frequently met large portions of my ieiiow-citizens, upon their friendly and pressing invitations. My object has been called in ques tion, and my motives assailed. It has been said that my purpose was electioneering. If it be in tended to charge me with employ ing improper or dishonorable acts to secure an election, I deny the charge and disclaim the purpose. I defy my most malignant ene mies to show, that I ever, durin any period of my life, resorted to such acts to promote my own elec tion, or that of any other person. 1 have availed myself of these as semblies, and of other opportuni ties, to defend myself against any accusation, publicly made, and a thousand times repeated. I had a right to do this by the immuta ble laws of self-defence. My ad dresses to the public heretofore have been generally strictly de fensive. If they have ever given pain to any of my adversaries, they must reproach themselves mtn its intliction. There is one way, and but one way, in which they can silence me. Mv t radii - cers have attributed to me irreat facility in making a bargain. Whether I possess it or not. Them is one bargain which, for their ac commodation, I am willing to en ter into with them. If they will prevail upon their Chief to ac knowledge that he has been in error and has done me injustice, and if they will cease to traduce anu abuse me, I will no longer present myself before popular as semblies or in the public prints, in my own defence. That is one bargain which 1 have no expecta tion of being able to conclude. I; or men who arc in a long estab lished line of business, will not voluntarily quit their accustomed trade, and acknowledge them selves bankrupts to honor, de cency and truth." Pennsylvania.- occasion ally see it stated in the Adminis tration papers, that the attach ment of Pennsylvania to General Jackson is much weakened, and that the vote of the state is some-j is none such they play a nobler what doubtful the following par ticulars, however, will exhibit the slight foundation on which those assertions rest. Out of twenty six members of the House of Re presentatives which Pennsylvania sends to Washington, there are only six which can be called Ad ams men Sergeant, Anderson, Miner, Wilson, Lawrence and Stewart. At the next Congres sional election not one of these six has a prospect of being re elected, except Sargeant. Stew art, Wilson, and Miner have al ready abandoned the field The following is extracted from a let ter of Mr. Stewart: "ilr. Patton I was not a little surprised to see my name announ ced in your last paper as a candi date for Congress. I avail my self of the earliest- opportunity of informing you that this has been done without my knowledge or approbation, and to say that I can by no means consent to become a candidate, to gratify the wish vou express, to make it the test of 'the strength ot the Jackson and Adams parties in this district.1 1 ins would be to try a Question about which 1 presume there can be no doubt; when at the last elec tion Gen. Jackson had more than forty votes to Mr. Adams' one, it can Iiardly be pretended by any one that the former would not still have a majority in this district. "I will only add that should 1 ever again be a candidate for pub lic lavor, 1 trust I will be ludired by my own merits or demerits, and not by those of other men." game they have the power make Gen. Jackson President, if they choose to exercise it: but one of the great principles involved in this contest is, to redeem the cha. racter of our elections, and that power will be used honorably. The friends of Gen. Jackson in Tennessee and New-York disdain to imitate the management of Mr. Clay's friends in Kentucky, or of the partizans of Mr. Adams in Massachusetts: if their candidate can obtain any votes, either in New-York or Tennessee, he is welcome to them. It would be ungenerous in a triumphant party to take from the administration any portion of that poor minority which the people will award them in November. From the New-York Evening Post. The Conspiracy. Under this alarminnr title the Administration journals are giving circulation to a downright falsehood. It is sta ted by them that the friends of uen. Jackson in this state intend to take the election from the peo ple; that the present Legislature will give the whole 36 votes to him, and that Mr. Van Buren has written that the General should have the whole, if it were neces sary to secure his election. It will be seen by an extract from the Albany Argus, how promptly this last fabrication of the admin istration party has been put down. we have no occasion gentle men, indeed it would be unchari table, to rob you of the half dozen votes you may obtain in this state: 1G0 or 180 out of 261 electoral votes arc quite sufficient to make our candidate President of the U. States. Give yourselves no fears, we shall not imitate the examnlp you have set us in Massachusetts and Kentucky. You cannot have lorgoUen that Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay were afraid to trust even their own states to vote by districts; and that tlip,ir friends have since the last election alter ed the electoral law in those states, to serve as it was designed by the "managers," the purposes of the administration. We thank them for the arrancrement in TCnn. tucky. We defy the editors of the Statesman to point out thp in. stance in which the friends of vie n. Jackson have evinced a re luctance to submit this question, "J any shape or form, to the peo ple of the United States. There Mississippi. The returns from all the counties in this State, ex cept Jackson, Jones, and Wash ington, which have not been recei ved, give the following results of the Congressional election: Hinds (Jackson) 4436 Dickson, do. 2496 Haile, do. 1407 8339 Bingaman, (Adams) 1920 Jackson majority, 6419 Stick to your Candidate! A Jackson and an Adams man met the other day "Hurra for Jack son," said the first. "Hurra for the Devil," said the spunky coali tionist. "Very well," retorted the Jacksonian, "you stick to your candidate, and I'll stick to mine." FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1828. The fall term of the SuDerior Court for this county was held in this place last week, Judge Norwood presiding. On Thursday, David Hattaway and Wil liam Brown were tried for the murder of John Abrams; Ilattawav as nrincinal in the first degree, and Brown as principal in the second degree. The Jury retur ned a verdict of manslaughter against both of them. In conseauence of the good character heretofore sustained by tnc prisoners, the Judge decreed that they should only my a fine of SlO each and costs of prosecution, he imprisoned 60 days and thereafter until the fine and costs were paid. Hattaway, Brown and Abrams were in this place on the dav the result of our last elections was de clared; they got into a drunken frolic, Hattaway and Abrams fought, Brown prevented others from interfering and separating the parties, .and Abrams was beaten in such a manner as to occasion his death in a few days. Our attention has been called to a cir cumstance said to be unprecedented in this county. Of the 48 Jurors of the original pannel summoned to attend the late term of the Superior Court for this county, 46 attended, 1 died abroad, and 1 had left the State. This is noticed as an evidence of the unusual health at this season of the year, enjoyed at present generally throughout the county. Crops, Two bales of new Cot ton, from the farm of Mr. Stephen Rob ins, of this county, was brought to this J place on Thursday, llth inst. and pur-
