From the U. S. gazette.

There seems 10 be determination on tie part OF
the friends of the Administration in Massachusetts,,
to act in perfect concert without any reference to-
questions of former distinctions this has been III
dicued by some persons. as a trick OF party. we
profess ourselves wholly unable to discern any thing
in such condolences OF political eXertions, at var
ance with correct principles, in opposition to the
professions of the members Of either party-we
say this without any reference to our predilec-
tons for we find the opposition composed OF ma
teriais drawn from the same sources, and acting
with the same prospective views. A great political
object is to be obtained by the usual prescribed
means Of majority Of votes is it strange then, is
1t inconsistent, that men once at variance should
act in concert, in measure that scarcely has any
reference to the question upon which they formerly
disagreed The question of the Presidential cleo
ton has connexon with the old dyslonoi parties,
as is most evident frun, ire fact that men who in
the DAYS of Federal and Democratic distinctions,
deemed it an Indispensable duty to sacrifice all mi
nor interests, to the paramount consideration of sup
porting one the other OF those parties, do not hest
tate to range themselves in opposite ranks. processing
to have abandoned no single principle upon which
they formerly agreed The ANAL galnation Of power
then, upon such principles, is. in our opinion, moth
ing more than the concert in opinion aud action OF
particular subjects OF ceranpersons, who have hthcr
TO differed on other topics. On past measures, ant
acts that have become matters OF history. let thOs
who on future objects agree. still consent TO differ
the principles or the motives that produced them
not necessarily involved in the presidential ques
ton.

A work OF this kind has never been published in
the United States. either Of foreign or domestic
origin, thar has come within the knowledge of the
writer. though he has often sought for one. Hedg-

this business upwards of thirty years ago but he
did not find in other States any rood hedging after
which he could copy, superior TO what was to be
found IN his native STATE, though he diligently
sought for it. He had formed an idea Of system
that might be useful, and observing the most excel
lent moferioi (the thorn) growing spontaneously in
great abundance, and such as were used for the pur

the advantages promised by this undertaking have
been lost to the United States, sour natural friend
and ally," as he terms this country, by the failure
of the contractors. He seems to have viewed tile
completion OF this contract and the opening the canal
by citizens of the United States as peculiarly des
rabe; and from the protluctveness of the soil Of
Guatemala, and its favourable situation for trade, he
thinks the undertaken cannot fail of realizing great

JACKSON MEETINGS. Judging by the diff
Guilty that to exist to get up these meetings
in Maryland,e as few have been held without two or
three efforts, and from the snallness ofthe numbers
that have attended, we should suppose the people
of Mary land were pretty decidedly determined in
their opinion against Gen. Jackson as President
and no wonder--for who of all of us really thinks
him lit for it There Is man in the United
States that believes General jackson to be IA proper
character for chief Nagistrate-but inasmuch as he
gained a glorious victory at New-Orleans. every
man feels "A generous sentiment towards him, and
this inclnes many to think of voting for him. But
1t we reflect a moment, is this proper ground to
take in the election of President certainly moi
in so important matter oughtnot to act through
favor or prejudice, but take the man who is most
capable.
Hive were upon the eve Of war and we had TO
elect a Commander of The .irmieS TO take the field
we would all to 4 man vote for General Jackson
why because he understands military life and is a
practical soldl"r--no man would vote for Mr.. Adams
to command the .drmles in Warmly not because
he is not military man, he is soldier.--Let us
then take our great men and place them in the sta
tons for which they are best fit, and that will be
the way to keep things straight. If man was about
to set up a great shoe making establishment and
wanted person to put at the head of it. would he
take famous Lawyer. or great merchant for that
purpose or would he get a well taught experenc
ed Shoe Maker $50 if a man had great cause tC
try IN court, would he go to great farmer to try
for him or to good Lawyer So if a man has We
; ry sick family that requires medical aid, would h,
go to a Farmer or House joiner to visit them o
would he not get a good experienced Physician p
e So it is in all thngs--it you want Chief Magis
trate, take the abes and best Statesman YOU can fin
IT III you want n general, take the most expert an
u best taught Soldier, and you sure you are don
y right.
e 1t is admitted by every body, that Gen. jackson

to Jackson-shall we then act absurdy as to p,
