Ia some remarks, which he submitted 10 the
House on the Tariff, 4 few days ago, Mr. Cam
brerpg assured US that it was the decree OF fate
that General Jackson should he cleo led Presi
dent We should BE- glad TO know from what
oracle he obtaincd the information, and in what
mystic terms il was conveyed. We give the
language Of Mr.. Cambreeng as near as posi-
bic:
1--WE are now on the verge Of another Admi-
nistraiion speak the honest convictions OF
nv mind when say so. We may have warm
campaign, but we cannot alter the decree OF
f..e. The seed is now ao%u, and the harvest
u Va rsaned."
Now, as one honest cunrICrIuu Just
good as aGother, we will State ours-which is,
that il fate has decreed any thing about the re-
sull Of the present contest, II Is, that Mr.. Adj
ans will lie reelected; that General Jackson
and his friends will BE- doomed 10 severe dis
appointment. and that, a, the next session Of
Congress, The Honorable member from New
York will have 10 read The recaHtation of his
political errors. We know We'll enough that
plenty Of seed has been sown, but does it of ne.
cessi,y follow that 'the harvest will be reaped"
The soil may be unpropitious to its growth;
the seed NAV rot below tho surface; IT may

and mildcw may wiher it; storms may beat it
down; iishtnings may seattle it, and even when
the sickle has performed its office, the crop
may no, be worth the har, csiing. We are told
IN Holy Writ Of variety Of unpropitious ac-
cidens and incidents which prevented the seed
OF the sower from springing up ana producing
a harvest. II was none but the seeI sown on
good ground WHICH profitable. The sow.
eis alluded to by Mr.. Camhreleng have not pos
session Of the good ground. They have sown
by the way side, on The sterile rock, or in The
rank earth, where the tarcs will choak the
plant.
If the member from New York has been Civ
ing The reins 10 an imagination somewhat i'm
bued with the spirit of poetry, he las only been
weaving beautiful fictions for his own delusion.
If he has consulted any prophet, to discover The
DEGREES OF Tate, ne may rest assured II was |
lying prophet, prelender TO that knowledge |
which he never possessed. y few months will
suffice to disspa,e the delusion, and lalsify The
prediction.
A SECRET INFLUENCE OF no common charac. !

ment near the English throne. An aluson |
published IN most Of our papers, was made, il |
will be rene INBRED in the House Of Commons,
by Mr. Duncombe, 10 an "incorporeal being"
who in connexion with another and more sub
stamtial person in The city, was in fact the foun-
tain of Office and honor. This hint thus thu own |
GU; BY young member Of The House, seems to
have produced srea excitement aud the papers
TEEN with remarks, some serious, some spor.
tive, on the extent Of this influence, and the !
characters OF those who exercise it. These in. |
dividuals, il apprars, are Sir William Knigl- |
ton, one Of the Kings physicians, and Roihs-
child, the Jew banker. Mr. llerries, the late |
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, and now reduced |
to Master OF the Mint, is said TO have owed his |
appointment TO the first named station, to an
opportune suggestion Of his name, by the Dec
Tor, at moment (aud none better understand
when they are, than The faculty. when TIC roy
al ear was open to his influence. Tie cunning
Israeli'e was the friend Of the favorite physician.
1t is in reference 10 such an influence this,
hat writer in the London Times, who signs,
thus exclaims:
Things cannot remain they are We
cannot suffer the destnies Of this mighty en-
