This parody, at best, but a bad specimen Of
doserrsil- without saying anything about the
numerous Inaccuracies discoyerable in It's meas
urs-will afford tho reader somo idea, Of the
STATE Of the feelings Of the party, AFTER having
kbsrally % sacrificed to The Gods Of wins and War;
and it is worthy Of tho occasion, on which it
was vociferously chaunted, by the assemblage
Of idolatrous man-wonhippers, and political
slaves.
4 Whom MI. Keene had finished hi. song, there
we're sviGced strong manifestation Of thirst by
the asssmblage, when the goblets were again
filed. TO drink a sentiment offered by the REV
x~RENDJouN NEwLAND MAirIrr, a Meth
sdist Clergyman. who offered the following:
/" b. Rev. J. N. MAyvITr. General An
dres Joekson.-A germ Of a plant from the
Emerald Isle-Wbile We admire, and duly APP
prsciats his military prowoss. and command
ing valor, that rescued our country's escui CHI
con from . foul stain. and achieved her SILVA
ton, when invaded by 4 naughty fee, wearing
the lsurels of victory, gathered from the sol
diers Of Napoleon we would render him a
nohlsr need OF praise, and say Of his virtues
and unadorned republican simplicity of his lite,
what Cornelia said Of her children =" These
are our Jewels"
We are sorry to notice. that q cl%crgyman;--
q gentleman whose life 10 profsssodly dev oted
10 pretty. morality and virtue. should be pre-
vailed upon to attend a political juncke,ing,
where songs were sung, which could not but
offend those moral principles which he svow-
sdly advocates, and which he is bound by his
clerical robes, 10 ccnsure and condemn. But
so il is; here we find a preacher Of tho COS
pei, and a man who should shu, himself out
from tho world. mingling with all sorts and
conditions Of society and listening TO their bach
.~n.iian roarings, indicate jokes ana inuendoes,
and if not Immediately, remotely, encouraging
by his presence, vice in its most odious features.
Personal respect for Mr.. Mafitt, a man who
10 our opinion. has through life been "more
sinned against than shining" lead US to regret,
that he should be found among the members
Of q political cabal, whose ostenslble object
WAS TO oppose the true interests OF the people, |.
and to accumrlate power.
That IN his moments ofdel,bsration;-in those
hours. when hi, pious mej,utions, assembled 1,
the throne of C race, he would have consented to
he a participation IN thi. political frolic, we do
not be'ievs:-op the contrary We know. that he
would not, and that he has been lead sstray, by
the art;fce and the Vaccinations of the designing
politician.
The object, in thus bringing the Reverend
gentleman. before q political sssemblsge, is pol
pab.e, and as easily discovered, as the nose, on n
man's face.
II was undoubtedly this. The individual.
who c~ompssel the Jackson meeting. first imro-
sei upon Mr.. MAfh't's better 70 sling',hy making
him believe, tha, General Jackson was an i'm.
mediate descendant Of the Emerald Isle and
Tins working upon his love Of country and self
love, induced him to be present, INDUCING a
vain ksae, that when j, went abroad that an
eminent Methodist clergyman, had become all
advocate Of G eneral Jackson, mnny Of Tie re-
spectacle members Of that very numerous and
influential society, would follow his example,
an openly and ard ,n,ly support tho cause Of
the Hero Of the Hermitage. That such an eff
feet ~ill be Preiuced, We 10 not believe for
when the pious. and humane member. Of that
celebrated sect Of christians, remember the case
Of Dickerson, and that Of Samuel Jackson =
the cool bIooded atrocities which signa,ized the
Creek war, and the unjusiifable, execution of
Arbuthnot and Ambristsr, they will never sup
port Andrew Jackson, for the presidency Of the
United States Of North America.
When Mr.. M.fitt had sat down, the Hen.
Jonas Sibley ro,s, and addressed the asssmblage
10 the following effect.
"Hon. JONAS SIBLEr, a member Of the
House Of Representatives from the town of
sutton, on being called upon by the President
for . sentiment, observed, that he came there ,
rather to hear than TO speak. But as be had
been called upon to give a sentiment he would
with the indulgence Of the company, make a
few observations. II might, he said, be sup
posed by some, that his conduct in appearing
there on that occasion and joining in the fcs-
tivitiss Of the day in honor Of General Jack
son. was inconsidsrate and inconsistent with
