'msÆUiïiwwstsi Tuesday., 3u\y 18&8. To the CHAIRMAN of the Jackson Meeting. I perceive that my name has been placed on a Jackson Committee, in this County, by a meeting which I did not attend. It is true that I have been favourable to the pretensions of Gen. Jacksun to the Pre-klency : but, from the.character which some of his friends have recently given to the contest, 1 am no longer willing to be numbered among them. Everyman of sensible feelings, who will examine the two last numbers of the Delaware Gazette, will appreciate my motives for renouncing any inn wirh the men who could be guilty of such base outrages on my feelings and those of my friends. You will, theielbre, have my name erased from the list of Jackson committee men, as it can no longer tie numbered with such a party. a connex GEORGE T. FISHER. Kent County, July 24, 1828. THE UNION. £ 5 - It now appears that several of the Jackson leaders, such as Rowan of Kentu:ky, Speaker Stevenson of Virginia, and others, have given it as their opinion that the Union would be dissolved, it Mr. Adams is re-relected. We are left to conjecture in what manner this is to be done ; but by what;j«r Vj this business is to be attempted, there can be no possible doubt, of the project, acts of the Southern Jackson States may cm respond with their words ami resolutions : but we have too much confidence in thousands and tens of thousands of men on the Jackson side,to believe that they would tolerate, for a moment, any such proceeding, deed, the development of the General's character, and that of many of his supporters, as well as the personal objects so plainly visible among his prumi own State and throughout Every man understands that part The attempt may be made, and the In nent supporters, in our the Union, have lessened, are lessening, and will lessen, monfcfapidly, the ranks of the opposition. DESPA RATION. The National Advocate of New Y'ork, states it that the leading Jacksonians are now of as a fact fering bets that it Kentucky goes for the Adminis tration, the electoral law ol New York will be re *:ealed, and the power of the people transferred to the Legislature. Since the last Presidential election, the people of New York expressed their desire by a law to vote ■in districts for President and Vice-president. But it does not suit every body that this law should be carried into operation, just at this time. The Le gislature meet in /August, to revise the laws, and it appears that it is in contemplation to revise the elec toral law. All the members of the Legislature not having been chosen according to the new divison of I parties, there happens to be a majority in favour of Whether they will have the hardihood* to change the law in question, we have some doubts. The effect of such an act would be ruinous to the popularity of souio of the leading men in New York, favourable to such apruject, and it is yet to be seen whether, if' all the votes of New York were to tie given to Jackson in this manner, other States, now o! a doubtful character—such as Pennsylvania —would not settle the question in favour of Mr. Adams. Whatever may be done, the mere sugges tion ot such a project will satisfy the reader that the prospects of the " hero of two wars" are very different from those so frequently presented to the public by many of his advocates. NEW JACKSON TACTICS. Such are the developments of Andrew Jackson's character, and such the effects of them upon the community, that the Hickory men in Pennsylvania nave got up a tale that the General's mother was a prostitute, and his father a mulatto ; designing, by such a tale, to make people believe that other state ments, founded in truth, are unworthy of notice ! Hut it wont do. It may have a partial, but no gen eral effect. On this subject, the Harrisburg Argus !l) wliicli we notice this tale, of the enemy, remarks: The friends of the Administration do not charge |;en. Jackson with being the son of a mulatto I hey do not care who was his father. It is Gen. j Andrew Jackson, and General Andrew Jackson I alone, with whom they have to do. They are direct v opposed in principle to esteem or blaine any man I jj|' account of his father's virtues or his crimes. I though they do not accuse him of being a descen I ai 't ot blacks, they do say, and hold themselves I prepared to prove, to any candid man, that he was I s l f ra fficker in blacks —that he was concerned in [Aunts conspiracy —that he illegally and tyrannical I (y taxed the people of Florida —that he was an im Moral, cruel, quarrelsome man. Dn these facts the '"ends of the administration are willing to meet the Jwksonites. They are charges that they make and cun support. t h do Several Communications and other articles, j are unavoidably omitted. PENNSYLVANIA. The Pennsylvania Intelligence, of July 22, says, Our " This State will vote for the Administration. information leaves us no doubt on the subject." The Harrisburg Argus, of July 28, has this lau guage— PENNSYLVANIA IS NOW DECIDED VOIl 7 he Present Administration. 1. The major part ot the old Democratic Re publicans have determined to vote for the present executive and a Pennsylvania vice-president. 2. A great majority of the Ger man population of the state, and the whole of the numerous and in fluential society of Menonists have determined to do so. 3. A great majority of the farmers, and others of the industrious and labouring class of citizens will do so. The religious and moral class of the com munity, of all sects, will do so. They will give preference to a man of religious and moral life, to a man who has set all religion and morality at de fiance. Since the 4th of July we have considered the im portant political question as settled in our state, and that Pennsylvania will sustain the present Adminis trât ion. 4. From the N. Y. American. UTICA CONVENTION. To the Editor of the New- York American. "Utica, July 23d, 1828. Dear Sir?—We have unanimously nomina'ed Smith Thompson for Governor. Ninetv-nine mem bers attended the Convention. The Reports are of the best character from the different Counties, and the greatest confidence is expressed in the trium phant success of so strong a nomination." Well have this body justified the expectations of their friends, the hopes of the State, the apprehen sions of their, and its, opponents. Smith Thomp son is named as candidate for Governor, and Francis Granger, as candidate for Lieutenant Governor; and the mention of these names, is the sure earnest and presage of success. The Convention, to the number of 99 members, assembled on Wednesday the day appointed. The revolutionary veteran, Major Fairlie, of this city, was called to preside, anti Mr. Clowes, of Troy, ami Mr.-, were appointed Secretaries. With en tire unanimity—without a dissentient voice—the names we have mentioned were adopted, by ballot. From the National Intelligencer. KENTUCKY. Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first res pectability. dated Kentucky , July 12th. "The canvass for our August election goes on with agouti deal of spirit, particularly by the friends of the Administration. If the vote of Kentucky will elect Mr. Adams, his re-election may be consid ered as certain. I no longer doubt of his getting the electoral vote of this Smte. General Metcalfe will be electeti by a large majority over Mr. Barry, the Jackson candidate." NEW ORLEANS. The following note was endorsed on the New Or leans Post Bill, of July 4, for the office of this city, received yesterday. The newspapers of the third were silent on the subject. "The Postmaster and every one of his assist ants are sick with a raging fever, called Spanish Fe ver. Half of the citizens in town are laid up with the same sickness ; it is considered the greatest epi demic ever experienced in Louisiana. 1 From the National Journal. A few days since, we stated, on the authority of the Richmond Whig, that Mr. Andrew Stevenson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, had with in a few weeks, asserted, "that if Mr. Adams was re-elected, the Union would be dissolved On the same authority, we stated that a Judge of the General Court of Virginia had made the decla ration, at Norfolk, that "if Mr. Adams was not put out by the voice of the People, they would be willing to put him out by force'" Both these statements were instantly denied by the Richmond Enquirer—"We have not the slight est belief that Andrew Stevenson ever made any such declaration"—"without pretending to know what other members of Congress bave disclosed to their friends, we can only undertake to answer for The Rich ■ I -* ourselves and for Andrew Stevenson. mond Enquirer, therefore, has answered for Andrew Stevenson, that he did not make the assertion attri buted tOjhim. The denial has put the Editor of the (Richmoad Whig on his chivalry ; and he accordingly furnishes the following certificate and remark : "At the request of Mr. John H. Pleasants, I hereby certify, that some time in the month of June, as well as I recollect, Mr. Andrew Stevenson, in a conversation in my hearing, in the Bank of Virginia, observed, that, in his opinion, il General Jackson was not elected President, or it John Quincy Ad ams was re-elected, the Union would be dissolved. SAMUEL J. BLAIR. a by ! in the the 22d July, 1828." " Mr. Blair's word wants no strengthening ; but if Mr. Ritchie shall be of a different opinion, we will corroborate his statement by the certificates of other gentlemen who heard the conversation, but who are unwilling, without necessity, to appear in the public prints. Su much for the assertion of Mr. Andrew Ste venson, and the denial of it by the Richmond En quirer. With respect to the Judge of Virginia, and his declaration, the remark of the Richmond Enquirer is simply this : "If this Judge of the General Court be the one to whom we suspect the allusion is made, we under take to say, that no voucher could be had of the na ture of the bills."

V\ e do not give his name for reasons apparent on the laceof the letter—but the letter it sel I is at this ol tice, and free to the inspection of any citizen. Norfolk , April 4th, 1828. To the Editors of the Constitutional W hig. Gentlemen : Although not personally known to either of you, I think 1 may, without an apulngy, take the liberty of informing you ot a circumstance with which my recollection was refreshed on read ing the article in your last paper respecting Chief Justice Marshall. The circumstance was as fol lows :— Richard E. Parker, Judge of the Superior Court for this and the adjoining counties, observed, in a public company not long since, that "if John Q. Ad ams could not be got out of fite Presidency by lair means, he ought to be by foul, and if it come to the latter by G —he would be one of the first to help to put him out. Wm. R. Lamb the President of the Branch Bank of Virginia of this place, heard the observation above quoted, or in substance the same, who communica ted them to the Rev. Richard L. Green, who on the same day related them to me. perhaps to observe, that Mr. Lamb and Mr. Green are as respectable as any men which we have in our country. You may do as you think proper with the infor mation, exeept making it public in your paper as from me I have given you the names—the infor mation is correct—and you may first write to Mr. Lamb, or publish the matter and let Judge P. relute it if he can. 1 am not a Beverly to wish to be brought forward on the great poli ical arena, but think such observations from a judge, who ought to be the con servator of peace, ought to be known. Yet, in the face of these attested assertions of leading men of their own party, that the Union will he dissolved if Mr. Adams be re-elected 8tc. the Richmond Enquirer charges the administration with producing the present outcry against the Union, for political effect. We regret to see the dilemma into which the editors of the Enquirer have brought themselves, by their tergiversations, misstatements, and misconstructions. Her!
