GEN. JACKBON AND HIS CALUMNIATORS.
TO THE EUlTOItS OK THE VIKUINIA ADVOCATE
Gentlemen,—t am a plain man—never med
dling with politics nor great men, ttor giving rnysel!
much concern about public matters; Ijnn con
tent to cultivate my little farm atid live in retire
ment [ take no newspapers myself, for I never
thought they were worth what they soil for; but
I have a son who is fond of reading the news, and
says he is a" mighty" friend of Mr. Adams and
Henry Clay ; that we ought to elect them to serve
us another four years ; and that, as to Uhl
Hickory, as he calls Jackson, he is not fit for any
thing but to butcher the Indians. This son of
mine always sends to me his newspapers when he
is done reading them himself. He takes the
Journal and Whig, and so these I rerfd sometimes
to pass away an idle hour I have never lead any
other papc"s but these. From my different pe
rusals, at different times, I see many people say
that General Jackson is a murderer, traitor, negro
trader, tyrant, outlaw and mulatto. I have heard
that you publish a paper and deny all these things
—say that Jackson is a “ mighty” clever fellow,
and that the majority of the people think so too’
and that there is no doubt they will make him’
their next president. Is it possible you think so »
What! make a murderer, traitor, negro trader,
tyrant, outlaw and mulatto, a president ? Now’
it it be a fact that the people are going to make
Jackson president, and should actually make him
the president, what will they think of those men,
who say he is a murderer, traitor, &.c &,c. ! If
they believe all these things, they certainly will
not make him president. If they do make him
president, then, it will be fair to suppose that a
majority of the people think all these things flat
lies and base slanders. Then, by how many peo
ple will the authors of those lies he considered
liars—can you tell me? Enough, one would sup
pose, to fix that character'On them forever. It is
"right suspicious,11 if two, three or a half dozen
men say a man is a liar; but if a majority of the
people of the United States say he is so, he must
be so, indeed. I think these fellows, therefore,
had better have a care how they talk and say
things that the people will say are lies.

LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Loudon papers to the *2lst and Liverpool to the 22d July,
have been received atNew-York, by an arrival from Bel
fast.
(jreat-Britain. Tl.c London Morning Her
ald of July ID, says—“Two very important de
bates took place last night in the House of
Commons—namely, the one on the Silk Trade,
and the one on the American Tariff.
I he debate on the American Tariff will l»e
read with a great deni'of interest both in this
country and in the United States. The views
taken of this measure by the different speakers
seem, for the most part correct. They perfectly
coincide with tlie opinions which we have, from
time to time, put forth on the subject. We more
particularly refer to the speeches of Mr. Hnskis
son and the Secretary for the Home Department.
The former gentleman observed that “ from the
information ol the best informed men in the coun
try, it appears that the proceedings on the part of
the United States were injurious and erroneous.
But this was a subject for their consideration—
and it was not for the people of this country and
the House to enter into the motives and leebng
which actuated other states in following the course
which may promote their own interests. No oth
er country had a right to complain: ami for his
part, he made no complaint; and it was not on
the ground of interference that the remonstrance
had been made to the United States by a Iree coun
try, but in furtherance of that very principle which
should be inbeicnt in all free states. This coun
try was equally at liberty to consult its own inter
ests, and look to the circumstances of the country,
in order to counteract the policy of the United
States. He was not one of those who would like
to enter into the war of prohibition. The limits
to the necessity of proceeding in such a course,
ought to he in counteracting the measures adopted
by other States in reference toany particular branch
of our manufactures, ft was quite impossible, on
some occasions, for any country, placed in such a
situation, to be so blind to the principle of right and
what is most desirable to follow, asto deprive itscll
of the means given it, in return, of counteracting,
by a similar policy, those means which have, been
adopter! by other States, by putting a similiar prohi
bition and restriction on articles- imported from
these countries. If this country did not retain this
power, it would place itself ill a situation of giving
up all pretension to equality for there can be no
equality between countries so circumstanced. Ci
ther countries, dealing with this on more just prin
ciples, will have a right to complain, if the acts and
4
e pretensions of the Unite# States bo overlooked
iu this mstanee. Ill another part of his able speech
Mr. Huskissonobserved that, “in 1815, the first
i*VK aUe" ‘hepeace, and when this country
was bare of the raw material in consequence of
the war, the quantity of American cotton import
ed was 00,000,090 lbs.; in I81G, it was4<> OOOUOO
i. ISIS.
wm mSi"n# 3 rnrS 1 ha<l i,,6rcas«l «*> U>4,
000,000 lbs. from the United States alone. (Hear,
Aftc|: lV9 8,atcmcnt, he wouid ask any
gentleman whether, if the United Slates had adopt
ed, in 1814, a 1 anlT like the present one, and, by
shutting out our manufactures, prevented our im
portmg the ra\v material, tins great intrease in the
consumption of American cotton would have taken
place . Why, it was tlirec pans of the whole quan
tity imported into this country at the time. Gen
tlemen must see that one country could not con
tinue to trade with another, if that other persisted
in not meeting it upon fair and reciprocal terms.
(Hear.) Let America, then take care; for, if these
measures were enforced, the day would assuredly
come when instead ol being nurtured, as she now
t.,»,>v the enterprise, ability, activity of commerce,
and industry of this country, and ol her trade nour
ishing under such auspices, that trade would he
as crippled as our intercourse with France. Of
the whole trade that America carries on with the
world, one half is transacted with this country;
lull that intercourse which, as to her, is one half
ot the whole, is with iih only a sixth part. He
would ask, then, which was most likely to be a loser
by the experiment which the United States were
making, they, who risked one half of their all, or
vve, who have only one sixth placed in jeopardy by
the result.” 33
Mr Huskisson appears to think that the Tariff
has been established under the idea that we had not
the ability to counteract it. Mr. II. however shows
that, without going to war, we have the ability to
do this—-namely, by encouraging the growth of
cotton in the East Inaies, and in other countries.
Rut, in fact, as we a hundred limes observed, and
as the Might Honorable Gentleman aliowcd, the
measure will counteract itself; for it is> impossible
( to say nothing of smuggling) that we can take
the American raw materials, if they will not take
our manufactured goods. All trade resolves itself
at last into barter. Mi. Huskisson, though he pro
fesses to think highlyofthe greatness oft he Amer
ican character, observed tlmt he thought the
language of admiration used by this country, had
a had effect upon the American* •* and they pre
sumed on weakness on the part of this coun
try : for, owing to a fault in their nationrl charac
ter they are easily misled, prone to self-confidence
and self adulation ” Mr. Peel coincided with
taese views of Mr.,lIu>ki.sson, and stated that,4* if
the American Government persisted in its present
course, it might he a matter of future considera
tion whether or not it should he expedient to lay
open the commerce of India with this country, and
exclude the productions of the .southern Stales of
America, where similar productions were raised,
lie would not say but such a course might be judi
cious, it the American Government persisted in
its present contse lie said so in no tone of irri
tation, hut from a sincere wish for the welfare of
both countries as lie was convinced that the carry
ing into effect this Tariff would lead to a rate of
suffering in the United States which would be
trally ami severely felt.”
The London Times says, “ Wc have heard
from an authority that never yet misled us, some
hints as to the probable course that in to lie taken
will; the Catholic Question ..and as they have not
vet appeared in any print that we have seen, we
may as well give the substance of them : — 1. There

A REMINISCENCE OF LORI) BYRON.
[From tin; IVnnuylvanian.l
I knew I.orJ Byron personally in London
shortly after the fi-st Cantos of his Cliilde Harold’
had appeared. He was then enjoying a reputa
tion winch the extravagance of his genius soon
shadowed. Ilis trio. •*. , over the Scotch Review
ers had been confessedly complete, and it was
known that their chief had, with a magnanimity
not common among literary men, "sent in his
adhesion. ( he sweetness and spirit of his poet
ry charmed the public taste, while as yet he was
innocent of those licentious effusions which sub
sequently alarmed virtue and aroused a just hos
tility. 1 hough free and uncontrollable in his
manners, youth and nobility pleaded in his behalf,
and his delighted countrymen readily pardoned
many f.eaks of moral and intellectual eccentrici
ty. He was undoubtedly the " lion” of the day
eajerly sought after by all, attracting evetv evc
•and generally spoken of with pride and adtnira
lion.
Not long before T saw him, he had made his
first appearance in the House of Lords: and I
well recollect hearing, in his presence, from one
oi his friends, an account of the manner in which
lie assumed the station among British Peers, to
which his birth entitled him. One of his distant
connexions, a zealous and uncompromising n in
isterialist, knowing the peculiar bent of his mind
in politics, had accompanied him to the door,
anxiously exhorting him so to signalize the com
mencement of liis career, as to give his cobntry an
assurance that his splendid talents would lie'de
voted to her legislation and interests. He walked
in, apparently much agitated, as if doubting the
reception lie was to meet, and yet scorning to
slnink from it. The house was thinly attended,
and when he reached the middle of the floor, the
loid chancellor approached with much seeming
cordiality, and with his extended hand, to web
come him. Lord Byron paused for an instant ;
then coldly reached out his straight fingers, and
without deigning to reciprocate by word or look
the style of liis greeting, passed on and took bis
sear. When afterwards reproached by bis friend
for bis conduct to " the venerable Eicon,” lie re
plied that ho could not honestly act otherwise, as
lie perceived by the old fox’s countenance, that
he wished to ascertain t!ie probable course of the
new-comer: "Had I squeezed his hand and
smiled, he would have s»»t me down as one of their
supporters: As it is, he knows exactly what I
am, and what I intend to remain.’*
IJunng »ht: visit at which I was introduced to
him, hi< manner struck me as somewhat confused
and diffident. His conversation was rapid, and
extremely desultory ; like an cflbrt to conceal or
surmount a conscious embarrassment. He ab
ruptly asked if I had ever been at the Falls of
Niagara, and hearing a calm negative, seemed to
think that I had confessed an unpardonable sin
of omission. He then adverted to the last night’s
exhibition in the house of commons, oncc-nr twice
calling it, by intentional accident, congress, and
eulogised sir .Fames Mackintosh and his speech
with great warmth and emphasis. Again, he
would recur to the United States, to George]
Washington, whose usual title ot General he
guardedly and affectedly omitted, and to the dis
tinctions of political party here. His compliments
upon America, its institutions, and its distinguish
ed men, were frequent, and uttered with sincerity.
While his lordship rattled on, although much
pleased to listen, I Ind an opportunity closely to
scan his personal appearance. It is as fresh in
my mind's eve, as it I had seen him yesterday.
A more beautiful countenance never was placed
on a mail’s shoulders. It was, perhaps, too deli
cate in all its features, except the forehead and
the eye : the nose, the mouth, the ckeeks, and
the chin were feminine, though highly expressive.
1 have seen but one [mrtrait of him which I es
teemed a good likeness: it was painted, I think,
by an artist of the name of Phillips, in a soil ot
oriental costume : the run of engraved busts hear
not the shallow of a resemblance. There is some
thing—a good deal—in the common casts of plas
ter of paris, hawked about our streets, which, in
I certain positions, recalls him forcibly. As to his
; figure, I cannot pretend to describe it, for he
scarcely had any. He was emaciated to a degree
| which it is difficult to imagine without associating
the idea of long sickness. ITis drers, the pink
of foppery, hung shapeless about him. In height,
I should suppose him to have been about five feet
eight inches.
At this interview an incident occurred which
may illustrate the peculiar position of Lord By
; ron then in London. While he was speaking,
. we heard a gentle tapping at the door, which he,
i at first, would not notice ; on its being repeated
| he Irctfiilly turned round, and as if disappointed
Ithat his hint was not taken,, said, *' come in,’
hastily. A slight figure, dressed in boy’s clothing
with much of ths fantastic about it, walked haati
with™,? "a 'Vr,,m* ?e’k- d<-|>o»i<«l a holt1 am]
without saying a word, immediately dijapn,’Hre.l
He took up the note smiling, a„d h.S i?fo

ol,^« kindest intimacy, observed, with an

. Was not proof a«ainsl *kis species of
ttery, and it may reasonably be considered as
having encouraged. ,f it did not create, theVen
oijso morals in which he afterwards indulged.
1 here stood upon his desk a large China cun
or lea and one of those celebrated bowls, formed
from the human skulls, he had disinterred at New
S Cad Al,bey He professed to live almost solely
upon tea and toast; to be indifferent when be re
ired to sleep, whether it was day or night; end
to dream with extraordinary vividness. He thought
tea much more exalting to the imagination than
uino ; and declared that one of his finest rhapso
dies had been written down, word for word after
scing composed during a dream under the excite
ment ol that beverage. Hi3 bowl was lined with
silver, with a broad edge of the same metal, and
so much rimmed, that, although it was impossible
to mistake the bony character of the main portion
lie could easily lift it without exposing his •« aris
tocra’.ical band” to any contaminating contact.
".... Ujwuu rcsiucu in tnc neighborhood
though not in the same street, with his bookseller’
Murray. My lodgings were, as Philadelphians
calculate, about four squares off He was so
much the object of courtship and curiosity, that
rarely louud it necessary to “ return a visit.”
1 o the greater proportion of bis acquaintances,
ms rank was a justification for what else would’
have seemed incivility. Although myself disposed
to pay every homage to his great genius, certain
democratic scruples now and then arose to pro
rent a relaxation of the known forms of social
courtesy. After the call to which I have refer
red, I abstained scrupulously, though eaten no
with anxiety to see and hear more of him. At
the end of about a fortnight, I found that duiinn
my absence he had enquiied for me at my own
odgmgs, and had left several copies, “ the com
laments of the authorof his last two poems.—
I Ins sort of propitiation was explained to rue on
lie following morning. The friend by whom I
lad been introduced, having repeated bis visits
inveral times, was, at last, asked by Lord Byron
‘ W|'Y that republican bad not been to see him a
jam ?” He replied instantly, that in usimr the
void republican, his lordship had ausweied his
>wn question. “ I beg pardon,” was bis oxclama
;on, “ the fault shall be atoned for without de
ay : I had forgotten that to him I was only a
jentleman.” J
When he afterwards adverted to the poems he
lad recently published, and wanted to know how
hey would he liked in America, a short eonver
iation ensued, which seemed to wind him up into
t fit «il extravagant enthusiasm. I rernemlier tell
ug him that, in my opinion, his permanent fame
vould depend more upon the United States than
ipon Great Britain : that he had more admirers in
he f. » nor than in the latter, lor that the e were
ive readers on this side of the watei to one on his.
This is capital, said he ; it is anticipatin''' the
udgments of posterity ; for the people of Amcri
;a judge without bias; they know me only as a
>oet, with an utter ignorance or disregard of my
ordship.” He then mentioned a project which
ic had once formed, and had not yet entirely
ibandoned. pf crossing the Atlantic, and added,
* the truth is, I am naturally, and by taste, a re
publican ; socially, and by birth, an aristocrat.
I shall not wonder at finding myself one of these
hiys, citizen Byron, chasing a Buffalo over one
af your western prairies. How I should like to
stand for an hour at the foot of the Falls of Niag
I have never made up my mind as to the char
acter o! Lord Byron. Good and evil were, ac
cording to my own actual observation, so mingled
m his composition, that in reviewing them, it "was
impossible to say which had the advantage. At
one moment his high and bright virtues would
shine out dazzlingly, extorting unqualified pane
gyric ; at another, In; seemed to fondle with vice
as it he loved it as a parent lores his offspring_
Had he come to America, lie would have been
saved from the corrupt associations by which he
was dragged impetuously downward ; or, had he
lived long enough to lie satiated with the vanities
r>fthis file, his cfTulgent mind must hare ultimately
dissipated all the vapours of sensuality, and found
its way to true glory. His last hours in Greece
are said to have indicated this rising of the moral
Sun upon the clouded heights of his intelligence
and feeling. TROS.
