That to aid these Mobilities he had applied in behalf of the Indians, to various functionaries of Brit tin for supplies, and to disguise them for protection. That lie had furnished them with intelligence and ammunition, for military purposes, and had given th m advice and orders in the management of the war. That he had directed the seizure, and pre-uahd at the condemnation of Hambly and Dwylc in corre -qm ;kc of their being " the advocates of pea- e" villi the. United States. That he had msvis itcd and countenanced the massacre of It. Scott an 1 his party, constiag of about 4U Am-ricaa citizens.

And tnat one of the two wo men who had heen spared (the wife i an mecican serjeaat) was from pregnancy, no longer ;ibletokeepup with the mar- o .f ner captive, this " advocate for pearc" ' r eel le r to be put to death, and that accordingly s u- was bayoneted l through the womb ! From the same a'.d other sources of proof it was demonstrated t at Amblaster had not only instigated the Ind- ins to war against the "United State4, but iiad actuahy jo :,e ,'. them with a party of run iway negroes, and le '. them in battle having used his con. minion as i British officer (a nation with widen we wen- a' peace) to promote his pernicious inlluencc autoac, them, and having endeavored by force to con vert a Spanish i n tress into a place of savage ho 'tilitv against the United states These are the men whose crimes had destroyed so mam innocent ii . e, for the sake ot otter skins and runaway slaves, md whose punish

ment is lamented with such oignmcd sorrow bv Mr. John son, for the s ike of Messrs Adams and Clav. The evident- airiinst them sitis'.ed a

court of gdlmt and intelligent officers of tluir "guilt s itisned the representatives and the gov eminent cf the nation rid ennvinced the courts cf Spain and of lv.igl md ' f the justice of their punishment. And yet because it is too vo'ummous and intricate to be readily examined, Mr. Johnson founds upon it imputations which wii.ii the rancouro'js, have the retributive property of

injustice, and though aimed at the reputation of

thing that ought to be mentioned as remarkable both in his ire and his grief namely, his solomn

attirmation that Arbuthnot who was hung, was " more injured" than Ambrister who was onlyshot being convinced, as if from experience, that death by hanging is worse than death by shooting. When a writer has clearly established his title to disbelief, it cannot be necessary to oppose a formal refutation to each of his misstatements, especially if as in the case of Mr, Johnson, his errors have been exposed before. It appears that in the list of unfounded charges contained in the address, arc two which escaped my notice. They relate, to the si:: militia men, and to the alleged usurpation of power to appoint militia olhcers The first of these charges is now b fore the House of Representativ es, and as its determination by that body will not only have the authority of truth but of the nation, 1 shall not enter on the easy task of refuting it. The second was long ago demolished by the memorial of Gen. Jackson which was presented to the Senate on the 6th of March, 1820, and which convinced Mr. Jeff, rson of his "salutary energy" in tlie prosecution of the Seminole War. It will be enough to refer the reader to that document, and particularly to the deposition of Col. Ilavne and to the letter of Colonels Dyer and Williamson, in its appendix, for proof that the charge is absolutely and totally false. Would it were in my power also to convince him that Mr

Johnson does not know it to be so. Having thus completed the exposure ot this

laooured attempt to degrade a great citizen ar.d delude a great state, it remains to lok at the character and condition v f the body of which it purports to he the dTpiing. In individual character it is enviable, in numbers l espcctable, but in popular mttuence mid constitution, meagre and s ant. Like a dving peach tree, it has all leaves and no fruit. It appears to be more numerous than the House of Delegates, the broadest representation known in One rtate, and consisting, as it does, of detached and discontented politicians, its constituents would hardly form a brigade of militia and they would be ail against any thing m'liianj. It is in truth a ' most forcible feeble,' and the address is the most enterprising experiment on reeord for propelling falsehood by the force of authoritv. Of this experi

ment it is but j ust it c to say, Mr. Johnson appears to be the organ, the manager, the Mi.r. Rut now that his torpid !ort'uh' !rs c;dedcd, what will he do wjdi his corps of enghr-enag judge, iuisgtii led by him into the defhes of dilemma and discredit?
