 Thus much on the two great objects of Mr. Cs ramph'ei. have only to remark by way ol concIu- sHn, that "iacts stubborn things The sicuiRnd n' ot' carnage Ui r.

 A NEW-ENGLANDER. [We insert the above article because we think there any soundness in it, but because are wiI ling that Gen. Iackson's friends in this section of country should be heard in his defence since we sn- cerey believe that the charge of wifu and corrupt islander upon him. If Mir. Clay must be judged guilty until he convince his inveterae enemies that he is innocent, ant make them coQess their convictions, he has got Hercuean task before l hm ;--for these men obstinate, and many of 1 them almost as ignorant the Irishman's pig who m,st be made believe he is going to Cork in order to get him to Dnhiin " How do we know the earth ant fat," says Deacon Homespun. "How do know Mir. Clay and all his friends have not lied says l a Jackson man, with wise nod of the head, as much as to say, 'I know thing two." Now such person this is " wiser than seven men who can give a reason."l 1 The Jackson party in Nemont--fcw and far be- tween.-were to celebrate the battle of New Orleans 1 on the 8th C. -P Van Ness, the would-be Senator & ex-governor, president of the day. This is the gentleman, who, in his manifesto against Mir Adams, 1 declared that Che should be cheered in his opposition by the company of the most distinguished tcderalists" | Agrceably to this prediction, Mir Van Ness was sup ported by the Hon. Martin Chttendcn, as vse presi- dent, the |" distinguished federal" governor of Yer 1 mont, who, Tn 1915, when the Green Mountain Boys
 volunteered to fight the enemy beyond the lines, iss 1 ed his proclamation, ordering them home declaring
 it "unlawtul to engage in so unrighteous war; He
 can however now for party purposes celebrate victo | rics obtained in that What "consequences" ! will you draw from this Mir Wells?
 II have already said, that Washington himself was
 not governed by oflier notions of independence than 1 Gcn. Jackson now repeat the remark: nay, go
 farther, and say, that Washington the boast and orn-
 ment of our country, was not acted by purer love of l freedom, nor by more generous magnanmous impul- ses, not by more seif-denIa, nor by greater 1 dsinterescd devotion to the public welfare, nor by
 scrupulous regard to justice, than are shown ] in the character of Gen. Jackson. It is moreover,
 well known, that Gen. Jacksons experience in civil
 matters IS incomparably superior to that of Gen. Washingon's, previous to his being made president. Among other distinguished qualities. it is undeniahly
 true, thatGen. Jackson possesses an intimate knowl- edge of mankind and of the human character-a much more than ordinary portion of sagacty-exraordina ry qu'ckness of perception-a clear discriminating judgment-an energy and precision rarely equaled- together with trankness candor, and urbany of de-
 
 m an eminent degree to fill the more dignfcd station 1 in the human family"
 The above is copied into the last Hartford Times, Vithout comment. The sentiment therefore is entirely agreeable to Mir. Wells But in our hum- bic opinion there is not half much good sense and sound truth in it, in the following resolve lately pas sed at meeting of the citizens in Windsor Vt. "Re- 1 solved Matthereis second Washington in North 4 'serca and pro6abymW not be for mnny years 70 coms Was ever the madness party rage carri cd higher than the present time. Four years ago Gen. Jack brought forward for the Presidency in thougltless manner, with the avowed purpose of divi- ding the votes, defeat the election of Mr. Craw- ford. Since the actions of mankind havefbeen recor- dcd upon the page of history, it has ever been found that tIe milt ary hero is surrounded by halo which can so dazzle and bewder the great of common people that they become willing slaves to his nod re- joicng to lick the very dust from his feet ence an- cient history is scarcely any thing else than tnued account of battles and blood shed II ly necessary to tell the great of citizens that Gen. Jackson commanded troops at the battle of New Orleans and describe the gories which he there won for the American arms, and theN were ready to throw their hats the air and "HuZzah for the He TO of w-Orlcans," "he's the man for president" 1 without inquirng whether he did any more to that victory than any ofhs subalterns would have done in like cIrcumsanceso whether his 1 ncoyeS him hava oc tho ouoI;tce of
