com. PORTER has sent in his resigna-
ton of his commission as Captain in the us.
Navy, having accepted the command of the
Navy Ofthe Republic of Mexico. Now we
are so unfortunate as to disagree with many
of our brother editors, who lament that the
gallant Captain should be induced by any
means to change his allegiance from this to
neighboring republic. That Com. Porter is
o brave and experienced officer, no one can, or
will wish to deny. But that he is a suitable
character to train up and instruct the future
heroes Of our navy, demands with us doubt.
He is brave, and he is as imperious and as
lordly as he is brave. When Post Captain
shall feel that he is above law, or when his
proud soul revolts Mt an investigation of his
conduct, he can well be spared the service,
and that too without any loss to the country;
or when he haughtily contemns the authority
which gives him a commission, let him send
in resignation,-the navy will not suffer by
his absence. We are ardent friends of the
navy, and we have rejoiced at the rich need
of praise that has been bestowed upon its gal
liant heroes; but we shall never suffer our
selves to be so dazzled with their fame as to
suppose them immaculate, or support them
when In fault. ~
NEXT PRESIDENT.-What, SO soon
commence the elcctioneering campaign? The.
political jargon and animosity of the last e.
lection is but just subsidized, and shall we again
rush into contest, (which at all events must
continue until 1899 ?-Why not calmly and
candidly examine the measures of our present
administration, approve what is good and con-
dernn its opposite Because. forsooth. GER
tain lordly characters at the south, have said
the present general administration is not repub-
licsua, and they will never approve any Of its
measures, good, bad, or Indifferent; and GER,
tain ,cise Editors at the north echo the cry,
not republican! What in the name Of candour
Is our general government if it be not repub-
lcan? and who are the mushroom patriots
who condemn the great men that govern the
political destinies Of our country? Now all
the obloquy which is heaped upon CUR pres
ent worthy chief magistrate, and all the oppo-
sition which is raised against the administra-
ton, is to be expected in country like this,
where noisy dennagogues are as plenty as dis
appointed Of6ce-seekers. But it was not to
be expected that an Adams, Rush, Bar
bour, a Clay, and Southland would be con-
demaed as anti-republican, and Jackson, a
Calhoun, Van Buren,, a M Duffie, and Ran
dolph, be extolled as the only true friends Of
the country,-the only republican, disciples and
followers of Washington, aud Jeferson.--But
such is the fact, and as faithful Journalists we
are bound to notice the fact. Already has the
throne of King Caucus been erected at the
south, and the mandate has gone forth thatin
two years from the last day of February next,
John Quincy Adams shall surrender the helm
Of state, and the republican Andrew Jackson
shall assume the Command, and guide the ship
