ipccts T have been unconnected with any (hint; 'that threatened hi safety. A to the chprge that my office was used for any such purposes as are named by Mr. Ingham, it is not less untrue than the rest of the statement. Major Eiton wa3 in my office twice, once be tween ten and eleven o'clock, and once about fifteen minutes before three; each time he cama alone, and did not remain more than ten minute?. I regret, Sir, that Mr. Ingham, in making charges of such grare import, had not thought proper to refer to the authority upon which he based his allegations, and awaited the issue before he left the city. With the highest respect, Your obedient servant , T. L. SMITH. To the President.

Mr. Randolph to the President. Washington, 22 J, June, 1831. Sir: in answer to your letter of this date, asking the extent of my participation in the controversy lately passed between Mr. Ingham and M?ijor Eaton, and how far I am amenable to ths charges made by Mr. Ingham against me, m his letter of yesterday, I havo to reply, that I had no further agency in the matter than is shown in the correspond dence between those gentlemen, as published in the Telegraph on Tuesday last. I was not with M ijir Eaton more than ten minutes at any one time between 9 and 3 o'clock on Monday, on which day the charge of a combination for the purpose of assassinating Mr. Ingham is made by him against me and others. 1 did not participate in, nor did I know of any design to attack Mr. Ingham's residence as is charged by him, nor wag 1 armed at any time during the hours mentioned, having no apprehension of danger from Mr. Ingham, or those "friends" whom he says surrounded him. JVhjjr Eiton was n! one when he sought an interview with Mr. Ingham, as will be fbown by the certificates of two respectable individuals. Respectfully your?, P. G. RANDOLPH. Thfi Public will discover from th tencr cf the subjoined Letter, that . Lm?, Esq. lias . declined holding a poll for the cflice of Lieutenant Governor. Private business unexpectedly called Mr. Lane from the State fur several veek3, which made it impoisib'e for him to visit the different counties of the State, and under the system of electioneering now practised in luditna, success cannot be expected without traversing every neighborhood, and making peeches in every town. Under these circumstances we think Mr. Lane has acted prudently in declining, and although no pains have been spared by the. opposition to villi fy and slander him, he will lay his friends under renewed obligations, by his liberality and sacrifices for the unity of the party. Mr Smiley will unite, in a great degree, the votes of the friends of the present administration, and thereby defeat with their orsn -wc pons the designs of those who endeavored to use him, in the hope of dividing the strength of the Jackson party : Jnd. Democrat . To the gentlemen cornjiosing the Copimittee appointed at a meeting oj the friends oj the Kaiional Administration ci Indianapolis, cn the request that I should consent to run for the office cf Lieutenant Governor: Gentlemen: When you made known to me, that it was unanimously desired by my political friends then in Indianapolis, that I should allow myself to he announced as a candidate for L'eut. Governor, it was expressly elated that the request was made withjths expectation that there would be no opposing candidate from our own ranks. I was iuduced to comply with your conditional request, not only by the hope of being useful in the station proposed and by your fl tllering assurances of my ability to serve the Republican party by explaining the principles we advocate, and thus removing the doubts and oh jeciions which our opponents have artfully crealed, but by the wish to pre vent division in another quarter, where I thought unity most essential. I thought there was an absolute necessity for unify of action as well as of opinion. I thought it useless Xoprofess principles, unless we gave an etlicient support to those who advocate them; useles3 to approve measures unles3 we would unite in selecting those who would endeavor to carry them into effect. I regret that the same desire to avoid collision with political friends, and to progress harmoniously and (of course) successfully, has not influenced the conduct of all. I have learned that Mr. Smiley has made known to the committee appointed to address him, his fixed determination to continue a candidate. IJ. Smiley's name had been previously before the public, and J distinctly 6tatcd my willingness to comply with your request only in the event of his withdrawal. I am there fore no longer a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor. Accept, gentlemen, my thanks for the kindness with which you have communicated the request of the meeting. Most respectfully, your friend and fellow citizen. A. LANE. MORTGAGES, &c. for sale at this Office.

Sin, from a communication of yours, which I have seen in the 20th No. of the Palladium, you have enquired of me to know if .1 am in favor of stopping the mail on Sunday, and uniting church and state. These questions I am ready and willing to answer, and in doing this, I shall be governed, as I always have been, when the rights of conscience are supposed to be jeopardized, by a liberal opinion on historical facts. The utility of post offices cannot for a moment be questioned, and the necessity of carrying the mail on the Sabbath is evident to every candid man in the nation. Take the population and capital of this great republic, and consider its almost unbounded territory, and you will find the enterprise and commercial connection, encouraged by our wants and invigorated by our love of competency and independence, surpassing any thing of the kind in the civilized world. A man even in upper Missouri, for a mere trifle, from the present judicious system of mail transportation, has his commands and remittances carried onward as if on the wing3of the wind, say to and from the citicoof New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, while himself is at home behind his counter, or attending on his family concerns. For anti-Sabbath mail gentlemen's accomodation, ordain, (as brother Jonathan did, when he gave his clerical order to the dear souls of his own old Connecticut,) that there shall be no more mail travelling on the Sabbath, and you disarrange every thing in the post office department, while, as far as I can see into causes and eDects, you bestow benefits no where. Much has been said about intrusions on the Sabbath day's devotional exercises of post masters. When a man takes the charge of a post office on himself, he is apprised of the condition, and it being a voluntary act of his own, he ha3 no cause of complaint whatever. I will venture to say we have not a town cr village in the state, but what has men, citizens thereof, who would freely become post masters, and bear, yes, with the greatest good feelings, that heavv conscience burden, some have pleased to complain of. In short, if a post master cannot endure the idea of handling Uncle Sam's pac kages on the Sabbath day, let him give up the oflice to some one who will be kind enough to handle them on that day, and yet think no harm of it. Finally the United States' mail in my opinion must not and cannot be stopped on the Sabbath, after a knowledge of the many advantages obtained and obtaining, in this highly favored republic, by its constant onward course, although the overrighteous may complain and argue to the contrary. It has been truly said that fanaticism and hypocrisy have caused more blood to be shed on the earth, than all the political wars put together. This brings me to consider the atrocity of the union of church and state: For where these principles predominate blood, conllagation and despotism points out the monsters' paths and highways. Destruction claims them as her champions and lords spiritual, seated in authority, by the side of lords temporal always have, and always will bring misery and woe upon any people or country. Spain with a little of her fanaticism and a great deal of her hypocrisy, laid down her inquisitorial iron rule, to arrest foreign sectarianism, as she pretended, Sc the Moore not only paid the forfeit of his religious presumption, but families of the Pen insula, as the catholic son gave information of the protestant opinion of his father, were involved in ruin, grief and despair. It was onlv necessarv for the protestant or heretic female, when this cursed control was sanctioned, to be beautiful, to ensure the violation of her chastity, as it was certain for the protestant or heretic man of wealth to groan out a life of manv years in gloomy cells, cut oil' from the association of friends, and the conven ience of fortune. The virgins' tears never have yet quelled the passion of

the hypocritical church and state man nor the arguments of industry Sz economy, reconciled his avaricious soul. If they have, then Don Florente, in his annals of the inquisition, has not told us the truth. Hear what this annalist has offered. In the first twenty-eight years of this tribunal, he says, there were 1 30,400 persons burned alive, 70,9S0 burned in effigy, and 1,505,071 doomed to various penances. After here remarking that all ages and sexes were alike punished, I shall close the scene with the holy catholics of Spain, and cross over the Pyrenees, to Fee what his most christian majesty has been doing in these disgusting atrocities; yes, it will be well enough to notice the grand monarch as we go along, and see what his subjects have gained by uniting church and state. If we could draw back the curtains of the torn!), and could resuscitate the ashes of murdered Huganots, their wounds and sufferings would tell us more in five minutes inspection, than we could demonstrate could we wield the pen of a Hume himself; and all this effected too, by a union of church and state. To support and keep in place, the profligate and voluptuous, the kings of France have trod on the necks of their subjects and previleged orders have been erected, which they knew would he tilled bycreatures better entitled to the appellation of scoundrels and hypocrites, than that of honest citizens and worthy

men. Thus the spirit of creating and uniting went on, until a worthy herd of twenty thousand half church and half state fellows, called however nobles by their royal master, Louis the XVIII, entailed curses on the head of devoted France; while Louis, through state and church management, was profited by a treasure of 144 millions, drawn from the hard earnings of the people. And what were the defenders of the faith in the fast anchored isle about, while other nations were admitting their own destruction, by uniting church and state? We shall go no further back in this enquiry, than the British revolution. James the II and his son-in-law William got to loggerheads, & a gtoriou3 victory, gained on the banks of the river Boyne, by William and his valiant forces, saved the drooping cause of protestanism. But matters could not rest here: the persecuted must become persecutors, as the fear of the pretender argues the necessity of an Episcopal church establishment. Here we find some of the royal brood made arch-bishops, and bishops, in their boyhood, and the eacred religion of the prince of peace promulgated by a set of Fox hunters, Sec. fcc. Tythes were levied to buy their horses Isz. dogs to pleasure with, & a personage, whom they were pleased to call his majesty, with an army and navy, to protect them in all their extortions and profligacy. The case is desperate enough, if we confine it to England alone, but when we look at the tythe system enforced on the Irish, to support a doctrine they abominate, we must declare it enough to arouse the patriot to deeds of renown to redress his country's wrongs. At this moment there are more than two thousand Episcopal Clergymen, stationed in Ireland, on handsome livings, taken from the labor of her peasantry. We know that the prevailing sects in that country, are Roman Catholics and Presbyterians; therefore the Episcopal gentry must have small congregations; however sons theyr get the guineas, they are regardless of the number of hearers. Poor unfortunate Ireland! the state alone could not be satisfied with thy political calamities, unless the church would put on her long face, in union with her, to partake of thy substance. We have grown tired of European church and state duplicity and intrigue, or we would at least say something of Rome, the seat of dishonor and the mother of superstition. But having hypocrites and fanatics west, as well as east, of the Atlantic, we must come home and see how circumstances have transpired with us. Our records produce bigoted improprieties enough, as millions of the untutored sons of the , . r , ' i anu righteous God. In the very lirst ... . , , ,.J , . settlement oi our country, we una in quisiioriai coionmi eiauasiimenis iabricated. Intolerant dispositions of men in power in the parent country, aroused a spirit of emigration west, for conscience sake, and the wilds of America was considered the home of -i i i j r the emigrant and the asylum of the exile. Here again in a short time the man, who likely not six months before, on his bended knees, supplicated "father forgive them, for they know not what they do," began his own system of flames and torture, in the very forest he had entered with a determination not to do as he had been done by. Thus m-io is weak, And little to be trusted. Excep'mg a few cases, the church and state resii ietions were similar in uio acii.cuiciu uirtuioiiu.. x uci. vx- i centions arc to the honor of Penn and ' the settlement of America. Their ex-

Lord Baltimore particularly; nnd the fourth of July 1770, presenting these United States with a declaration of Independence, preceded by a bill of rights, the Episcopal control, and authority of Great Britain, met their final doom. It was now that the honest minded politician could support the doctrine of tolerance, without being branded with deism; and denominations previleged their church governments, without the aid of human laws. This republican governmsnt was fashioned for the immediate benefit of man. It is here religious principles should be cherished, which should be free as the winds of I e iven Yes, in a government where "liberty dwells," the Presbyterian should be protected in his doctrine of infant biptism, election, and reprobation. Tile Baptist, in

his going down under the waters, ihe Methodist, in his free grace and instantaneous conversion. The It man Catholic, in his indulgences and power ot forgiveness. The Quaker, in his charity and good will to all men. The Universalis!, in his "I come to save the whole world;" and even the man who "sees God in clouds or hears him in wind," let him be a Pagan, Mahometan, Jew, or Hindoo, is entitled to the protection of a government like curs. Ii is as much impossible for us to think alike, on religious matters, as it is for us to look alike, and why should I as a sectarian, be disposed to deal dam nation round the land, and each I judge j thy foe. God Almighty permits these ( things, and when he in his infinite w isdom, shall think proper they must cease, iha national order of his ere ation are all accountable to him for deeds done in the body, and to him alone for the dictation of our consciences, will we be answerable. Let us thank his holiness, for the religious previieges he has been pleased to bless us with, and let us as freemen never jield them to any power foreign or domestic, under the sun. While we guard against intrigue and hypocrisy, let us establish a doctrine acknowledging the imperfections of our nature, the whims and caprices cf our desires. Thus with Pope 'lfl am right, thy grace impart, Still in the right to stay; If 1 am wrong-, Lord teach my heart, To fi ad that better way These precepts will ever remain foreign to the union of church and stale. JAMES T. POLLOCK. For the Palladium Gregg, esq. To Milton Sir In your paper of the 1st inst 'you express your willingness to enter into a fair, open and candid investigation of the matters con tained in an article which appeared in the Palladium cf June 25th, over the signature of A Voter of Randolph township, respecting the annunciation of M. Slew art esq as a candidate to represent this county in the next state legislature; and you cali upon the writer of that article to answer your nine pleas or assertions, and this you call making up the issue in a 'concise end lucid' manner. We will say nothing about your wonderful conciseness. But, sir, if you had wished the issue to be made up in a ( "iiic.d ' manner, you uond certainly have published all the letters and documents relating to this iinair, and which vou boasted of havinir in your possession. But, sir, as soon as the art cle alluded to waspublished, you found yourself

in dissgreeab'e dilemma, and posted down ti j ouhcilt I will propped to open all lanes, aliasing Sun, in order to get possession of those ; l ee, or streets within the corporation of tho documents, and to get another individual to ! town cf La wrenci burh. which may at the

manmaciure oinersioryou. i nose euments j the present case, and as the people are the tribunal which we wish to appeal to for a decision, it is necessary that they should be made acquainted with all the facts belonging thereto. Piesuming from your having shown one or more of those letters to several individuals, that they are not coi.fiJcntial, and having understood that you had the permission ofycur correspondent to make such use of his letters as you pleased, you can have no excuse for withholding them. Mr. Gregg, dare ycu publish the whole? if not, then the public will pronounce you guilty. As it has been intimated by some, that Col. Pepper took an active part in getting up tne article alluded to, it is but justice to that gentleman to state, that he never read one word or sentence of that artie'e, until it made its appearance in the Palladium; and that l.e took no part eitheir directly or indirectly in writing it. .2 Voter of Iiando'ph Tu-Jinship. July 5, 1831 . The want of room prevented us from inserting the following article last week, as desired by the writer. It may not now be too late. FROM THE STATESMAN. Probate Court.
