As the means of preserving union in his

Jackson party was composed of discordant
and conflicting interests, each selfish in its
aim; nd bffore his election, it was predic
ted that disunion would tread-upon the
lieels of the administration of the President

of bargain, and relying on the patronage of
the government to purchase popularity, Mr.

pursuits, and having selected the vocation
of an editor as a profession, it has been my
object at all times to elevate" the character,
as well as Jhe influence of th0 press : Re
lying upon the inteiligence of the public, I
have believed that the only means of accom
plishing the one or attaining the other,' was
a strict adherence to truth, and a bold and
fearless advocacy of the great principles
upon which our republic? was established,
and upon: the maintenance of which the
happiness of our people depends.
Fortunately for me, Mr. Jarvis and his
copyists expose their own want of these es
sential qualities." speaking of me, he says,
(1 use his own words,)
"I should consider the allegations of Duff
ureen of equal importance with those, of aeon
vict in. any of our penitentiaries. More particu
larlv should I shrink from any thins: which-im
plied any equality between ,him and myself, or
which could bring Hit name and mine in juxtapo
sition before the public; for as Doeberry says.
" thtm that touches pitch must surely be defiled,"
so, I should tieem such association of names as
profitable tb ray own, as would be a similar asso
ciation with that of a common thief or pick
pocket. Dvff -Green, of himself, is indeed ion
low, too degraded, to deserve any. notice from
those who can offer any claims to private respec
tability." And. again he says, .
" But above all, he was deficient in that politi
cal morality which discriminates between te
means of attaining an end,, which acknowledges
some other criterion of right, than success," and
which deems principles more valuable than votes.
IN or was hs obliqut- morality confined to politics,
as will appear from another characteristic tmec
dote. At an early period of our partnership, he
stated that, by certain operations, he could ob
tain for our merchants their claims upon the
French Government, and pocket large sums of
money for himself and his partner. 1 be plan
was as follows; These merchants were willing
to allow, said he, on obtaining their claims a
certain propoition, which would amount to $3,-
OGO.OUO. Mr. Villele had sufficient influence with
his government, to procure the allowance of these
claims- and would effect it for a compensation of
S 1,000,000. One of us might be appointed as
agent for these claims, and thus eah of ui might
pocket $1,0 0.000! ! ! My reply to this was given
in a single word, and that word was bribery,"
In this statement, Mr. Jarvis has over
reached himself. He estimates me as a
convict of a penitentiary, as a common
thief or pickpocket; and charges that, at
an early period of our partnership, I pro
posed to him to become participant in a
splendithscherae of bribing the French Mi
nister, to dov justice. to our ci'izens. Now.
what reliance is to be placed in the asser
tions of Mr. Jarvis, if it shall appear that
after this, proposition was made to him, I
had literally, to kick hiro out of my compa
ny that he was desirous to continue a paru
nership with one of whom he had so bad
an opinion ? rJ hat I had a conversation
with him on the subject of the French spo
liations, is true ; but that 1 made any pro
position to him such as he states, is' false.
1 recollect that one evening, speaking of
these claims and the French Minister, I said
that a gentleman of intelligence had expres
sed his opinion, that .Mr.Villele was poor,
that he. was ambitious and unprincipled,and
that the. only chance whicfi" the merchants
of this couhify ever .would have to obtain.
ui indemnification for their losses, would
be to give a douceur for bis influence. Mr.
Jarvis, evei keen scented when money came
in the way, jmmediatejy set to work to cal
culate how much could be made out of such
a -speculation. ; Those who know his apti
tude to figures, and have witnessed the
restless avidity with which, be makes his
calculations, alone can form any idea of his
look or his manner. The figures, and all
beyond this, are the addenda of his fruitful
imagination Mr. Jarvis now pretends that
lie considered it at the time a proposition
Qt.bribety ; and the Journal owned in part
by Doctor Waikins, exclaims r
" It appears that while Duff Green was the Or
gan of the Combiaatlon io fabricating tales of
bargain ajid corruption against the late Adminis
tration, as a text for virtuous declamation and in
making corrupt political compacts throughout the
country i he was also engaged in an attempt to
bribe a foreign minister of State I Declaring
that our merchants were , willing to allovr three
millions of dollars as a compensatioo for obtain
iiie navment of -their" claims on the French Go
vernment, he proposed to.Mrs. Jarvis that one of
them should obtain the appointment ot Agent tor
these claims; that they shculd divide equally be
tween then, two million of dollars and give the
other million to Mr, Villete, a French Minister
of State, as a bribe1 for procuring from hi go
vernment the allowance of the claims I
Now Mr. Jarvis admits that this conver
sation was at an early period of pur partner

be. why aid ne not imnreataiiy uisuive ait

riotism ot the conductors of the public press
of this country, , to believe that t they, w ill
stand by with folded arms, or that tjiey will
permit me to be condemned unheard. I
have been assailed by Mr. Jarvis; my late
partner, with a malevolence, as undeserved
as it is desperate, a violence: which must
recoil on its author. He dealsln round as-
seriions atidabusive epithets, and furnishes
in his own production, the strongest Justin
cation for onei of the nrincinal charges
against rae to wit; dissolving the partner
ship which existed between us. I shall not
in this respect follow his example This
vindication is intended for an intelligent
public, with whom invective and abuse will
not pass for argument, nor jaundiced state
ments of mortified vanity and disappointed
amoition lor fact, facts are stubborn
things, and on them I rest my reputation
for truth and honor. "v.
I have-' seen publication No.' 2 rom the
pen of Mr. Jarvis. , Jn that he promises b
give in a succeeding number my first lettei
to him with his reply. These letters' will
show, that so far from considering it a dis
grace or unprofitable to be associated will?
me in business, it was I who made the et
tort, and that it was with great difficulty
that I could disengage myself from his ava
ricious grasp. He Thai ges me with decoy
ing him into partnership and says:;
I did not, and could not have suspected that,
while this caitiff, like Joseph Surface, was can
ting about confidence and good faith, he was har
boriug the base design ot terminatiag our . rela
tions, so soon as tne contest in which we were
then engaged should be- succesfuUy terminated,
and almost immediately atier, my money had
saved his establishment from anexecntton. and
his person from a jail." - ; : r r
My day books show that the transactions
tor the. current year commencing with the
date of our partnership amounted to more
han two hundred thousand dollars, and the
following letters ill show that while I was
prompted, ' throughout the whole negocia
ion by a spirit of nberalitir and" disinter
ested fidelity to the party, whose cotifi
dence it was my desire to propitiate and
whose prosperity I labored to promote, h
was actuated, by a heartless avarice which
would sacrifice his country and even his
S'ul lor pence. , inoeeu, in nis extremt
desire to injure roe. blinded by his own
passion, speaking of the' partnership he says:
"It is- needless to say, that in this contract, the
patronage of. Congress was a; leading, induce
mentr . - .
Let this be taken with the circumstances
stated in my letter of the 12th July, admit
ted to be true in his reply, both of which
.vili be ?iven in1 my next, and it will be
seen " that although that patronage' did not
enter into the inducement with me, and
hat although the contract was made before f
ie. under pretences which I then believed
to be sincere, avoided closing it until after
the vote gfthe.Senate confirming my ap-
Dointment as Drmter. that J aid not. in
duce him to remove to Washington, appears
by his letter soliciting to become my partner
and his declaration tha t fie Intended to leave
Boston at any rate. That be bas not lost
by 'his association with me," ap'pears from
the fact that he admits that the lve thousand
dollars advanced was repaid, and That he is
to receive about three' thousand dollars for
the few short paragraphs written chiefly
under my dictation and correction. That
his charge that his money had saved my
establishment from an execution, and my
self from-a jail, is untrue, appears from the
fact, that altliousn tne iransaciions-or me
office-during the year exceeded 2UU,U0t,
he does not pretend that he ad vanced one
cent to support its credit or defray its ex
penses. And, whilst I admit that I, laboured
under' great pecuniary difficulties, arid as
sert lhar I never hesitated to extend the
operations of the paper, as Jfai as my
resources would allow; I cannot believe that
I was at any time unable" to raise the sum
of five thousand dollars, if ihe preservation
of my establishmenror rojr personal hberty
depended thereon.
The object of this article is, to, disprove
the charge of having invited wr. Jarvis jo
Washington, and of having dissolved tne
partnership after the presidential election.
It will be seen that. dissolution ; was an
nounced before that -deciioivi wastermin
ated; and " that my : desire to desolve was
made known as early as the first of July,
many montbs before the dissolution took
place. That he invited iiimself appears

The pledge of Reform, which the President

who voted for him had that very Ilef&rm in
view which he promised, and upon which
jjnany of us trust he is but fairly commencing.-
Yet, the Coalition Presses Jwill not
allow that we knew our own motives- and
'they continue to quarrel with us, and some
times to reason with uSj to prove, that we1
neither contemplated nor wished that the
Augean Stable should be cleansed, or tha

win frankly acknowledge that the presump

upon us, and they have a right to contro

noise they make must go for what it is
wrrth, with every firm and decided friend
of Reform.
Nothing has transpired which goes to in
dicate either the peculiar policy or mea
sures of the administration, as to our do
mestic or foreign affairs. But the presses
of the country contain incessant attacks and
defences of the administration, breathing a
spirit of political rancor ominous to the fu-

of public- measures, all are appealed to in
proof of (he justice of this remark. Mr..
Jefferson was called upon t reform the

vilified as he was, had confidence in the
honorable support of the nat'oii.( He look

stituted his judges and if his measures
met their approbation, he heeded not what ,
his enemies either thought or said. It is;

Thus far, "pothing has transpired from
the administration to censure or approve,
