J. C. CALHOUN, Vice President of ihe United State and President of the Senate, ANDREW JACKSON. Approved, March 24, 1330.

From the Richmond Enquirer. We have piepared an article upen Gen. Harrison's pamphlet but we have no room for it to day. The impression of the whole upon our mind is. teat the General was guilty of some indiscretions; but that the Representatives of Bolivar was hurried into jealousies, fur which he had no proof, and which the conduct of Gen. H. did not justify; a?.d that our Ex-Minister was harshly trealj r i i cu oi wnicn we presume our uuciu mcnt will take due notice. After Gcd. Harrison had been superseded by Mr. Moore, he sent to Boiiar a Fetter which he had prepared before, and ot which Gen. 11. himself says: I might bo considered as an intermedling, presumptuous man; but 1 cared not for that. I determined Bolivar should find that there was one person who had sufficient confidence in his magnanimity tola) before him plain, naked undisguised tru'ns, deeply interesting to hiscounuy and i.Is own fame." In this elaborate letter, he advists Gen. Bolivar, tor the sake of his own fame, as well as for the good of hib country, to prevent the arbitrary change which is contemplated in the Government of Colombia. The reader may form some idea of its tone from the lasC paragraphias follows: "To the eyes of military men, the laurels you won on the fields of Vargas, Bavaca, and Caiiebobo, will be forever pjreen; but will that content you? Aie you willing that your name should dcbeend to posterity amongst the mass of those whose fame has been derived from shedding human blood, without a single advantage to the human race? Or, shall t be united to that of Washington, as the founder and the father of a great 2nd lappy people X The choice is before . 1 t i t I you. 1 ne irienus oi iiDerty tnrougncuc the world, and the people of the United States in particular, are waiting your de cision with intense anxiety. Alexander toiled and conquered to attain the cause ot the Athenians; will you regard as no thing the opinions of a nation which has evinced its superiority over thai eeichrated people, in the science most us ful to man by having carried into actual prac tice a system of government, of wnich the wise Athenians had but a gump: in theory, and considered as a blessing ne ver to be realised, however sidcmiy to be desired? The p'ace which you aro to occupy in their esteem depends ucn yourself, rare well. W. II. HARRISON. Our ministers nave no righi t' rneddlo thus with foreign governments. If i be sid that Gen. H. was no longer rr.'.i '.cr yet he was such but the day bcfori. and how could he, while claiming the res eel due to him as one who had solatelv held the ofiice, avoid the imputation of having, in such a character, written an inter meddling letter? This is not the on'y case, where our agents have cither inter v meddled at first directly with the Catholic' Religion of the South American btates. Mr. Poinsett could not officiate in the installation of a Masonic Lodge, without bringing down upon him the jealousies of the Mexican Government. Both he and Gen. Hatrison might have been actuated by the best motives; but the governments misunderstood their conduct, and will not thank the U.died States for it! Mr. Thomas L. L Brent our Consul at Lisbon, might have been actuated by the best intensions in lately "slipping in a word in (his) speech " cn the amnesty extended by Don Miguel to the unfortunate Poftugusse. But vhat Ameiican does not rcvoStat such uk trenuoun sentiment as the following sj. diessed oauch a man: Under the influence of the most noble and pene oua st niiments, your majesty ardently wishes to accelerate as much as possib'c the measures tending to mitigate the disastrous effects of the violence ot the iwo political parties, which has canic d desolation into the bosom of so many families, concentrating thereby, m the buora of your majesty, the entire love of your subjects, consolidating the power cf your majesty, thich so essentially depends upon it." Tor this declaration, we trust ihat Mr Bent will not cheapo without some teprirnand from the Pi evident of the United States. If we arc free and happy, let us content ourselves with being so, without officially intermeddling with the affairs cf other nation. No nation is more cn3iWitness the cases of Genet, the Ma quis of Youjo, and the Biitish Minh.cf Jackson. If foreign nations are t,re ceive any benefit fiom our free institutions, we should not boast of then.; bat trust it to the decorous agency of a free Press, and to tho benefits of our own cj ample. The Baltimore papers mention tl.r.t the owners of the land on the route pt oposed for the Yo.k and Maryland Lino Rail Road have executed a conteyanic ol the soil necessary for making the road It U intimated that the ground his been gratuitously yicldwd for thil purcoas. ;
