Our republication oi Mr.. Harker's opihion OF

Let the reader bear in mind that the words Just
Quoted we're given by Mr. Harker. as his deliberate
opinion Of Cen Jackson, before the late presioen
,,al ,iectian Let him contrast them with Mr.
Harker's present attempts to promote the cause OF
the General, and he will at once pronounce him to
be the most couie nptbe political weathetcotk that
modern times have produced. But little Will
ago, and General Jackson was, in the opinion O.
Corporal Harker. the "most Objectionable" oil all
the candidates for the presidency; aye, mere " 90
ecuopabe'' than even Messrs Adams shd Clay
who the Corporal would have US believe are the
worst men in the world. Now, the Corporal up
! holds that Z" Objectionable" man as the only one
worthy 10 be elevated to the FIRST office within the
gift OF the people OF the United states. lhe ma"
4 in whom The Corporal has seen "a disregard Tor
the institutions OF his country" is now recommen
ed BY him as the only person into whose hands the
preservation OF those institutions can be safely com
Il nted. The man in whom he has seen " 2 dIspo
si,ion 10 place himself above the laws is now pro-
nounced by him TO be fully qualified to enforce res
\ pect and obedience TO those laws. The man IN
4 whom he has seen " AN inclination to trample on
the rights OF others and to regard no Interest OF
feelings but his own, is now supported oy him as
one who will make greater sacrifices OF his own III
,erest and feelings to the good OF ohers. and be
4 more mindful Of the preservation ct their rights
II than any other man in the Union.
a we have brought these things forward TO try Mr.
Harkcr's honesty-and to try il BY his own rule
Y Some time ago, he declared in his Gazette, tha

y a sadn on " former occssion,o about Cen Jack
u son, and which was given verbatim in our paper
4 Friday last, has not produced in him sense o
a shame ii has excited other feelings OF very un
pleasant kind and placed him 10 dilemma IRON
which he will find it difficult TO extricate himself
a In conclusion, demand OF the Corporal, u ne !
a an "honest'' man, il he is " consistent ruth ht'
profession" and if he believes that he cannot D.
shamed By sight Of 1chat he has said 10 oomps,
