CATO

Gen. Jackson and Com. Decatur. isf'

Allusion has been fiequently made in public ints, to an interesting interview which occurred between theBe genrlemen some years ago, nea« the door of the United Stucs Senate Chamber. As I have derived tne particular* from an authentic source, I dhall take the liberty of suim»itii:-ig them to the consideration of the public.

Toe extraordinary measures of gen Jackson during the continuance of the Seminole war not only elicited deep and loud comp aints from tin* public, but attracted the notice ol Congress, '''he subject was brought before the House ol Representatives by Mr Clay, the present distinguish ell Secretary of State lie animadverted on the General's disregard of orders, as well as of legal and constitutional restraint, witfi a de gree of boldness 5* eloquence which even surpassed ajl his previous efforts.

The General's conduct was al?o made a subject of inquiry in the Senate In this investigation VIr. Lacock and llobet ts, of this state, and Mr. Eppes of Va. took an active part The General complained with much t)itteriie.ss ot the course puiuued by all these gentlemen, and thn atened to cut ot! their ears. He selected, however, Mr. Epp! s, the son in law of the patriot Jelferson as the particular object ot his vengeance, and swore, with his usual profanity, that he would chastise him the midst of the body in which h,s injurious remarks hud been made

This report reached the ears of the gallant Deca'ur. Me considered it, nowever, as one of those idle de clarations wnicli men of intemper ate passions not unfrequcntly make without any intentiou of puling »i into execution.

The last day of the session, tinSenate have an evening sitting foi the purpose of receiving messageIrom the President. Go this occas on the Commodore conducted Mrs Decatur to the brick capitol, to witness the ceremony ot the adjourn ment of the Senate. As thay pats^d through a small anti'irooni to tin door of the Senate Chamber, abou line o'clock

at night., ||»ey saw witi

|&urpme gel). )acwith -hU Uvo

aids-de-*amp walking'bacuWMrda and orwa d~, appearing under the in fluence of gre..t excitement. So soon is he conducted Mrs. Decatur to seat in the Lobby he returned ann isked one of the aids whether or no# it was true, that gen. Jackson intended to attack Mr. Eppes in the Senate Chamber. The reply wns, sue! is the GeneraPs intentton, and such is the ohjoct of his visit to the capitol at this hour. He added further that it was altogether impossible for any one, fo alter his determination.

Decatur then turned to gen Jack son, and observed, with that grave firm tone for which he was so remarkable. I have just learned, sir, with deep regret, that the object o! ^our visit to the capitol, this late hour, is to chastise Mr. Eppes in the senate chamber."

The General replying with a voice fauitenng with passion, yes sir, thd—n'd rascal has if-jurcd iray reputation, and I will tie revenged of him this evening—I will cane him in tluenate chamber—I will teaeh the scoundrel to impeach my conduct, or to call in question the propriety o! my measures. 'Then" replied the gallant Coin inodore, you are.an undone manyour fame will be shipwrecked, and the nation disgraced —For God*" sake be diverted from your purpose —the persons of our Senators ar^ sacred, when engaged in their deliberations, and it is our duty to pro tect, and not to assail them 7

Whilst Decatuf was thus earnest !v tendeni^ hi advice, Jackson hast 11 interrupted him with the follow ing rema 1 have made it a rub in life, sir, to be revenged of all in-•-ults, and I am not uow to be divert •m| fro.o inv pnrposes. By the eter rial G—d I iil enter the setiat* chamber and fl»g th* d—d rascal."

Decatur slapped his hands togctb in his own peculiar manner, an fiercely observed,'• you s"all not en rer that door, sir, unless it be over in dead bo ly ."

Jackson stepped back his lip compressed, and his face pallid wit itiger Jic eed in silence the ga fant spirit opposed to bun tor th space of half a minute. He remark •'d,

kJe

testi-

'oontr in tins* ity, that he alt threatened to cut jf the ran of some of the United SicleS senators, lor discussing his conduct in the Seminole buswess. -r $

Decatur, I regard you as

friend, and rtsprct you as gallau dliccr, but you must no*, ou, iMtri 'ere in my designs

Witm'ssing the inflexible determination of Decatur, the Genera lowered hi* tone of violence, and intreated in his turn that there shouul lie no interference with his purposes —Gen Jack» n," 9aid Decatur,

I respect the feelings of a soldier, but the course which you have taken this affair, cannot receive the sanc--ion of any one, whose idg nent Iree from the influence ot passion I must therefore, again estreat of yen, to abandon yonr present ras and inconsiderate intentions.'

Jackson gave Decatur a familiar slap on the shoulders, and observed, you are a gallant soldier, I will take your advice. I know you would not advise me to any course which is incompatible with the honor of a soldier."

The truth of the above anccdote fan be sustained by the most positive and unimpeachable testimony The gallant, the patriotic, the high minded Decatur himself, has detailed the circumstances to several highly respectable gentlemen in this state. The detail was made at a time when no one in his senses ever supposed »en. .Jackson would be brought forward as a candidate for the Presidencv. The anecdote was related with "no other view than fo illustrate his violent, and headlong character.

OHIO ELEC TIONS. As far as we can gather from al quarters, the elections in this State proves conclusively, what indeed wo have never doubted, that a very large majority of the people are in favor of the re-election of Mr. Adams.

The Alexandria Gaiefte, speaking of the election, says, the heroitcare shooting off their long guns, and ringing their bolls for what they are pleased to call a victory in Ohio.'

This victory consists it seems in Ih* election of one Jackson man in district, where there were two if not three administration candidates pit ted against him. 'The fact we belie* to be, that of 14 members of tl lower hoifse of Congresa and Senators Iro^n Ohio, J3 af®

New interest 13 added to bis mvsteriou.s abduction, by a dead oody floating on shore at Lake Ontario, which the testimony of a riu.mber of individuals acquainted with Morgan would, render probable to be.*, long tohiin. The body when foufitt was in sa putrid a state, that the fea.-. lures could not be distinguished. A coroner's inquest was called whore-, timed a verdict of suffocation bydrowning." After the body vva-n »uried suspicions were afloat that ifcwight be that of Morgan. Witnesses to ascertain the fact was procured from Batavia, among whom was Mrs. Morgan, the majority of whose evi»_ denco went tmahew "that this was tha. body of the individual in question^
