From, the Pittsburg Statesman.

In ale,,er from gentleman east OF the noun
.ains. of great intelligence, and whose oppor
,uni,ies Of knowing the state OF public senu-
men,, are equal, If not superior, to those OF any
other man in the state, we have assurances that
the administration is gaining ground, with a
rapidi,y equal to the most sanguine eApecta-
tions. The letter has these words-"Believe
me we are doing well in this part OF the State
This side Of the Susquehanna will surely give
a majority against Jackson, and the North
Eastern Counties will do the same"
One of the Jackson papers, east OF the noun
taius consoles itself for the diminution in the
Jackson forces in that quarter, by the hope that
the people in the western counties, will form
ga solid phalanx" in support OF the Jackson
cause. In this expectation, we fear the editor
is doomed 10 be sadly disappointed. short
visit to Washington, Beaver, Allegheny, and
the other western counties, will convince him
tina, here too, the people are wise enough to
know when they are well of. They have no
disposition to place their interests in the hands
of John Randolph, John e. Calhoun, Col. Ben
ton, or even Martin Van Buren, They are not
tired of an administration, which thinks and
acts as they themselves have always thought
and acted. Jacksonism is on its last legs In
the West.

From The Ohio State Gazette.

The friends of General Jackson in this state,
are at present making great efforts to organize
their party upon principles similar to the buck
tail party of New York. They are endeavor-
imp to call MEETINGS in every inhabited county
in this state; these meetings are to appoint their
pe,ty officers and CORES spending committees;&
!, would seem that Cincinnati is to be the cap
ital of this new government, from whence shall
Issue the laws. This is an ingenious plan TO
make the sturdy yeomanrv Of Ohio suc"umb, s.
be subseryient 10 the views Of few political
men. Mr. Van Buren, the "master-spirit" as
he is called of the opposition; no doubt thinks
tina, Ohio will, by this bucktail organization
follow his dicIation: but unfortunately there is
too much honesty, plain dealing and indiffer-
ence about political matters among the people
of Ohio, for them to ever become the willing or
blind instruments Of any men or OF any party.
Some of the Jacksonians, who are yet blind to
the fact, that they are merely following in the
wake Of an ambitious and reckless Southern
opposition 10 the administration, and who can
no, vet see that this opposition is making a
mere tool Of the friends Of Gen. Jackson, TO
further their own sinister views: such perhaps
NAV make futile attempt to meet together in
some of the counties, and publish formidable
addresses eked out with the name of chairman,
secretary and all the other pal,ry jugglings Of
party imposi,ions.
IfGeneral Jackson cannot be elected by the
free voice ofthe people, but must be pushed
into office by county meetings, corresponding
committees, and intrigue and corruption, Ohio
is the las, place in which such means will be
countenauced or supported. The people OF this
state will spurn with Indignation inns new
tangled organization OF party-wl'h It's ofhcers
and political leaders.

euished individuals on the accession OF the
