ever since his coming out for the Office Of Presidan,
and mad his election have come on six months ago.
he most assuredly would have received my warmest
support AS had never taken the thing into con-
sderation at all, and thought he would do we'll
enough but upon more mature and deliberate con-
slderation, found many, yes, great many obec-
tons against giving Gen. Jackson my Suffrage and
as many reasons tor turning It for the present
Administration. which are too obvious to any think
ing or we'll meaning man, to need specification
But what vexes me most Isl that should be tanta-

thought proper to think for myself, and not to be led
away by any set of designing men who are only am
bitious for their preferment, (if you will allow
me to use the expression) if it were to send the
country to the ID.
sincerely hope that every man will follow my
example by weighing the question well in their own
minds before it is too late aud mind not what others
say; but arm themselves with the right spirit (cop,
paravely speaking) as the Apostle Paul did, iorsa-
king the evil and embracing the good.

! GEORGE kREMER. The editor of the
Galaxy, who has resided at Washington
most of the past winter, is furnishing his
readers with sketches of some of the most
prominent members of Congress, thrown
into the agreeable form of dialogue. The
following is extracted from MS notice Of
the distinguished member, whose name
stands at the head Of this paragraph.
Mass. Spy.
''In body of more than two hundred
men, so many of whom are men of intel
lect, It is not surprising that you find few
of a coarse and vulgar cast; and of this
class, Pennsylvania has the misfortune OF
furnishing the most conspicuous in GEO.
KREMER. He is clownish in his appear
ance, l0pcing in his gait, and sloyenly IN
his dress. His hair looks, for all the
world, like a mop made of oakum. and
used until it was bleached to the color OF
Il light dirty yellow. The features of his
face were naturally strong and probably
were not unseemly, when he was young,
and before they were bloated and discolOred
as they now are. He often speaks for a
short time. His phraseolOgy is tasteless
and vulgar, and almost every word he ut
tiers is falsely pronounced. His elocutlOn
is that of mountebank. such as we some.
times meet with on holidays, attempting
| to recommend a puppet show. He rises
to the highest notes; and then sinks as
low as possible for effect This he prOba-
bly, learned from the great orator, Mr.
Pinkney; but the living speaker forgot
that a vulgar imitation Of the sublime Is
forever ridiculous. Such a member is
worse than useless; he is often made a
cats-paw when wanted by those more cum
ming than himself; and when he is not
wanted for a tool he answers well for a
bufoon; for no sooner does he give init
nation that he is about to speak, than
many gather around him to enjoy good
laugh. This wrecked declaimer Is as full
of selfcomplacency as any one you ever
heard; he watches the sounds of his voice,
and they seem to come back to his ear full
of eloquence-and when he has finished,
he retires to let the House recover from the
ecstacies of their admiration. At such in
tervals he wanders in the library, or visits
the apple-woman. to refresh his exhausted
frame, which has suffered like that of the
Pythia with his paroxysm of inspiration.
This does we'll enough for a momentary
amusement, now and then, but such ex-
hibitions are a blot on our national charac-
ter and ought not to be tolerated a mo
ment. If such speakers were kept to the
subject under discussion, they would soon
exhaust themselves and desist: but when
they are incapable of discriminating be
tween the laugh at folly and the smile at
wit, and are suffered to ramble wherever
they choose, it encourages them to exhibit
themselves as often as they have a chance.
The reporters should give these speeches
rs they are, and not attempt to put them
IN decent shape for publication. A few
correct that IS erGCt reports, would make
the constituents of such men ashamed Of
their representative, if he was destitute
of shame himself"
