The observations of a writer] who sands deservedly high for his labo i-, researches on this subject, are worthy of »reat consideration, and are at this crisis sbmiitied to the opinion of my fellow citi-| zens.

Of tke credibility of the witnesses on ei- ther side, we, of course, are unable to judge. It is stafed, that none of the testi mony was in the possession of governor Clinton at the time when he made the char- ges—that the certificates « have been prin- cipally obtained from men without ‘charac- tery and arc but fabrications to give a color- ing” to them.—If these assertions be cor- rect, and this can, and no doubt will, soon be asertained, Mr. Clinton’s attempt to excite sympathy, by representing himseld as persecuted by the general government, will produce the contrary affect, and siak, bim lower than he has ever been in the es- timation of the people.
