.awful signs Of the timss.-Party spris
seems nearly to have annihilatee every
sentiment of patriotism. The CUES.
ton is no longer asked, is candle
date qualified; is he devoted to the pub.
lie welfare; is he man of sober habits.
No: such an inquiry is never dreamed
OF; the only question is, does he belong
to our party? We are lead to these re.
marks from perceiving, that on the con-
sheraton in the Senate, of the nomi.
nation of General Peter b Porter, as
Secretary of War, MrSenator Eaton pro-
duced theAddress Of the members Of the
New York Legislature, friendly to the
Administration, which was signed by
Gen. Porter as Chairman, and, after
reading extracts from it, declared be
would not consent to the nomination Of
any man who could put his name to such
charges against Gen. Jackson. The
competency, the services, and charac-
ter, of Gen. Porter, were, it seems, Of
no great weightin Mr.. Eaton's opinion.
It's true, he stood high in the Congress
of 1912, and was Chairman of Foreign
Relations which made the celebrated
War report. 1t is true, that his talents
and military experience emnently quail
lily him for the Department Of War;
but what of that'-he is friendly to Mr.
Adams's re election, and consequently,
unworthy the station.
Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia, opposed the
ncmin alton also, but he came out in
manly open way. He stated his de-
termination and gave his reasons for it.
He then alluded to the remarks of Mr..
Eaton, and observed, that on a former
debate in the other House on the Semi.
mole war he had stated his conviction
that Gen. jackson had violated the Con-
stituton. He had often reflected on
the subject since, and his opinion
was unchanged; so that on this ground,
he could have no objection TO The person
nominated as Secretary Of War. His
objection was on other grounds.
Raleigh Register.
We are not among those, who think
the Union is at present in actual danger
from the designs of some of our South.
ern politicians. To their fsctious, in.
cendiary and disorganizing sentiments,
as leading ultimately to a destruction
of our liberty and happiness, it is our
duty, NOW, however to stand opposed.
We are glad that the people in the South :
ern States are too intelligent and patri.
otto to be lead about by these dema-
gogues. A writer in the Charleston
Gazette, referring to the proposition Of
a Congress from the States opposed to
the Tariff says .4ler Ga-.
"That no legal object can be in con-
temptation. Remons,rance cannot be
intended, because remonstrance has
been tried. and has not been effectuaa
to arrest the measure. Legislation, IN
reference to the tariff, cannot be inten-
ded, because the subject is beyond the
sphere of legislation ofthe state govern
ments. Some other purpose, then, 10
miditated.-Upon such views of tho
question as this, the writer in the Gaz-
cite adds, with the feelings Of a true
patriot. what follows: KNOWING thac
there ore men among us, ,pho openly es-
pouse dissolution offhe Union, it be-
hoves us to be- on the alert--and with
our children and our families about US,
and our country and posterity before US,
to ponder well upon the duties required.

The Rev Stiles Ely, of Philadei.
phia, has published one of his political
sermons; in an appendix to which he
states, as an apology for having preach
ed Gen. jackson in the pulpit, and ios
having told his hearers what he had sara
in favor of religion. because, says the
Rev. Mr.. Ely, II was aware that coming
from distinguished fellow-citizen, II
