which characterizes patriotism, for the
Gayotedness of strength aud talent to the
execution OF the holy trust committed

would honor him. The Philosopher of
future years, as be traces ia succession

The following article from the Mas
sachusetts Journal, presents. in forei-
BILE manner, ths havoc which the new
administration contemplates among the
new officers:
JACKsoN is COMING"
It is no longer doubtful, frsm returns,
that the People are defeated--ihst the
election is lost in other words, 10
use the favourlte language Of our oppo
nents, that "Jacksonis coming" It's a
matter of consequence to the people to
know who is coming with bin.
The Washington Telegraph has in-
formed US who are to be punished" by
General jackson. They are Henry
Clay, the pride and boast of our country,
for many year S the Speaker of the II ouse
OF Representatives, often without oppo-
sition, or nearly so; negociator Of Tue
Treaty of Client. and the ablest paria.
mentary orator in America.
The next man to be punished, Is MIR.
Rush, appointed Attorney General by
Mr.. Madison, and Minister to Englend
BY dr Monroe. where for eight years
be discharged his duties with extraordi
nary ability. He is now to be punished
by General jackson, because nearlv one
half of the citizens of the country, have
thought him deserving OF the Vice Pre-
sidency.
Ihe reasons given for Furnishing Mr..
Southland and General Porter is, that
they arc 'the tools Of Mr.. Clay.n If so,
they are ahe tools of which the best
workmen need not be ashamed. Mr..
Southland was appointed by Mr. Monroe,
on VIZ. Calhouu's recommendation. and
has discharged the duties of Secretary
OF the Navy with as great ability as they
were ever discharged General Porter
was Chairman of the COMMITTEES of Fo-
selgn Affairs in the Congress that Dc.
clared war against GrestBrtain ia 1912.
We hope that this will effect mtiga-
tlHn of his punishment from the Hero Of
New Orleans. Mr.. Writ is also named
Tor punishment, We do not exactly I'M
oerstand why. With but one competitor

ms country, a politician of the Virginia
school Of Democracy, the bosom friend
OF Jefferson and Madson-it will of
course be gratifying thing to the coun-
Try to see him displaced.
The Telegraph goes on TO enunerate
snumoer OF gentlemen employed in the
GInerent departments, who are to be
punished. Among them, Mr.. Nourse,
'he venerable Register of the Treasury,
VINO entered the public service in 1887,
ana has never left since. This removal
Will be very acceptable TO the thinking
portion Of the American People. and
particularly to our Religious and Chris
uan Associations, OF which be 10 a con-
splcnous member.
we are inclined to think that General
'aGkson's partisans are going to be bit
,efy disappointed, and that there will
Sc much fewer removals than they think;
and we shall give our reasons.
=, FIRST. Mr. Adams removed nobody.
We offered to Mr.. Crawford to continue
"a The Treasury; but bis health compell-
"a him to resign MIR. Calhoun was e.
,|seted Vice President. MIR. Southland,
'Nir m'Lean, Dir Writ. and all the Fo.
reign Ministers retained their places,
except Dir. Bush, who was called home

@1o'ais that have taken place under Mr.,
adams Administration. have been those
