The Major is just now engaged in detect
ing the errors Of opinion which he Tell INTO
in 1924. Take another example OF his
statements then, and compare 1t with his
ebullitions of this day:
MR. NoAH's OPINION, Feb. 81. 1924.
With respect to Gen. Jackson, we have
had but one opinion of his claims and mer-
its, and we rank ourselves among the con
SiStent men Of the age. This country IS
indebted to General Jackson for his mill
tary services, and particularly his defence
at New Orleans. His military services
are equal to the services Of any General IN
the late war, and inferior TO many Generals
of the revolution. He has no acquaintance
with the civil policy Of this country, with
the state Of our foreign relations and IN
ternal affairs; he has no knowledge Of the
men employed in the civil department OF
the Union; he has no intercourse with the
DEMOCRACY of tie country, or regard for
party landmarks. In the limited civil de-
partments in which the General has been
placed he has evlnced an utter disregard
TO the laws. and temper unbecomlng his
high station. His talents. his feelings, and
attachments, are all military. He IL, Of all
the candidates, the most likely to involve
the country in war, by an lmpetuous and
unrestralnlng temper, aud 10 establish
MILITARY DEsPOTIsM. Such man Is
most congena to the views of the Secre-
tary Of War hut the people of this country,
are peacedbte set of men they never will
permit the military TO be above the cirH
powers; they will elect a practical man, Of
experience, temper and integrity.

WHAT NEXT2--The public are threaten
ed by General Jackson aud his friends, with
further communications relative TO the hack
MED story of corrupt bargaining on the part
of Mr.. Clay, in relation to the late Presiden-
ta Question We presume that General
Jackson, together with Eaton, Benton, and
his other counselors, will not undertake to
invalidate the clear, candid, and honorable
statement made by Mr. Buchanan, appcrtain-
ing TO that subject
Thrice is he arm'd, who hath his quarrel just.

STEAM Boar C0NNEcTICUT-Thi boat |
on her trip from Providence ito New York, |
on tuesday, underwent great danger
from the violence Of the late gale in the |
sound. For six or seven hours during the |
night of the 18th and morning ofthe 10Th, |

impossible to make use Of either steam or
sails; and they were steering in uncer.
tainiy as to their direction. The sound. |

IN quick succession, that there were bu.

made but two and half At this moment |
The boat struck, and Immediately after 90, |
again into 1--WE fathcms water. By the |
concussion, the chimney was carried |
way, and the small boat lost from the |
stern. She also lost an anchor, from be. !
my compcllcd to cut the cable, at u mo- |
ment she was driving fast on ledge Of |
rocks. The crew and passengers mani. !
Tested great GOODNESS and composure: and |
