Tho intelligence and animation with
which tho discussions were conducted du
ring tho whole of both evenings till a late
hour, the entire coincidence in tho views
of all the speakers, and tho unanimous a

State of tho Union.
A letter from Robert Wickliffe, of Ken
tucky, has been published in the Whig pa
pers full of scurillous charges against the
Post Master General. To this, a reply 1iy
Mr. Kendall has lately appeared, in which,
to use tho words of tho Georgetown Metro
politan, the calumnies of his enemies "are
met and silenced." If 1ho whig papers,
which havo published Mr. Wickliffo's a-
busivo letter, mean to pay any attention to
tho appearance of common fairness, they
will publish Mr. Kendall's answer. Vo
regret that tjio crowded state of our col
umns i!oc4 not nermit us to publish thin
eloquent vindication. Wo quote from it
that part which relates to tliC'case oi uovir
nor Dcs1ia of Kentucky. m

philippic against it, in which without a
shadow of reason or truth, he charged the
unhappy father with conspiracy and corrup
tion to screen his son from punishment.
Nor did he cease pursuing the object of his
hatred witli these imputations, in public and
in private, during tho whole course of his
administration.

a second time granted, the whole of the se

upon the subject, was introduced by him
with a statement of these facts.

The following account of the Desha affair,
from tho Baltimore Sun will be read With
interest.
"Francis Baker, the man murdered by
young Desha, was a native of Newark,
New Jersey, but had for four or five years
resided in Natchez, Mississippi, where he
edited with ability and success a public
newspaper. In the autumn of 1825, whilst
on his way visit his family in New Jersey,
he passed through Kentucky, and put up
at Bellingiil's Hotel at the Blue Licks. In
the course of the evening, young Desha,
who was a dashing, dissolute young man,
called at the Hotel found Baker, somewhat
intoxicated, and induced him to play with
him at cards. The two sat up all night,
and tho next morninir Drslm. nnilorinnL- tn

man resiuing in tnc nttio villago of i'lem-

and that was the last that was ever seen of

roadside. He was shot through tlm lmnil.
and his throat was cut from car to ear.
buspicion fell upon Desha; ho was arres
