I Another Dose.-We have again felt the
pulse and examinedt the state Oi our patients.
the Jackson Editors. We find them with
very malignant symptoms; an intermittng,
hammer pulses total prostratfon otstreDgth,
a superabundance OF bile, and a strong ten
dency TO mental derangemsut :wbile at the
same time the evncuations are abundant
and very fetd. Under such circulnstsn.
ces, we have judged it necessary to give
them strong emetic, prepared from their
own nostrums: and here 1T is.

"We pass over the earliest scenes that
were exhibited in New Orleans in Dccem

not enter into Ia examination of the ques

put in a state Of serpeiiidnce. Those eX.
traordInary measures however harsh, nigh,

whether he had gone to effect q general:
through him Admiral Cochrane' had an
nounced the arrival of a vessel from Jamai-
ca, with the news Of peace having been a.
greed on by the two countries. The same
intelligence had reached New Orleans
from another quarter. On the 9Th of March,
Gen. Jackson received an express sent by
the Postmaster General, bearing commun-
ications from the Governor, it is understood,
that the Treaty of Peace had been signed
the Oath Dec. 1924. Was it not time, then,
to close the odious scene ofmilitary power !;
Did necessity require that Mr.. Louo llier,
member Of the Legislature, should be ar
| rested and confined? That Mr.. Hall, Dis
trict Judge Of the United States, for ssn.
ing a writ Of Habeas Corpus, on applca-
ton Mr.. l.. should himself be seized, drag
ged to the Generals camp, detained in
close custody, and then sent beyond the
limits Of the encampment, until the rati-
| fication ofpeace is regularly announced, or
| until the British shall have left the South
ern coastY That the District attorney,
Mr.. Dick, who applied to Judge Lewis for
a habeas corp.s to liberate Judge Hall,
should himself be nrrested !? And that an
order should be issued, for the arrest Of
Judge Lewis ? Were these high handed
measures rendered necessary by the cir
cumstanccs Of the case ? Or do they NOT
rather bespeak the. species of temper in
Gen. Jackson, which is TO make his own
will the sole rule Of his actions.

disgualif him for The Executive chair.

the record, that he has exhibited nj Match

son: that the man who makes his own will
and pleasure the sole rule and guide of all
his actions ought not 10 be trusted tciih the
large po,eers Of a President Of The United
States. We want for that office a man,
who will coolly and carefully observe the
law and the constitution for these are to
be his guide in the administration of his
power. Now is Gen. Jackson possessed of
that cool and tempered spirit ,chich wiH. .ft

exhibited that spirit IN past times? What

at is proper that We contiupe tn offer
evidence of his Gen. ackson'sl total in.
capacity for the high station contemplated,
and the danger which must necessarily at.
tend his elevation to the Chief Magistracy.
Divided as the people may be respecting
the several bjec tionable as
some sro. desirable as others may be there
il still prudence and discretion sufficient to
promote an unity OF sentiment, a surrender
Of private attachments, and personal con.
siderations, to prevent the selection of a
man, whose head is
"Like tho snow crown'd Etna,
Cramtned with fires"
Whose WW is ia,c, ,rhose march is desolafion.
and whose practice is to command and orer.
bear such as are within the scope of his
power and sovereignty. Almos, every re-
public known in history, almost every coun-
try distinguished for pesce and happiness,
have been subvcrted or destroyed by mii-
fory usurpation. In the United States the
history Of pnst times is well known We
never can plead Ignorance. Il is expected
