BURNING JACkSONlSM W..

We have but briefly noticed the documents laid
before Congress, containing Jacksons threat to burn
an Indian Agent in the flames Of his own House.
We cannot appropriate space enough for the docu-
ments in extenso. The Hero in 1912, made COM
plant to Government against an Indian Agent, ST.

peaceaby if he could, forcibly if he must He writes
thus to Geo. w. Campbell, as Senator from Tenn
essee.
.'Be frank with the Secretary of War, that we
are freemen, and that will support the suprema-
cy of the laws, and that the wrath and Indignation
Of our citizens will sweep from the earth the lnva
der of their legal rights, and involve Silas Dlns-
more in the flames Of his own agency House.-We

Frank enough Roast the Government Agent

COLONIZATION SOCIETY.

We received, some days ago, the Eleventh An
nnal Report of this Society, pamphlet OF hun
dred and twenty pages. On cursory glance at its
contents, we find that most otthe particulars have
already, in great degree, been anticipated by pre-
vious publications. The Managers announce the
improvement and extension OF the settlements in Ii
IBERIA rapid obllteration Of prejudice formerly
entertained against the Society an important in
crease offunds and more general desire among
free blacks to join the colony. Contemplating this
establishment, (the offspring of humanity only in
the light of sylum for those whose color etfec-
tualy and forever DISTINGUISHES them here, we are
glad TO hear that there is good prospect of its ia
king firm root in Africa. That continent exhibits
a singular problem to the philosophical. Though
the earliest to present an empire OF comparative
civilization and SCIENCE its lot has been barbarsm
and oppression. The settlement of extensive colo
MES on its coast of the European race, where the
climate will admit, or, in the present CASE OF Af
rican descent,-may in time help to solve the doubt
tu question, how far its rudeness is the result of
climate, of original nferority Of its people, or
OF mere accident, which must be confessed to be of
no small influence in the fortunes OF nations. The
mind reluctantly admits the proposition, that civili-
cation and liberty are proper to particular climates,
much less to certain races of men. That this has
been the case, in point of fact during the whole
known history of the species, does not quite esab-
lsh it to arise out of necessary principles of our
ture Gould Africa be gradually brought within the
pale OF the civilized world, by means of her own
descendants, returning to her bosom, imbued with
the arts ofthe nations to whose oppression they were
victims in the first instance, humanity would be glo-
rously consoed for the infamy of the slave trade.

a report on the 28th of April on the behalf OF the
Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate, unta-
vourable to various petitions memorials, and reso-
lutions of several the State Legislatures in rea-
ton to the colonization of persons of color. This
unfavorable report is founded by the Committee not
only on various constitutional grounds, but on the
inexpediency of welding the power, the exerton o.

HIGH AUTHORITY.

To those who seriously think that the members
of the House, were bound by any principle to vote
for General Jackson, because he stood highest on
the list, recommend the following argument in the
hope that it will be candidy examined, for it the
argument of Jackson man.
On the 9TH of Februa,-" 1926, in the House Of
Representatives of the United States, Mr.. M'Lane
said g 1t is made duty [by the constitutional to
select from three candidates, and contend that as
respects the state of the vote out of this House,
they are upon equal footing--they all equal
ly nominated for our support, each resting bis claim
upon his individual qualifications. Why was this
scope given to selection, or their relative
strength be obligatory upon our judgement Nei.
Their the Constitution nor the principles Of gov
eminent pay respect TO less than majority, and as
neither candidate before possesses this advan-
tage, what other guide have we? Ahe gentleman
have argued very confidently as if the plul alty in
vote were to control our choice. If it were so,
the discretion secured by the Constitution would
be mere mockery: It must be supposed to author
ize us to choose from three and yet confne US to
one. Our duty would be simply to elect the man
highest in vote without regard TO fitness. But Sir,
said Mr. NJ Lane, this is not the principle OF our
government In the primary election, majority
of the people is to govern here majority Of
the States The plurality principle is in oppose
ton to both. The majority of the people are
certainly opposed to such candidate--a majority
of the states may be. The state of the vote in the
colleges is the result Of condition Of things, which
no longer exists. 1t may have been produced by
the number of candidates, and without respect to a
preference between three persons from whom
choice is here to be made. 1t our high privilege
to weigh and consider all these things to deliberate
up the qualifications of the candidates, and tocor-
slider who would best serve the people, and whom
they ought to, not less than whom they do, prefer =
