POLITICAL DEPRAYITY.

We do not know when we have been more
forcibly struck with the drpravity oil transac-
ton than we were on reading an address, IN
The Z.nesv,Ae Republican Of the goth ult. by Mr..
Peter Harvey. Mr. Harvey had, few Gays
prior to this period, been elected captain in
the militia, and meeting with some friends
with whom he exchanged civiliies, and whose
congratulations he received on his success over
I.sksen ss&dldafs captain his si friends go st.
according 10 his own account, Usry n'elo,D. On
his way home he met party Of Heroies, who
considered him in the right plight" for con-
rersion TO Jncksonisn, set themselves 10 work,
anG harrangued him most Justify on the beau
Ties Of their faith, not forgetting TO belabour
Mr.. Adams in The mos unmerciful STYLE
They proved too much for the captain, and they
go, him % sign circular which they very ac
commodatingly prepared Tor him, renouncing
Adams and all his wicked works. In this cir
culAr they descend TO the lowest species OF
abnse Of Mr.. A.; and having thus tishonorably
taken advantage Of Captain Harvey's incbriated
condition, were base enough TO publish The cir
culdr; thereby putting him to hr trouble and
NORTH alion of publishing Recaniation, in
which he has not been very sparing either OF
those who surprised him when his sentinels
were asleep, or Of The Idol for whose benefit
they prperated The beaslly achievement. The
captains reply is well written. and shews plains
ly that when !Ieis himself ne is match for the
best Of them-being somewhat Of Tartar.
AS we cannot spare the room for the captains
ls'ie' entire, We will extract short though
emphatic senrence:-" Blu, am now myself
aGai". and hereby notify the public in gene.
81, H., AM NOT, NEVER HAVE BEEN,
AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE A
JACKSONIAN."
When the captain next takes conviyial
glass, ought 10 be certain there are no Jackson
Committeeman 10 beguie him 10 his pathway
home. One or two more surprises by the enc
my will most assuredly Cause him to forfeit all
his claims to. generalsbip, If not his prospects
Of promotion, which with soldier is every
thing. To be serious We think the u inesuiNe
Junto should blush at the recollection Of such
an act. MaryLander.
