During the last Presidential canvas 1 preferred Mr. ( Jay to all others, and he received more than two votes to one over Gen. Jackson at the precinct, in view of my bouse. Mr. Crawford was my second choice, aod 1 have often asked myself the ques tion, why I should be particularly opposed to Mr Ad aim. since Ike ,ear 1807 or 1808? 1 candidly confess, that I novor could lender any good reason, unless be cause bis name was Jldams.

Their iole reliance then, appeal to ho on tno testimony of ,7. Whitesides. Evy and the tears of Mrs. Erwin. I approach tho examination of Mr. \\ hitesidcs’ kstimnny witli reluctance, because he is dead; but justice to others and to truth lequires it. And Imre let me a^k if any and every man does not place himself in a suspicious attitude, who has been one-third interested m n claim valued at three or four liitndrcd thousand dollars, nod who relinquishes that interest in order to become a witness? It is stated in the defence, that •• Whitesides afterwards released all “Ins mteiesl, to James arid Gen. Jackson, and Patrick “Darby was employed to assist m conducting the legal “proceedings, aud io attend lo the taking of deposi “tions.” Poor Mr. Darby is but slightly noticed-, al though at the lime spoken of, he had become the r iUj *"g point of the whole combination; and was moreover a partner. It is also averted, that Col. Erwin knew before Ins purchase from Prior in 1803, that the title derived from the Marshall was absolutely “null and void,”—and vet they admit (ha* ho is a man of sen e._ Patten and Erwin gave Prior £<.’5,000 for his part of I tho land. Let m3 now ask if any man in Ins senses, whether a mao of sense or not, would have given (*25 000 to Prior (who at that tune was insolvent) forY.nd, the title to which he knew was null aud Void? The story will not bear telling, and the case that requires such a supposition, is in a dcsparctc situation indeed. 1 agree that Col. Erwin 19 a man of sense; but previous to Hie years 1C07 and 8, lie had little or nothing to do i with landed business; and Gen. Jackson & Mr. White sides havo the honor of first inducting him into a knowledge of its intricacies. Hciore that time Ins whole attention had been devoted to mercantilo trans actions. Again, Patten ami Erwin wero merchants, who could have commanded almost any amount of mo ney aud credit they pleased; and tbmk you a* a man ol sense. Col. Erwin would have continued so long Tit c**e, i. wQ Lad /wiuw.’i toe l.lls *43 wuco it W4; I ao readily io his power (o have bought up the light ol the Allisons—and thereby (if he had been likc*T.«eti. Jackson) laid olaiin to the ivliuti? Tiie supposition is Consummate folly, and carries a ho m llie fuce of it 51:. \V hiiesideH says, he told Co!. Erwin i:i '.he icf.i 1C07, or the lore part of (ho year 1808.. that the‘title ■ w-is null aud void, — and yet this gentleman owned j -.,600 acres of land uuder the same title and i:cvei i communicated t!io information to Gen. Jackson ui.til ; t.iu jeai 1800 no: did he make anv elforl in t.'t ter own claim. Is tiiis luason.ibk? rite Gcneial’j apol rogists further say, that ‘‘after die ru.wjr of i(.> iara!:di | *‘|y first reached his cars, tin sooner in fact did it reach | “him, than lie hastened to Juugo Campbell fur his | “opinion. i iiat opinion was unfavomable," and ll en l odd, “(ho opinion or Judge Campbell having been | “quickly couurmi'd hy Jeokm Whitesides Esq. the | “situation of Gen.
