S4m, r of the 5th inst. signed by George Mason
i “f Messed to me. I propose to shew, by

testifl°Dy^hose character stands unimpeached
cluxens,. chabie,—1st: That the letter is un
aU<i U°d false in stating the meeting to be of the

°0t 1 Citizens! the following certificate is
uaien Gentleman known to you all as a Justice
!°h Peace of your county; and, as a man, his
-reputation requires at my hands no eulogy:
From Mr. Moss.
,k««bv certify, that, some time previous to
held at Samuel Catts> on the 5th
the* nt I met with Dr. Mason, who told me he
‘anxious to have a meeting for the purpose
Mr. Lane to withdraw- from the can
0 «avinff, he thought he had no possible
1?': .p in the election: that I did attend, and
fr the ostensible object as above mentioned:
k t Dr Mason commenced his address to the
luting by saying, 41 We pledge ourselves, gen
7* ‘ to support no man who will not pledge
if to support William C. Rives, in the next
h|!Son for Senator of the United States:” that
nou that occasion Mr. Daniel expressly said,
Tfur one, would not pledge himself to support
Urn C. Hives or any other man: that he has,
’ /r life, contended for principles and mea
' and should continue still to pursue the
(le course. Mr. Daniel gave no pledges to
hide bv the decision of the meeting; but, on
refused. I. as the friend of Mr.
Daniel gave no pledges that he would succumb
,(J the decision of this meeting. I saw in this
meeting gentlemen who intended to support
Mr Ball, and consequently could not he the po
litical friends of either of the Republican can
didates. I do further certify, that I advised Mr.
Daniel not to submit to anv such dictation. *
April 15, 1S34. ’ THOS. MOSS.
From Mr. Grigsby.
1 hereby certify that I was at the meeting held
at Samuel Catts’ on the 5th inst; that l never
heard Mr.Daniel consent to abide by the decision
of that meeting—certainly Mr. Daniel did not
pledge himself to it 1 did not vote at that meet
ing, because Mr. Daniel told me he would not
consent to it; nor would he in any way be bound
by it; and had I have voted upon that occasion,
should have voted for Mr. Daniel—believing he
was the onlv one of the party that could be
fleeted. A. S. GRIGSBY.
From Mr. Padgett.
1 hereby certify that I was at the meeting held
at Samuel Catts’ on the 5th inst; that I voted at
that meeting, and never heard Mr. Daniel pledge
himself in any way to abide the decision of the
meeting.—I further certify, that Francis Hem
mersley was at this meeting, and voted for Mr.
Lane, saying he intended to vote Mr. Ball. This
declaration was made both before and after the
meeting. G. PADGETT.
From Mr. Studor.
I hereby certify that l never heard Mr. Daniel
pledge himself to abide the decision of the meet
ing held at Samuel Catts’ on the 5th inst. I vot
sdfor Mr. Lane at that meeting.
VICTOR STUDOR.
From Mr. R. Moss.
I hereby certify that Victor Studor told me
he was at the meeting at Catts’ on the 5th inst.;
at that meeting he voted for Mr. Lane; that he
had voted for Mr. Ball heretofore, and should
«till do so at the ensuing election.
ROBERT MOSS.
From Mr. Powell.
I hereby certify that, at a meeting held at Sa
muel Catts’ on the 5th inst.,' Mr. Daniel did
not pledge himself to abide by the deeision
°f Ihat meeting, but said positively he would
not I did not vote on that account, as I consi
dered it useless. The real object of the meet
‘ng. I understood from various sources, was to
Mr. Lane to withdraw.
AUGUSTINE POWELL.
You will thus perceive how far the meeting
Uasofthe political friends of Mr. Lane and my
sen—bow far pledges have been given by me to
a^*cle the decision of this Junto—and the real
Ornate) objectof the meeting—to obtain from
Republican candidates pledges to support
'Viliam C. Rices, and if not him, some other of
^ same political sentiment, for the United
^ates Senate, at the ensuing election.
I might here stop, and submit the question to
*^Ur calm, unbiassed, and unprejudiced minds.
it is necessary and proper that I should say
°mething respecting a set of politicians in our
" ho occupy both sides of the- question.
n in this nest stands very conspicuous a cer
J*|nCol. s. Burke, of no little military distinc
°n in bis regiment—who has the glorious pri
1 e®e °i being, in theory, for the present “ pow
ers that be," yet, in practice, i4n/i-Administra
J‘°n This same Col. B. was a member of the
^mocratic Meeting, and can give its whole his
^or) --its real and its feigned object. He can
^c^aim the part of the Lion and the Jackall of
'^glorious assembly ofPatriots. Unfortunate
0Wever, for this Democratic assembly, its
^airman happens to be, either from instinct or
P Ca 10n> an open mouthed and trumpet tongued
]Q a list—I will not say of the “ Boston stamp?
peS ar^n© fhe Chairman of this meeting with
I trust my Federal friends will not
C1 . 1 sPeak aught in disparagement to their
Co^s e^hcr of patriotism or unbounded love of
^ the Federal ranks we have found
e°ftlle wisest, best, and greatest ofPatriots.
e * can neve** obliterate the remembrance of
^ Was " in war> ^rst in Peace,
prSt *n hearts of his countrymen.” To
^ ^publican friends I w-ould say, be united_
be vigilant—and all will vet be safe.
Let no Palinurus lure you to your utter destruc
j tion. A trump has been already sounded, and
it is now meet and proper that the people should
know their rights—and knowing, dare maintain
' them. Your liberty, your prosperity, your all,
is at stake; and your country expects every
man to do his duty.
Citizens of Fairfax County! Are you to be
dictated to by a Junto of “streaked, striped, and
speckled” politicians? Do you agree with the
Father of Democracy when he proclaims that
| K mankind are not born with saddles on their
backs, to be rode, booted, and spurred, le
1 gitimately, by the grace of God?” And will
you permit the best and dearest privilege of a
freeman to be invaded, without failing in the
1 last entrenchment? And will you not proclaim
to the world that you had rather “ die the last
! of American freemen than live the first of Ame
rican slaves?” If so, then arouse from your le
thargy—buckle on your armor—and go forth in
the great cause of Constitutional Liberty.
Citizens! I have done. To your patriotism—
to your sense of justice—to your love of right
—I appeal; and in the name of that ever
living Justice we are bound to obey, I implore
you to vindicate, by your vindictive verdict,
your insulted rights and privileges.
Your fellow-citizen,
WM. S. DANIEL.
Fairfax County, April 16, 1834.
H3=» A new born white infant was placed at
the front door of a very worthy citizen of this
place, Mr. Thomas Smith, by some person or
persons unknown, on Wednesday night last.—
Those concerned had humanity enough to find
the little foundling a home where they knew it
would be kindly treated. Since “fortune will
buckle favors on his back, whether he will or
not,” Mr. Smith must be content with his good
luck, and fliank the donors for their compliment.
The Washington Correspondent of the New
York Enquirer, noticing the recent debates in
the House of Representatives on the Appro
priation Bill, proceeds thus:
Mr. Adams, who first proposed to strike out
the clause for the additional clerk, gave us to
day a very animated speech, and one bitterly
sarcastic on the promised reform and retrench
ment of the present administration. In the
course of his remarks lie related withfmuch hu
mor an anecdote which is worth preserving.
In the year IS—, this country being about to
go to war with some of the Barbary powers, a
sum was raised for the purpose of carrying on
the war. It was supposed the war would
continue for a short time. The fund was
called the Mediterranean fund; and the act pro
: vided that it should be continued for six months
| after the end of the war, and no longer. The
i war lasted two years—at the end of six months,
! when this fund was to have expired, another
| bill was brought in,—on the plea that although
: peace was, indeed, proclaimed, things were in
a very unsettled state in Barbary. The bill was
again renewed—for two years, and no longer.
That bill expired, and another passed, continu
ing this Mediterranean fund for another two
years, and no longer. Thus it went on.
On the occasion of (I think Mr. A. said) its
fourth renewal, for two years and no longer,
I Mr. A. was a member of the Senate. George
Clinton was then Vice President of the United
| States and presiding in the Senate. He beckon
ed to Mr. A. who went to him. “I wish,” said
he, in a whisper to Mr. A. “ you would move to
strike out those words, 1 and no longer.’” “I
will with pleasure,” said Mr. A. “but what rea
son shall I give.” “ Give what reason you
please,” said Clinton, “ but I cannot bear the
, thought of signing my name to a lie any longer.”
Even so Mr. A. said it would be with this “ tem
porary clerk, for one year” The ex-P. wears
extremely well—looks hearty, is the first to
come into, and last to leave, the House,—and
never misses a day. Many of the Senate were
on the floor during his speech.
Deaf and Dumb.—-In an excellent article on
the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, in the
North American Review, the following instances
are given, that the intellectual faculties of deaf
and "dumb persons, may be cultivated to a great
extent:
“ When Clerc was asked if he loved the Abbe
Sicard, he replied in the following words. ‘ De
prived at birth of the sense of hearing, and by
a necessary consequence, of speech, the deaf
and dumb were condemned to a most melan
choly vegetation; the Abbe de I’Epee and the
Abbe Sicard were born, and these unfortunate
| persons, confided to their regenerating care,
' passed from the class of brutes to that of men:
mn,7 Jinn; miirli I mnct 1 \Tr> tlio A Mm*
J J “ ~ ~ ..... - --
Sicard.”
• Massieu, being once asked the difference be
tween God and nature, replied, 1 God is the first
Framer and Creator of all things. The first
beings all sprang from his divine bosom. He
said to the first, ‘ you shall produce the second;’
his wishes are laws—these laws are nature.’
‘ Eternity,’ he said, ‘ is a day with yesterday
or to-morrow.’
i ‘ Hope is the flower of happiness.’
‘ Gratitude is the memory of the heart.'
| Davy Crockett says what he thinks.-His last in
the House, was on the 9th instant,when he oppos
ed the appointment of another clerk to put papers
to rights that incompetent clerks had put wrong,
; for the State Department; or, rather, when ano
ther thousand dollars of the people’s money was
! proposed to be put into the pocket of some other
; incompetent tool, only to pave the way for some
1 other to come in as little qualified, to get a thou
sand dollars more. On this occasion Col.
’ Crockett said:
“ He wanted to know how it happened that
this difficulty about the papers had never been
found out before—in the old times—in the Pro
digal’s times? There had been a great talk
about the economy of the present administra
tion, and yet, at the very first stroke, they had
created a hundred new clerks—they had re
formed out all the old faithfuLservants of the
Government, some with grey heads, to make
room for partisans, and what they wanted in
quality, they must make up in quantity, and this
they called Jackson reform. In the Prodigal’s
times the expenses of the Government had been
thirteen millions; now they were twenty-two
millions. There was no sense in it. In his part
of the country it would not even be called good
nonsense. He believed they had clerks enough;
he was for making no new ones. The gentle
man from Kentucky, Mr. Hardin, had said a
good deal about their being so fat and sleek, but
to him they looked more like famine. But this
was the consequence of letting one man wield
the destinies of the government. That was not
what our fathers shed their blood for.”
“ Turn Out" at Salmon/alls.—A barn belong
ing to the Salmonfalls Manufactory Co. at So
mersworth, took fire on Thursday last, about 2
o’clock, P. M., and was consumed without do
ing much other damage. A spectator was much
1 pleased at the appearance of the “ turn out” of
the Factory Girls on the occasion. It was Fast
: Day: they were comfortably seated in their
dwellings, arrayed in their Sunday dress—and
when the cry was made, they at once sallied
forth in their silk gowns, and white aprons,
dropped into the ranks, and by their activity in
handing water preserved other valuable prop
erty endangered. This we consider the best,
! most creditable, and praiseworthy “turn out” the
Factory Girls have made the present year.

DIED, '
| At his residence, in Piscataway, (Md.) on
Monday, the 14th instant,—after a painful ill
ness, which he bore with great humility,—Fran
cis Asbury Ward, in the 26th year of his age;
leaving a wife and one child, to whom his loss
in this life is irreparable—also a sister and bro
thers, to whom he was all that brother could be,
and bv whom he was beloved with an affection
which makes this bereavement truly heart-rend
ing. The estimation in which he was held by
his neighbors was fully evinced by the general
grief manifested, without distinction of party,
sect, or condition it* life. It was here that the
Catholic, the Episcopalian, and the Methodist,
—by which last name his Christian profession
was designated.—were seen to unite the sympa
thies of the Christian and neighbor, and to shed,
indiscriminately, the tears of grief, for one so
much respected in life and lamented in death.
But for the man who has no fears of death, and
expresses no wrish to live in opposition to the
will of Heaven, “ We should not sorrow as those
who have no hope; for if we believe that Jesus
flipH flnH rncp a arn in pv’pii cn thpm nlen wliirh
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”
