But may be answered, that this cannot
be that it would be too glaring departure
from sentiments once entertained on the same

The disr ute originated in politics. These murders
are becoming more and more frequent and such is
the reckless arontery of those engaged, that, like
Carson of North Carolina, who murdered Dr. Vance,
in Nov. last, they will come into National LegisIa-
ture, The pretended temple ofjustice, and with the
most bare faced audacy, spout forth the foul!est
buse upon the heads of government, charging them
with corruption, intrigue, and crime, the

by national judgments, and perhaps there no nation

this. In proportion to the manifest merces we have

GEN. JACKSON AT NEW-ORLEANs.
Our readers are aware that il was IN contemplation
long time to get up asplendid celebration at New
Orleans on the 9Th u in commemoration Of the bat
tie which was fought there thirteen years ago,-and
that Gen. Jackson publicly invited to be present,
"6e'ei VIII" ooieso'es Ho'h the JdCkson party III N
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Mississippi
p The accounts of this celebration have Just been
received in New England but are so contradictory,
that is impossible know what the trnth is in rea-
ton to the subject. One account, given by New Or
leans editors and letterwrers opposed to the Hero
as candidate for the presidency, represent the bust

of the popuation-the merchants and mechanics
took no part in the celebration that the steamboats,
did not all turn out and but few vessels in the harbor
hoised their flags that the dinner was noisy con-
cern-the ball Notifying failure, the theatre when
the General entered it, almost empty: and to crown
the WHOLE the Legislature refused to make an appro-
praon sufficient to defay the expenses and that the
Guest left the city at o'clock at night to avoid
the modification of seeing naked Levee at broad
day ght-the people having determined not to turn
out and line the banks Of the river, to cheer him on
his departure. Another account,-as opposite in its
character from the above the poles,-dsscrbes the
services of the day. being Of re-actng of the
prominent scenes at Casarea, when Herod there
and made set speech to the people. The writer
says his pen is too feeble paint the overwhelming
acclamations ofjoy and praise which were shouted
forth to the Hero from ten thousand tongues; and
when he describes the Generals address, and its eff
feet upon the multitude had he added, at was the
voice Oft god, and not of man." the picture would
