From the Cincinnati Ga2elle. GENERAL JACKSON. We have aother letter from t!:2 C'' ral; one of the most estrjiordir.77i !-. 2 think, that he has ever written. ' The General, it seems, was inviteO'to epair to Kentucky, "for the purport of ounteracting the intrigu and ricrjetenl ("sweet words of certain prominent ariividuals against him." This occasioned a reply, dated July 31st, in which the General declines the visit, and gives some jasons for doing so. He is fearful that is visit would be attributed to improper otives; but says: "I know that so far as Kentucky it con?rmd, the unjust imputations which it is iy wish to aoid, would never be raised; r rather, that a great proportion of her wizens, would attribute to their proper origin, the ol jcets of m visit; yet when I r llect upon the management and intrigue, ithich are operating abroad, the magnitude of the principles which they are en eavorii g to supplant, and the runny means y which they can draw to their assistance: rom the patronage of the Government. I teel i not less dut io melf and to principle, than to the American people, partic ularl so far as they have sain tioned m) political creed, to teer clear of every conduct out of which the idea might an-e. I was manoeuvring for my own aggrandiztueiit." "The magnitude of the principles which they are endeavoring to supplant"!! Who are endeavoring to supplant? Ai d uhut are the principles? It appears to us that this is a most xt inordinary sentence to be uttered by such a man a. General Jackson Tl.c pronoun "they" although it has no antecedent Hut mv old friends" and the 4citz ns"' of Kentu( k , we presume was deMjjr d to m an tin General's opponents, or perhaps the friend? c f the administration, which U the same thins.

Portage, Geauga end T.fedini form a district, and gave this vote: Adams 3014, Clajrl3?l9 Jcckson 678. This result gives the vote of this district to Mr. Adams. The counties of Washington, Athens, Meic?. Gallia, Lawrence, Jackson, Scioto

and Pike, compose a district, and their vote was: Clay 1 120, Adams 980, Jackson 755. Here Mr. Clay would obtain a vote. According to this operation of the principle, 3181 votes out of C036, secures one vote to Gen. Jackson. 3014 voters out of 49G3, gives Mr. Adams one vote. While Mr. Clay obtains a vote upon 1120 voters out of 2855. Thus it is manifest that there is nothing like a fair and equal weight to be secured to the people by this scheme, in its application amongst ourselves. But its inequality and injustice is much more manifest when its operation in the slave states is taken into view. To illustrate its operation, in a slave and in a free state, I take the district of South Carolina represented by Mr. M'Dufric, the great champion of the proposition, and the district represented by Mr. Wood in Ohio. Edgefield district, in South Carolina, contains 13,198 free white inhabitants, 12,198 slaves, and 57 free persons ofcolour. Of these, 8872 are agriculturalists, and no person is returned, in the census of 1820, as engaged in mercantile or manufacturing pur' suits, Mv impression is that the Abbeville dis-

I triet, in conjunction with that of Edgefield,

elects Mr. M'Duflie. 1 have made my calculations upon that hypothesis: but theresuit would not be materially varied, should my other district, adjoining Edgefield, be connected with it. Abbeville contains 14.863 white inhabitant, 86I0 slaves, and C4 free persons of colour. 7319 arc engaged in agriculture.

57 in commerce, and 226 in manufactures. These two districts contain 28.061 white

It the General mean any thii g, therefore, his charge, in plain English, is. that his political opponents an endeaoring to upp)ant some principles of great magnitude, and that they obtain means to do it. from the patronaee f the government''! We are not aware that the opponents of the General are engaged in any thing of this kind. If he mean that their opposition to his election to the Pre sidenc, is a "supplanting of magnificent

sons of colour. Rejecting fractions, we

may say there are 28.000 whites, 20,000 Oaves. Three fifths of 20 is 12. Thus

the 20.000 slaves are counted for 12.000 free persons. So that, of the 40,0QP soulwhich the present apportionment assigns for each member of Congress, 12.000 of Mr. McDuffic's constituents arc slaves 16.221 are engaged in cultivating cotton awd rice, 57 are merchants, and 220 manufacturers.

heard. Are they not, then, advocates ol slave influence? Washington and Franklin Their respect for religion. In the Convention which assembled at Philadelphia for the purpose of digesting a constitution for the United States, the debates were frequently of a warm and angry character. At the close of a speech which he made on one of these occasions, the celebrated Franklin is said to have made the remarks inserted below, copied from a lare number of the N. York Gazette, to the editor of which paper they were communicated bv a gentleman who

I received them from General , a ! member of the Convention. I uBefore I sit down, Mr. President, I will ; suggest another matter, and am really surj prised that it has not been proposed by some other member at an earlier period of jour deliberations. I will suceest, Mr. 1 President, the piopriety of nominating and t appointing, before we separate, a Chap lain to this convention, whose duty it shall I be uniformly to assemble with us, and in- ! troduce the business of each day by an adI dn ss to the Creator of the Universe and the Governor of all nations, beseeching

! G000 Carolinians arc as effective as 9000

Ohioans, admitting that as much division exit in one state as in the other. But this is never the case. The South unite the West divide and hence an increased influence is secured to the slave states by the amendment. Look a moment at individual employment in the two districts. In one there arc 16,221 cultivators of cotton and rice.

but 57 merchants, and 229 manufacturers!

el the peepk. How does this matter really stand? Toe propositi n is this. Every state in the Union shall he divided into as many di-tiicts as it is entitled to electors. The qualified voters in each district shall meet, and vote direct 'for Presidentand the candidate who has the greatest vote, shall be considered as having one vote. The true operation of this principle may he easily explained, by recurring to the vote of Ohio at the last election. Hamilton and Clermont countie rempose a district.

hut cotton and rice cultivators, and how silly must it be for the mechanics of Ohio to join in plans for agrandisiug those w ho can feel no interest in their welfare. This plan ol altering the constitution is no better than an electioneering trick. It is in fact a rank cheat. If there be an hon est and sincere wish to alter that instrument in respect to the election of President, so as to give ihe election to the people, Mr. Sloan' proposition is the only fair one. lt the President be elected bv the free white males, without any regard to districts, or the qualifications of electors in the several states.
