This not the first tine. that the Clergy hayo
attempted 10 elec,ionccr, for the Hannibal Of
tie sgc. and i il is not long, since the Reverend
Ezra 81, les Ely, preached a whole Sermon in
his favor, and held the Hero up to tho world
as one Of the family Of immac ulater-as the
pious ST. Stephen Of the age, as tho Paul Of
christendom.
But this systcm Of olcctioncoring through
the pulpit, will not answer any good end, and
wherever General Jackson is known, this sys-
TEN Of imposition, and scandalous theological
intrigue, carries with il its own corrective, for it
is we'll known, that n more irrcligious' man than
Andrew Jackson, never existed. Early in life,
he imbibed the religious opinions Of the heroes
Of the French Revolution, and more suisse
q~uentIy, has been the open and avowcd advo-
cate Of the dogmas of Thomas Paine. and, is
probably tho last man on earth, who would sd-
vocate the Advancement of the principles Of
the primitive Christians, and Of tho carly chris
tian Church. That he behaves with dccency
when in Church, We have not a doubt, but the
fact does not provo, that he Is one OF the meek
and lowly followers Of the Saviour Of mankind.
As to his religious tcnets, VIC do not suppose
that he is prepared to deny them; and, is asked
what they are, we believe he would unhesi-
tatingly declare them to be widely at variance
with those, which have been ascribed TO him,
by those pulpit declaimers, who had far better
attend to their pastoral duties, than mlngle in
the political affairs of the day.
To close; in a word, it is susceptible Of proof
that General Jackson has not much regard
for the christian religion, and the whole course
of his life, has proved him to be completely
destitute Of those refined notions of morality,
which are SO essential to the common man
but more particularly SO, to the President of a
great Nation.

Co SOLOMON S0UrHwicK.--We present
our compliments To the Hon. Solomon South
wick, the very able, yet OK ceedingly c~aptious
Editor Of the National OBSERVER, published at
Albany, and assure that venerable gentleman,
that We take no particular exceptions to the
volloy Of personalities, which he was pleased
to cast at US, in lis paper Of the 3oth ultimo
As 10 his hook, we care nothing about it.
and, If friend Solomon realizes a rapid ssle for
il, we sh all no, complain, though we must say,
that no effort shall be made, on our part, TO pro-
duce its rapid sale. and extensive circulation.
Wcshavc not seen the book, it is true, but we
have heard enough Of it. from the mouth OF
Solomon himself, to induce us TO the adoption
of an unequivocal opinion, that it is not wor-
thy Of public patronage.
If we understand Solomon Alright, the ostcn-
sible object Of the hook, is to bring into unmer-
tied disreputc, the Society Of Freemasons-
and this being its object. we cannot aid its
extension. To that Society NO are not attach
ed-we know nothing Of its creed its designs,
or its operations, and cannot form any posi-
BILE opinion, in relation to its utility or inutility.
But when we zee such men as Henry Clay, Dc
Witt Clinton, and a host Of others distinguish
cd for their talents, and public and private
worth, joining the order Of FREEMAsoNs, we
must applaud an Institution, which is patron
lied by the ~virtuous and the great, and depre-
cate the designs Of those, whose business it is
to calumniato the best men Of tho nation.

Pennsylvania. Mr.. Miner, editor Of tie
Village Recorder, q member of the House OF
Representatives from Pennsylvania, thus speaks
of tho clamor now made by the furious parti-
zans of Gen Jackson in the different states:
eff the military flag is to be unfurled-ifthe
camp rs to he the sole avenue to honoTs if our
Catos are to be ga crGced that Ceears may rule
than are we in the gulf stream that has
swept away all other Republics to perdition.
AL who hate tho dull pursuits OF civil life,
ardently arrange themselves under the banner
of the military chieftain. This fact we should
suppose would alarm the prudent who have
wished him success. Give the military spirit
tho ascendancy and the question will soon be-
come here, rs il was in france, under Bona
parte-' In what campaign have you served
The militia will fall into disrepute-the stand
ing army be greatly enlarged and absorb to itself
all respect and honor. Epaulletted dandies
will be seen psrading our streets, sneerIng at
farmers sons as inferior.
War! war! and there never is needed a pre-
tence where the wish exists tax and oppress-
ion will follow. The bands Of your sons who
would advance themselves in life, must be
taught to WELD the sword instead Of tho pen.
What will avail learning, mental instruction,
civic virtues and the improvement Of the under
standing, IN be obtained in perfection only, by
slow and painful study. if oil sorts Of violence
combined with notorious unftncss, are over
looked in q man who has gained q victory in
battle, and he h thereby purified and exalted,
into a fit candidate for the Presidential Chair.
Your Jefiersons--your Ellsworths--your
Franklins will be thrown into the shade and
suca chiefs as Scverus and Caligula lead
your dCstinics.

SEMINOLE WAR.-The following is the con-
concluding paragraph Of the speech Of Mr..
Clay, on the celebroted Seminole resolutions:
"Ho (Mr. Clay hoped gentlemen would de-
liberately survey the awful isthmus on which
we stand. They may bear down oil opposition;
they may even vote the general the public
thanks. they may carry him triur=phantly
through this house. But, if they do, in my
humble judgment, il will be a triumph of the
principle of insubordination-the triumph OF
the military over the civil authority-a triumph
over the constitution Of the land. And he
prayed most devoutly, to heaven that it might
not prove, in its Ultimate effects and consequent
ces. a triumph over the liberties of the oeo-
pie"
Our only object in publishing the extract, is
10 show the entire consistency Of Mr.. Clay,
and to prove from recorded facts. that the SEN
timents he expressed in 1927. are the same as
those which were entertained and expressed by
him in 1910, Every man. who knows any
thing about Henry Clay, must know, that he
never could, in any situation in life, give his
support to General Andrew Jackson.

o. AMERICAN MANUFACTURE

OCr AMERICAN MANUFAcTuREs.-In
watching tho progress Of American manufac-
lures, it is as agreeable. as it is fattering to
ones pride Of country, to notice tho rapid
strides we are making towards perfection in
the manufa cturing arts s. and whilst we watch
the operations Of the ingenuity Of American
artists, and each and every day behold the
rapid Improvements that are made, we are led
to believe, that the day is not far distant, when
" our workshops, instead Of being in Europe,
will be located on our own soil, and We shall
be rendered completely independent Of the
manufacturers of the mother country"
Among our manufa %cturers, there has OF late,
boon manifested an ardor, and a determine
ton to excel, which is worthy Of all common
dation; and, actuated by that ambitious zeal,
which all must applaud, and none can consci-
e~utiousIy deprccate, they have gone on to the
accomplishment Of those great ends, which
cannot fail to result in the happiness and pros
perity Of the nation. Whilst they have thus
labored. and tugeed, with laudable enterprise
for honorable prefermcnt, they have been sec
onded in their exertions by the great champion
Of American Manufa %ctures, the present Secre-
tsry of State, and under his auspices, they
have Houished like the vino, and have arrived
at Q state Of perfection, which was never con-
templated by our ancestors.

GENERAL JACKSON AND RELIGIoN.--
A late lumber Of the Richmond Enquirer, con-
tains a letter, purporting to have been written
by a presbyterian Clergyman, residing in Ten.

JOHN D. GOODMAN, M. D.
The foregoing letter was not intended for the
press, ant was written to Doctor Goodman
whilst he resided in Philadelphia, though no
injunction Of secrecy was laid upon that gentle
man, for it is the practice of Mr.. Clay. TO OK
press himself freely. frankly, explicitly and
strongly; and, whatever he expresses, he is will
ling should 60 before the whole world. Doc
tor Goodman, now resides IN the city of New
York, and ia one Of the professors in Rutgers
College, and wholly abstains from politics.
But beholding the manner in which Mr.. Clay,
has been ussailcd, and abused, by his enemies,
who have basely charged him with the most
odious species Of corruption, Doctor Goodman
has been induced to publish the letter, as az
fording some testimony in favour Of the purity
Of the Secretary Of State. 1t is not a little sim
gular, that all Of the accusations which have
been preferred against Mr.. Clay, have fallen
to the ground; for it is sometimes the case. that
even falsehoods will be substantiated by the
per jured and the corrupt; bat, SO far as Mr..
Clay has been concerned in the affairs Of the
times, no one has been produced to confront
him openly and fearlessly--no ono has been
found sufficiently abandoned, to swear 10 his
allodged political impurity.
