fore the public also, and may safely be lelt to consideration without comment. It is of too personal a character to admit of public dis eussiOn, otherwise than in a Court of Justice, and there it never can be discussed that know of: hope it never will be, directly or incidentally.

 As to the moral imputatiOn of Conspiracy. it does not necessarily carry with it rrprOach. Lafayette would never blush to have it known. if the truth be SO, that he headed cOnspira- cy against Charles X. If there are any a- m0ng us who maintain that they are absOlved from their allegiance to the United States, what offence can they take at being charged with conspiracy against it If there are any who charge the government of the United States with oppressive and intOlerable tyran- ny, what reprOach is it to them to be charged with cOnspiling! Shall there be Cesar and no Brutus, no Cassins, no Casca. found among us? By such presume it would be coveted as honorable. The motive only can charac- terize the act, and to those only whose con sciences npbraid them with selfish or dIshOn- Orahle views, can it come with reprOach ! do believe in the existence of what call con- spiracy but have impugned no mans mo- tive. I have attached no reproGch fM eplthet to the term. As tO those MhO press the al- formative upon the people, of either cOmpeIl- ing a repeal of the Tariff or positive resist ance, if there are any such who know or be- lieve that Congress cannot and will not re- cedp, | leave them to settle with their own consciences how near this approached to distinct effort to dissolve the Union. And now let me conclude with one earnest request. If this correspondence cannot be carried on without interrupting the cordial feel ing which has subsistrd between us from our boyhood. pay you let it end here. Do not entertain the thought that am stunning the i combat: you know me too well to believe it. ] On the contrary should unwilngly f0rego my feeble efforts to reconvert the state through

 Conn. had become defaultrr. He resigned l under MT. Adams Administration. and the ! office was given to his son, who was thus made to inherit his fathers office without its incum- brance. General Jackson did not think it good policy to permit families to appropriate to their own use the public money. by giving to the son an office which the father could hold no longer on account of his default; and there

 ] The above is copied from the United States | Telegraph of September 2S. It is under the l head of |" Black List'' Nc. %. The gentle man alluded to is ALEX. WoLcorr, Esq. de- ceased. A statement more at variance with matters of fact and the truth, the editor of the Telegraph could not have made. In the first place, MT. Wolcott was not defaulter. as the books of the Custom House will fully show. In the second place. MT. Wolcott did not re- sign in favor of his son; but retained the office until his death; and his son. Henry WoIcott, Esq. was not appointed until month or two after that time.

 That Mir. Wolcott could have no influence in obtaining the appointment for his son, must be evident to MT. Green, when it is re- collected that Mir. w. was as warm and deci- ded a supporter of MT. Crawford for the Presidency, in opposition 10 the claims of MT. Adams, as there was in this State. No man took stronger grounds than did Mir. WOI- colt.

 This wanton and uncalled for attack on the memory of a deceased patriot. whose cxer- tiOns in the cause of JeffersOnian democracy, and the rights of the people through many years of arduOus struggle tn this State, were unceasing, has called forth the just indigna- ton of this community. How Mr. Green could publish such gross misstatements we cannot magine*-particularly. when an in- quiry at the Treasury Department. in his city, | would have satisfied him of their incorrect ness.-MiddletosOn Sentinel.
