The above were once the opinions of lead ing Jackson papers. of the man they idOlize. They were said of him when his pubIick ca- reer was clOsed-and he has done nothing to retrieve the character they have given, Is it possible that the people of the U. s. can, be guided by such unprincipled men! We nev. CT before had so strong an inclination to be- lieve in the universal gllllibility of mankind, as we have had for the last two months. We are inclined we own, to believe ;t. To look at the course which the Albany Argus, the New York Enquirer end the Richmond En- quirer have pursued sickens one. These two first papers are under the guidance of MT Van Buren. and the latter under Gov. Giles & Go. And the tone of them all was changed to the present key, after the dinner which was given to the great magician when he made the tour of the southern states. and made those formi- dable combinations, which Ms Floyd boasted would put down the coalition.
 If puhlick opinion is to be bought and sold in this way, the liberty Ofthe Press" is not worth much Honest and consistent printers may rgs+lt up their type, their reputation IS gone, and leave the control of pubIick opinion to the improUed presses of Van Buren. We may as well have the subsidized press of Ma poleon at once. But we trust in God, that management will have an end. It is time for the publick know to whom to trust, and who they are trusting. How often is it said by honest men, about us, we cannot take an
 interest in publick affairs because we never know when we are acting upon correct infor- mation.' We believe this is an evil which works it's own cure. fit is not we have on- ly to say, God save the people.
 North of the Potomack.-Int the Democrat ick Press we find the following statement:
 On the 5th inst. the students of s. Carolina College almost unanimously resolved That from and after the first day of July, 1929 we will neither buy, consume, or wear,any ar ticle of clothing manufactured northward of the Potomack, until the rights of this our state, shall be fully acknowledged and estab- lished by the Congress ofthe U. S.
 This we believe, is the College in which Dr. Cooper, Ia foreigner) presides-the same Dr. Cooper who having while a resident in Penn sylvania, stoutly upheld Tariff policy; now being a resident of s. Carolina, takes the op- posite grounds, and boldly declares that if this policy be persisted in, it will be time for s. Carolina to enquire into the value to her of the Union.
 Verily,t the Doctors pupils make great pro- gress in political lessons.s He should instruct them, however, that they are infants in law, and without any polical weight.-N. Y. Am- ericGn.
 The Richmond Enquirer, not daring to stem the torrent of popular indignation which would overwhelm any Virginian who should Venture openly to appro:e of prop. ositiOn to disolye the Union, or even to hold a Southern Congress, endeavors to turn aside the force of the few remarks which we had occasion to make upon the present crisis, by an affectatiOn of disbelief in the existence of such project. This is shutting the eyes to the forked lightning that gleams before them-closing the ears to thunder that rolls along the Heavens, and preludes the storm which to follow the figure, though its effects may be salubrious, though it may purify the heated atmosphere, and refresh the thirsty earth, cannot be viewed, even while at some distance, without sensations of awe, if not of dread.
 For ourselves, we have, in reality, no ap- prehenson of danger to the Union, or to the public peace, from the gathering elements in the Southern horizon. We have an entire reliance in the good sense, as well as patriot ism, of large majority of the People of the South. But we do not view with less pain or distrust the menaces against the public tranquility-against the laws--by infuriate men. who seem to recognize no law when it stands in the way of their headstrong will Werecognize in these supporters of General Jackson violence of temper, and reckless ness of consequences, which, having seen, or supposed we had observed, in the public con duct of General Jackson, have induced us to oppose, with all our slender means, his eleva- ton to an office for which he was never desig ned by nature. and has not been trained by education. The Enquirer knotcs the wild projects that are in agitation in the South, & knowing, fears them. The Enquirer must know that similar projects of Southern Fed eration, and of exclusion of Eastern products, were covered under the verlbage of Govern or Giles Messages to the Legislature of Vir- ginia at the last Session and the Enquirer, lying by in the eddy of public opinion, and perceiving the danger of coming out, has not ventured to uncover them. We call upon the Enquirer now, as an organ of the Jackson party, to come forth manfully. and avow or renounce and rebuke those heretrical doc- trines, which propose that one State shall tax or exclude the manufactures or other pro- ducts of another, and which propose an as- sembly of Congress of the Southern States, for the purpose of inficting punishment, of some sort or other, not only on the New
