FOR TIE WATcHMAN.

There is little fear that Gen. Jackson will ever
be elected to the Presidential char: but. if he
ever is, it will be in consequence OF his possessing
character of negative goodness; for it is too ev-
ident that he is completely deficient in those posi
the qualifications which should mark the charac.
ter of President Of the United States. He
stands not upon his own strength, not upon his
innate worth-but he is supported BY host Of in
terested and desperate defenders, who rally round
him in order to give unity to their designs and
force to their doings. Hatred and ambition ii,
men of talents, are dangerous to moral principles
in the human heart, as they destructive to ci-
vii government, or domestic prosperity and hap
piness. These passions are reckless of conse
.quences to the individual or country. Humanity j.
forgotten, truth discarded, reason deaiened, and
the whole man becomes ready to pursue every path
of injustice and violence that will lead to thu at
tainment of his views. This may account for
several talented men having enlisted as body
guards, to defend the character and cause OF Gen
Jackson. Not that they are convinced that he
possesses the necessary abilities to fill the office to
which he aspires, do they support him; but because
his elevation is identified with their own, because
then their ambition will be somewhat alayed am
their animosity partially satisfied, by the dlscom
future of those they hate. General Jackson is the
ralyng point at which the 8. Combination unite.
They stand around him in dark phaanx, ready
for desperate deeds of open violence, or the mean
err Vaccinations of base, humanity intrigue and
management. When ingenuity fails, eifrontery
must accomplish the deed On the exertions of
such clan, Gen. J. must depend for his support
or election. His character is made up Of apollo
gics. 1t takes all the ingenuity, desperation and
baseness of his adherents, to ward Oft the many
charges Of ignorance and crime that are preferred
against him. So diseased is his moral character
and so inferior his POLITICAL that every nostrum is
applied to conceal the former, and every exagge
ration and embellishments used to initiate the latter
The opposition prints teen with editorial remarks,
committees reports, and private correspondence,
all appoogetical of the faults Of the General
Facts have been distorted, truth sacrificed, and
even the immaculate character Of the great and
good Washington has been inundated at the shrine
of falsehood, all to extenuate the outrages Of an
unwise and ambitious Military Chicftain, and to
feast the hopes of disappointed and revengetul as
plrants. Who would mingle with such mass !
Who would give his vote for such characters.
whose object is their own aggrandizement, and
whose ends are both base and violent? Who

will not support improper measures through a

TASTE, OF ARSENIC.

At the trial of Mrs. Smith, for poisoning her
servant. in February last. the professional senle-
men who were examined differed to the taste
of arsenic. 1t is singular that a difference Of
opinion should exist on fact of much mpor-
lance, and apparently, so easy to settle. On re-
ferrng to systematic authors in chemistry and
medical Jurisprudence, it will be found that arscn-
ic is invariably said to have an acid taste. But it
is we'll known, that systematic writers too apt,
especially on points apparently so simple and
trivial. to quote from one another without personal
experiment; and accordingly, when reference ~
made to such medco legal authors as have written
specially on arsenic. or to the evidence OF person,
who have taken it when administered with arti
cles of food, We find that some say the taste i,
sweetish, others that it is at first swedish an.
then acid and others that it has no taste at all.
The natural inference is, that the taste, whatevc
it actually is. must be weak 50 that III fact. III,
poison may be swallowed without any taste beng
perceived. We have been Informed by DR.. Chris
tan, Professor of medical Jurisprudence in this
University, that in reference to the evidence ON
Mrs. Smiths trial, he has recently made some
experiments on the subject, and chat others have
been made at his request, by DR.. Duncan and Or.
Turner and the following is the general result
the quantity of the solid poison tasted. varied from
two to four grains and the duration Ut the tasting,
from half minute to minute and a half. They
perceived towards the end. very faint swedish
taste AS to the solution its taste appeared to be
swedish. What may be its taste, when allowed
to pass to the root Of the tongue, is not very
to determine, as the experiment. nsaue with SUI
ficicnt quantity. would be unsafe = bat it has cer-
tainIv been swallowed without the person lemark-
ing any particular taste at the tne, and the most
common accuant has been that it tasted s"eetish.
