Administration

The Jacksonites have given up Kentucky,
and are busy in making excuses for the defeat.
They pretend never to have counted onKentucky
& they have enough without her. How happen-
ed it then that so much anxiety was felt by them
to see the result? How happens i, that they ap
pear so chaplain now the result is known?-
Never counted on Kentucky, indeed! How
long is il since they put forth statement in
which they claimed $500 majority for the Jacks
SON candidate, and how long since Duff Green
published a statement giving the Jackson cam
dida,e about $500 majority, and assured his
readers and friends, that the most entire conf,
dence might be placed In the correctness Of
the information, on which assurance the Jacks
sonites of This city made and lost bets OF some
thousands of dollars?- Boston Patriot.

Toll for him, s his overseers and task masters

who "seldom goes abroad except in his coach
and attended by relinue Of servants and out
riders" We think our real farmers, our har.
DIV yeomanry who eat the bread Of their own
toll, will no, fail y perceive the imposition
which is attempted to be palrned upon them, &
the gross insults which j. offered to their un.
ondinss, when their sympathies and their
support are asked for such man, on the
ground of his being farmer. Old George the
Third, Of England, who actually had farm in

In noticing the death Of Judge Peters Of Phi

ing remarks.
The venerable Judge Peters, whose funeral
Is to take place this afternoon, was one of the
most remarkable and celebrated men OF our
hemisphere. Few held so high rank IS re

for Independence, in the most important Off es,
In immediate association with Washington and

nor on the bench: he might be styled tie father

course Of years he studied and promoted the
Improvement that primary branch Of indus
try with intense zeal and signal success: as a
wit aud companion he had no equal; the mum,
Der and excellence of his Dor mots are, we
think at least unsurpassed in the instance of
any one Of his contemporaries. To these ex-
iernal merits were added the finest domestic
virtues and reputation;-,he affection and reve-
renee OF his children, and the esteem end al
