fears; but it is, of the principle, which. if
at all, IS to seat Gen. jackson in the Presi-
dental chair that we are deeply apprehen-
slve. 1t is a principle which strikes at
the root OF our system. 1t is one of per-
sonal glorifcation for personal deeds in
arms. 1t is the bowling down of millions.

all-not only will the success of General
Jackson be in itself of evil omen, as the
triumph OF military, over civil qualifca-

at the commencement Of, and previous to,
the year 1925, as Numerically opposite as
north and south, and who, though now act

phrase, indeed, impious as it is-but most
expressive. is to be found the whole secret
OF this combination, the sole principle of
union and cohesion. Place and power, at
any rate and at any cost, are to be aimed
at; and in order that some dozen or twenty
individuals may thus be gratifed with place

The people will judge how far they, who
speaking in the mass, can receive no per-

lers, are willing to encounter the risk of
removing those who have been tried and
found capable and honest, in favour of un-
tried, and we really believe, incapable
petitors-competitors who having no
positive merits of their own, put forward

hope, as we confidently believe and trust
that the gratitude which rightly belongs,
and is awarded to distinguished military
services, may in It's excess and blindness,
confer upon him who performed them, the
reward, the high and enviable reward
which alone belongs to civil talent and ex-
perience, and to high moral and intellectu-

| NEGRO ALBIEo. One of the most singular
freaks of nature, is the production of Albnos
They are, most of our readers are aware,
I persons of a snowy whiteness, usually with
hair almost perfectly white, and eyes of red
dish hue. They occur so rarely, that, as will
be recollected, few years since, one e. Miss
Hervey the beautiful Albioness, y was exhibited
through most parts of the country, and attract
ed multitudes of visitors. They are usually
born so, but, in some instances, they have be-
come SO afterwards. The following account Of
sucht change in o Negro, is distracted
from a report of the case by Dr. Hamilton,
and published in one of the late London papers
This was the case of man aged so, in
! whom the change of color surperveRed
upon a surgical operation, the nature OF
| which is not explained, although it had
been attended with perfect success. Pre-
vious to his metamorphose he had suffered
considerably from an asthmatic complaint,
which from the time ceased to annoy him.
After the operation, the citatrix of the
wound remained white the back of his
hands were the first parts that changed
color, then the forearm, and so the change
proceeded in the upper extremities. II
then took place in the lower, while white
spots began to manifest themselves on the
breast and shoulders. In the year 1920
and in the course of twelvemonth after
these changes began, the lower limbs were
perfectly white, with the exception of few
greyish spots that were observable here
and there. The head was SO white, that
its color could be seen through the hair
which retained the original hue. The sur
face ofthe breast, belly, and back, was dot
ted with black shining spots.
