Gazley, Esq. who was a member of Congress, from the Cincinnati District, at the session of 1S24-5. They relate to the circumstances which occurred previ ous to the last Presidentialeleclion we have selected the following passages: "The facts are these namely: a week or ten days before the last Presidential election, members of Congress friendly to Mr. Adams declared publicly that it was then reduced to a certainty that Mr. Clay's friends wTould vote for Mr. Adams, whose election was cer tain at the first ballot: having heard these declarations made, they depend on no conjecture: if there were no consultations, no pledge or promise made, how came this fact to be known Mr. Scott had declared publicly at the early part of the session, that he should vote for Andrew Jackson in accordance with the wish of his constituents and the pledge given them: vet these same friends of Mr. Adams, at the time first men tioned, declared that ho would po- I say no sitch things, becase I Isitivoly vote for Mr. Adam?; and know naething about it, and dare- that Mr. Cook, who stood in the for shall leve de big men tu talk same situation, would do the same: it out by demsclvcs. jthey did vote for Mr. Adams, and Sum of urn says dat Jineral j he was elected at the first ballot!

It appears that the stale merit in our last paper, respecting the J outrage committed on the premises of Stephen Kogers, Esq. in Greene county, t was partially incorrect. We have rccei 1 ved another account of the affair, in sub stance as follows: In the day previous to the outrage, Mr. Rogers had a difference of a serious nature with one of his ten ar.ts, and they parted. The tenant made very severe threats against Mr. Rogers, and that night the mischief was done. The prevailing opinion in the neighboi hood is, that the tenant was the perpc- the act; and this belief is change in my mind takes place, I shall .vote for him. I take the earliest opportunity to apprise you of this tact, that you may not commit vourself with friends, on the subject. JOHN SCOTT. ANSWER. mate Chamber, Fib. 8.

Tu be sure, dey arc bet-! friends are willing we should iVht ter men than tu act in dat way? I hoap so, at least. Now, Mistur Eddittur, from what little informaslnm 1 have gathered from de newspapers, I think Jine ral Jacksun should be our next President, becase I reckon as how, he would newmoddle sum of our big folks at Washington Citie, and let um know what it is tu fool wid de freemen of our good countrie. I see in de Free Press tother day, a communicashun signed Sampson Snakeroot, written in vindicashun of Mistur Claye's con duct, when as de big men says he made Mistur Addums de Presi dent of de Newnited States: but, Sir, I think his plea wont do, for lie's got no foundation. And do next week, A Voice from Nort Carolina, , comes out and tears iUistur Snakeroot intu linte he skins him, and shaves him tu dc bone. I tell you what, Sur, dis here Voice writes no ways slow; lie's a rip tairer, a real roarer, a full-bludded Jacksun man, haif horse, and iiait alligatur; he's mi man forever? O, you fellows, vou their battles, and secure them all the sweetmeats." A warm and decided friend to Mr. Clay votes for a man to be President to whom he is decidedly hostile: and for what, and for whom? Why. he tells you for the sake of our Ken tucky friends! Why for them? that they may get oflice or sweet meats. When did they get office or sweetmeats, and what battles were fought? The thing is plain beyond the power of perversion. "There is no cause for any sur prise at the late proposition (made to General Jackson) it was a subject of common conver sation at Washington, after the Presidential election. It then ex cited neither surprise nor reply. Considering the state of facts, about which there is no contro very, in relation to the last Presi dential election, the known dispo sition ot tne incumbents and their you, face to face, that I could be- jlievoin the reality of an intention so inconsistent with your previous conversations, so repugnant to your printed pledges, so amazing to your constituents, so fatal to vourself. The vote which vou intend thus! to give, is not your own. It be longs to the people of the state of Missouri. J hey are against Mr. Adams. I, in their name, do sol emnly protest against your inten tions, and deny your moral power thus to bestow their vote. You have been pleased to make a reference in one of your conver sations to my personal wishes in the election. I now reiterate that I disdain and repel the appeal; and again remit you to the exalted tribunal of honor and duty. For nine years, we have been closely connected in our political course: at length the connexion is dissolved, and dissolved under circumstances which denounce our everlasting separation. For some expressions which you felt as unkind, in our conver sation on Sunday, I ask your par don and oblivion. I had n rio-l.t Law.
