 The National lntelliqencer of vestertlay contains long, jesuitieal article, endeavor : ing to wtifc5gasf Henry Claws perjury on taking his seat in the Senate of inc Tf3;,ed States, on the 29th day of December. I8Ge. } nearly four months before he,arrived at the constitutional age of thirty years and. afgr an argument to prove that il was all pFoner and rightto the :" embodiment of whig prjn- ciples2 10 violate the constitution, and uIae- ing the o5ttts of the crime upon the 4eilisia- tufe ot Kentucky, for electing him, 1t gives two cases in justification of Mir Claws course, the first of which is John Randolph's famous answer to the speaker, when he took his seat for the first time in the House of Repre- sentatlYes, 10 the question whether he was ot the constitutional age. '.Goask my con stituents, sir" Admirably in point What did Randolph E answer imply That he had settled that matter win his constituents either that they had asked him if he were of age, or that, if he had not been. he should have honestly told them SC. Al any rate, that there was DO doubt on the subject! No one doubted then, or doubts now, that he was of age.

 The argument of the Intellgeneer, (which Is, in fact, no argument,) is then c,inched, secondly, by the sweeping assertion that " Gen. Jackson was elected q senator of | g United States 5efofs he g ts fhjrtg years of age, and took his seat upon that cleetion.3' And this assertion they attempt to sustain by an extract from Ke1dall's Lif. of Jackson, in which he states the fact of Gen. Jackson's election 10 the Senate-giu6s tic aag arhea hc ioot his ssat--states that he resigned. was appointed judge, and then casually remarks . he was 0ica thirty years old" The au- thonty quoted does not sustain the assertion of the lntelligencer But, to put the matter beyond doubt, let us see how the factg are.

 Gen Jackson was born on the 18th day of March, l767. See ute ,rdig ala,anac for l841) On the 22d day of November, I797. he tooh his seat ia the Senate for the first time. See Senate .loaaHal, 2d s-Sgi3a. 5A Congress, ef atat day.) He was then thirty years, eight months, and eight days old = Thus does the rccori talsify the oaioa9 m putatlon oi the ntelliganaef upon that gfssa man and Pare-hearted patriot.

 Let Mr. Clay and the Legislature of Ken lucky settle the oaas of the perjury between them. There t is, and there will it stick; the stain is too deep aid damning to be ob- liberated Sloan itself could not wash it out hethe cannot hide Ii.
