be fuithcr proved thut, before I lett this state the preceding fall I communicated to several jrent'.eriMMi of t'ne highest respectability, my i xed de.eiunnation not to vote for Ceneral

(inti' ofihe otlue. 1 thought otherwise, af-

rators and their accessaries, and they unaid

shrunk from even an attempt to prove their charge, for the best of all possible reasons lecaue, being false ami fabricated, they could adduce no proof which was not false and f.tbiicated. During two years and a half, which have now intervened, a portion of the press, devoted to the cause of Gen. Jackfon, has heen teeming with the vilest calumnies against me.md the charge, under every came. eon form, habeen a thousand times repeated. l'-p to thh

time, I have in vain incited investigation, and demanded evidence. None, not a particle has been adduced. The extraordinary ground ha been taken, that the accusers were not hound to establish by proof the guilt of their designated victim. In a civilied, christian and fite community, the monstrous principle has been as-nmed.tbat accusation and conviction are syucnv mors; nnd

hhat the persons who dehbeiatelv I ri i ir for

ward an atrocious charge, are exempted f: m all obligation to substantiate it! And the pre

text is. that the crime, being of a political nature, is shrouded in darkness and inraj ;J le .f being substantiated. Hut is there any ic-a! difference, in this respect, between poiitic.il ;.nd other offences? Do not all perpera!ci of crime endeavor to conceal their gmit ;.i (! elude detection ? 1 1" the accuser of a 1 i I
