TACTICS OF THE COALITION.

TACTICS Or The COALITION.
The Voitigeurs and Light-armed troops of the
Administration in Congress have opened another
fire upon General jackson. In one respect they
have a decided advantage over their opponents
The heads of the Departments, in possession of
ali the documents, and are cunning enough to hunt
up every paper, which may by supPositon be
brought 10 bear upon Gen. Jackson. AS soon as
they can light upon one, which they conceive
may be adroitly handled, twisted and turned in "a
ny way whatsoever by their meTcenary Swiss in the
editorial line, they set their trained band in the
House to work, who Immediately cast about for
the means Of calling for these papers. There is
perfect concert between the Heads of the De-
partmcnts and their puppets in the Housc--they
know exactly when and how to play into each o.
theirs hands. And thus we have the noble spec
tacc of a set of officers, turning from the public
business of the nation which they were employed
to transact, and hunting up all the means within
their power, Of blackening the character of a.
Jackson, and retaining their ill-gotten power.
IN this way, they have irumped up a letter Of
Gen Jackson, written in 1872, which is TO be os-
tentatiously employed in the course Of the cleo
tioneering campaign. The great design is to show
that General jackson is destitute OF literary at
tainments; that he sometimes writes bad grammar
and nisspels his words But, fsuch be the fact;
if in his private letter to George w. Campbell Of
Oct. 1912, which written in haste s. dictated
by indignant feelings al the misconduct Of Silas
Dnsmore, the Choctaw Agent, he does fall in
to " syntactical photographed Mistakes" il
may then become the duty Of the people to deter

times spells solemn without an ~, and stceep with

trigue, trampled on the constitution OF his coun-

tive might be, we would rather select the man
who like Marlborough does not know how to spell,

More beautiful than now
That God will bless him IN the skes,
Oh, mother tell me how :"
. Daughter, do you remember, dear,
The cold dark thing gu brought,
And laid upon the Easement here,
a wl,her'd worm, YOU thought
:old YOU that Almighty power
Could break the ~hhercd shell,
and show you IN q future hour,
Something would please you well.
Look at the chrysaIs, M love,
An empty she'll it lies
Now RAISE your wondering glance above,
10 where yon insect flies !"
Oh, yes, mamma how very gay
Its wings, of starry gold
Aud see II lightly flies away
Beg ond my gentle hold
Oh mother. now know full we'll
1t God that worm can change,
And draw 1t irom tbs broken cell
On golden wings to range
How beautiful Will brother be,
When God shall give him wings,
Above this dying world TO fee,
And live with heavenly things"
