By the above extracts it will be scen that
General Scott refused to fight General Jack
son, not by a sense of religion, for fear “that
motive, should excite the ridicule of gcnlle<-
inen of liberal habits of thinking and act
ing,” but from patriotic scruples.
TO THE PUBLIC
General Scott, of the army of the United I
Slates, having, in a letter of the 2ml Janua-1
ry, 1818, to Gen. Jackson, insinuated that l
1 had written, dictated or instigated an ano- j
nymous letter to the latter gentleman, from '
unworthy motives, and for improper pur
poses; and having also concealed this impu-!
tation from me, until the publication of a I
pamphlet which reached me on the -1 1 h in- !
slant, I have considered it proper to de-|
dare, that t have, had' no agency or partial- j
pation in writing, dictating or instigating
any anonymous letter whatever to General |
Jackson—and that I am entirely ignorant ;
of the author—and that the intimation of I
General Scott is totally and unqualifiedly ,
false, to all intents, and in all'respects..
This declaration is made from motives of re-
I’spect for public opinion, and not from any
■regard for Gen. Scott,’whose conduct, on
thjs occasion, is such a total departure froin j
.honor.MntL propriety, as to.rcnderhim,U)ir,\.
looriliy of the notice of q mail who has any .
respect for himself.
It. \» npt.probu.blc that 1 can at this timej
have any recollection of having had the hon- j
or of seeing Gen. Scott,' on thg-Oth of ,1-une, |

Again time paesbdun: De Witt-Clinton
was elected Governor of the State of New
York, and on being rsworn into office, of
course look an oath against duelling—as
prescribed by the laws of that State—and.
as soon as this was done, General Scott for
got his'religion, ns well- as his patriotic
scruples, and CHALLENGED GOVERN
OR CLINTON TO FIGHT A DUEL !!!
Of course, the .challenge, as Geh. Scott well
knew, could not be-accepted, and there the
matter .ended.
Such, gentle reader, is-the General Scott,
who is so anxious to force himself upon the
people as-the- Whig-candidate for Presiden
cy of the United States-..; In faying before
the public a portion of his early history , we
have but performed our duty; .‘ With .these
facts before-them, the people will be better

MEXICAN IN VA .S I O-N
The New Orleans Bee, in an article on
the “probable effects of the Mexican inva
sion upon the Ignited States,” after referring
to many historical facts connected with the
right ot search, and demonstrating conclu
sively that the entire a flair is “a scries of
movements, Jo draw .'the cords of British
usurpation yet tighter, and all pointing to
the invasion of Southern institutions, and
the utter destruction of American commerce
in the Southern ocean, as their ultimate de
sign,” holds the following language;
In the first place it is an ascertained fact
that the,money ($(5,000,000) was furnished
by .British capitalists upon a mortgage of
church property, to. cany on this war, and
in •fact the funds passed through the hands
of Mr. Pachcnham, the British minister in
[Mexico, lor that purpose, ' The express con
dition ol (he loan was the invasion of Texas;,
and Santa Ana, in obedience to the behests
ol the English cabinet has inscribed Al5O
- I lON i.n the broadest letters upon his
.banner. , \Vc:uLteibnotiuog-.liglitly j n a mai
sub;le-Mexican to-tien, -llamil l on, (whide
may lie regarded as a manifesto of war,)’
Santa .Ana takes occasion to remark:
‘ln a.different point of viewy the question
of Texas’, involves another ol the'greatcs‘
importance to the cause of humanjty--,that
of slavery. -Mexico, who has given the
noble and illustrious example of renouncing
to., the increase of her weakh,’ aiuLeveit-lu.-
■•ttrencUttTvin , nrh'Xfr - her fields,- that she, mqy

nor retrocede in this course; and her efforts'
to recover a usurped‘territory wili-be bless
ed by all those who sincerely esteem the’
natural and -imprescriable’ rights of the hu
man species';”
We here perceive a direct agency of Great
Britain in the war upon our border. Should
our readers set-back faith, we will point out
a contingency ip, the event of. the subjuga
tion of Texas to the Mexican yoke, which
will,or ought to awaken their fears.
The Editor then lakes a cursory glance
at the map of the United-States, and sho r ws
the utter defetlcelessiuss of our frontier.

From the Saturday Courier.
UIIOOK IsjLAN I)
The illrcatoning posture .of affairs in the
State of Ithode Islaml has been made-known
to our readers. It itf with great regret we
observe the difficulties still continue to pro
duce the must intense excitement.;-.
It may be of.interest to our. readers'to be
informed of the true grounds of these distur
bances-,' . '
For morethan-a century, the-State'Gov
ernment of Rhode Island has been ad minis
tered under'-its Colonial Charter. By this
Charter, the right of suffrage is restricted
to freeholders, and the eldest sons of free
holders, being of lawful age. ...It .also re
quires voters to Avrite their names upon the
back of their votes'. Efforts were occasion
ally made, meanwhile, to obtain an exten
sion of the right of suffrage—the old Charter
having been denounced by the free suffrage
party as-tyrannical, exclusive, and ani,l-rt.-
puhfican, n.ot.al alhfeuited to .thejsj)irit_or
universal liberty which is the boast of the
free institutions of our- country. The'Le
gislature was applied to,-for the purpose, of
calling a'.Convention tp secure the change
which, the free-suffrnge parly desired;, b.ut
that body refused.to accede. Accordingly
the.refonn parly took the matter into their
owjn hands. .They chose delegates, who
fnimed a new .Constitution, which, on its
heing.Buhmilled luthe people, 'was adopted.
1 (I tlie meantime, the Legislate re,'observing
what vvargoing fuiuvfirtl;'cnircil' a Conven
tiun, which fraoud. another Constitution,
and submitted it to the people, aiid it was,
rejected. •; . .:1*„ b.„..
Tho-friends of the old Charter.and of rc
stricted suffrage, : now contend that, under
existing circumstances, no alteration of that
Charter lias taken place. Thu friends of
the new Constitution, ,on the ’other hand;
contemfthat.that’is thcState Charter, which
the people must alone recognize; and ac
cordingly they are.milking the most exten
sive preparations to held their elections'for
certain Slate officers under-it. These elec
tions are to occur on the ISlh.instant, (Mon
day last.) ..The Legislature has taken the
-most decided ground against thcm.-and has
passetl an act, -aimed expressly against, all
such as shall engage in them, specifying that
such elections will be insurrectionary and
treasonable
Hence there is the most intense excite
ment throughput the State, .Public ineetr
ings have been everywhere held. The free-
SL.ftrage parly declare their, inflexible deter
mination to earry their cause.' They httve
nominated a full list fur- all State offices.
The military of the Slate are in readiness
to act upon any emergency. -Some of the
companies have openly, proclaimed their de
termination to support the new Constitu
tion instead of the old Charter. The Gov
ernor Is ‘ acting npun tlic’siile’of "the’ old
Charter party. He has issued a proclama
tion (u that efiect—but it appeared to have
little or no effect in allaying the spirit of the
(ree-suffiage party, who zealously maintain
ed everywhere, their determination to sup
port, at all hazards, the new Constitution.
Ihe candidate for SJteriff in Providence,
favoring the cause of the new Constitution,
openly proclaimed that he should accept the
office if chosen, and at once proceed to the
dischaigj; of the duties of the;-office, not
