Therefore Resolved, That we have undivided con faience in the correctness of those cardinal principles which characterized the admin istrations of Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren, and we believe a strict con lormity to them, will secure the continued prosperity of the American people Resolved, That we aie now, as we have ever been, opposed to Henry Clay's 50 million National Hank, as not warranted hy the Constitution, inexpedient, uncalled tor by the want9 of the people, dangerous to our liberties and destructive to the Banks of the several States.

Brownlow1 s Slander of Gen Jackson while in Raleigh, and Gen. Jackson's Jlnswer. We publish below a letter which we re ceived from Gen. Jackson, a few das ago, in answ er to one addressed to him by us on the 15th ultimo, from which the reader will learn that the notorious William G. Brownlovv, whilst in this City on the occa- sion ot mr. t,iay s late visit, unuertooK. among his various performances, to publish a malicious slander aeainst the venerable and distinguished patriot of the Hermitage. We kept no copy of our letter to Gen. Jack sen, hut the statement it contained, will be found in his answer below. It was in a private circle that we heard Brownlow where were present the Hon. R. M. Pear son, Col. Pearson, and Gen'l Nicholas Gov. Jones replied that they h d no liht to expel her, unless Upon charges preferred and proved, and this proceeding must he had according to the rules and usage of the Church. 'That Gen'l. Jackson answered, he did not care what the rules of the Church were she ought to b and should be turn ed out, the welfare of the Church required it. Gov. Jones replied that she should not be turned out. " Mr. Brownlovv, heard this, as he said, from Gov. Jones himself, and requested him to let him Brownlow have the let ters f.;r publication; but that Gov. J. refus ed Upon the ground that the matter was connected with the Church. This last part of the statement was not heard by Mr. Li'c! ford he hav ing It ft be fore liiownlow concluded. Hermitage, Jlpril SO, 1S44. Mr. Pcrrin Bushee: Dear Sn : Your letter of the 1 5th in stant, dated R.letgh, North Carolina, ha-1 ju-t been received. Although much de bllitated and unahle to write, still, to tx pose a vile slanderer I make the eifoit, and hasten to feply. You are pleased to state in your letter that, A man name 1 Brownlovv. the edi Mor of the Jouesborough Whig, in this 'City a few evenings since, said, that he had seen in the nossession of Gov. Jones. certain lettets which you addressed to 'him as Elder of the Preshlerian Church, 'the day after you I become connected with that denomination. Fiomthefiisl of these letters, he said, that you 1 rr 'presenled to Gov. J. as Elder, that theie was a certain widow woman in the Church who ihould he immediately tur'n 'ed out; and that being answered, that such a proceeding could not. according' to "ihe discipline and rules of the church" be exectned so summaiily, you 1 lejoined, that the dictates of common sense r quir ked it, and that she should be turned out. 'whatever might he the rulesof theChurch." To all this I reply, that there is not one word of truth in the whole statement of Brownlovv. It is a bare faced fabticated slander; so far from its being true, when I joined the presbyterian Church, Gov. Jones was not an Elder of it, nor has he ever been since. Second: I never wrote Gov. Jones a letter in my life, on religious or 3tiy other subjects; uor never had or held with him a conversation on any religious subject. Third: Since I have joined the Presbyterian Church, there never has been any complaint against any of its members, that has come to my knowledge; and last ly, there never has been a widow vveman a member of our Church, before or since 1 j become a member, as lar as 1 have ever heard or known, whose moral and leli- early on the spot, all tflorts to save the house or contents were unavailing, and wfl regret to state that Mr. Jones lost all hs materials, his clothes, lools, and every t hing of which he was posessed.

At a late meeting of the Democratic Ex ecutive State Central commmee, neiu m this City, it was resolved to suggest to the people the importance of proceeding as soon as possible to the appointment of Electors for President and Vice President; and also that they appoint, by the same Conventions that shall select the principal Elector, at least one gentleman in each District who shall act as Assistant Elector. It would be better, perhaps, to appoint two Assistant Electors in each District: but our friends must of course be governed by circumstan ces. The importance and Dronriety of a w subterfuge be mine.

Jackson's answer to the charge. We would not be Understood, however as expecting, by this, to add much to the exposure which Brownlovv made of himself, while here; but as he occupies a prominent place with his party in Tennes see .vas a delegate to the Baltimore Con. vention is perhaps, respeated by a por tion of the party elsewhere, and is, as we are informed, a minister of the Christian re ligion, we deem it right and proper that those who heard his slanders of Gen. Jack son while in Raleigh (and they were no doubt retailed to a vast number of persons) should be undeceived, and that he should be held up to the execration of all. as one of the most detestable and wicked tradu cers of character, in America. We have received from William Ashley and James Litchford, Esqrs. of this City, the following as the statement made Brownlow, in the Piazza of Litchford's Hotel, during the visit of Mr. Clay, and in the presence of several gentlemen--them- selves of the number. 1 he names of other gentlemen present, visiters to the City are not recollected by either Mr. A. or Mr. L.

Wie believe the object is to prevent Bishops from holding them, and some other matters shewing a meddling disposition. We notice one circumstance of a singulat nature. Mr. Hobard, from the Maine Conference, (wi'h the proviso that he only did it officially) presented a petition against the annexation of Ttxa&; asking the Conference to speak out on the subject it being, in the opinion of the memorialist calculated to perpetuate slavery. Mr. Cartwright moved that the memorial be referred to Congress at Washington as the legitimate committee for such a document, Mr. Sand ford hioved that the memorialists have leave to withdraw Iheir petition which was Carried.
