ii: hi Nautical. Literary Curiosity. -The following production, in our estimation, is entitled 'to a conspicuous station among the innu merable signs and wonders to which the present Presidential contest has giv en a brief existence. A short time since the Editor of the Washington City Jour nal received a small 'pamphlet, issued .by the Jackson Committee at Nashville; on the title page of which was written: "To the Editor of the Washington Jour nal," and on the back of the title page the following words, which are given as a literal copy: "When the midnight assassins plunges his dagger to the heart & riffles your goods, the turpitude of this scene looses all its horrors when compared with the act of the secrete assassins potnard le velled against femal charecter by the hired minions of power." This note had neither date nor signa ture, but in consequence of the pamphlet having been printed in the vicinity of Gen. Jackson's residence, and the wri ting bearing some resemblance to his, the Editor of the Journal publicly ascri- perspicuity and precision, 'but isj strictly and almost tastiuiousiy ac curate in its 'orthography." The Editor disclaims the idea of ad vancing a cause "by detraction and calumny" a caution which is especialfy recommended to Messrs. Binns and Agg, the pro pagators of the Harris forgery and the fabricated note. Enq. "Come gentle, come simple, come foolish, come witty." To judge from the following paragraph in the last Salis bury Carolinian, the friends of the Ad ministration in the western part of this State, must be somewhat at a loss for terms sufficiently moving, to induce the people to assemble to express a prefer ence for "the powers that be:" "A meeting of the friends of Mr. Adams is to be held at the A cademy in Lincolnton, on Tues day evening of Lincoln April Court. The caption to the no tice calling this meeting, is cou ched in the following tolerant, meek, christian-likc language: bed it to him. Some of the friends of! peace in our happy country, and the General called on the Editor, and 'are opposed to war, bloodshed, after examining the manuscript, decla- speculation, and oppression of the red that -they did not believe the man-! r, n are requested to attend," uscript was the hand-writing of General v -rJ i ,i Jackson,- and one of them added, he&c- OW"'e ?s.k tIl0.SC suPPrl thought he could conveniently And a 1 crs of the Administration who de dozen persons,, at least, who could imi- nounce the friends of Gen.

The Editor asked bc ol,nd .In any thmS that has him, "if he cou Id swear it was not writ-been published by a Jackson pa ten by Gen. Jackson;" he observed, "it per ill this part ot the State. was unnecessary to answer that ques- tion." A proposition was then made to AI Those persons in Lincoln coun ty who wish the continuation of election. That gentleman is one assorts that Mr. Crawford has written a letter to Mr. Clay, and another to Mr. Holmes, in Which he approves of Mr. Clay's vote for Mr. Adams. The statement that Mr. Crawford, had written such a letter to Mr..Clay was pub lished hero under the superinten dence of Mr. Clay, and is yet' un contradicted by him or his au thority. A party who would attempt to impose the names of Messrs. Ma dison and Monroe upon the pub lic, as an expedient to operate up on the election in New-Hampshire, has falsely charged that Mr. Crawford had rent his influence to sustain their cause for the same purpose. We have now before us a letter written to a gentleman of the first standing in society, who has been for years an intimate and confidential friend of Mr. Craw ford, and who, upon hearing what was said of Mr. Crawford's letter to Mr. Clay, wrote to him upon the subject of the Presidential a treaty with Sweden, Mr u ams instructed our negotiato cause an alteration to be mad!'0 the heading or preamble, :!f always ran thus: "In the nam : the holy and undivided Trinii It is difficult to believe that M A e rt irtn Cf ICS -vrll- i -r, 1 auuuio jo iuiijr au WUUK clS tod sire the abolition of an of Gen.

He has po litely permitted us to copy from the letter of Mr. Crawford, which is dated Gth inst. the following Mr. Crawford says: "You do -me justice in suppos ing I am with you in the struggle now making in relation to the Presidential election. Though I am informed, by letters from Washington, that I have written a letter to Mr. Clay, approving of Mr. Adams' Administration: but I am confident his name is mention- compare the ivriting with some letters, ' papers, we published an extract of a let which was also declined.

States; subsequently he was elected Representative to Con gress from Tennessee, has been twice her Senator in Congress, her Attorney General, and Jude of her Supreme Court he was the friend and correspon dent of President Monroe, and was ap pointed by him Governor of Florida. As it is not even insinuated that the Ge neral is in his dotage, we presume that the mere enumeration of the civil offices, which he has filled to the satisfaction of the Government and of his fellow-citizens, must convince every person, who has not been "sold by his prejudice and his ignorance," (as President Adams would say,) that Gen. Jackson could not have been the author of the above piti ful effusion. The following testimony of one of the General's political opponents, however, jjiust remove all doubts: The Middlesex (Conn.) Ga zette, an Administration print, a pologises for the re-publication (from the Washington National Journal) of "the Note, abounding with orthographical and syntacti cal errors," lately attributed to the pen of Gen. Jackson. The Edi tor of the Gazette is now satisfied that the said note "is a fabrica tion" he says that he has recent ly seen a letter under the Gene ral's own hand, dated before he was thought of for the Presiden cy, which is not only written with rumor it is asserted in theKenne bunk (Maine) Gazette, that Mr. Craw ford has written a letter to a friend in that State, in which he uses the following language: "I was decidedly in favor of Mr. Ad ams in prelerence to Jackson, and never blamed Mr. Clay for his vote, because I should have voted with him, had I had a vote on that occasion." A slight perusal of this paragraph would generally leave the impression, that Mr. Crawford new preferred Mr. Adams over Gen. Jackson, thereby con tradicting the other statement but, on examination it will be seen, that altho it is stated Mr. Crawford "was decided ly in favor of Mr. Adams in preference to Jackson, " it does not appear that he is so now. There arc thousands of per sons who at the last election preferred Mr. A. to Gen. J. and did not then "blame Mr. Clay for his vote," who havo since been irresistibly compelled to change their opinion subsequent events and disclosures have cast a shade of suspicion over that election which we arc fearful neither talents nor time can efiace. In reference to the above, the Wash ington City Telegraph observes: "We have seen two statement, one germinated in the Democratic Press, the other attributed to M r. John Holme?, of Maim. which Storrs Have they, for political effect, circulated a falsehood in re lation to Mr. Crawford! We re peat, that the gentleman, to whom Mr. Crawford has written the let ter now before us, is highly re spectable, and has authorised us to refer Mr. Storrs or any other person to him, when he will per sonally confirm what we have here stated. Mr. stdams. But few of ''our readers, perhaps, are aware that President Adams is a rigid professor of the Unitarian doc trine. As an individual, he undoubtedly is equally entitled with others to his private opinion in religious matters; but, in his intercourse with foreign nations, as Presi dent of the United States, the people have certainly a right to object to his convey ing the impression that the Unitarian is our National Creed. The following pointed re buke, from the New-York Enquirer, will bc read with interest: Singular Charge. Governor Giles, of Virginia, is at present oc cupied in writing a scrj,.s c T jjoli tical letters, exhibiting in a plain matter of fnct1niatmer,the incom petency of the present Adminis tration, and the dangerous powers attempted to be assumed by the National Government. In one of lii.s lain number he states, that a minor prevails, that in negotiating form, a mere ceremony 0f tjje nuuuiuy ui a uuuiy, nothings in fact than the commencementof an ordinary will, "In the name of God, amen." And yet, we should noi lorgei, uiai in assigning rea sons for the policy of the Pan ama mission, he most unwisely stated that it was "to liberalise the 8oui American Catholic on the scorr of religion" It was a most silly ac;, a most unwarrantable, aEj unhandsome, and uncalled for dc claration against a friendly power, Having thus palpably departed from the line of policy and dut? in this instance, it is fair. to infer that he committed a similaram pas in the other; and in striking out the "most holy and undivided Trinity," he must have imagined transactions with the Unitarian Church, instead of diplomatic in tercourse with a foreign power, No man in office, particularly in a republic, should seek to en graft his religious opinions upon his public duties. The Catholics of South America will be no mora pleased with the President's insi nuation, that they are illiberal, than the citizens of this country will be gratified to Icarn, that their President took umbrage at tie "Holy and undivided Treaty" at the head of the Swedish treaty. 3Carfc0rott(jI), FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1828. gyWe are requested to announce aiwrilEiN JbjtlKK, as a cana:aaiew represent the r.ountv of Halifax in l!e House of Commons of the next Genera!
