We have often marvelled at the facility with
which sonc Of the corps editorial can throw po'
litical summerse,s. For any thing that we can
see, the Evening Post. the Argus, the Ricn-
mond Enquirer, the New-York Enquirer, and
id genus onane, write as smoothly and t~luenlly in
favor Of Jackson now, as they did against him
when their iuterestlay the other way-anG when
they consequently called him all manner Of hard
ugly names. Now this, we repeat, has always
appeared wonderfully strange to US, until the
evening of the memorable day on which Sam
Patch piich,d into the briny deep at Hoboken.
We there sat down upon a NOISY bank near the
scene OF action, and with a crayon wrote the
following regular.built, Jackson article-every
word of which we believe as sincerelyas MIR.
Coleman believes in the virtues, talents and
qualifications Of Gen. Jackson. Here it goes!
.fn0they Barga,n!- 1T is difficult for men OF
plain unsopnisticaIsd imaeina,ions, like our
sc YES for instance, to divine at what pitch OF
proAigacy the present corrupt administration
Will sop before il terminates its career. Not
content with disturbing he political relations Of
every state IN the union with inflic ting upon
the friends OF Jackson, in Louisiana, the dengue
fever the dav bt fore Inc late election-with CAR

sor Cooper 10 set our republican fellowcitizens
at The south at loggerheads with the Tariff,
Jackson men OF the north, Clay & Adams have
new been detected in another bargain in the We
ry bosom of this peaceable communitv. The
circumstances of this renewed attempt Of q corr
rupl coalition, we will detail to our asIonished
readers as briefly as possible; and if Messrs. A
dams and Clay do Sot come out, & prove them
selves innocent, we shall forever hold them
guilty Of the foul. offence, and speak ofthem &C
coidrngly.
Without any breach of confidence, we have
been enabled to procure, through the instrument
tally Of a gentleman holding a confidential sit
uation under the editor Of the Albany Argus
the same hiehminded man who was lately pu,
upon the track Of a gentleman from Rochester,
and who also had the adroi,ness to i~nsinuale

Among the American physicians OF the pre-

live TO the 18th inst. sill have attained The age
of one hundred years We allude to Doctor
Edward Augustus Holyoke, long revered for his
professional skill, and private worth, by all who
know him. He is the oldest graduate al Har.
ward University, and the only surviving men,
Der of his own and several succeeding classes:
We understand that he still retains his health,
strength and mental energies, and is now able
to participate in the ordinary enjoyments of
life. He may be looked upon as the father Of
the Healing Art in New England; having pro-
badly contributed 20 its early establishment "a
mong US, and witnessed its progress nearly a
full century. AS testimony of respect to his
grea, agr, his services and virtues, we are gra-

/ left the ball as.late it wore.
And glad to be in - her Boudoir,
From surveillance exempt,
Gszed on the books she last had read,
The chair her form had haliOwed-
And grieved that it was empty.
And sleep his web MAS round me weaving
While listening to that wind harp's breathing
Whose melody so wild is,
When one, whose charms are not Of earth,
(IIer father just q 'Plum' is worth
And she his only child is
Like 'Perth's fair maid before me stood,
As If to kiss in madcap mood
Nv ewes in slumber folded.
Her form was large-too large you'd say
ssYet knew not whence to pare away"
So finely it was moulded.
Her ewes were of a liquid blue
Like sapphires limpid water through
Their soften'd lustre darling.
Her m,nd-inumined brow was white
As Snow drift in the pale moon light,
The hair across it parting,
was of that 'paly brown we're told
By Scott, receives y tinge Of gold
When sun-beams through it tremble,
And round her mouth two dimples played
L:ke-nothing e'er on earth was made
Those dimples to resemble.
And then she stood in girlish glee
To win a pair OF gloves, or see
.How odd I'd look while waking,
When I, like blacksmith Hal, her waist
So unexpectedly embraced,
The bond there was no breaking.
Her swelling bosom heav'd at first
Asif her bodice through would burst
Its angry little billows;
Her eye was fred beneath its lsshes,
As streams on which the lightning flashes
Will sparkle thro' their willows.
But when I loos'd the eager grasp
In which l to my breast did clasp
Her struggling and unwilling,
felt her soft and slender fingers
1.-THE ting'lIng of my own yet Engers)
Within my pressure thrilling.
Ispoke to her-she answered not,
told her-now ] scarce know what,
1 only do remember
NV feelings when in words express'd;
Though warm as augusta my breast.

As that which I have cherishedi
Oh God! if my sear'd hear; had given
The same devo;sdness to heaven

1 long have loved-loved you alone,
But cannotknow how dearly;''

My ev'ry aim in life was LOST
She knew I spoke sincerely.

Upon her words, and would have knelt.

The London Sun, in noticing The character

"Let US, just for instance, suppose this novi

ence with Mr. Gallatin, could any man hesi>
tate in predicting that The British minister
would be overrearhed by American cunning,
seeing tina, even the genius of MIR, Canning

that shrewd and accomplished republican. Or
could ;he premier, in such a case, lend any as

was also another transaction of terrible import.
A gentleman who is supposed TO have been III

doub, by an emissary Of Clay, with a view OF
Teasing his appetite for SANDER upon The pri'

honest men 10 have their coat tails cut OIL, oy
