"of our haying published a piece of ?iis in favor of Jackson, in aYev papers only that went to Warrcnton, and in na other." Warren seeuls to be igno rant of a fact, that is notorious to every body else, that vc publish two papers, one semi-weekIy, the other weekly and that though the latter, paper con tains much of the matter which appears iu the former, it cannot contain the whole, since eight pages cannot- be compressed into four. The piece to which Warren alludes, was published in the Serai-weekly paper of the 28th of;May,j and so confident are we that it appeared in every paper, that we hereby offer' him. one hundred do!.- ars, for every semi-weekly Register of that delate, which he can produce, that does.ijot contain the piece in ques tion. The charge is indeed too pre posterous to gain a moment's credit uith any person of ordinary intelli gence. : As to the ridiculous assertion of our dropping Mr. Adams andrtaking up Mr. Crawford for the ' Residency, it has no foundation., in fact, as all our readers can testify. , ; The Register was one of the first pa pers in the State that opened its co lamn! to articles in favor of General Jackson, though the never seconded his pretensions.

By reference to tlie extUct from the Albany Argus, in a preceding column, it will be seen that theLegisIatureof this state has adjourn- ed,j after censuring the Governor as we antjcipatcd m our last, for an unwar- i-antable- and indiscreet exercise of his constitutional prerogative.
