tied to share in the celebrity of General
Jackson than Mr.. Madison is responsible
for the earthquakes that happened during

an insult. Itrepresents his character in

Think of him, we can but hatter ourselves
that this statemcct was made without

our assent to an opinion, that Mr.. Gales,
under the mask of praising Mr.. Monroe,
is, satirising him highly: that he has
resolved to try his hand at a caricature,
and to ascertain, for once, whether he
could not do the same scandalous injus-
tice to his patrons by his panegyricks, as
he has done to the federaIists, by his

roe in the light ola political mendicant,
approaching Gen. Jackson with cap in
hand, and begging for leaf of his laurel,
with the same countcnance that other
sturdy and importanate mendicants beg
for pence. General Jackson has like
wise been represented as rudely shutting
the door in the face of this clamorous

Enlistment.
We do not know even who are the
General Officers to be retained. The
duty Of selection, from the most deserv-
ING. is q most difficult one. 1t is pro-
babe. as SO few general and field officers
are to be retained, that there will be, in
order to retain,in service even those who
have particularly distinguished them
selves, reduction in the grade of rank
of many: that is to say, some Generals
will be retained as Colonies, Colonies as
Majors, Majors as Captains, SC Painful
and delicate as this course will be, it is
vet preferable to precluding from service
those who have done honor to their COM
missions, and greatly added to the reputa-
ton of the army of the Z. S. Whatever
determination may be ultimately made or
these pcintsJthoush it viii be impossible
to steer clear Of the many difficulties sur
rounding them, and, from the circum-
stances of the case, to avoid occasional
injustice to merit, we are perfectly salts
fed. from the character of those engaged
in making the selection, that, whenever
neglect OF merit occurs, it may be charge
able, not to the mode of selection, but to
the laws by which it is so narrowly re-
stricted. Out OF upwards Of cns hundred
.aaors, there are about eight to be re-
tanned, and so in proportion There have
been probably more than this number of
officers of that grade SO wounded and
crippled in the service, whom it would
be tie height of injustice, independently
of their merits, to drive from their profes-
sion. Ibid.
