Jr, fTAr Some lime last summer,
part of Ibe bv. chapter of n. Samuel, wai
ave rt to you by mi on of tour corret
puodents, and wat published in th Wet
Urn Carolinian. With what tie It was
tent, or what wai the appllrttiofl Intend d
it that time 1 1 know not, unlet it was to
expose the practlcei of nVmaf(Q,(iiei in
general. At ihlt time nd under prrtent
;lrcum?anret, the moral and application
of the transactions narrated in that chap
ter, will be sufficiently evident. I there
fort bet; of you to rf publlth that part of
the chapter herewith tent you, and Or.
Scott's remarks thereon. The chapter
added is merely intended to shew the ap
plication of that part cf ancient history
to transactions of the present day. It has
Leen often said, that human nature Is al
ways the same. Designing and unprinci
pled men will make use of those meant
which appear beat calculated to gain the
objects of their inordinate wishes. It it
not, therefore, bv any means singular,
that there should exist a striking similar
ity between the character and enterprises
of Absaloni, the son of David, and some
cootiJn!l character In our own country.
n. SAMt'F.I, C1IAP. XV.

2. Ami Absalom rose up eHy, and stood be.

when ans- man that ha4l a controversy came to
the kinr fur iutlgmeni, then Ahalom Called on
hi-n, and mt H what ciir r thm And he
Said, Thy serrant is f oua of tUe :ia of la

good and rilit but tliir is no man dcputi-d
of the kins; to Srar th-.
4. Absalom said moreover, O that I was made
Julge in the Unh that ever man tin hath any
avt or cause tuigh come unto me, and I would
do hint jufke. t ,
$. And it waa an, that win n any man came
hiph to do Him Wic, he put forth hia hand,
and txk him, and kisaed him.
L ..... A: I il

Absalom stole th hearts of the men of Israel.
- Upon which the annotor, Mr. bcott.
makes the following remarks:
" Abmlum ttolf. This eiprestion aptly
marks the' way in wHch AhsJom in (fa
listed himself with the people. lie did
not v,ain their hearit by eminent services,
or by a wise and tirtuous conduct ; hut he
affected to look (rreat, and yet to be very
condescending and affable to hit inferiors :
he pretended a great regard to their in
terests, and threw out artful insinuations
against David's administr.ition ; he fldttrr
ed every one who had a cause to he tried,
. with the assurance that he had right on his
side; that, if the cause went against him,
he might be led to accuse David and the
magistrates, of injustice. Though he
knew not how to obey, and deserved to die
for his crimes, yet he e a pressed a vehe
ment desire to be judge over all the land ;
and suggeated that uits should not K en
be so tedious, expensive, and partiillv de.
cided, as they were. This he confirmed
by rising earl Vf and apparent application ;
though it was to other people's business,
and not. to hi? own duty: and bv such sin
later arts, united with his personal attrac
tions and address, he imposed upon mul-1
tttudes ult over the Lnd,-to piefer so
worthless a character to the wise, righle
ous, and pious Djvid."
Mr. Scott con'inues : " They are com
monly most ambitious of vuthority who
least understand its f u'ies, and could least
endurr its btirdentr fiut-when mbitionjesr ond -honor f-ond my friend ahould-1
prompts, the most self indulgent assume
thft .ppearanc ol dtlifencF; afid the moil
haughty that of affibi'itv and condescen
sion ! and whilst men aspire to the pinna
cle of earthly grandeur, tbey? for the time,
pay the most abject court to the meanest
of the mob. Such fawning sons of am
bition, are peculiar to no age or nation :
but let every wise and honest man shun
them as a pestilence. . They make their
way by openly or obliquely traducing the
character, or censuring the measures, ol
their rulers ; shd 'tlie wisdom and pcrfec
. tion of an Angel would be no security
against their malignant insinuations.
These demagogues always have; proper
' persons on whom to practise. By joining
in their gtoundless complaints, they feed

To thoM of your readers, Mr. Editor,
who do not know who Mr. 3cott was, tl
mty be proper to mentbn, that be wst
pious sod eminent mlnls'er of the gospel,
who wrote a comment on the Bible and
ho hat been dead several tears. Dr.
AJ4m Clark approvet the coramenu of
D . Scoii and I tho'uld tend you some
thing that he sat t oh the above verses, but
hat I have perhaps already transcribed
loo much Irom I Jr. cott.
Let the reader judge for himself wheth
er the course, which has been pirsued
and is vet persisted in by a dittingtithed
leader of a party amongst us and hit
fi lends, bears a reaembUnre to that of
Absalom and his uctlon. or not ; and
whether a correct rr presentation of their
conduct be given in the following chapter.
I. N w, it came to pass, that the lime
when James M nrte should cease to be
Presi'lent of the United Sutes, dtew near j
and he had been a man val'unt in the de
f-nce of hit ountrv, in the time of her
peril and danger, and faithful to his trust
at C.hirf Maristrjte of the Kcpublic.
3. f herefore, tre people hved him and
respected him in his old age ; and were
etrredingly anxious to look out another
f i'iicn lo be tppointed President in hit
ro.m. who should also be faithful, w ise,
and valiant, at he had been.
3 Now, while the people looked abroad
and were in doubt and perplexity, in thit
matter, then many fixed their minds on
John Quincy Adams, because of hit great
tilents and long and faithful services to
his country.
4. And some much desired De Witt
( Union for Pi rsident. because he was also
a msn-of powerful wind, and much prac
tical ei ervjv of character.
3 CVhers espoused the cause of John
C. Calhoun, who had been the grc.it prop
ty in CongrttST ifMimes of triai aud4ia
mav. o Othrrt likewise desired Henry Clay,
w!wt w.s an eloquent man.
7 Hut many looked unto Hen. An
drew Jackiun, because that on all occa
sions he h id been valiant and faithful
and th'- m.in of the people.
8. For he h.d (uuht aTuins! the Ish
nuilites, otherwise railed the Indians, and
aved the live of minv women and chil
drenand had likewise defeated the Uri
tish with preat slaughter, when they be
tif ged the city of New Orlrans.
9. But whilst all good citizens were
thus deliberating and consulting and keep
ing in view the benefit of the country,
.mH to obtain suitable President therefor,
10 Then it mine to pass, that William
II. Crawford prepared him wives and
sirong diink, and sought out mean per
sons and men of IMiel to betiiend him.
I ! . And he rose up early, and stood be
side the doors of the Conurets and
it was so, that when any member of small
judgment came that way,
12. That, then, William called on him
and said, Of whit state ait thou and he
said, thv servant is of one of the Districts
of the United States.
13. Then Willi im said, O ! that I was
made President of the United States, that
all foolish men would, come unto me,
whom another, if he was made President,
would not regard, then would I give them
fat offices, anil loaves and fishes, and rich-
live daintily, and all who opposed them.
should trodden imdeT foot.
14. Now, therefore, I will teH thee
what thou art to do : Write many letters
to thy constituents j send them pi eniy of
the "City Gazette," which doth not re
frain to publish abusive lies, and evil re
ports on all who oppose me, and to lavish
most bountiful praises on me. .,
15. For our old President James Mon
roe, under whose administration the peo
ple have lived so happily, it doth abuse
continually ; and, likewise, Adams, Clay,
and Jackson ; therefore, it is meet that
you should send it forth amongst the peo
ple, for it may be that many foolish men
will believe these things.
16. And on this manner did William
lCtawfdttdrt MUhfeaMmber.i
dtrstaliding, who came into the. Congress
Hall. Likewise, he Invited them to go
in unto his houae, and drink wine and
strong drink with" him ; and recommen
ded unto them to take squaws for wives.
17. So William stole the hearts of all
the To-dish members of Congress, and act
their wits a longing after offices and hon
or, and the money of the people.
II. For tiiy titiftcotd unto hit yolce,
tti'l Mew the trumpet, and began strait-
wit io praJto vmiiani arm oot anixusr,
a.. . v .i (rntiy totoute Jtmta ionroe,
knd all the trie 4 and good Republicans, to

19. Like wise, many of the Ignorant
mongst the people, who h4 to opinion
of their on, but did only cJe unto
kit val told tem by the members of
Cengrttt, i4, therefore, adber to "in.

M the Coucui knowtV Vttterthan wo

ion bout tbr e things.' .
31. Therefore, the valiant men and lh
friende or liberty amongst the people,
when the found that such aristocratic
and ilavlsh doctrine! were propagated, did
join themselvti the more firmly,
31 Saying, let as adhere unto Andrew
Jackson, for he defeated the Indian, end
the British, aid le one of the people, end
hath always k friended the peoptet be
will also defett Wm. Crawford, and ea?e

Mr. White I I transcribe part of e letter
which I lately received from a member of
Congreaa from South Carolina, dated May
J3 1 which you may use as you tee proper.
" Scarcely a word it ever herd in the
City on the subject of the Presidential
Election. This tilence doet not erise
from any tetilemeot of the public mind
on any particular candidate, lot the istue
of the contest is at this moment cnvelo
ned in at much uncertainly at at the com
mencement of the session. Every one,
except too friendt of Mr. Crawford, con
tiller ihe n irstlon of succesa confined to
Ur A4im and Ctn. Jack son. And of
these two, so far as the ground can be
viewed from ihis pinnacle, Old Hukiry
terms lo be decidedly the roost gaining
cancidate ; as to the Secretary of the
Treasury, he seems to be losing ground."
So much then, sir, for the ttoriet In
dustriously propagated by our members
of Coogtcss, that the contest it to He be
tween Mr. Crawford and Mr. Adams.
I his story is evidently circulated with the
intention of inducing Gen. Jarkson't
friends to view his caute aa hopclets, in
expectation that some of them may join
the eaueui candidate. But Gen. Jackson
himself never regarded odds, but weot
fearlessly forward, and was alway suc
cessful ; and his friends seem to be aclu
atcd by the same tpirit. W nether they
are successful or not, they will do their
duty to their country And fortune favors

Mr. t'dltor: In the course of sundry
conversations with several southern mem
bers of Congress, it appears that all our
Representatives are in favor of Mr. Craw
ford for ihe Presidency ! How this hap
pens, 1 know not, unless, when at Wash
ington, in the sphere of attraction of that
rcsplendant luminary, their dim intellec
tual vision became totally eclipted.
A Representative thould be such, in
the true import of the word ; when he is
not, be mis represents his constituents.
Our Representatives did know, and do
know, that Mr. Crawjord is not the man
of the people of North-Uarolina : tie is

think of supporting for the all-important
off.ee of President
With these facts before us, it is really
astonishing that our members of Con
gress, in common with many others,
should so far forget themselves as not to
think of the feelings and interests of those
whom they pretend to represent.
But, after ail, the power resides in the
people, and they will, no doubt, view with
indignant contempt, the lordly dictation
made at Washington, or any other that
may be calculated ft deprive them., of
their elective franchise
The Cauruj Address has for sometime
past, burthened the mail towards every
point of the compass: It has been sent

S6me persons are so good natured and
credulous as to believe, that whenever a
man is elected to Congress, that he must
in consequence thereof, be possessed of
an extraordinary share of wisdom ; and a

while Mr. Calhoun wai on the list of can

i.u i " aatroa.
Mr. rrinttrt In tome editorial remarki,
arcompanylng a communication of mine
published in your excellent paper ef Ike
J Mb of May, I perceive that I either very
much mistook? my own meaning when I
penned those remarks, or have been mis
understood by you.. Dut that the matter
may be clearly understood, If there really
it any ambiguity in my expressions, let
me assure you, most unequivocally, that
I not only approve of, and prefer, Jkn
Quincy JJum$ to all others that are la
nomination for President, but that I am
resolved, if I live lo vote at all, to vote
for none else fu that place but bim, aod
him alone.
Presuming from tbe liberality of the
coarse that you have hitherto pursued,
and from the general lirvitalion tbtt wat
given in your paper, it my recollection
serves me right, lor the friendt of any of
the candidate to forward temperate views
of ibeir reasons for their choice, for pub
lication, thinking that I kept within the
prescribed limits, I had no other inten
tion in writing the remarki that you have
done me the honor lo publish, bit to pro
mote, to the best of my ufWlerstanduig,
the Interest of the candidate that ! pre
ferred. But 1 am willing to ac knowledge
that I wished lo promote those interests
only by fair and legitimate reasoning, and
00 ground t that appeared to tue to be
entirely tenable.
I irideed perceived that the Western
Carolinian appeared more desirous of
promoting the interests of General Jack
son, than enyrjrhTrof the candidates;
but I had hoped that an honest difference
of opinion would not have subjected me
to animadversions that appear to rue
pretty severe.
Dut to the point : What is it that has
occasioned thit cavitation to be bestow
ed on me ? Tor my life I can think of
noikUq ), than my having suggested
snd repeated my earnest desire that Ad
ams Ticket might be separated from all
others; that thereby his real weight might
be ascertained. And now, unless I was
originally constituted of inferior materials,
or have been by some means deprived of
a competent share of reasoning powers,
this is the onlv plan that has any plausi
bility in it. If it is otherwise, I desire of
some of those who recommend the Peo
ple's Ticket, to answer the difficulties
that I have supposed appeared to that
course, not bylmputing to me a desire or
a design to assist the raurua riV-trf, which
1 again deny; but by shewing, by argu
ments level to ray humble capacity, in
what sense I shall aid the election of Mr. j
damV . 5 k Jack,.on?r

public prints, make it aa probable that
Jackson will be President as that Craw
ford will ; and may I not then, sincerely
deprecate his obtaining the votes of the
friends of Mr. Adams, without incurring
the charge of having forsaken mr choice
for either of the others I It ma comport
well enough, for aught I know, with the
views of those who support the General'
election, to decry all attempts of the
friends of Adams to support their favor
ite : they may be of opinion, and perhaps
justly, that unless they can obtain the as
sistance of Mr. Adams' friends, they will
lose the vote of this state. This reason
ing may appear very conclusive to them ;
but it does not therefore follow that it has
the,sameforc.fi with the. adherentt of. hi
rival. I am altogether desirous of fair
play in thit business Fl-env anxious
that every candidate should have the
most complete opportunity of trying his
strength ; and am willing, at every citi
zen should Be, to abldTthe result. Bli?
Pry gentlemen, eive us some chance of
being heard on this occasion, and do not
endeavor to tritjk ut into the support of
Gen. Jackson, for fear of the success of
Mr. Crawford, when we want neither of
them, and are equally opposed to the suc
cess of both, because they are equally in
the way of the mun of our choice, and the
success of either must be hU.defeat and
equally J, be h which of them it msy.
