ence OF other nations.
Since Mr.. JeHierson's death there has been exhi-
bited disposition Of very different portion of the
American people to enlist under the banners of the
Hero. 1t was not surprising, though it might be re-
GREETED, that certain class of people should think
a successful battle was a greater qualification for
the presidency than any services in civil life But
it is very surprising that certain men, who know
better and have actually proved ii by their former
Recommendations of the General should now be willing
to take leading part in bis promotion. This is a
symptom much more to be feared than the mere
Partially entertained, by of ordinary talents and
information, fora successful General. 1t indicates
state Of things much more threatening to the exis
cnce Of the republic than appeared to Mr. Jefer-
sou, unless he aware that there never would be
any want of leaders in cause in which any consd-
erable number of people were willingly engaged
The 6 Combination had not been formed, when
Mr.. Jefferson expressed his fears this subject.
These gentry, from envy, ill-will, unconquer-
able desire for promotion, not only declared but
actually proved tby their acts, that g this admins
traon must be put down, were they pure as
angels" Their qualification could only be accomp-
ished therefore, by the destruction of the present
men in power. Hence, knowing that they could Sc
cure class of men who still thought the battle Of
New Orleans qualification for the Presidency,
they defeated every measure, when they could, that
was calculated to strengthen the government, and
established presses, and called meetings to create as
much discomfort as possible. Had it not been for
aspiring men, members of Congress, and would be
Secretaries Ministers, and office hunters generally,
this country, so much excited this subject, would
be as quiet as any man could have desired.
But we yet see cause to believe that the Com
bination, composed Of men Of the most opposite
opinions and characters, will triumph. There is
large mass not of the leaders but of the uniformed
that WILL influenced by further knowledge and
more deliberate views of all those circumstances
that ought to operate with them, turn from the er-
ror of their ways. There is vastly more principle
and honesty among the mass than among the leaders
Of the Combination. Many of them may be iniiu-
enced by former disappointment; but more know
ledge, and view of the real state OF affairs, will
put all those right who not willfully blind or
most cuipaby obstinate.

to erect 'fandago' on the Catskl noun

What his fandango was to be does not appear,
but he set printer, a bia ack smith, n joiner

he was taking his ease IN his inn, aud farng
sumptuously every day. On some suggestions

giving 4 pecuniary equivalent, lie vanished
from mems eyes; but whether, like Medca OF
