Jackson to Gen. Armstrong, containing a brief notice of Mr. Adam's late Boston speech, in which the latter seeks to deliver himself from the taint winch his veracity, blostered with his dia ry, suffered in '36, in the assertion of facts in regard to the making of the treaty with Spain in 1819, which were disproved a like by the Slate archives and the public journals. In a letter to us from General Jackson, requesting a republication of his letter to Gen. Armstrong, he alludes to cir cumstances which make it a proper intro duction to that published in the Union. We therefore insert it at full length, and shall hereafter bring up some reminiscen ces of the life of Mr. Adams, which will satisfy the country that his dishonorable conduct in the instances exposed by Gen. Jackson, as affecting himself, is in perfect keeping with earlier and more obscure passages in his career. Hermitage, Oct. 24, 1844. My Dear Mr. Blair : On the 12th instant. I had a return of hemorrhage, and two days after, a chill. With the lancet to correct the first, and calomel to check the second, I am srreatly debilitated. But being aroused by J. Q. Adams's address totheyounor men of Bos ton on the 7th inst., (sent to me on the 22d inst., by my friend Mr. Robert Armstrong,) I made a concise reply thereto all that my fee ble health and the absence of my papers per mitted. I sent this to the Nashville Union, and in that paper of the 23d, it will reach you. I trust yon will give it a place in your Giobe, to meet the falsehood in the address. You will observe that Mr. John Q. Adams reiterates the false statement made by him 'years ago,' in a new form; for he says: " This very boundary of the Sabine in the Florida treaty was, before it was finally pro posed to the Spanish minister Onis, by the direction of President James Munroe, shown by me to the hero for his opinion and advice, which was in its favor." All this statement I pronounce now, as I did the first one, when made eight years ago, a falsehood. If Mr. Monroe wished my opinion and advice, why did he not ask it himself! He knew that 1 I have been interrupted at least ten times since I began this letter, by company, and write with great, pain, but am so anxious to bring the address of J, Q. Adams, in connec tion with the circumstances in my recollec tion, to your viei n I could not consult my ease, or allo. sie for health to impose restaint. I nope yon will show him in his true colors to the American people. Youf friend, in haste, ANDREW JACKSON. F. P. Blair, Esq. 1-tf Auctioneer & Commission Die reliant, WILMINGTON, N.

Soon after the triumphant vote of the House of Representa tives, acquitting me of all the improper con duct alleged in the resolutions of Clay and Cobb, I left the city of Washington, having, the day after the vote, visited the representa tive body by invitation, I think on the npxt I left the city for West Point Academy. This base falseheod was, I thought, nailed to the counter, when first made by Mr. Adams, by the Globe, and there it has stuck for years ; but on the eve of the Presidential election, and when Mr. Adams might well have sup posed me nearly dead, and so entirely enfee bled by sickness as tifee incapable of reply, he produces it again, Imh a new face upon it. Providence, kind to me, has disappointed him; and I again declare this new-vamped statement, that I was consulted by him on the boundary of the Florida treaty before it was made, and that I agreed to the boundary pro posed the Sabine is positively false, his pretended diary to the contrary notwithstanding.

What honorable or just man can repose be lief on his statements, after his receiving from Dr. Mayo, the copy of a letter marked "con fidential," and producing and reading it to the House of Representatives, and urging that, 1 meant the reverse of its express instructions, to prove me guilty of duplicity! This letter was to Judge Fulton, then acting governor of Arkansas, in the absence of Gov. Pope. He (Adams) saw it marked "confidential." He also knew that it was purloined from me by his accomplice in this transaction, and if an honorable man, would at once have returned it to me. Instead of this he kept it, and read it to the Representative branch of Congress, and totally perverted its meaning. Was there ever such dishonorable conduct practised by any man of the least pretension lo respecta bility before But this is an act of perfidy on the part of one once holding tha elevated station of the Presidency ! True, he obtain ed it by intrigue, bargain, and corruption ; but the distinction should have imparted some consideration for the public's sense of honor, if he himself had no sense of the kind. But his interest now prompts him to shield him self from the charge of giving to Spain, by the treaty of 1819, the greater part of Loui siana as ceded by France to the U. States by the treaty of 1803, extending to the Rio Grand Del Norte, and he fabricates the positive false hood, that, before submitting it to Onis, he consulted me, and I agreed to the Sabine as the boundary. In proof, he cites a diary pre pared by himself lo suit an emergency, and produces it eight years after it was called for, by the issue made by me in regard to the fact it was referred to for the purpose of vouching. I hope he will make known to the public what his diary says as to the purloined letter taken from me, and handed to him by Dr. Mayo, marked "confidential." Has he noted in his diary that he knew this purloined letter was stolen, and that his reading as lawyer taught him, that in contemplation of law, the recei ver of stolen goods, knowing them to be sto len, was as bad as the thief, especially if he converted them to his own use ! But the bold, daring, and unblushing false hood in his address, where (attending to the congressional proceeding touching my con duct in the Seminole campaign) ne says my acts in Florida were condemned by the unan imous voice of both Houses of Congress, caps the climax. Who, after 6nch a bare-faced falsehood as this, pronounced in the face of the Journals of Congress, which show that the House of Representatives, by a large ma jority, on Clay and Cobb's resolutions, exon erated me Irom all censure and blame, can fool nvt.hinor but contempt for such a reck- less ealumn ator? The man must ne inaa, !: or he js lost to all sense of shame as well s 1. truth. Hermitage, Oct. 22, 1844. Dear Sir : I thank you for the copy of the Intelligencer containing the address of John Q. Adams to the Young Men's club of Bos ton, delivered on the 7th inst. This address is a labored attempt on the part of Mr. Adams to discredit the testimeny of Mr. Erving, whose statements were refer red to in my letter to the Hon. A. V. Brown of February 12th, 1843; and, like most of the productions from a diseased mind, proves lit tle else but its own weakness and folly. My letter to Mr. Brown was published on the 20th of March, 1844, in Washington city, where Mr. Adams was at the time. It has been the subject of comment in the newspaper press of both parties in all portions of the Un ion; and the statements of Mr. Erving, and the inferences from them, have not been deemed worthy of the notice of Mr. Adams, until now, just before the close of the presidential can vass, he pretends to have discovered that great injustice had been done him, and he makes a childish appeal to his own" diary" to screen him from the odium which has fallen upon his treachery to the best interests of his coun try. Mr. Adams has been seven months in pre paring this tissue of deception for the public. I pledge my countrymen, as soon as I can ob tain the papers not now in possession, refer red to in the letter to Mr. Brown, to prove not only that Mr. Adams has no cause of com plaint against me, but that his veracity, like ins diplomacy, cannot be propped up by his I say, in advance of the review I shall take of this extraordinary production, thus heralded before the public eye of the presidential elec tion, that the assertion of my having advised the treaty of 1819 is a barefaced falsehood, without the shadow of proof to sustain it; and that the entire address is full of statements at war with truth, and of sentiments hostile to every dictate of patriotism. Who but a traitor to his country can ap peal as Mr. Adams does to the youth of Bos ton, in the close ot his address? "Your trial is appr-mchiwr. The spirit of freedom and the spirit of slavery are drawing together for the deadly conflict of arms. The annexation of Tex as to this Union is the blast of the trumpet for a foreign, civil, servile and Indian war, of which the government of the United States, fallen into faithless hands, has already twice given the sig nal first by a shameless treaty rejected by a va rious Senate; and again by the glove of difiance hurled by the apostle of nullification at the avow ed policy of the British empire, peacefully to promote the extinction of slavery throughout the world. Young men of Boston, burnish your armor prepare for the conflict; and I say lo you in the language of Galgacus to the ancient Briton, think of your forefathers think of your posterity 7" What is this but delusion, or, what is worse, a direct appeal to arms to op pose the decision of the American people, should it be favorable to the annexation of Tex as to the United States 1 I may be blamed for spelling Mr. Erving's name wrong, but I trust I shall never deserve the shame of mistaking the path of duty where my country's rights are involved. I believe, from the disclosures made to me of the trans actions of 1819, that Mr. Adams surrendered the interests of the United States when he took the Sabine river as the boundary between us and Spam, when he might have gone to the Colorado, if not to the Rio del-Norie. Such was the natural inference from the facts stated by Mr. Erving; and there is nothing in the account now given of the negotiation to alter this impression. The address, on the contrary, does not at all relieve Mr. Adams. It proves that he was then, as now, an alien to the true interests of his county ; but be had not then, as now, the pretext of co-operation with Great Britain in her peaceful endeavors to extinguish slavery throughout the world. Is there an American patriot that can read the above extract, and other similar ones that may be taken from the address of this monar chist in disguise, without a feeling of horror 1 Grant that the thousands of those who think with me, that the addition of Texas to our Union would be a national benefit, are in er- i i. ip .i : ror: are ve lo ue ueierrea irom me expression our opinions by threats of armed opposition 1 and is it in this manner that the peaceful poli cy of Great Britain is to be carried into exe cution should the American people decide that we are not in error? Or does Mr. Adams mean to intimate that the will of Great Bri tain should be the law for American statesmen, and will be enforced at the point of the bayo net by those who descended from the patiiots of our revolution? Instead of going to British history for sen timents worthy of the republican youth of our country on an occasion so vitally affectingour national safety and honor, I would recommend those in General Washington's farewell ad dress, and particularly his warning to us to a void entangling alliances with foreign nations, and whatever is calculated to create sectional or geographical parties at home. I am, very truly, Your obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON. Gen. Robert Armstrong. From the If. Y. Evening Mirror, Nov. 6. The Town. The day after the Ballot. The contention for the favors of Mrs. Vox Populi is over. The difficult dame has made her election. The future President is in the ballot-box, and that womb of authority is now silently waited upon by the paternal majority. God bless whatevei is to be brought forth ! Thank Heaven, the Town is stiller! There is more noise upon the Blacksmith's anvil and the Shoemaker's lapstone more clatter upon the Tinman's vice and the Oppersmith's rivet; but the Town's heart beats less audibly, to-day, and the Town's pulse less feverishly and wiloly. The political bully is looking round unwillingly but peacefully for work The club-wrangler's vocation is gone. The working-man will give less of his evening to the bar-room and caitbus. Wives rejoice. Children are glad. . Considering only individuals, the immedi ate tumult and recoil of politics seem only e vil and violence. The pore and the pediculus will complain of blood-letting and blister. We believe the country at large is benefitted by the bringing of these bad humors to the surface, however. We are sure, at least, that we see all there is, in our body popular, that is dangerous. There is evil disposition, antag onism, discontent, craving for excitement, love of combination, dormant energy and ambition qualities everywhere distributed, and hun gering, every one, for a field of action. W here better would they break out, than in politics? How, easier, should we know our neighbor's length of conscience-string and proneness to trick and unfairness, than by watching him when his passions are roused and his cautious ness forgotten1 What man in a political committee knows too little of his fellows for future living with them? But, thank God, the tumult once over, the city returns to peace, industry and prosperity. Injury and calumny stand no more behind the Editor's chair Literature and commerce, in stead, look promptingly over his shoulder. The merchant is relieved from anxiety, and knows how to shape his venture. The me- OREGON. chanic "hangs" politics for a plague and a bother. The Republic has set up its master, and is content to be governed while it toils and prospers. Tbere is one feature of the late contest, however, for which we can find no philosoph ical offset. We refer to the unparalleled and insane extent to which betting has been carri ed. Of any good this practice does, we do not see even a shadow. Of its intolerable evils we hear mournful accounts at every turn. It seems to have infected, with a gambling mania, those who never before hazarded mo ney on a question of chance or uncertainty. We have heard several really most lamenta ble instances of fatuity and disaster in this new demon-shape of party spirit. Families are ruined, creditors robbed, children deprived of education and bread, by men who would as soon cut off their hands as throw a stake at a gaming table! Is there no power in the law to put a stop to this new evil of politics? We ask this question to provoke, if possible, an answer. And now as politics walk out from the public mind, and there is room for something else to walk in let us mention a great evil in this country of ours, and tell some news that has an example by which to mend it. We toil too much ! Without enlarging at all on this thought breeding text, we forthwith show our drift by giving a paragraph from 3 late London pa per : "Early hours with shopkeepers. A meeting of the members and friends of the Metropoli tan Drapers' Association was held at Exeter Hall on Wednesday evening. The whole of that spacious building was crowded to excess, it being computed that there were not less than 5,000 persons present. Sheriff Sydney took the Chair, the Lord Mayor being unable to attend. to obtain an abridgement of the hours of busi ness in the drapery and other trades of the metropolis, with a view to the physical, mor al, and intellectual improvement of the assis tants'. The plan adopted to accomplish this object is not, in the first instance, to appeal to employers to close their establishments at a-, ny specific hour; hut to persuade the public to abstain from making purchases in the evening, and so, by removing all inducement, to make it unnecessary for shops to be kept open be yond a reasonable time; thus rendering it practicable for all employers, who are favora ble to the change, to close their establishments without loss, and without fear, from the com petition of others. In the language of the President, 'This is no association for the pur pose of coercing or constraining the employ ers of London. The object is not to restrain the inclinations of employers, but to persuade the inclinations of their customers and the public, because with the one body, with the employers alone, there does not exist the ex clusive means of removing the evil we com plain of, but with the other, there is the po tential and undeniable power of providing that simple and effectual remedy which we desire to see applied. 1 his principle was univer sally approved, and resolutions embodying it were adopted. ' Several influential drapers bore testimony to the great advantage already derived by curtailing the hours of business, not only by the masters, but by their assistants, who thus had better opportunities for impro ving their minds, and participating in neces sary relaxation." If the precise locality of the "Par WeitM has never yet been satisfactorily agreed upotv by the people of our Weatern world, it is like ly, we think, to be determined before long.- That it will be found on the shpres of the great ocean whose waters form the boundary of oar territory in that direction is pretty clearly indi cated in the information which we subjoin, r- The Missouri Expositor of the 06th ult. an nounces the arrival there of Mr. Gilpin, fronv Oregon. Mr. Gilpin passed the winter amongst the American settlements of Waftametle and the adjacent sea coast, and he describes them, as enjoying prosperity when he left them in April last. The emigrant party of 1843, hich he accompanied, arrived at their destination in November last, after having braved and over come unparralleled dangers and difficulties from Savages, from thirst, from hunger cross ing parched, treeless plains, fierce angry ri vers, and forcing their wagons through a Mou tand miles if mountains declared i in passable bv the most experienced guides and yoyagers." This accession swelled the population of Ore gon to upwards of two thousand, and they had formed a government, elected officers, esta blished courts and a record of land titles. "Farms," he says, "freckle the magnificent plains; towns are spingine up at convenient points from the rivers; a dozen excellent mills supply lumber and flour for home use and ex port; the fisheries are not neglected, and the lands surveyed. A college, numeions schools and several churches are scattering education amongst the young. Money has been sent to New York for a printing press and steam en gine. . Cattle and stock of all kinds are accu mulating and rapidly increasing under a mtld" climate and unfailing pastures. Provisionsof all kinds are abundant of the most excellent quality and moderate prices." Mr. Gilpin passed the trading fort of Btidger & Vasquez on the 19th of August. This foft is one hundred miles west of Green river, and exactly half way from Independence to the Wallametto. The A menean trappers scatter ed amongst the mountains, had there collected to meet the emigrants of last spring, an ad vanced party of 30, of whom with their wag gons and cattle passed, on the 17th, two days later than the emigration of the preceding year. Two larger companies behind, under Gen. Gilliam and CoL' Ford, passed subse quently, and all tn good time to reach the set tlements before the setting in of the winter.

We imported during the fiscal year 1843, ending September 30, about $89,000,000 worth. The present year, .ending the 30lh inst., will show an increase over the last year of, probably, about $20,000,000. We think the imports for the year will not va-. ry much from $110,000000, closing with the present month. The revenue will a--mount to between $30,000,000 and $40, 000,000. If the duties under the present tariff ave raged not over 20 per cent, we would have imported $200,000,000 worth ; and our exports would have been about the same. Our staple productions, wheat, cotton, &c. would have brought full one third more than they have brought, while, cotton and woollen goods, sugar, &c, The object of the Association is, would have brought at last 20 percent Then our farmers, planters, and laborers would have been protected as well as the" manufacturers.
