these intrigues were hostile to General
Jackson himself. ' . 1
We' need rt inform our readers that
Mr. Kendall and Mr. Biair,; were both
the active partisans of Mr. Clay in 1825
that theytook an active part to prevail on
the members of Congress from Kentucky
to vote for; Mr. Adams, and that neither
of them entered the Jackson ranks until a
late period. It is not our purpose how to
tell how,orbv vbom, or under what con -
' siderations Mr. Kendall was induced to
desert his. friend Mr. Clay. It is certain
that he had no schiples about the 44 BAitr
oAiN.',--Our purpose is, to prove what hex
has said of us is unmerited and for this
purpose we insert the following letters
the first from Mr. Blair to the editor of
the Telegraph,; dht tKe other from Mr.
Kendall hhnself,;'although it does not bear

Ve never sought pitronnw;., and do not
know that we ever received it xipon the
ground that we were a "whole hog" Jack
sonite.: If We had. we should have been
suilty of a duplicity which would have de
served more than the contempt of our read
ers. But our files bear us ample testi
mony, thatVe repeatedly declared, during
the last Presidential contest, that we sup
ported Gen. Jackson only as the ' choice
of evils." ' We coujd not brino; our mind
to support Mr.Adams, at any time; Gen.
Jackson was the only other candidate, &
it was not in our power to choose beyond
these two. In this eihergency we hoped
that Gen. Jackson would administer the
Government in such .a manner as we
could, approve, and therefore gave him
our support. With the candor which is
due to bur readers, we are free to declare
that in thhjhonewe have been disappoint
ed, h-stead of making the Constitution
its guide, we have seen this Administra
tion boldly usurping the power of the Se
nate, in the very matter which received
its heaviest denunciation when claimed
by Mr. Adams, and which probably -did
as much as any other circumstance to de
feat -his re-election. We need not sav
that wc allude to the Panama Mission and
its counterpart th'e.Turkiso Mission.
Instead of giving offices to worth and
capacity. ..! system of "rewards and pun
ishments'? has been originated by tin
Administration, destructive of the" free
dom of opinion, caku'ated to make a Pre
sidential 'election a corrupt contest for cf
ficc.in v.l'.ich principle is sacrificed, & in
which it will he the duty of every holder
of a government office, to support the ex
isting administration - How soon, with
such
hundred thousand' Federal Officers scat
precedent established by the virtuous j and his presses desire, by taunt and c
anhingfon, and effect his re-election for
a third 'and fourth term. We have seen
the operation of this motive already.
What el se is it that has induced General
Jackson to , consent to a re-election, ?n
We air know that lie was opposed. upon
priticiplp to the re-eiijribilitj of a Prei
deuf. Tna he carried not only this o
' pinion with hirn into the Presidential chair
j but that .his habits and idea, of comfort
j nc'V ,u,,(,'','a have prevailed upon him to
I bl afa'ul a. candidate. Should he be re-
elected, the same love ot" office will be at
work six yars hence II will be ag;ain
told that the republican party look to him
for -the support end maintenance of cor
rect principles,,, and that it is esseutial
to the prosperity ot the country that he
should he re-electeil.
Instead of correcting abuses, we hon
estjv beli've that there ha ;iever ben a
period since the formation f our govern
ment when so much coiruption was ti-'. r
ted. Wed6)not mean to ch.ne Gen.J. ck
son with corruption. Bu ie has tolera
ted it. His favorite pres- ui labored Io
palliate one of the'most itisquitous trans
actions of the P ist OHiee Department, that
has ever been proved upon anv Depart
ment of the Go eminent, and the uilv
hiive not been removed, i The Adiuinis-
j tf at; rm party in f he Sen -ven stifled an
;i . ii ir v into the aduutu 'iration of tiie ?, f
j ;.iirs of the Post O.Tioe Depat -rtn-..t, which
"o one will believe th - would have done
if all oad been riht there.
Instead of the rigid economy that wc
expectetl, the public documents abun
dantlv prove, that nothing ha- been gain
ed in that respect, even over the late Ad
ministration. We make the Navy De
partment, as administered by Vir-Hranc,'
(vho was nevera favorite vvi:. us) an ex
ception to tiie above remark. 3
These remarks may serve to show our
friend of the Examiner, whv we have

From the Cha -teuton JMcrcary'.
A rumor has been in vcrv general i
culation lately that the Virginia nf
bers of Congress have seceded f: -ian t'
President, and that they have expre.-u,
a disposition to support" Mr. Caliiojlt.!
Of the truth of this rumor we know not
ing ; but whether true or otherwise,
have been not a little surprised at t
language held by the New-York Court,'
notoriously devoted to Mr. Van Bun
in relation to ii. That paper says
ainia will set matters right w. if

at the tone of another print the G ?or-,

In our opinion, they can scarcely be re
