I have retracted nilt single fact that I stated; and I may add, that in all that I have said and written on this and every other political question. I.am not con - seiout of any single mistake of an impor tant fact. I iight have cone farther, and stated what I -uiposed almost everv man in the United States knew, that Col. Bento wits the author, the first to sugget this gold and silver pioliev. II he i n,not, why has he beens called '"humbig Benton." -hi rd motey Benton?" WVy are gold coin "niled "llenton drops?'' If' Gen. Gordon is the true father of* the policy, they should have been clled Gordon drops. But to tile proof. In a spI)eerh made inl the Senateon it: 21st M..reh, 1834, the follow ing pasages oceui, with fifty others like Itet : Col, Isenton staid, "In the first plae lie was one of those vho believed that the Gove-rtnient of the U.

IThe authority givei to Cotiress to cohi motiy, Is aln atithority to stlinp metallic money, and not an authority lir issuing slips of paper, conitaini;; promises to pay money." Pretty strong, I think, against Treasury Note. Agnin, he says, "Gold and %ilver is the only thin!, recopnized is tt ney." "It is Ithe illniey. ;iul 11he' oily tm11oney of tle Con '41tilion.

York Commercial Adveniser, a leading Bank paper, finding the anuthoiity of Mr. Jelbr son too hard for it has finally thrown it oCr, by an opon denunciation of the great iepublican, bolb morally and politically. We will not defend Mr. Jefferson's moral character, for in this respect, we have ever regarded him as no fit model for the Ameri can People. But he is universally esteem ed as the 2reat chainpion of Republicnaism, throughout the country; and it is obvious, that he who will attack him politically, is at once aineking the great doctrines of liber ty. No utan perhaps who ever lived, was a more iuiforn, consistent. and zealous Re pul.lienn ting Mr. Jelerson; and the Dec laration of Independence, and his faithful, a'd nile comentary upon the Constitu tion iii 1798. will reinain splendid nionti maents of' his wisdom and patriotim, as long as Liberty has a votary. The Advertiser indeed calls itself a geni ine patriot. and yet the )olitical doctrines of Mr. Jeffers-wn are declared to be false and unsound, and it is said, have produced incalculable mischief to the country. So in truth aust all think, who go ror a National Bank, and a gigantic General Government. MI. Jefferson was a State Rights man, anti all his pritciples are opposed to Nationalism and Consolidation. The great apostle of Stnte Sovereienty. cannot be twisted into authority for the high Federal measures whir I it is proposed now to establish. The St-aie Rihts inen who are associated with W'ebster. Clay & Co., imust oonseint to see himl, .iusel and denflunced. or dissolve the cop.;rtnership. Which will they do! Is our ol and faithftl leader to be sacrificed, or is it better hi we should again rally a rouid his principles, and make one coin imon -truggle in defence of ihose doctrines, whi(h are essen. 'al It the permanence of our Iustititions. COMMUNIIICATIONS. Mr. Editor. Sir,-I have observed in your paper of lie 13th1 inst. a coinum nica Lion over the signature Of "Many Voters," which, from its extraordinary character and apparent ohviotus desin. I consider it due to myself not to permit to pass n ithout sorre notice. Who) this %riter is, who has (n0 doubt for Politietal fl'ect) Ihcought proper to sign hin M.lf "ManY Voters" I an at a loss to con jecture. If however, it is expected of me lo iive a direct and full reply to his com mlunientiont, Ite must come out over his on a proper signature, that I may know who he is, and whether lie is entitled to Po much notice. lie says, "Afiern eareful perusal ofth lengthy and lab irionis exoamton of forced upon ui that he is in favor of a Na ional Bank," and sanys immediately after wards, 'It is true lie has given himself roomito play" &c. that "le has refused -o conimit himself either by an allirniative or tez:tive on this Inomentons question, ; ut i('avcs the people to forn their own opin ieens of his pereference and conurse, friomt the evidhences contamned in his da;rk and wide %lprend exposition of his views, and tinder n htieh he can herecafler shelter hiirnself, whether his course he for or agatinst ac Bank" Thuis, n ith some allusions in the next par acgracph of bik commiinunicaition, lie at temtnpts to rephre'actt me as occup.s ing a position itn r'elationi to this qutestieo. UnwiLortly of an htoniorable man. and I cast it hack upon him. with contempt. I should regard any man, unwsorthy of cousideraitiotn, and( whol ly unfit to he the representativ.e ofrnt i'ntelfl. gent. pat riottic, hiighnmindedh, gallant people who was capable of taking such a position. Themattive for doing so would obviously be,to secnre. it' potssibile, his electior--a tmotil e which e'very honoitrale tman weou ld disdair. In to aece of wthat lie has stated. I unhesi ititngl y assern, what I shiuld thinkl all ought tO ptereeive who have read my an swer, thatt I have given tmy opinion freely, "raiikly andil decidedly. That the opties of KAlanyv Voters"have been too mneih becloud ed to perce9te this accordini2 io his own shcowin;-, I shalhl itoidi-putte; but,to the People ofttheDistrict generaelly ,as far as I have learn edl (exept the "(every pecrson" with whom he says lie has conversed) the position I oc cupy in relation to) this question, is well utndersitod. That it inayhie seen, that I am not now in faivor of the establishment. of a Naitional Bank. and do tnot regard it as Conistittiicinial, nor as the proper mencns of tirecdteinig a sound currenicy. buit distinctly limitt on11 what I do regard as the propier mnean--, and precr course to lie p)urstted. to let dhown the pr'esent uniseundl system, and place the currency on a better atid more piermtanent fontittiIon, is too obvious to re <puire explanation. What lie says of my objecting to one of the~ details of the Stil-Treasury scheme, I consider titnecessaery unw to notice; not know ing who "Alatny Voters" is-whether '.e be a citizen ohf the D)istrict, or somne tr'ansietnt or miigrtory wighit. F"or aught I know, he may be one of those, who in a late miemorabele p)eriloius crisis in the histo ry of our alrdirs, lehft South Carolina, for, what hie regarded, a more congrenial atnd p)eacefuil Clime. Be tbis as it may, of one . thin2 itam certain; if over I ascertain whso "Many Veerets" is, I shall be able to form at pretty c'orrect opinion of his object for sprneadtinig before the pieop)le. this c!ection certini pi"c aC gains8itfme. And I regret, cxceedingly regret, the character of his
